Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of substation fault identification, and in particular to a substation fault identification method and system based on image detection. Background Art

[0002] Currently, infrared imaging technology plays a crucial role in identifying equipment faults in substations. By detecting infrared radiation emitted by power equipment and converting it into visible images, the system can identify the device's temperature distribution. Deep learning algorithms then use this temperature information to identify whether the equipment is faulty. Abnormal temperatures are often a precursor to equipment failure, making infrared imaging technology an effective preventative measure. However, infrared imaging technology is significantly affected by weather conditions (such as temperature and light). Infrared images of the same equipment at noon and at night can be inconsistent. Accurately identifying a single device fault requires a significant amount of imaging and annotated data. The workload and data required to identify equipment faults within a substation are enormous, and this inevitably leads to significant computational resources and time consumption. Therefore, improving algorithm efficiency and reducing resource consumption while ensuring accurate and real-time fault identification has become a pressing challenge for researchers in this field.

[0028] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the following briefly introduces the drawings required for use in the embodiments or the description of the prior art. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments described in the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can also be obtained based on these drawings.

[0029] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a substation fault identification method based on image detection provided in Example 1 of the present application;

[0030] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a substation fault identification system based on image detection provided in Example 2 of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the first embodiment of the present application provides a substation fault identification method based on image detection, including:

[0034] Step S10: collecting historical imaging data within the substation and generating an original data set in combination with weather data at the time of imaging acquisition;

[0035] Weather is the main reason that affects the accuracy of imaging data. Different temperatures and light conditions will cause deviations in the imaging of the equipment. In this step, the imaging data and the weather data at that time need to be processed into data pairs (p i ,E i) and organized into original data sets to provide data basis for subsequent calculations, where p i is the i-th historical imaging data, E i The weather dataset at the time of obtaining the i-th historical imaging data.

[0036] Step S20: Calculating the global influence coefficient of weather data on imaging data based on the original data set;

[0037] It is known that weather data can affect the accuracy of imaging data. Quantifying this impact in advance can significantly reduce the fault identification cycle and the amount of training required for the fault identification model, thereby improving identification accuracy while reducing computing resource consumption. This is specifically divided into the following sub-steps:

[0038] Step S21: extracting the color features of each image in the original data set to replace the image data in the original data pair;

[0039] Because infrared imaging is usually single-channel, the grayscale mean is used here as the color feature of the imaging; the imaging data in the data pair in the original data set was originally an image, and the color feature of this image is now used to replace it.

[0040] Step S22: de-duplicate and sort the replaced data according to the values ​​of each weather data;

[0041] Remove data pairs with consistent values ​​for each weather data item to reduce the amount of calculation. Sorting is to better observe the changing trend of the data and determine the weight of the weather data. Both descending and ascending orders are acceptable.

[0042] Step S23: calculating the global influence coefficient of the weather data on the imaging data based on the deviations generated between adjacent data pairs;

[0043] The calculation formula of the global influence coefficient λ is expressed as:

[0044] where μ j is the weight of the j-th weather data (preset value), e jk is the value of the jth weather data in the kth data pair, e jk+1 is the value of the jth weather data in the k+1th data pair, c k is the imaging data in the kth data pair (replaced by the color feature of the imaging at this time), c k+1 is the imaging data in the k+1th data pair, j takes values ​​from 1 to m, m is the total number of weather data items, k takes values ​​from w-1, w is the total number of data pairs in the original dataset after deduplication, and λ is the calculated result of the global influence coefficient.

[0045] Step S30: Collect historical diagnostic data of equipment faults in the substation and generate a training data set by combining it with the original data set;

[0046] First, the historical diagnostic data of equipment failures is text-vectorized. Then, the vectorized diagnostic data is used as output, and the color features of the historical imaging used for diagnosis and the weather data at the time are used as input to form input-output pairs. Finally, these input-output pairs are organized into a dataset to form a training dataset.

[0047] Step S40: establishing a fault identification model using the global influence coefficient and the training data set;

[0048] The global influence coefficient enables the model to focus on learning the guiding relationship between faults and device imaging, greatly reducing the amount of training and computation while ensuring accuracy. Specifically:

[0049] Step S41: creating a fault identification model based on the global impact coefficient;

[0050] The data expression of the created fault identification model is:

[0051] Where Y is the output of the model, φ f is the output weight of the f-th layer of the model, d f is the output bias of the fth layer of the model, x a is the input imaging data, is the jth weather data input, μ j is the weight of the jth weather data, λ is the global influence coefficient, δ fl is the lth latent variable in the fth layer, l takes values ​​from 1 to L, L is the total number of latent variables in the fth layer, j takes values ​​from 1 to m, m is the total number of input weather data items, and f takes values ​​from 1 to F, F is the total number of layers in the model.

[0052] Step S42: using the training data set to train and tune the fault recognition model;

[0053] First, we need to design a loss function for the model, and then use the minimum loss principle to continuously iterate the parameters in the model during the training process to obtain the optimal solution for the parameters of each layer of the model. The loss function is expressed as:

[0054] Where S is the loss value calculation result, y uv is the actual classification label of the u-th training sample for fault v. If the fault actually pointed to by the training sample u is v, then y uv The value is 1, otherwise it is 0, p uvis the probability that the u-th training sample is predicted to be fault v, v ranges from 1 to V, V is the number of faults identified in the substation, and u ranges from 1 to U, U is the total number of training samples.

