[0030] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0031] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present application more obvious and understandable, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0032] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a transformer fault active warning method based on multi-parameter comprehensive analysis is provided, including the following steps 101 to 106.

[0033] Step 101, obtain the signal measurement values of various sensors in the fault judgment group; the fault judgment group includes a leakage magnetic sensor, a flow velocity sensor, and a pressure sensor installed on the transformer.

[0034] Step 102, when the signal measurement values of various sensors in the fault judgment group meet the first warning condition, determine that the transformer is a breakdown fault transformer and cut off the breakdown fault transformer; otherwise, execute the following steps 103 - 106.

[0035] Step 103, obtain the signal sequences of various sensors in the pre-fault warning group; the pre-fault warning group includes a high-frequency current sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, and a partial discharge UHF sensor installed on the transformer.

[0036] Step 104, use the sliding window method to divide the signal sequences of the high-frequency current sensor and the partial discharge UHF sensor respectively, and calculate the growth rates of each primary characteristic parameter of each window of the high-frequency current sensor and the growth rates of each primary characteristic parameter of each window of the partial discharge UHF sensor to form a growth rate set.

[0037] Step 105, when the growth rate set meets the development stage warning condition, use the sliding window method to divide the signal sequences of various sensors in the pre-fault warning group respectively, and calculate the secondary characteristic parameters of each window of various sensors in the pre-fault warning group.

[0038] Step 106, when the secondary characteristic parameters of any window of various sensors in the pre-fault warning group all meet the second warning condition, determine that the transformer is a breakdown risk transformer and cut off the breakdown risk transformer; otherwise, according to the signal sequences of various sensors in the pre-fault warning group, use the time series weight decision tree model to determine the discharge development stage of the transformer.

[0039] Implementing the above steps 101 - 106 can achieve phased warning and timely cutting off of transformer faults. For different discharge development stages, different judgment methods are adopted to improve the hierarchy, timeliness, and accuracy of fault detection.

[0040] The action criterion of the effective pressure action quantity protection uses the pressure information of multiple measuring points under the conditions of normal operation, internal short-circuit fault, and external short-circuit fault of the transformer as characteristic quantities. The action value of the measured point pressure is generally 4 - 5 kPa. For small-turn short circuits, the transformer protection based on effective pressure information can identify and act within hundreds or even dozens of milliseconds, while for large-turn short circuits, the protection device can act within 20 ms to 30 ms. At the same time, this protection method can distinguish between external short-circuit faults and internal short-circuit faults, and its protection criterion is not affected by other internal faults such as overheating faults, with high reliability.

[0041] The oil flow rate is usually applied in the process of judging the operation of the heavy gas. Further, the oil flow rate setting value of the traditional heavy gas protection is 1 - 1.5 m / s.

[0042] When a breakdown fault occurs inside the transformer, causing a short circuit, it will lead to the distortion of the leakage magnetic field distribution inside the transformer.

[0043] In the embodiments of the present application, the high-frequency current sensor, ultrasonic sensor, and partial discharge UHF sensor installed on the transformer are set as the pre-fault warning group, and the leakage magnetic field sensor, flow rate sensor, and pressure sensor installed on the transformer are set as the fault judgment group to comprehensively monitor the transformer fault.

[0044] In another exemplary embodiment, the following settings need to be made before step 101 above.

[0045] Install high-frequency current, ultrasonic, partial discharge UHF, leakage magnetic field, flow rate, and pressure sensors on the transformer. Among them, the high-frequency current, ultrasonic, and partial discharge UHF sensors are classified into the pre-fault warning group, and the leakage magnetic field, flow rate, and pressure sensors are classified into the post-fault severity judgment group, that is, the fault judgment group, to collect the signals during the operation of the transformer in real time.

[0046] In this embodiment, the selected high-frequency current sensor, ultrasonic sensor, partial discharge UHF sensor, flow rate sensor, and pressure sensor are all optical sensors, and the transformer used for testing is a 110 kV full-scale transformer. The installation positions of the sensors are as follows: the high-frequency current sensor is installed on the bushing end shield, the ultrasonic sensor is installed on the top of the oil tank, the partial discharge UHF sensor is installed at the handhole position, the flow rate sensor is installed above the winding, and the pressure sensor is installed at the position facing the tank wall between the two-phase windings. After the installation is completed, all sensors are started.

