Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of energy metering, in particular to a heat meter online fault diagnosis method and system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Energy metering technology is a key technology widely used in many fields such as heating systems, industrial processes and building energy management. Heat meters, as an important tool in this field, are used to measure energy consumption in heating systems for accurate billing and energy efficiency management. In large residential complexes or industrial parks, heat meters can monitor the heat consumption of each user in real time.

[0003] In the daily operation of heat meters, data anomalies often occur due to environmental factors, sensor aging and signal interference. These anomalies may manifest as drift, mutation or long-term deviation of measurement data, directly affecting the accuracy of heat energy metering. However, existing fault detection methods rely heavily on periodic manual calibration and offline analysis, which cannot handle and detect data anomalies in real time. This method not only consumes time and effort, but also may miss early signs of failure, leading to accumulated problems and affecting the performance of the entire heating system. In addition, traditional detection methods mainly rely on pre-set rules or experience-based judgment for fault type determination, lacking the ability to dynamically adjust and provide real-time feedback, making it difficult to cope with complex and changing actual operating environments. The lack of online processing and detection capabilities further limits the possibility of effective intervention by the system in the early stages of failure, making subsequent problems more complex.

Compared with traditional methods, the present system has higher sensitivity and robustness in detecting small anomalies and various complex fault modes, thereby effectively avoiding misjudgment caused by inaccurate data or improper processing, ensuring the stable operation and accurate measurement of the heat meter.

[0042] (3) The feature vector FVEC is processed by the online anomaly detection algorithm, the anomaly detection index AS is accurately calculated, and the running state of the heat meter is judged in real time by matching with the preset running anomaly state threshold YZ. Through strict standardization and weight calculation, this module ensures the sensitive capture of the deviation degree of various features, can accurately identify the abnormal state; at the same time, through the return mechanism of the return signal, the intelligent triggering of the fault type judgment module is realized, and only when the anomaly is detected, further fault analysis is carried out, thereby avoiding the waste of system resources; it is also suitable for continuous monitoring under complex working conditions, ensures that the system can quickly make judgments and responses when facing sudden conditions, reduces unnecessary downtime, and improves the overall operation efficiency and stability of the heat meter.

[0043] (4) The anomaly detection index AS and the feature vector FVEC are fitted and calculated, the fault feature probability index TYP can be accurately obtained, and then the anomaly response strategy with strong pertinence is intelligently generated by matching with the preset threshold TZ. This not only ensures that the system can quickly switch the operation mode, start the self-diagnosis function, and timely notify the maintenance personnel when the actual fault occurs, but also can reduce unnecessary intervention under non-serious abnormal conditions, and optimize the system resource utilization rate.

[0060] The noise removal process includes using moving average filtering to remove noise from time series data while preserving the trend of the data in the running area; missing value processing includes using linear interpolation to fill in missing values ​​by establishing the linear relationship between adjacent data points, thereby restoring the complete data sequence; and data standardization preprocessing includes using Z-score standardization to standardize the data, thereby adjusting different parameters to the same dimension.

[0061] The feature extraction module includes a feature calculation unit and a feature integration unit;

[0062] The feature calculation unit performs feature extraction on the preprocessed acquired data set DAT to obtain temperature difference feature (TDF), flow rate change feature (FCF), pressure fluctuation feature (PWF), vibration frequency feature (VDF), and noise intensity feature (NRF).

[0063] The feature integration unit marks the temperature difference feature (TDF), flow rate change feature (FCF), pressure fluctuation feature (PWF), vibration frequency feature (VDF), and noise intensity feature (NRF) with time t, and then integrates them to form a feature vector FVEC, specifically FVEC={TDF, FCF, PWF, VDF, NRF, t}.

