[0002] The field of power grid operation and maintenance technology focuses on maintaining and improving the reliability, safety and efficiency of the power system. It includes multiple aspects such as monitoring, maintenance, upgrading and management of the power grid. By using advanced monitoring systems, such as smart sensors, automated control systems and data analysis tools, failures can be predicted and prevented to ensure the continuity and safety of power supply. Power grid operation and maintenance also involves disaster response plans, asset management, and the renewal or replacement of aging infrastructure, helping the operation and maintenance team to effectively manage daily operations and respond to emergencies, thereby optimizing power grid performance and reducing power outages.

Despite covering multiple aspects of monitoring and management, traditional methods still rely on manual inspections and reactive processing, which often leads to untimely responses when dealing with line aging or emergencies. For example, for line damage or equipment failure, traditional monitoring can only diagnose after the failure occurs, missing the best time for prevention and early intervention. In addition, existing technologies are also insufficient in flexibility and adaptability. In particular, in the face of extreme weather or environmental changes, conventional asset management and disaster response plans are difficult to adjust in real time, affecting the operational efficiency and safety of the power grid.

[0069] See also Figure 2 , the steps to obtain acoustic anomaly indicators are:

[0070] Deploy acoustic sensors on power equipment in the distribution network to collect sound signals during operation, convert them into electronic data, and generate raw sound signal data sets;

[0071] The installation of acoustic sensors in power equipment in the distribution network is, first of all, the key is to choose the right sensor. The sensor should be able to cover the low-frequency and high-frequency ranges that cannot be captured by the human ear to ensure that all relevant sound wave signals can be recorded; secondly, determine the best installation location of the sensor, which is usually located in the sound source activity area of ​​the power equipment, such as the cooling system of the transformer or near the operating mechanism of the circuit breaker. The choice of installation location depends on the previous sound field distribution test, which involves testing the sound intensity and quality at different locations to determine where the sound of the equipment can be most effectively captured when it is running; next, fix and adjust the sensor to ensure that its sensitivity to sound and response time meet the monitoring requirements, including adjusting its direction and sensitivity settings to maximize the accuracy and integrity of the received signal; finally, conduct field tests to verify the performance of the sensor and confirm that it can accurately capture sound data in the actual operating environment. The data is transmitted via wired or wireless means for subsequent analysis and processing to generate the original sound signal data set.

[0072] Perform Fourier transform on the original sound signal data set and convert the time domain signal into the frequency domain signal using the formula:

[0073] ;

[0074] Calculate the frequency domain signal value of the sound , generate a frequency feature data set, where Representative time The signal strength value at is a frequency variable;

[0075] Consider a specific sound signal, e.g. , where the frequency Hz, which means a cosine wave with a fundamental frequency of 100 Hz. Applying the Fourier transform formula to this signal, we can calculate to The integral of this time interval of seconds, because the sound signal is periodic, calculating one cycle can get the spectrum representing the entire signal.

[0076] Will Substitute into the formula and integrate:

[0077]

[0078] Select during calculation Hz to observe the response at the fundamental frequency of the signal:

[0079]

[0080] Using Euler's formula , the above expression can be simplified and the real part calculated:

[0081]

[0082]

[0083]

[0084] The integral calculation yields:

[0085]

[0086] The results show that at a frequency of 100 Hz, the amplitude of the spectrum is 0.5, indicating that this frequency is a significant component in the signal. The results verify the existence of the signal at the fundamental frequency. For acoustic analysis, it shows that the frequency feature data set can accurately reflect the acoustic characteristics of the equipment and can be used to detect whether the equipment is operating normally or whether there are potential faults.

[0087] Based on the frequency feature data set, a comparative analysis is performed with the standard sound patterns in the normal database to identify frequency changes and abnormal patterns and obtain acoustic anomaly indicators;

[0088] Comparing and analyzing the collected frequency feature data set with the sound patterns stored in the normal database is a detailed process. First, the frequency data needs to be transmitted from the sensor collection system to the main data processing center. Next, the frequency patterns of known normal operating sounds are extracted from the normal database. The patterns are derived from long-term monitoring and historical data analysis and are used as a benchmark for comparison; then data matching is performed, such as cross-correlation analysis, to compare the actual frequency data with the standard patterns in the database one by one to detect frequency deviations and anomalies; for each abnormal frequency point detected, its manifestation in the sound data, such as amplitude, duration and frequency of occurrence, is further analyzed to evaluate whether the anomaly is related to potential equipment failure or performance degradation; finally, an acoustic anomaly indicator is generated, reflecting the current health status of the equipment and possible maintenance needs.