[0047] In another exemplary embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, in steps 101 - 106 above, if the signal measurement values of various sensors in the fault judgment group meet the first warning condition, it is determined that the transformer has a breakdown fault, and the breakdown fault transformer is promptly cut off; if not all exceed the threshold, but both the high-frequency current and partial discharge UHF sensors have a primary characteristic parameter with an absolute value of growth rate greater than or equal to 20%, then further judge the secondary characteristic parameters of each sensor in the pre-fault warning group. If the second warning condition is met, it is determined that the transformer has a breakdown risk, and the breakdown risk transformer is cut off. If the second warning condition is not met, the discharge development stage of the transformer is determined by using the time series weight decision tree model according to the signal sequence of various sensors in the pre-fault warning group; if the growth rate of all signals in the pre-fault warning group is less than 20%, it is determined that it is interference signal, and continue to monitor the leakage magnetic field, pressure, and flow rate signals of the transformer.

[0048] In another exemplary embodiment, in step 104 above, the pre-fault warning group sensor signals are divided by the sliding window method, and the primary characteristic parameters within each window of the high-frequency current and partial discharge UHF signals are calculated. If there are primary characteristic parameters with an absolute value of the growth rate greater than 20% in both signals, the pre-fault warning group signals are normalized by exponential moving average (EMA) and the secondary characteristic calculation is performed (i.e., step 105 is executed); otherwise, the signals are continuously monitored.

[0049] The transformer collects sound, high-frequency current, and partial discharge UHF signals through sensors, and uses the sliding window partitioning technique to partition the signals according to time. The window duration is set to T seconds, and the sliding step is t seconds. The signals within the window are demodulated and the signal information is statistically analyzed to obtain the frequency-current amplitude information corresponding to the sound signal within the window, and the phase-voltage amplitude information corresponding to the high-frequency current and partial discharge UHF signals.

[0050] The signals within the windows of the high-frequency current and partial discharge UHF sensors are preliminarily processed to obtain the primary characteristic parameters of the high-frequency current and partial discharge UHF sensors.

[0051] Among them, the amplitude average value and the window phase width of the high-frequency current and partial discharge UHF signals are calculated.

[0052] The calculation formula for the amplitude average value is shown as follows.

[0053] .

[0054] Among them, is the amplitude average value of the signals of the type sensor within the th window, is the amplitude of the type sensor at the th data point within the th window. When takes 0, the type sensor is the high-frequency current sensor; when takes 1, the

[0055] type sensor is the UHF sensor; i is the data point number obtained by sampling within the window, i = 1, 2, 3, …, I; I is the number of data points within the window.

[0056] .

[0057] Among them, is the type sensor within the The window phase width within a window is the maximum phase point at which the signal of the th type of sensor is located within the th window, and is the minimum phase point at which the signal of the th type of sensor is located within the

[0058] The formula for calculating the growth rate of the average amplitude and window phase width of two adjacent windows is as follows.

[0059] .

[0060] .

[0061] Among them, is the growth rate of the average amplitude of the th type of sensor in the th window, is the average amplitude of the signal of the th type of sensor within the th window, is the growth rate of the window phase width of the th type of sensor in the th window, is the window phase width of the th type of sensor within the th window.

[0062] For example, for a partial discharge UHF sensor, the average amplitudes of two consecutive windows are 0.54V and 0.98V respectively, and the growth rate is 81.48%. The phase widths are 102° and 198° respectively, and the growth rate is 94.12%. For a high-frequency current sensor, the characteristic amplitudes of two consecutive windows are 0.025A and 0.017A respectively, and the growth rate is -32%. The phase widths are 217° and 270° respectively, and the growth rate is 24.42%.

[0063] The exponential moving average (EMA) is used to normalize the signal characteristic parameters and calculate the normalized characteristic values.

