Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of Internet of Things, and more specifically, to an electrical equipment status monitoring system and method based on the Internet of Things. Background Art
[0002] Internet technology is the foundation for the development of the Internet of Things. The core and foundation of the Internet of Things is still the Internet. It is an extended and expanded network based on the Internet. The Internet of Things integrates with the Internet through various wired and wireless networks to transmit the information of objects in real time and accurately. It is a ubiquitous network built on the Internet. In the past two decades, the rapid development of the Internet has brought extraordinary opportunities to the world. Looking at the history of the development of the Internet, it can be seen that the development of the Internet has the characteristics of industrialization of operations, commercialization of applications, globalization of interconnection, broadband interconnection, multi-business integrated platform and intelligence. The development and application of the Internet of Things will far exceed the Internet and will further change people's production, work, life and learning methods.
[0003] The power industry is also ushering in a new technological change with the development of the Internet of Things. Electrical cabinets are generally composed of electrical equipment such as electromagnetic relays, fuses, AC contactors, residual current protective devices, capacitors and meters. These devices have strict requirements on the environmental conditions of the working environment, especially in corrosive environments. Electrical equipment is affected by corrosion factors, resulting in reduced operating stability and reliability. The failure to replace accessories or new equipment in time often increases the risk of failure in electrical cabinets.
[0004] In the IoT system, data is at risk of being intercepted, tampered with, and forged during transmission from sensors to gateways, edge servers, and then to cloud servers. Sensor data and historical data stored in the cloud are easily targeted by cyber attacks, and there is a risk of data leakage and loss. Sensor data may contain noise and errors, affecting the accuracy and reliability of the monitoring system. Sensor failures, network delays, and transmission errors may cause data loss and incompleteness, affecting the real-time and accuracy of the system. There are incompatibilities in protocols and interfaces between electrical equipment and sensors from different manufacturers and models, which increases the difficulty of system integration. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide an electrical equipment status monitoring system and method based on the Internet of Things.
[0006] The object of the present invention is achieved through the following solutions:
[0007] An embodiment of the present invention provides an electrical equipment status monitoring method based on the Internet of Things, comprising the steps of: installing intelligent sensor nodes with built-in edge computing and self-diagnosis functions, and adaptively adjusting the frequency of data collection according to the working status and historical data of the electrical equipment; adding an edge server between a gateway device and a cloud server to perform hierarchical data analysis; using a machine learning algorithm to train the historical data of the electrical equipment, constructing an equipment health status model, and performing fault prediction and health assessment; setting a warning condition value according to the prediction result, and the intelligent alarm system performing fault processing according to the warning condition value.
[0008] Furthermore, the frequency of data collection is adaptively adjusted according to the working status and historical data of the electrical equipment, including: classifying according to equipment operating parameters to determine the collection priority of each parameter; using historical data to establish a baseline model to define characteristic thresholds of the equipment under four working conditions: normal, warning, abnormal and fault; comparing the real-time collected data with the baseline model to identify the current working status of the equipment, and using a machine learning algorithm or a rule engine to perform real-time analysis on the collected data to identify status changes.
[0009] Furthermore, the characteristic thresholds of the equipment under four working conditions, namely normal, warning, abnormal and fault, are defined, including: when the equipment is in normal operating state, the collection frequency is set to low-frequency mode, and in low-frequency mode, the collection interval is set to every 10 minutes; when the equipment parameters are close to the warning threshold, the system automatically increases the collection frequency to capture potential abnormalities. In the warning state, the collection interval is shortened to every 1 minute; when the equipment parameters exceed the warning threshold but do not reach the fault threshold, the system further increases the collection frequency. In the abnormal state, the collection interval is every 10 seconds; when the equipment parameters exceed the fault threshold, the system immediately enters the high-frequency collection mode to ensure that detailed data of the fault is captured. In the fault state, the collection interval is every second, and the alarm mechanism is triggered at the same time.
[0010] Furthermore, an edge server is added between the gateway device and the cloud server to perform hierarchical data analysis, including: the edge server receives sensor data from multiple gateway devices through a local area network or a dedicated communication link, cleans and preprocesses the received data, removes noise and fills in missing values, and performs preliminary formatting processing, and filters out redundant or irrelevant data according to preset rules, retaining only key data.
