Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of equipment failure analysis, and in particular to a method for intelligent monitoring and fault diagnosis of a power plant based on multi-source data fusion. Background Art

[0002] Traditional power plant monitoring systems mainly rely on data collection and analysis from a single data source, such as temperature sensors, vibration sensors, current and voltage sensors, etc. These systems detect the operating status and fault conditions of equipment through predetermined rules and thresholds. However, as the scale and complexity of power plants increase, monitoring systems with a single data source have gradually exposed their limitations and are difficult to fully and accurately reflect the true operating conditions of equipment. In recent years, multi-source data fusion technology has been introduced into the field of power plant monitoring. By integrating data from different sensors, it can achieve comprehensive perception of the operating status of equipment and fault diagnosis, greatly improving the accuracy and reliability of the monitoring system.

[0003] However, the existing multi-source data fusion technology still has some shortcomings in application. First, the presence of noise and outliers in the data acquisition and preprocessing stages may lead to a decline in data quality, thereby affecting the accuracy of fault diagnosis. Although existing studies have used methods such as wavelet transform for denoising, the computational complexity is high and the real-time performance is poor when processing large-scale, multi-dimensional data. Secondly, in the process of building a data fusion model, the weight distribution problem of each data source is often ignored, resulting in the credibility and importance of the fused data not being effectively reflected. In addition, most of the existing fault diagnosis models rely on preset fault modes and lack the ability to identify and process unknown fault modes. In practical applications, the equipment operating environment is complex and changeable, and the emergence of unknown fault modes is inevitable. Therefore, how to improve the adaptability and dynamic update capability of the fault diagnosis model is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other accompanying drawings can be obtained based on these accompanying drawings without paying creative work.

[0034] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings of the specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary persons in the art without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] Example 1, reference Figure 1 , which is an embodiment of the present invention, provides a power plant intelligent monitoring and fault diagnosis method based on multi-source data fusion, comprising:

[0036] S1: Collect multi-source data and perform preprocessing and data reduction.

[0037] Furthermore, multi-source data collection includes configuring sensors to collect real-time data of power plant equipment operation, obtaining temperature sensor data T(t), vibration sensor data V(t), current data I(t), and voltage data U(t).

[0038] It should be noted that the preprocessing and data reduction include denoising the collected data, eliminating noise and outliers, using wavelet transform to denoise, normalizing the denoised data, storing the preprocessed multi-source data in a centralized database, constructing a high-dimensional data matrix, and organizing the preprocessed multi-source data into a high-dimensional data matrix X, where each row represents a sampling moment and each column represents a type of data, and the constructed high-dimensional data matrix X is reduced using the SVD-POD algorithm.

[0039] S2: Perform data fusion on the reduced-order data and build a fault analysis model.

[0040] Furthermore, data fusion of the reduced-order data includes comprehensive processing of data from different sources to obtain unified fused data, which is expressed as:

[0041]

[0042] Among them, D fusion is the fused data, D i is the i-th source data, w i is the weight of the i-th source data. According to the credibility and importance of each data source, the weight of each data source is calculated and expressed as:

[0043]

[0044] Among them, C i is the credibility of the i-th source data, C j is the credibility of the j-th source data.

[0045] It should be noted that building a fault analysis model includes initializing neural network parameters, defining a loss function and optimizing the neural network, which can be expressed as:

[0046]

[0047] in, is the loss function, m is the number of samples, y i is the actual output label of the i-th sample, h θ ( x i ) is the model’s predicted value for the i-th sample, x (i) is the input feature of the i-th sample, λ is the regularization parameter, θ j is the jth parameter of the model.

[0048] Update the parameters:

[0049]

[0050] Where η is the learning rate. By defining the loss function, the error of model prediction can be accurately evaluated, the model training process can be guided, and the model can be continuously optimized to reach the optimal state. The model parameters are optimized by the gradient descent method, so that the model can quickly converge to the optimal solution. The setting of the learning rate ensures that the step size of each parameter update is reasonable, which not only ensures the convergence speed, but also avoids over-adjustment.

[0051] S3: Perform fault diagnosis output and provide feedback to adjust the model.