[0089] See also Figure 3 , the steps for identifying abnormal temperature hot spots are:

[0090] Deploy thermal imaging cameras to scan the power lines and power equipment of the distribution network, collect real-time temperature readings of each part of the power equipment, and generate an initial temperature data set for the equipment surface;

[0091] Before collecting data on the surface temperature of the equipment, it is first necessary to configure the scanning parameters of the thermal imaging camera according to the specific environment and operating status of the power lines and power equipment, including adjusting the camera's focal length, sensitivity and scanning speed to ensure that various temperature anomalies in the operation of the equipment can be captured. In addition, by setting different scanning areas and paths, every corner of the power equipment can be covered so as not to miss any potential hot spots. Subsequently, the camera will automatically start scanning at the set time interval and transmit the captured thermal image data in real time. The data includes the coordinates of each measurement point and the corresponding temperature value. The temperature data is sent to the central processing unit through the real-time data transmission system to generate a preliminary equipment surface temperature data set as the basis for subsequent analysis.

[0092] The initial surface temperature data set of the equipment is compared point by point with the normal temperature standard, using the formula:

[0093] ;

[0094] Calculate the coordinates of each point Temperature deviation , and obtain the temperature deviation data set, where is the measured temperature value, is the normal temperature standard value of the coordinate;

[0095] Indicates the actual measured temperature, assuming it is 350 degrees Celsius, is the normal standard temperature of the location, assuming it is 300 degrees Celsius, and is calculated by substituting it into the formula:

[0096]

[0097] The calculation results show that the temperature deviation is 50 degrees Celsius, indicating that the temperature at this point is higher than normal and requires further analysis and attention to obtain a temperature deviation data set.

[0098] Analyze the temperature deviation data set and identify deviation values ​​exceeding the set threshold The area is determined and marked as a temperature abnormality hotspot area, and the temperature abnormality hotspot data is obtained;

[0099] After collecting the temperature deviation data, further data analysis is performed to identify abnormal temperature hotspots. In this process, the data clustering analysis method is used to divide the temperature data into multiple categories through the clustering algorithm. The categories are distinguished according to the size of the temperature deviation. Each category represents a temperature condition. For those temperature deviations exceeding the set threshold, The system identifies areas where potential faults or risks exist and marks them as abnormal. The thresholds set here are determined based on historical data and equipment operation standards. All areas marked as abnormal are then summarized to form a list of all abnormal temperature hotspots, which is convenient for the maintenance team to conduct subsequent inspections and repairs.

[0100] See also Figure 4 ,The steps for obtaining the thermal imaging abnormal position record are:

[0101] Synchronize temperature anomaly hotspot data and acoustic anomaly indicators, perform spatial and temporal alignment, confirm the consistency of timestamp and location coordinates of each temperature anomaly point, and generate a synchronized multi-source data set;

[0102] When synchronizing acoustic anomaly indicators and temperature anomaly data, we first extract the timestamps and spatial coordinates of the two sensor data through an automated data processing script, and then use the time series analysis in the database management system to ensure the consistency of the acoustic data and temperature data on the time axis. The process includes correcting time deviations and data lags. At the same time, spatial alignment is performed to ensure that the geocoding of each piece of data matches accurately, and the data is calibrated through the geographic information system (GIS). Finally, the data that has been synchronized in time and space will be integrated into a unified multi-source data platform to provide more accurate data support for identifying potential anomalies.

[0103] Based on the synchronous multi-source data set, the abnormal frequency is extracted and compared with the temperature abnormal points, using the formula:

[0104] ;

[0105] Calculate the correlation between acoustic anomalies and temperature anomalies , evaluate the matching degree and obtain the abnormal matching data set, where Representing coordinates Acoustic anomaly indicators on is the temperature anomaly index at the same coordinate;

[0106] Assuming a specific location Acoustic anomaly indicators is 0.75, and the corresponding temperature anomaly index is 0.45. Substitute the value into the formula to calculate:

[0107]

[0108] Calculation results It indicates that the correlation between acoustic anomalies and temperature anomalies at this location is low, and the value 0.3 indicates a small difference, indicating that although there are certain differences, such differences are not significant, indicating that the sources of the anomalies are the same or related to each other.