[0064] Among them, the temperature difference feature (TDF) is used to reflect the difference between the temperature of the fluid in the heat meter and the ambient temperature; the flow rate change feature (FCF) is used to reflect the rate of change and stability of the flow rate; the pressure fluctuation feature (PWF) is used to reflect the stability of the pressure in the pipeline; the vibration frequency feature (VDF) is used to analyze the vibration state of the equipment or pipeline, specifically by extracting the frequency components of the vibration signal through Fourier transform and feeding them back; and the noise intensity feature (NRF) is used to reflect the noise level of the equipment and pipeline during operation.

[0065] Temperature difference characteristics (TDF) are obtained using the following formula:

FLW represents the rate of change of flow rate FLW with time point i, FLWmax represents the peak flow rate, and FLWmin represents the valley flow rate.

[0071] Pressure fluctuation characteristics (PWF) are obtained using the following formula:

[0074] The vibration frequency characteristic VDF is obtained through the following characteristic calculation formula:

[0075] ;

[0076] In the formula, w represents the total number of frequency components after Fourier transform, VIBk represents the k-th frequency component of the vibration intensity signal, and F(VIBk) represents the Fourier transform result of the vibration intensity VIB signal on the k-th frequency component, specifically representing the amplitude of the vibration intensity VIB.

[0077] Noise intensity characteristics (NRF) are obtained using the following formula:

[0078] ;

[0079] In the formula, NRMi represents the operating noise at the i-th time point. This represents the average operating noise level.

[0080] In this embodiment, during the data acquisition and preprocessing stage, key parameters are acquired in real time by integrating multiple high-precision sensors and preprocessed, including moving average filtering, linear interpolation, and Z-score standardization, to ensure high-quality and consistent data. During feature extraction, the system extracts multi-dimensional features reflecting the operating status of the heat meter through complex feature calculation formulas and integrates these features into a time-stamped feature vector (FVEC). This process not only ensures data integrity and accuracy but also enables the system to comprehensively capture dynamic changes in operating status. Compared to traditional methods, this system exhibits higher sensitivity and robustness in detecting minor anomalies and various complex fault modes, effectively avoiding misjudgments caused by inaccurate data or improper processing, thus ensuring stable operation and accurate measurement of the heat meter.

[0081] Example 3

[0082] This embodiment is an explanation based on Embodiment 2. Please refer to it. Figure 1 Specifically: the anomaly detection module includes an anomaly detection unit and a state matching unit;

[0083] The anomaly detection unit uses an online anomaly detection algorithm to assign weights and perform weighted calculations on the temperature difference feature (TDF), flow rate change feature (FCF), pressure fluctuation feature (PWF), vibration frequency feature (VDF), and noise intensity feature (NRF) in the acquired feature vector FVEC. It then obtains the anomaly detection index AS by comprehensively considering the weighted deviations of the temperature difference feature (TDF), flow rate change feature (FCF), pressure fluctuation feature (PWF), vibration frequency feature (VDF), and noise intensity feature (NRF). This AS is used to trigger the matching of the heat meter operating status results in the status matching unit.

[0084] The anomaly detection index AS is obtained using the following formula:

[0085] ;

[0086] In the formula, m represents the total number of features in the feature vector FVEC, and FVECj represents the j-th feature in the feature vector FVEC. Let represent the mean of the j-th feature in the feature vector FVEC. This represents the standard deviation of the j-th feature in the eigenvector FVEC, specifically indicating the range of fluctuation of the feature values. This represents the standardized deviation of the j-th feature in the feature vector FVEC, specifically indicating the degree of deviation of the feature, where uj represents the preset weight value of the j-th feature;

[0087] The status matching unit matches the preset abnormal operation status threshold YZ with the abnormal detection index AS to obtain the heat meter operation status result, and triggers the execution of the fault type judgment module based on the heat meter operation status result.

[0088] The heat meter's operating status result is marked as a return signal, and the execution of the fault type judgment module is triggered based on the return signal;

[0089] The return signal is transmitted through Obtained by marking method;

[0090] When the return signal is 1, it indicates that the heat meter is in an abnormal operating state, triggering the execution of the fault type judgment module.

