Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power monitoring, and specifically relates to a method for identifying power transmission equipment based on a thermal imaging dual-spectrum temperature measuring PTZ camera. Background Technology

[0002] In modern power systems, condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of transmission equipment are crucial for ensuring the reliability and security of power supply. With continuous technological advancements, traditional manual inspection methods are gradually being replaced by intelligent monitoring technologies. Infrared thermal imaging and visible light imaging, as two important non-contact monitoring methods, have been widely applied in the condition monitoring of transmission equipment because they can provide temperature information and visual characteristics of the equipment.

[0003] Power transmission equipment, such as transmission lines, transformers, and switchgear, is crucial for ensuring the stable and reliable transmission of electricity. Because power transmission equipment is typically exposed to complex environmental conditions and is susceptible to factors such as weather, pollution, and mechanical stress, continuous condition monitoring and maintenance are essential.

[0004] In power systems, the temperature condition of transmission equipment has a direct impact on its operational safety and reliability. Excessively high equipment temperatures are often a precursor to malfunctions or potential risks, such as equipment overload, insulation aging, or cooling system failure. Therefore, monitoring abnormal temperatures in transmission equipment is crucial for ensuring the stable operation of the power system.

[0005] Common power transmission equipment includes insulators, current transformers, voltage transformers, and disconnect switches. The parts of these devices most prone to overheating are usually the joints, which are also the key areas of focus during maintenance. In traditional substation maintenance, workers need to check the temperature of each equipment joint. This is a large workload, and because equipment maintenance cycles are long, generally only once every three years, it's easy for overheating to go undetected.

[0006] By analyzing infrared and visible light images of power transmission equipment, problems such as overheating, insulation aging, and mechanical damage can be detected in a timely manner, allowing for appropriate maintenance measures to be taken to prevent malfunctions. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of this, the present invention proposes a method for identifying power transmission equipment based on a thermal imaging dual-spectrum temperature measurement PTZ camera, comprising the following steps: S10 uses a thermal imaging dual-spectrum temperature measurement ball camera to acquire multispectral image data of power transmission equipment; S20, identifies and classifies different devices in the image; S30 detects the temperature of the identified device and issues a warning signal if the temperature exceeds the preset range.

[0008] Preferably, the procedure specifically includes the following steps: S1, observation path planning for thermal imaging dual-spectrum thermography PTZ camera; S2, a thermal imaging dual-spectrum temperature measurement PTZ camera, captures and uploads infrared and visible light images of power transmission equipment in real time. S3, Power Transmission Equipment Identification: Performing dual-spectral image registration and power transmission component identification and classification; S4, Temperature Detection: The temperature of the identified power transmission components is detected, and a judgment is made based on the preset temperature threshold. S5, Visualization and Result Output: Displays component identification results, temperature detection results, and temperature anomaly alarm information.

[0009] Preferably, S1 includes setting the observation point, focal length, and recognition frequency of the thermal imaging dual-spectrum temperature measuring sphere.

[0010] Preferably, the observation points in S1 include transformers, circuit breakers, disconnect switches, instrument transformers, and surge arresters, as well as their joints.

[0011] Preferably, S2 further includes a thermal imaging dual-spectrum thermometer recording the images to be identified, which are used as raw data for neural networks and temperature calculations.

[0012] Preferably, step S3 includes denoising the acquired infrared and visible light images, then performing image registration to ensure that the infrared and visible light images are structurally aligned, and finally inputting the processed images into a neural network to classify and locate the components.

[0013] Preferably, step S4 includes locating and cutting out a designated area of ​​the power transmission component, calculating the temperature of the cut area according to a preset temperature standard, and comparing the detected temperature with the set maximum permissible temperature.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the power transmission equipment identification method based on thermal imaging dual-spectrum thermography PTZ camera disclosed in this invention has at least the following beneficial effects: The system automatically identifies power transmission equipment and further detects the temperature of the identified equipment or components. Using multispectral image data acquired by infrared and visible light spherical cameras, the system first accurately identifies and classifies various types of equipment in the images. This process relies on advanced computer vision technology and deep learning models to ensure that the system can accurately locate and label different types of power transmission equipment in complex environments.

[0015] After identification, the system automatically detects the temperature of the identified object, focusing on areas of abnormal temperature, such as hot spots or cold spots. Temperature data not only reveals the current operating status of the equipment but also identifies potential faults through long-term monitoring. If an abnormal temperature is detected, the system will issue an early warning signal, prompting maintenance personnel to conduct timely inspections and maintenance.

[0016] This intelligent analysis system based on image recognition and temperature detection greatly improves the monitoring efficiency and accuracy of power transmission equipment, avoids the shortcomings of manual inspection, and provides a reliable guarantee for the safe operation of the power system.

[0020] The dual-spectrum thermal imaging PTZ camera is an intelligent monitoring device that integrates infrared thermal imaging and visible light imaging, enabling it to simultaneously acquire temperature information and appearance characteristics of a target object. It captures the temperature distribution map of the equipment surface using an infrared sensor, and combines this with high-definition images obtained from a visible light camera to achieve precise monitoring of the status of power transmission equipment. The advantage of dual-spectrum imaging lies in its ability to provide more comprehensive information in complex environments: infrared imaging can overcome the limitations of visible light to identify potential overheating and abnormal temperature conditions, while visible light imaging helps identify the equipment's appearance characteristics and its surrounding environment.

It can be set with 272 preset positions and has a maximum cruise route of 8. By periodically monitoring the temperature and changes of power equipment, including transformers, circuit breakers, disconnect switches, instrument transformers, and surge arresters, this camera can detect equipment faults and potential hazards, provide timely warnings, and prevent equipment damage and power outages.

[0023] Specifically, the following steps are included: S1, Observation path planning for the dual-spectrum thermal imaging temperature measurement PTZ camera; setting the observation points, focal length, and recognition frequency for the dual-spectrum thermal imaging temperature measurement PTZ camera.

If equipment overloads or other factors cause overheating, the connection points ( Figure 2 The temperature first rises and reaches its peak at the two boxes in the left-hand diagram. Therefore, in unmanned monitoring systems, it is crucial to monitor the temperature of these critical joints to promptly detect equipment overheating and take appropriate preventative measures.