[0052] Furthermore, the fault diagnosis output includes inputting the fused data into the fault diagnosis model. If the input data matches the existing data in the database and is identified as a known operating condition and failure mode, the model directly diagnoses and outputs the result. When the input data matches the existing data in the database, it means that the current operating status and failure mode of the equipment have been learned and identified by the model. At this point, the diagnostic model can directly use the trained parameters for fault identification and diagnosis, avoiding complex calculation processes and achieving rapid diagnosis. Since these operating conditions and failure modes have been verified and optimized in the model, the accuracy and reliability of the recognition results are high, which can effectively reduce the probability of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

[0053] If the input data is an unknown working condition, but matches an existing fault mode, the unknown working condition but known fault mode is identified and supplementary data is generated through dynamic simulation to update the model parameters. In actual operation, the equipment may encounter new working conditions that were not included in the model training. However, if the failure modes corresponding to these new working conditions have been recorded in the database, it means that the nature of the fault has not changed. At this time, by generating supplementary data through dynamic simulation, the operating status of the equipment under the new working condition can be simulated, which helps to update the model parameters and enable the model to adapt to the new environment. This mechanism ensures that the model can continue to learn and optimize, and continuously improve its adaptability and diagnostic accuracy. This adaptive learning capability enables the diagnostic system to maintain efficient diagnostic performance in the face of changing working conditions.

[0054] If the input data is an unknown operating condition and an unknown failure mode, an alarm is issued to the operation and maintenance personnel to identify it as an unexpected risk. When the system cannot match any known operating conditions and failure modes, it means that the equipment may have encountered an unexpected operating state or a new failure mode. At this time, by issuing an alarm to the operation and maintenance personnel, they can be reminded in time to pay attention and take preventive measures to avoid possible further damage or shutdown of the equipment. The security of the system is greatly improved, ensuring that the operation and maintenance personnel can be informed of the abnormal status of the equipment and handle it at the first time, thereby reducing risks, ensuring the safety and stability of the equipment and production process, and avoiding excessive erroneous intelligent adjustments that cause the equipment status to be out of control.

[0055] It should be noted that the feedback adjustment model includes transmitting the update signal back to the fault diagnosis model when the input data is unknown data, performing parameter optimization and model updating, which can be expressed as:

[0056] The feedback adjustment model includes transmitting the update signal back to the fault diagnosis model for parameter optimization and model update when the input data is unknown data, which can be expressed as:

[0057]

[0058] in, is the gradient of the loss function with respect to the neural network parameters, x new,i is the new working condition data, h θ=1 ( x new ) For the model to respond to new input data x new The predicted output, y new,i For the new input data x new,iThe actual target value of K is K, and K is the number of new input data. Gradient descent is a classic optimization algorithm that finds the optimal solution of the function by continuously adjusting parameters to gradually reduce the loss function. The introduction of new data error terms allows the model to make corresponding adjustments when facing new data, improves the adaptability and generalization ability of the model, and ensures that the model is constantly exposed to new data and working conditions during training, avoiding over-reliance on existing data, thereby improving the diversity and robustness of the model. In the process of model optimization, the adjustment of model parameters is guided by calculating the gradients of the loss function and the feedback function. The calculation of the gradient reflects the error of the current model under different data inputs, so that parameter optimization can be performed accurately. By introducing new working condition data into the feedback function, the system can generate supplementary data for new failure modes and dynamically adjust model parameters. This mechanism ensures that the system can cope with unknown working conditions and failure modes.

[0059] Example 2, an embodiment of the present invention, provides a method for intelligent monitoring and fault diagnosis of power plants based on multi-source data fusion. In order to verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, scientific demonstration is carried out through economic benefit calculation and simulation experiments.

[0060] First, the experimental objects are the key equipment of a power plant, including the main engine, pumps, fans and generators. During the experiment, these equipment were tested in the whole process of multi-source data acquisition, preprocessing and data reduction, data fusion, fault analysis model construction, fault diagnosis output and feedback adjustment model.

[0061]

[0062]

[0063] The temperature of the host machine fluctuated greatly during the experiment, but through denoising and order reduction processing, the fused data obtained can better reflect the true state of the equipment, and the diagnostic results are more reliable. In traditional methods, noise and outliers often lead to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. In the experimental data, the pump was diagnosed as a fault state many times. The model was adjusted through feedback and the parameters were continuously optimized to ensure the accuracy of the diagnosis. Traditional methods are often difficult to adapt quickly when faced with dynamically changing working conditions. The method of the present invention achieves rapid adaptation to unknown working conditions through a dynamic feedback mechanism, significantly improving the real-time and accuracy of fault diagnosis. Overall, through multi-source data fusion and neural network optimization, the present invention shows significant advantages in the accuracy, real-time and adaptability of fault diagnosis.
