Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of transformers, and in particular to a transformer life prediction method based on digital-analog linkage and gradient descent. Background Art

[0002] The distribution network transformer is the core equipment connecting the distribution network and the user's electricity consumption side. The stable operation of the transformer plays a vital role in the safe and stable operation of the entire power network. At present, the two methods of regular maintenance and post-maintenance are generally used for the distribution network transformers in operation. However, these two methods will cause the problems of "over-maintenance" and "disrepair". On the one hand, it will waste a lot of manpower and material resources. On the other hand, it may cause the transformer to be out of operation unplanned, affecting the stable operation of the power system. Therefore, the prediction of the remaining life of the transformer is a necessary link for the safe and stable operation of the distribution network transformer. At the same time, accurate prediction can effectively extend the life cycle of the distribution network transformer and improve its performance and economic benefits.

[0003] At present, the transformer life prediction technology is mainly divided into two categories: failure physical model method and data-driven method. The failure physical model method is highly dependent on the random degradation model. When the number of devices is large, individual differences will increase the complexity of the model. The data-driven method uses artificial intelligence technology to learn the degradation pattern of the system from existing observation data, but it lacks transparency, the results are difficult to interpret, and it is impossible to characterize the uncertainty of the remaining life distribution during operation. The above two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. In order to solve the shortcomings of model-driven and data-driven, a distribution network transformer remaining life prediction method that optimizes model parameters through data-driven optimization plays a vital role in ensuring the safe and stable operation of distribution network transformers.

[0070] Among them, min(x i,j )、max(x i,j ) are the minimum and maximum values ​​of the performance degradation historical data in the j-th secondary historical data set of the ith distribution network transformer, respectively.

[0071] Step 2: Weighted fusion of various indicators of the preprocessed data set to construct a composite health indicator;

[0072] According to the historical data set of the i-th distribution network transformer, the composite health index Z after integrating multiple secondary data sets i (t) is as follows:

[0073]

[0074] where a j is the weight of the j-th indicator;

[0075] Step 3: Establish a transformer random degradation process model of nonlinear Wiener process;

[0076] The random degradation function of the degradation model is established, and the nonlinear Wiener process modeling of the standard Brownian motion and the composite health index Z of the i-th transformer are considered. i The degradation process of (t) changing with time, the random degradation function of the composite health index is constructed including:

[0077]

[0078] Among them, B(t) is the standard Brownian motion, which reflects the randomness of time changes in the degradation process; θ i , β i , σ i is a model parameter, reflecting the time-varying uncertainty of the degradation process. For the established exponential random degradation model, it is linearized by logarithmic transformation. i (t) represents the logarithmic transformation of the i-th random degradation system at time t, and its formula is:

[0079]

[0080] Let θ' i =lnθ i , The formula is:

[0081] S i (t) = θ′ i +β′ i t+σ i B(t)

[0082] Step 4: The life span and remaining life span prediction is realized by the time when the composite health indicator reaches the failure threshold for the first time at the current moment.

[0083] Define the life value T of the random degradation of the distribution network transformer i , as follows:

[0084] T i = inf{ti :S i (t i )≥b|s i,0 <b}

There are i transformers here, and K of each transformer i Different, K i Represents all sampling points of each transformer.

[0099] Step 6: Use the gradient descent algorithm to optimize the target optimization function and reversely optimize the data set weight coefficients and model parameters:

[0100]

[0101] Where A' is the optimal indicator weight set, b' is the optimal critical threshold; argmin represents the parameter value at which the function achieves the minimum value in its domain.

[0102] In order to solve the complexity of the target optimization function, the gradient descent algorithm is used to optimize the target function, and its parameter update process is expressed in an iterative way as follows:

[0103]

[0104] Where γ represents the parameters (A, b) to be updated, η represents the learning rate, and r represents the iteration step. The iteration process stops when the parameters converge or the number of iterations reaches a predetermined value.

[0105] Step 7: Predict the remaining life of the transformer based on the optimized model parameters and weighting coefficients.

[0107] The predicted expected update of the remaining life of the distribution network transformer is:

[0108]

[0109] In summary, the implementation method of the present invention is based on the traditional remaining life prediction, optimizes the weights and parameters of the composite health index and the random degradation model according to the transformer data set, so that the weight coefficient distribution is reasonable, and realizes the change of the composite weight and the critical threshold according to the actual value of the historical data, thereby improving the accuracy of the prediction method.

[0110] According to the transformer life prediction method based on digital-analog linkage and gradient descent in an embodiment of the present invention, the method combines the transformer historical data with a quasi-exponential random degradation model to form a closed-loop cross-linkage mechanism between the data and the model, thereby improving the accuracy of the remaining life prediction of the distribution network transformer.