[0091] When the return signal is 0, the heat meter's operating status is found to be normal, and the execution of the fault type judgment module is not triggered.

[0092] In this embodiment, the feature vector FVEC is processed by an online anomaly detection algorithm to accurately calculate the anomaly detection index AS. This index AS is then matched with a preset anomaly state threshold YZ to determine the heat meter's operating status in real time. This module, through rigorous standardization and weight calculation, ensures sensitive capture of deviations from various features, accurately identifying anomalies. Simultaneously, the return signal mechanism enables intelligent triggering of the fault type judgment module, performing further fault analysis only when an anomaly is detected, thus avoiding waste of system resources. It is also suitable for continuous monitoring under complex operating conditions, ensuring the system can quickly make judgments and responses to emergencies, reducing unnecessary downtime and improving the overall operating efficiency and stability of the heat meter.

[0093] Example 4

[0094] This embodiment is an explanation based on Embodiment 3. Please refer to it. Figure 1 Specifically: The fault type judgment module verifies the anomaly detection index AS and feature vector FVEC through a verification mechanism to verify the integrity and consistency of the data. Simultaneously, the anomaly detection index AS and feature vector FVEC are temporarily stored in the cache and processed sequentially according to the time series. Then, the anomaly detection index AS and feature vector FVEC are comprehensively processed using an online fitting algorithm to obtain the fault feature probability index TYP, thereby realizing the quantitative assessment of different fault types.

[0095] The fault characteristic probability index TYP is obtained through the following formula:

[0096] ;

[0097] In the formula, TYPk represents the fault feature probability index TYP for the k-th fault type, m represents the total number of features in the feature vector FVEC, Pk,j represents the preset weight value between the k-th fault type and the j-th feature, and FVECj represents the j-th feature in the feature vector FVEC. The standard deviation of the j-th feature in the feature vector FVEC is represented as . This represents the sensitivity coefficient for the k-th fault type;

[0098] The fault types include abnormal temperature, abnormal flow, abnormal pressure, abnormal vibration, and abnormal noise.

[0099] The execution iteration module includes an anomaly evaluation unit and an iteration control unit;

[0100] The anomaly assessment unit matches the obtained fault feature probability index TYP with the preset heat meter operation feature anomaly assessment threshold TZ to obtain a heat meter operation anomaly feature response strategy scheme.

[0101] The iterative control unit executes the response strategy based on the abnormal characteristics of the heat meter operation, and iteratively adjusts the fault characteristic probability index TYP by recording the execution results.

[0102] The response strategy for abnormal operation characteristics of heat meters is obtained through the following matching method:

[0103] When the fault characteristic probability index TYP is greater than or equal to the heat meter operation characteristic abnormal assessment threshold TZ, obtain the heat meter operation status abnormal response strategy plan, including switching the operation mode, starting the heat meter's self-diagnosis function, issuing an alarm, recording logs, and notifying relevant inspection personnel to carry out maintenance.

[0104] When the fault characteristic probability index TYP is less than the heat meter operation characteristic abnormality assessment threshold TZ, obtain the heat meter operation status abnormality non-response strategy scheme.

[0105] In this embodiment, the anomaly detection index AS and the feature vector FVEC are fitted and calculated to accurately obtain the fault feature probability index TYP. This TYP is then matched with a preset threshold TZ to intelligently generate a highly targeted anomaly response strategy. This not only ensures that the system can quickly switch operating modes, activate self-diagnostic functions, and promptly notify maintenance personnel when an actual fault occurs, but also reduces unnecessary intervention and optimizes system resource utilization in non-serious anomaly situations.

[0110] Step 3: The anomaly detection module processes the acquired feature vector FVEC using an online anomaly detection algorithm to obtain the anomaly detection index AS, and matches it with the preset abnormal operation state threshold YZ to obtain the heat meter operation status result.