[0011] Furthermore, the machine learning algorithm is used to train the historical data of the electrical equipment, build an equipment health status model, and perform fault prediction and health assessment, including: selecting characteristic parameters related to the health status of the equipment, extracting time series features, and standardizing the data to improve the model training effect; building a random forest model, dividing the data into a training set, a validation set, and a test set to ensure the generalization ability of the model; using the training set to train the model, adjusting the model parameters so that it can effectively capture the health status characteristics of the equipment, and evaluating the stability and generalization ability of the model through cross-validation to prevent overfitting; using a sliding window method to predict time series data, and evaluating the health status of the equipment in real time. According to historical data and expert experience, thresholds for health status and fault status are set, and when the predicted value exceeds the threshold, a fault warning is issued; and according to the health status score output by the prediction model, the health index trend analysis of the equipment is calculated.
[0012] Further, the construction of the random forest model includes: performing statistical analysis on sensor data under normal operating conditions, calculating the mean μ and the standard deviation σ, setting the threshold range of the health state to [μ-kσ, μ+kσ], where k is a safety factor, and the threshold range of the health state = [μ-kσ, μ+kσ], using the trained random forest model to predict the real-time sensor data to obtain a health state score or a predicted value ypred, calculating the health index of the device according to the output of the model, and setting the value range of the health index to 0 to 100,
[0013]

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention.

[0025] All features disclosed in all embodiments in this specification, or steps in all methods or processes implicitly disclosed, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps, can be combined and / or expanded or replaced in any manner.
[0026] like Figure 1 to Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , an embodiment of the present invention is provided, which provides an electrical equipment status monitoring method based on the Internet of Things, including:
[0027] S1: Install smart sensor nodes with built-in edge computing and self-diagnosis functions, and adaptively adjust the frequency of data collection according to the working status and historical data of electrical equipment.
[0028] Preferably, the equipment is classified according to its operating parameters to determine the collection priority of each parameter; historical data is used to establish a baseline model to define characteristic thresholds of the equipment in four working states: normal, warning, abnormal, and faulty; real-time collected data is compared with the baseline model to identify the current working state of the equipment, and machine learning algorithms or rule engines are used to analyze the collected data in real time to identify state changes.
[0029] Furthermore, when the equipment is in normal operation, the collection frequency is set to low-frequency mode. In low-frequency mode, the collection interval is set to every 10 minutes; when the equipment parameters are close to the warning threshold, the system automatically increases the collection frequency to capture potential abnormalities. In the warning state, the collection interval is shortened to every 1 minute; when the equipment parameters exceed the warning threshold but do not reach the fault threshold, the system further increases the collection frequency. In the abnormal state, the collection interval is every 10 seconds; when the equipment parameters exceed the fault threshold, the system immediately enters the high-frequency collection mode to ensure that detailed data of the fault is captured. In the fault state, the collection interval is every second, and the alarm mechanism is triggered at the same time.
[0030] S2: Add an edge server between the gateway device and the cloud server to perform hierarchical data analysis.
[0031] Preferably, the edge server receives sensor data from multiple gateway devices through a local area network or a dedicated communication link, cleans and preprocesses the received data, removes noise and completes missing values, and performs preliminary formatting, filtering out redundant or irrelevant data according to preset rules, and retaining only key data.
[0032] Furthermore, the edge server is connected to multiple gateway devices via a local area network or a dedicated communication link.
[0033] The gateway device collects sensor data from electrical equipment, including voltage, current, temperature, vibration and other parameters, and sends the data to the edge server.
[0034] Furthermore, the temperature sensor generates an abnormally high value due to external interference at a certain moment. Through median filtering, the high value is filtered out and replaced by the middle value of the adjacent time point.
[0035] Furthermore, if a sensor has no data recorded for a period of time during the collection process, the data of the missing time period can be estimated using the data points before and after through linear interpolation.
[0036] Furthermore, all sensor data are converted to JSON format, the timestamp is unified to UTC time, and temperature data in different units (such as Celsius and Fahrenheit) are converted to the same unit. For current data with a high collection frequency, if there is little change within a certain period of time, key points are retained at a certain time interval, and data points with little change are filtered out.