[0109] Analyze the anomaly matching data set, determine all areas where acoustic and temperature anomalies match, mark them as actual anomaly areas, locate the actual position of each anomaly area, and generate thermal imaging anomaly position records;

[0110] After confirming the correlation between acoustic anomalies and temperature anomalies, the next task is to convert these data into practical and actionable information. First, all matching points identified as anomalies will be entered into the geographic information system. This system is equipped with an automated geographic tagging tool that can accurately mark the location of each anomaly point on the map; then, using the analysis function of GIS, the distribution pattern and potential correlation of the anomaly area are further analyzed to provide specific navigation information for the maintenance team. Finally, a detailed anomaly location report is generated, which not only lists the specific coordinates of all anomaly areas, but also includes the intensity of the related anomalies and the possible impact range.

[0111] See also Figure 5 , the steps to determine the damage mode of power equipment performance degradation are:

[0112] Using acoustic anomaly indicators and thermal imaging anomaly location records, data integration is performed to synchronize timestamps and geographic information tags, establish temporal and spatial associations, and obtain a comprehensive data set;

[0113] The data integration process starts with collecting the raw data output by the sensors, which are collected in real time by sensors distributed in key parts of the equipment. The sensors can capture sound wave fluctuations ranging from weak to strong. At the same time, the thermal imaging camera captures the thermal image of the equipment at preset time intervals. The image is saved with high resolution and marked with timestamps. Data integration is performed in a central processing unit that runs custom software to automatically align acoustic and thermal map data based on timestamps and geotags to ensure perfect synchronization of the two types of data. The integrated data is further analyzed through complex data fusion algorithms, including data cleaning and preliminary anomaly identification, to eliminate environmental noise and thermal changes not related to equipment failures, providing an accurate and clean data set for subsequent in-depth analysis.

[0114] The comprehensive data set was analyzed to calculate the standard deviation and the range of deviation between data points using the formula:

[0115] ;

[0116] Calculate variance analysis values , generate abnormal difference analysis results, where, represents the value of each data point in the synthetic dataset, represents the average value of the comprehensive data set, represents the total number of data points, represents the standard deviation of the data point values, Represents the deviation range value of the data point value;

[0117] Assumptions Represents the value of each data point in the comprehensive data set, such as {15, 20, 22, 21, 19}. Calculate the average of these data , by adding up all the data values ​​and dividing by the number of data points:

[0118]

[0119] Total number of data points is 5.

[0120] Standard Deviation It is a statistical indicator to measure the degree of dispersion of data. First, the square of the difference between each data point and the mean is calculated, then the average is calculated, and finally the square root is taken:

[0121]

[0122] Deviation range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values ​​in the data:

[0123]

[0124] Substitute these values ​​into the original formula to calculate:

[0125]

[0126]

[0127]

[0128] The results show that the difference analysis value in the comprehensive data set is 2.378, indicating that there is a large degree of anomaly in the data set. The normalization of the data and the calculation of the normalized deviation range provide a quantitative indicator for evaluating the degree of anomaly of acoustic and thermal imaging data under different environmental conditions. The high value indicates that there are some abnormal events or signs of equipment performance degradation in the collected data, and further analysis is needed on the specific impact of these anomalies on the performance of power equipment in order to take appropriate maintenance or repair measures.

[0129] Analyze the abnormal difference analysis results, combine the equipment historical fault data and performance parameters, analyze the probability of equipment damage mode, and obtain the power equipment performance degradation damage mode data;

[0130] After obtaining the data processed by the differential analysis, damage mode prediction is performed by combining the historical failure records and current performance parameters of the equipment. This process involves comparing the current analysis results with the historical failure modes stored in the database. The specific operation is to filter out historical failure data through advanced query statements, which include information such as failure time, failure type and its duration. Then, the data is combined with machine learning technology to build a prediction model to estimate the probability of different failure modes. In the model building process, the first thing to do is feature selection to ensure that the data input to the model are key variables that affect the failure mode. Next, statistical methods are used to evaluate the weights of different features, such as decision tree analysis, which can reveal which parameters can best explain the changes in failure modes. Finally, these models are applied to perform real-time data analysis to predict possible future failures and evaluate their possible impacts, so that measures can be taken in advance to avoid or mitigate the impact of failures.

[0131] See also Figure 6 , the steps for issuing fault warning signals are:

[0132] Based on the power equipment performance degradation damage mode data, it is compared with known fault records, and fault instances with similar characteristics are screened to generate a matching result list;

[0133] After calling the power equipment performance degradation damage mode data, the feature vector of each historical fault record is first extracted, including the fault type, frequency of occurrence, affected system components, and environmental conditions. At the same time, similar feature vectors are extracted from the sensor data of the current equipment. The features include data collected from acoustic and thermal imaging sensors, which reflect the operating status of the equipment and any initial signs of abnormalities. The feature matching process is completed by calculating the Euclidean distance between the historical fault feature vector and the current fault feature vector. Each matching score is based on the inverse of the distance, and the higher the score, the higher the similarity. The system automatically arranges the matching results according to the score and displays the most relevant fault records on the user interface for further analysis.

