Detailed Embodiments

[0018] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0019] Refer to Figures 1-3 The present invention provides two technical solutions: The first embodiment: An intelligent recognition and early warning system for ultrasonic partial discharge of substation equipment based on voiceprint diagnosis, including: a data acquisition unit for real-time acquisition of ultrasonic signals generated by substation equipment during discharge. The data acquisition unit includes a plurality of ultrasonic sensors arranged in a matrix, and multiple groups of data are continuously acquired by using an ultrasonic sensor array for the ultrasonic signals generated by the substation equipment under different voltage levels during operation.

[0020] The ultrasonic sensor uses a probe with a frequency of 20 - 100 kHz, and the resonant frequency is 40 kHz, with a monitoring sensitivity of 2 mV. Among them, according to the set sampling period for detection, the uploaded data includes ultrasonic AE and the temperature and humidity of the operating environment. The ultrasonic detection circuit consists of an AD8032 preamplifier and an AD8310 logarithmic amplifier, which accurately converts the electromagnetic wave signal into an equivalent decibel scale value at the DC output at the input, and adjusts and amplifies the signal collected by the sensor. At the same time, the digital temperature and humidity IC outputs digital signals through the processor, and finally uses the 470 MHz LoRa wireless communication technology to transmit the data to the data processing unit through the wireless transceiver SX1268 chip.

[0021] Specifically, the continuous detection mode is mainly used to quickly obtain the signal characteristics of the device under test, and has the characteristics of intuitive display and fast response speed. It can display the effective value, periodic peak value of the measured signal within one power frequency cycle, and the correlation between the measured signal and the frequency. By combining different parameter values, it can quickly judge whether there is abnormal partial discharge in the substation equipment and the possible discharge type.

[0022] When the frequency component is large in the continuous detection mode, it can enter the phase detection mode, which is mainly used to further confirm the specific phase where the abnormal signal occurs, so as to judge whether the abnormal signal is correlated with the power frequency voltage, and then judge whether the abnormal signal is a discharge signal and the potential discharge type. Since the generation of partial discharge signals is correlated with the power frequency electric field, the power frequency voltage can be used as a reference quantity, and by observing whether there is an aggregation effect in the occurrence phase of the measured signal, it can be judged whether the measured signal is caused by internal discharge of the equipment.

[0023] When the effective value or periodic peak value is large but the frequency component is small in the continuous detection mode, it can enter the pulse detection mode, which is mainly used for further confirmation of free particle defects. Each time a particle collides with the shell, a broadband transient acoustic pulse is emitted, which propagates back and forth in the shell. The acoustic signal of this kind of particle is a mixed signal of partial discharge at the end of the particle and the particle colliding with the shell. The pulse mode can record the time and the generated pulse amplitude each time the particle collides with the shell, and display it in the form of a flight diagram.

[0024] The data preprocessing unit, including a filtering and noise reduction module, an information extraction module, and a communication module, is used to filter and reduce the noise of the collected ultrasonic signals, improve the signal quality, and transmit the preprocessed data to the data processing unit.

[0025] The filtering and noise reduction module uses a band - pass filter for filtering, and evaluates the filtering effect by calculating the signal - to - noise ratio after filtering. The formula for the signal - to - noise ratio is: ; where is the signal power, is the noise power.

[0026] The information extraction module performs time-frequency spectrum analysis on the sound signal by the matrix pencil method to extract the time-domain and frequency-domain features of the signal.

[0027] The data processing unit is used to extract voiceprint features, establish a voiceprint database, and perform comparison and analysis on the voiceprint features. The data processing module identifies the voiceprint features that can characterize the partial discharge type through constructing a ResNet50 neural network based on the preprocessed signal features; the database module is used to establish a voiceprint database containing normal voiceprint features and various abnormal voiceprint features; the analysis and comparison module is used to compare and analyze the voiceprint features collected in real time with the features in the voiceprint database to automatically identify the type, intensity, and possible location of the partial discharge; the warning module is used to perform intelligent warning on the partial discharge of the substation equipment according to the analysis results.

[0028] The data processing unit converts the time-frequency spectrum diagram obtained by the matrix pencil method into a grayscale image, reshapes the grayscale image into an image with a size of 224*224, and inputs it into the ResNet50 neural network; the network output has a size of 11, corresponding to short-circuit impact, partial discharge, DC bias, normal operation at 110 kV, normal operation at 220 kV, normal operation at 500 kV, normal operation at 800 kV, normal operation at 1000 kV, bird song, rain sound, and on-load tap changer switching state respectively, and generates a voiceprint database.

[0029] The second implementation manner: The analysis process of the matrix pencil method includes: The ultrasonic signal of the substation equipment can be expressed as: ; where , and respectively represent the amplitude, frequency, and initial phase of the th frequency component; is the th frequency component's attenuation coefficient; is the sampling time interval; further expressed as an exponential model: ; where ; .

[0030] For the sampled signal x(n), construct two (N-L)×L Hankel matrices X1 and X2: ; ; is the matrix pencil parameter, and proper selection can reduce the influence of noise, to is A better choice; transform , as: ; ; where ; ; ; ; then we have: ; Therefore, the generalized eigenvalues of the matrix pencil include the number of sound signal frequencies, frequencies, and attenuation coefficients. Thus, obtaining the sound signal is transformed into the problem of solving the generalized eigenvalues of the following formula: ; In the formula, is the pseudo-inverse; after obtaining the number of sound signal frequencies, frequencies, and attenuation coefficients, the signal amplitude can be obtained by solving the following least squares problem: .

[0031] By equipping the intelligent front-end board in the ResNet50 neural network with an embedded chip for edge computing, that is, an embedded chip dedicated to artificial intelligence image processing, intelligent video image recognition is performed on the edge side; the ResNet50 neural network establishes a classification model as Figure 2 shown, and the cloud sends the trained and evaluated substation equipment defect image diagnosis model to the cloud-edge collaboration component of the intelligent front-end board through the cloud-edge collaboration component on the cloud side.