[0064] The signal amplitudes of I consecutive data points within the latest window are obtained in real time, and the quantization index of the current moment is calculated as shown in the following formula.

[0065] .

[0066] Among them, and are the quantization indices of the data within window n and the data within the previous window n - 1 respectively, It is the secondary characteristic parameter of the data within the current window n. is the smoothing constant, which is between 0 and 1. Generally, it takes values from 0.1 to 0.3. In this embodiment, it takes 0.1.

[0067] For the UHF signal of partial discharge, the secondary characteristic parameter is the kurtosis of the maximum amplitude, and the calculation formula is shown as follows.

[0068] .

[0069] Among them, is the kurtosis of the maximum amplitude, is the amplitude of the i-th data point within the window, is the average value of the amplitudes of each data point within the window, is the number of data points within the window.

[0070] For the high-frequency current signal, the secondary characteristic value is the slope of the maximum amplitude, and the calculation formula is shown as follows.

[0071] .

[0072] Among them, is the slope of the maximum amplitude.

[0073] For the ultrasonic signal, the secondary characteristic value is the amplitude peak coefficient, and the calculation formula is shown as follows.

[0074] .

[0075] Among them, is the amplitude peak coefficient, is the maximum amplitude within the window, is the root mean square of the signal amplitudes within the window.

[0076] When setting the threshold interval in the stage approaching breakdown, the peak threshold interval of the UHF signal of partial discharge is 0.638 - 1, the slope threshold interval of the high-frequency current signal is 0 - 0.238, and the peak coefficient threshold interval of the ultrasonic signal is 0.803 - 1.

[0077] In this embodiment, based on a large number of experimental results, the thresholds set for the three sensors are respectively: the upper limit of the peak threshold of the UHF signal of partial discharge is 0.6, the lower limit of the slope threshold of the high-frequency current signal is 0.25, and the upper limit of the peak coefficient threshold of the ultrasonic signal is 0.8. To more clearly illustrate the change trend of the EMA calculation results of the signal characteristic values in each fault development stage, the data of a certain test set (the calculation results of the entire fault development stage) are selected for illustration, as Figures 4 - 6 shown, Figures 4 - 6They are respectively the calculation results of the peak EMA of the partial discharge UHF signal, the skewness EMA of the high-frequency current signal, and the peak coefficient EMA of the acoustic signal.

[0078] Exemplarily, select the latest time window, calculate the kurtosis of the partial discharge UHF signal, the maximum amplitude skewness of the high-frequency current signal, and the peak coefficient of the ultrasonic signal. The calculation results are 0.12, 0.63, and 0.03 respectively, all of which do not exceed the set threshold. Therefore, combine the high-frequency current, the amplitude and phase information of the partial discharge UHF signal, and the amplitude and frequency information of the ultrasonic signal within the latest time window into a feature vector.

[0079] In another exemplary embodiment, in step 106 above, if all the secondary characteristic parameters of the signals of various sensors in the pre-fault warning group are within the set threshold range, it is determined as the stage approaching breakdown (that is, it is determined that the transformer is a transformer at breakdown risk) and an alarm is issued. At the same time, cut off the transformer at breakdown risk. Otherwise, use the time series weight gradient decision tree model to calculate the probability of the discharge development stage of each signal in the pre-fault warning group, use the entropy weight method to allocate the signal addition weights, select the stage with the highest probability as the judgment result, and issue an alarm prompt, and continue to monitor the signals.

[0080] This application proposes a recursive multi-class fault diagnosis overall framework, and constructs a transformer fault diagnosis method based on the gradient boosting decision tree in the overall framework.

[0081] In another exemplary embodiment, in step 106 above, during the fault development stage, the numerical differences of the characteristic signals are not very obvious and there are fluctuations. At the same time, there will also be a silent period, which makes it difficult to accurately identify based on the conventional threshold method. However, through the measured values, it can be found that there are differences in the amplitudes, corresponding phases and frequency information of different signal development stages. Therefore, an algorithm can be used to identify this part of the signals to more accurately determine the fault state.