[0037] S3: Use machine learning algorithms to train historical data of electrical equipment, build equipment health status models, and perform fault prediction and health assessment.
[0038] Preferably, characteristic parameters related to the health status of the equipment are selected, time series features are extracted, and the data is standardized to improve the model training effect; a random forest model is constructed, and the data is divided into a training set, a validation set, and a test set to ensure the generalization ability of the model; the model is trained using the training set, and the model parameters are adjusted so that it can effectively capture the health status characteristics of the equipment. The stability and generalization ability of the model are evaluated through cross-validation to prevent overfitting; the time series data is predicted using a sliding window method, and the health status of the equipment is evaluated in real time. According to historical data and expert experience, thresholds for health status and fault status are set, and when the predicted value exceeds the threshold, a fault warning is issued; according to the health status score output by the prediction model, the health index trend analysis of the equipment is calculated.
[0039] Preferably, the sensor data under normal operation is statistically analyzed to calculate the mean μ and standard deviation σ, and the threshold range of the health state is set to [μ-kσ,μ+kσ], where k is the safety factor,
[0040] Health status threshold range = [μ-kσ, μ+kσ]
[0041] Use the trained random forest model to predict the real-time sensor data and obtain the health status score or predicted value ypred. According to the output of the model, calculate the health index of the device and set the value range of the health index to 0 to 100.
[0042]
[0043] When the health index or predicted value ypred of the device exceeds the health status threshold range and approaches or exceeds the fault status threshold, a fault warning is issued.
[0044] Furthermore, sensor data of normal operation over a period of time (such as one month) is collected.
[0045] Calculate the mean μ and standard deviation σ of the sensor data.
[0046] Assume that the data collected by the temperature sensor in one month is as follows (unit: °C):
[0047] [22.1,22.5,22.3,22.7,22.2,22.6,22.4,22.5,22.3,22.6,22.4,22.5,22.3,22.5,22.4][22.1,22.5,22.3,22.7,22.2,22.6,22.4,22.5,22.3,22.6,22.4,22.5,22.3,22.5,22.4][22.1,22.5,22.3,22.7,22.2,22.6,22.4,22.5,22.3,22.6,22.4,22.5,22.3,22.5,22.4]
[0048] Calculation results: mean μ = 22.4, standard deviation σ = 0.15, assuming k = 2; health status threshold range [μ-2σ, μ+2σ] = [22.4-2×0.15, 22.4+2×0.15] = [22.1, 22.7]. Use the trained random forest model to predict the real-time sensor data to obtain the health status score or predicted value. Collect real-time sensor data and input it into the trained random forest model. The model outputs the health status score or predicted value.
[0049] Assume that the real-time collected temperature data is 22.8℃, and the health status score ypred=75 predicted by the random forest model. Calculate the health index of the device based on the output of the model, and set the value range of the health index to 0 to 100. The device health index HI can directly take the predicted value, that is, HI=75.
[0050] If the health index is lower than the threshold of 50, an early warning signal is issued. The health status of the equipment is evaluated based on the health index HI, and corresponding maintenance decisions are made. The real-time temperature data of 22.8℃ exceeds the health status threshold range [22.1, 22.7], indicating that the equipment is abnormal; the health index HI = 75, although it exceeds the health status threshold range, the score is still at a high level, indicating that the equipment is still within an acceptable range, but needs to be monitored and inspected.
[0051] S4: Set the warning condition value according to the prediction result, and the intelligent alarm system performs fault processing according to the warning condition value.
[0052] Preferably, if the vibration sensor data range is [3,7], the equipment is operating within the healthy state range; if the vibration sensor data warning range is (7,8], the equipment state is close to abnormal and a fault will occur, and an early warning is required and an inspection is arranged; if the vibration sensor data fault range is >8, the equipment state is abnormal and a fault will occur, and immediate measures must be taken.

A processor of a computer device reads the computer instruction from the computer-readable storage medium, and the processor executes the computer instruction, so that the computer device executes the method provided in the above various optional implementations.

The above computer-readable medium carries one or more programs, and when the above one or more programs are executed by an electronic device, the electronic device implements the method described in the above embodiment.