[0134] Analyze the matching result list, analyze the relationship between the matched fault mode and the current operating parameters, reveal the inherent connection between the faults under different operating conditions, determine the fault causes, and generate a fault cause analysis report;

[0135] After obtaining a list of matching results, further fault cause analysis is performed by combining historical data of the fault. This analysis does not rely solely on a single fault instance, but clusters all fault instances with similar characteristics to form statistically significant fault categories. For example, if a certain type of fault frequently occurs under specific temperature and humidity conditions, the condition will be identified as a key factor in the fault triggering. An in-depth analysis of each type of fault is performed, using data visualization tools such as scatter plots and heat maps to display the conditions and frequency of the fault occurrence, helping technicians identify which operating parameters need to be adjusted to prevent future failures. In addition, by comparing the occurrence patterns of faults in different time periods, the trend of equipment performance degradation can be identified, providing decision support for equipment maintenance and updates.

[0136] Based on the fault cause analysis report, the fault data is combined with the geographic coordinates to visualize the affected area, classify the area into risk levels, and issue a fault warning signal;

[0137] Using a geographic information system (GIS) to divide and visualize risk areas, first extract the geographic location data related to the fault from the database, which indicates the exact location of each fault. Then conduct a risk assessment, analyze the fault history and severity of each location, and automatically classify the risk level of each location according to the set standards. The calculation of the risk level takes into account the frequency of the fault, the severity of the impact, and the difficulty of fault recovery. After that, the risk data is converted into a visual layer and superimposed on the map. Each risk level is represented by a different color, allowing the maintenance team to see the high-risk areas at a glance. In addition, when the data in the risk area is updated or changed, the GIS system automatically updates the view and sends alarms to the monitoring center and mobile terminals in real time through the network, so that the response team can respond.

[0138] See also Figure 7 , the steps to obtain the patrol path optimization solution are:

[0139] Receive fault warning signals, extract fault location information, mark risk areas as key inspection areas, and generate fault location marking results;

[0140] Receiving fault warning signals is a highly automated process involving real-time data monitoring and analysis. First, the fault location information is extracted, each risk area is recorded, and the data is transmitted to the central processing unit in real time. The received data is processed immediately. For the identified risk areas, they are marked as key inspection areas. At the same time, the system will immediately mark them and evaluate their potential risk levels. This process ensures the accuracy of monitoring and the timeliness of response, and generates fault location marking results.

[0141] Based on the fault location marking results, dynamic path planning is performed to ensure that all key inspection areas are covered using the formula:

[0142] ;

[0143] Calculate the total length of the inspection path , generate the optimal inspection route, where represents the number of points in the path, Representative The coordinates of the points, Representative The coordinates of the points;

[0144] Consider a practical example where there are four inspection points with coordinates (2, 3), (5, 7), (8, 2), and (10, 5).

[0145] First, calculate the distance from the first point to the second point:

[0146]

[0147] Next, calculate the distance from the second point to the third point:

[0148]

[0149] Then, calculate the distance from the third point to the fourth point:

[0150]

[0151] Add these distances together to get the total route length:

[0152]

[0153] The calculated result 14.44 units represents the total inspection path length, which is the physical distance to ensure that the inspection robot or personnel covers all key areas. By optimizing this path length, the efficiency of the inspection process and the completeness of coverage can be ensured, resource consumption can be reduced, and the timeliness of the inspection can be improved. The value is extremely critical in actual inspection route planning because it is directly related to the economic cost and time management of the inspection task.

[0154] According to the inspection planning route, the route is visualized to maximize the inspection efficiency. In combination with environmental factors, an optimization plan for the inspection route is formulated and output;

[0155] Based on the planned inspection route, a detailed inspection route optimization plan is formulated. The process starts with route planning. Through GIS (geographic information system) technology, the optimized route is visualized. This representation not only includes the direction and length of the route, but also the coordinates and turning angles of each turning point. Through simulation operation tests, the impact of various environmental factors on inspection efficiency, such as terrain, weather conditions, etc., is evaluated. At the same time, the system dynamically adjusts the route through algorithms to adapt to emergencies, such as temporary obstacles or the expansion of the fault area. Each optimized route will undergo a cost-benefit analysis to ensure that the path is not only safe but also economical.