[0055] Step S43: Verify the accuracy of the fault identification model and put it into production environment after reaching the preset standard;

[0056] Prepare a validation dataset to verify the model's generalization ability on unfamiliar samples, observe the accuracy of the output results, and if it is lower than the preset standard, return to step S42, adjust the data training weights and re-train and tune; if it has reached the preset standard, put the trained model into the production environment for use.

[0057] Step S50: acquiring imaging data collected by the imaging device in real time, obtaining a fault identification result through the fault identification model, and forwarding the fault identification result to the operation and maintenance personnel in the substation;

[0058] Because the fault identification model of this application has fewer parameters and focuses more, the identification speed is much faster than that of traditional models. After obtaining the imaging data, the features are extracted and input into the model, and the identification results can be obtained immediately, which can achieve real-time identification. The operation and maintenance personnel can then perform timely maintenance on the equipment in the substation based on the identification results, which can further improve the efficiency of equipment maintenance and reduce equipment loss caused by untimely processing.

[0059] Example 2

[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, the second embodiment of the present application provides a substation fault identification system based on image detection, including: a raw data sorting module 21, a weather impact quantification module 22, a training data preparation module 23, a fault identification model establishment module 24, and a fault identification module 25;

[0061] The raw data collating module 21 is used to collect historical imaging data in the substation and generate a raw data set in combination with weather data at the time of imaging acquisition;

[0062] Weather is the main reason that affects the accuracy of imaging data. Different temperatures and light conditions will cause deviations in the imaging of the equipment. In this step, the imaging data and the weather data at that time need to be processed into data pairs (p i ,E i ) and organized into original data sets to provide data basis for subsequent calculations, where p i is the i-th historical imaging data, E i The weather dataset at the time of obtaining the i-th historical imaging data.

[0063] The weather impact quantification module 22 is used to calculate the global impact coefficient of weather data on imaging data based on the original data set; specifically, it includes: an original data processing submodule and a global impact coefficient calculation submodule;

[0064] 1. The raw data processing submodule is used to extract the color features of each image in the original data set to replace the image data in the original data pair, and to remove duplicates and sort the replaced data pairs according to the values ​​of various weather data;

[0065] Because infrared imaging is typically single-channel, the grayscale mean is used as the color feature of the image. The image data in the data pairs in the original dataset was originally a single image, and the color features of this image are now replaced. Removing data pairs with identical values ​​for each weather data item reduces the computational effort. Sorting is used to better observe data trends and determine the weight of the weather data. Both descending and ascending sorting are acceptable.

[0066] 2. Global influence coefficient calculation submodule, used to calculate the global influence coefficient of weather data on imaging data based on the deviation between adjacent data pairs;

[0067] The calculation formula of the global influence coefficient λ is expressed as:

[0068] Where μj is the weight of the j-th weather data (preset value), ejk is the value of the j-th weather data in the k-th data pair, and e jk+1 is the value of the jth weather data in the k+1th data pair, c k is the imaging data in the kth data pair (replaced by the color features of the imaging at this time), ck+1 is the imaging data in the k+1th data pair, j ranges from 1 to m, m is the total number of weather data items, k ranges from w-1, w is the total number of data pairs in the original dataset after deduplication, and λ is the calculated result of the global influence coefficient.

[0069] The training data preparation module 23 is used to collect historical diagnostic data of equipment failures in the substation and generate a training data set by combining the original data set;

[0070] First, the historical diagnostic data of equipment failures is text-vectorized. Then, the vectorized diagnostic data is used as output, and the color features of the historical imaging used for diagnosis and the weather data at the time are used as input to form input-output pairs. Finally, these input-output pairs are organized into a dataset to form a training dataset.

[0071] The fault identification model establishment module 24 is used to establish a fault identification model using the global influence coefficient and the training data set; specifically, it includes: a model creation submodule, a model training submodule and a model verification submodule;

[0072] 1. Model creation submodule, used to create a fault identification model using the global influence coefficient;

[0073] The data expression of the created fault identification model is:

[0074] Where Y is the output of the model, φ f is the output weight of the f-th layer of the model, d f is the output bias of the fth layer of the model, x a is the input imaging data, is the jth weather data input, μ j is the weight of the jth weather data, λ is the global influence coefficient, δ fl is the lth latent variable in the fth layer, l takes values ​​from 1 to L, L is the total number of latent variables in the fth layer, j takes values ​​from 1 to m, m is the total number of input weather data items, and f takes values ​​from 1 to F, F is the total number of layers in the model.

[0075] 2. Model training submodule, used to train and tune the fault identification model using the training data set;

[0076] First, we need to design a loss function for the model, and then use the minimum loss principle to continuously iterate the parameters in the model during the training process to obtain the optimal solution for the parameters of each layer of the model. The loss function is expressed as:

[0077] Where S is the loss value calculation result, y uv is the actual classification label of the u-th training sample for fault v. If the fault actually pointed to by the training sample u is v, then y uv The value is 1, otherwise it is 0, p uv is the probability that the u-th training sample is predicted to be fault v, v ranges from 1 to V, V is the number of faults identified in the substation, and u ranges from 1 to U, U is the total number of training samples.

[0078] 3. Model verification submodule, used to verify the accuracy of the fault identification model and put it into production environment after reaching the preset standard;

[0079] Prepare a validation dataset to verify the model's generalization ability on unfamiliar samples and observe the accuracy of the output results. If the accuracy is lower than the preset standard, return to the model training submodule, adjust the data training weights, and retrain and tune. If the preset standard has been met, the trained model will be put into production environment for use.

[0080] The fault identification module 25 is used to obtain the imaging data collected by the imaging equipment in real time, obtain the fault identification result through the trained fault identification model, and forward the fault identification result to the operation and maintenance personnel in the substation.