[0082] If no secondary characteristic parameter of any sensor signal in the pre-fault warning group exceeds the set threshold, that is, the second warning condition is not met, then convert the amplitude, phase or amplitude, frequency information of each sensor signal into a feature vector. Within one time window, the feature vectors of the partial discharge UHF signal, the high-frequency current signal, and the acoustic signal are as follows.

[0083] 。

[0084] 。

[0085] 。

[0086] Among them, U represents the UHF signal of partial discharge; H represents the high-frequency current signal; A represents the acoustic signal; y is the development stage of the signal, y ∈ {1, 2, 3}. When y = 1, the signal is in the discharge initiation stage. When y = 2, the signal is in the severe stage. When y = 3, the signal is in the silent stage. N is the number of windows. In the embodiment of the present application, the discharge development stage is divided into the discharge initiation stage, the severe stage, and the silent stage.

[0087] For the UHF signal of partial discharge and the high-frequency current signal, the maximum value of the signal amplitude and the maximum value of the phase shift within the window are selected as the signal characteristics of the window. The specific calculation formula is shown as follows.

[0088] 。

[0089] Among them, is the maximum value of the phase shift of the UHF signal of partial discharge within window n, is the phase of the i-th data point of the UHF signal of partial discharge within window n, and I is the number of data points within the window.

[0090] 。

[0096] For the acoustic signal, the maximum value of the signal amplitude within the window and its corresponding phase are selected as the signal characteristics of the window.

[0097] 。

[0098] 。

[0099] Among them, is the amplitude of the i-th data point of the acoustic signal within window n, is the maximum amplitude of the acoustic signal within window n, is the phase of the i-th data point of the acoustic signal within window n, is the maximum phase of the acoustic signal within window n.

[0100] In another exemplary embodiment, time dimension information and a time decay function are introduced to balance the timeliness of features.

[0101] The time dimension is represented by the sampling interval to capture the degree of dynamic change of features and provide a basis for subsequent weight calculation. For samples that are far from the current time, weaken their influence on the final result. After adding the time weight, the calculated probability distribution is smoother than that without adding it.

[0102] The formula for calculating the basic time weight is shown as follows.

[0103] .

[0104] Where, is the basic time weight at time t, is the time decay factor; is the difference between the sample time and the current time.

[0105] For the input signal, calculate the basic time weight corresponding to the window it contains, and calculate the average time weight of the same type of signal .

[0106] .

[0107] Where, m is the type of sensor, that is, the signal type, y is the stage where the signal is located, is the number of samples in the signal of the m-th type of sensor that are in the discharge development stage y, is the basic time weight at time t of the samples in the signal of the m-th type of sensor that are in the discharge development stage y.

[0108] Establish a prediction model: .

[0110] Input the initial prediction model: ; where, is the initial prediction model.

[0111] Sample initialization probability distribution: .

[0112] Among them, is the distribution probability of each sample in the k-th training process, , and are the probabilities that each sample belongs to the first, second, and third prediction results in the k-th training process, respectively.

[0113] Calculate the negative gradient before prediction , as the learning target of the new decision tree, ; among them, is the actual probability of the sample. When the sample belongs to category 2, is [0, 1, 0].

[0114] Arrange the signals of the same type in a group of signals in ascending order, calculate the median value of the two data as the splitting point. Taking the maximum value of the amplitude of the partial discharge UHF signal as an example, the calculation formula of this splitting point is shown as follows.

[0115] .

[0116] Among them, is the splitting point vector of the maximum value of the amplitude of the partial discharge UHF signal, N is the number of windows, , , , and are the maximum values of the amplitude of the partial discharge UHF signal in windows 1, 2, 3, N - 1, and N, respectively.

[0117] Calculate the gain and set the gain threshold. Select the splitting point with the maximum gain during each split. If the gain is greater than the threshold, continue to split; otherwise, stop splitting. When the gains are the same, preferentially select the smaller value.

[0118] .

[0119] .

[0120] Among them, is the gain, represents the information entropy of the sample set S of the parent node; |S| is the total number of samples; is the information entropy of the left subtree subset at the splitting point; | | is the number of samples in the left subtree subset; is the information entropy of the right subtree subset at the splitting point; | | is the number of samples in the subset of the right subtree.

[0121] The gain calculation of this application is applied in the growth process of the decision tree to find a balance between model complexity and prediction accuracy. This gain has the same effect as the loss function. Sometimes, even though the loss function is still decreasing, if the gain brought by the split is too small, the split will also stop.

[0122] After selecting the split point, calculate the average negative gradient of the left and right subtrees of the sample split point as the leaf node of the decision tree.

[0123] 。

[0124] 。

[0125] Among them, is the predicted negative gradient of the left subtree of the split point in the (k + 1)-th training, is the predicted negative gradient of the right subtree of the split point in the (k + 1)-th training.

[0126] Input the classification sample, compare it with the decision tree split point, and update the decision tree model using the corresponding leaf node:

[0184] Exemplarily, the specific training process is described in the following embodiments. As Figure 3 shown, it specifically includes the following steps.

[0196] Among them, P1, P2, and P3 are the probabilities of the partial discharge UHF sensor being in the discharge initiation stage, intense period, and silent period respectively.

[0197] Using the formula P = max(P1, P2, P3) = 50.81%, where P is the final judgment result, select the intense period as the final judgment result and issue an alarm.

[0198] To illustrate the differences in the fault amplitude characteristics at different fault development stages, the characteristic statistical results within the three - period time windows after visualizing part of the data in a certain test set are as Figure 7 shown.

[0199] In another exemplary embodiment, step 202 above specifically includes the following steps.

[0200] During the whole process of fault monitoring, after starting the sensor, if the monitored value of any one of the signals of the magnetic flux leakage, pressure, and flow rate sensors in the fault severity judgment group is greater than 0, the signal needs to be further judged, otherwise continuous monitoring is carried out.

[0201] When all three signal sensors exceed the threshold, the fault is judged as the severe fault stage, and this transformer is a breakdown fault transformer, and the breakdown fault transformer is cut off in time.

[0202] Optionally, the upper limit value range of the magnetic flux leakage sensor threshold is 1.5 - 2.0 B / mT, the upper limit value range of the flow rate sensor threshold is 0 - 1 m / s, and the upper limit value range of the pressure sensor threshold is 0 - 2 kPa.

[0203] In this embodiment, the upper limit value range of the magnetic flux leakage sensor threshold is set to 1.5 B / mT, the upper limit value range of the flow rate sensor threshold is 0.1 m / s, and the upper limit value range of the pressure sensor threshold is 0.5 kPa. The measured values of the pressure and flow rate sensors do not exceed the threshold.

[0204] In the method of the above embodiments of the present application, high-frequency current, ultrasonic, partial discharge UHF, leakage magnetic flux, flow rate, and pressure sensors are installed on the transformer, and the sensors are divided into a fault judgment group and a pre-fault warning group. If the signal measurement values of various sensors in the fault judgment group do not meet the first warning condition, the signals of the sensors in the pre-fault warning group are divided by the sliding window method, and the preliminary characteristic values in each window of the high-frequency current and partial discharge UHF signals are calculated. If there is a primary characteristic parameter with an absolute value of the growth rate greater than 20% in both signals, the signals in the pre-fault warning group are normalized by EMA and the secondary characteristics are calculated. Otherwise, the signals are continuously monitored. If all the secondary characteristic parameters of the signals in the pre-fault warning group are within the set threshold range, it is determined as a transformer with breakdown risk and an alarm is issued. At the same time, the transformer with breakdown risk is disconnected. Otherwise, the probability of the discharge development stage of each signal in the pre-fault warning group is calculated using the time series weighted gradient decision tree model, the signal addition weights are assigned using the entropy weight method, the stage with the highest probability is selected as the judgment result, an alarm prompt is issued, and the signals are continuously monitored.

[0205] Through comprehensive judgment of multiple sensors and algorithm analysis, this method realizes phased early warning and timely disconnection of transformer faults. For different discharge development stages, different judgment methods are adopted, which improves the hierarchy, timeliness, and accuracy of fault detection.
