Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of power technology, and in particular, to a transformer fault inspection system and method based on multi-sensors. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous growth of global energy demand and the rapid development of power systems, power transformers, as the core equipment for power transmission and distribution, their safe and stable operation is crucial for ensuring social production and life. However, in high-altitude areas with complex environments, transformers face many challenges. In high-altitude areas, the air is thin, the air pressure is low, and the insulation performance decreases, making transformers prone to faults such as partial discharge. At the same time, in high-altitude areas, the temperature difference between day and night is large, the ultraviolet rays are strong, and the wind and sand are large. These harsh natural environmental factors will affect the insulating materials, sealing performance, etc. of transformers, accelerate equipment aging, and increase the risk of faults. In addition, in high-altitude areas, transportation is inconvenient, manual inspection is difficult, inefficient, and there are certain safety risks. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a system and method that can efficiently and accurately perform transformer fault inspection in extreme high-altitude environments.

[0003] The patent document with the publication number CN114264982A discloses a transformer inspection system, which includes: a plurality of state sensors and an inspection management platform; the inspection management platform is used to control the transformer inspection system to operate in a first inspection mode; wherein, in the first inspection mode, each state sensor respectively collects the operation state information of the target transformer at its corresponding sampling period and sends it to the inspection management platform; the inspection management platform determines whether the operation state information collected by each state sensor is abnormal. If the operation state information collected by a certain state sensor is abnormal, then control the transformer inspection system to operate in a second inspection mode; wherein, in the second inspection mode, the abnormal state sensor and the state sensors related to the abnormal state sensor synchronously collect the operation state information of the target transformer and send it to the inspection management platform, so that the inspection management platform performs fault analysis on the target transformer.

[0004] It can be seen that the transformer inspection system has the following problems: in high-altitude and extreme environments, the data of a single sensor will be interfered by the environment, resulting in insufficient data specificity; there is a lack of collaborative analysis of multiple modules, and the degree of data fusion is low, making it difficult to comprehensively reflect the operation state of the transformer; it is necessary to process data from different sources and in different formats, increasing the complexity of data processing and the computing burden; the communication signal in high-altitude areas is weak, and the data transmission between the sensor and the inspection management platform may be interfered, resulting in signal attenuation or interruption, leading to data transmission delay and affecting the real-time judgment of faults by the inspection management platform.

[0047] Adjust the preset synchronization threshold according to the number of the faulty transformers to form an adjusted synchronization threshold;

[0048] Send out an early warning according to the faulty transformers determined based on the adjusted synchronization threshold.

[0049] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: through the real-time collection and comprehensive analysis of multi-dimensional data such as the flow rate of the transformer cooling oil, the acetylene content, the temperature of the windings, the DC resistance, and the copper loss value, the faults are quickly located, the detection parameters are dynamically adjusted, and an early warning is sent out in time, improving the accuracy and efficiency of fault detection, reducing the operation and maintenance costs and safety risks, enhancing the adaptability and stability of the system in a complex environment, providing a strong guarantee for the reliable operation of power equipment, and overcoming the problems of inaccurate fault diagnosis and response delay caused by high-altitude extreme environments in the prior art through multi-parameter monitoring, dynamic threshold adjustment, and optimized inspection path.

[0050] Furthermore, by calculating the temperature fluctuation value and the flow rate fluctuation value within a preset determination period and screening out temporary transformers accordingly, it is possible to quickly identify the transformers that may have faults, provide a preliminary screening result for subsequent fault diagnosis, improve the detection efficiency and accuracy of the system, and reduce unnecessary detection workload.

[0051] Furthermore, by plotting the temperature fluctuation curve and the flow rate fluctuation curve within a preset determination duration and calculating the cosine similarity between the two to form a change synchronization degree, the correlation between the temperature and flow rate changes of the transformer can be effectively evaluated. When the change synchronization degree is lower than the preset synchronization degree threshold, the system marks the transformer under test as a temporary transformer, providing a basis for further detection, improving the accuracy of fault detection, reducing the false alarm rate, optimizing the monitoring resource allocation, enhancing the monitoring efficiency, and reducing the operation and maintenance costs. At the same time, the visualization curve provides intuitive data support for the operation and maintenance personnel, facilitating the quick understanding and analysis of the operation status of the transformer, enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the system, and providing a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the power system.

[0052] Furthermore, by calculating the correlation coefficient between the DC resistance and the copper loss value and making a determination in combination with a preset threshold, overheated transformers can be effectively identified, significantly improving the accuracy of fault diagnosis, reducing the false alarm rate, not only optimizing the allocation of monitoring resources, enhancing the monitoring efficiency, but also achieving a rapid response to the change of the transformer status by reasonably setting the preset determination duration and timely discovering potential faults.

[0053] Furthermore, by comparing the correlation coefficient with the preset correlation coefficient threshold, overheated transformers can be quickly and accurately identified, greatly improving the accuracy and efficiency of fault diagnosis, effectively reducing false alarms, avoiding misjudgment caused by single-parameter detection, quickly responding to abnormal changes in the transformer status, timely capturing overheating faults, and reducing the risk of fault expansion.

[0054] Furthermore, by setting a preset distance range and a preset radius, fault transformers can be effectively identified and determined, significantly improving the accuracy and efficiency of fault diagnosis. When the distance between adjacent overheated transformers is less than the minimum value of the preset distance range, all the transformers within the preset radius are determined as fault transformers; when the distance between adjacent overheated transformers is greater than the maximum value of the preset distance range, the acetylene content of each transformer under test within the preset determination range in the temporary inspection route between the adjacent overheated transformers is further used to determine the fault transformers, so as to comprehensively cover potential fault areas and avoid missing fault points.

[0055] Furthermore, by calculating the standard deviation of the acetylene content in the overheated transformer and the transformer to be measured to form an acetylene content fluctuation value and comparing it with a preset acetylene content fluctuation threshold, it is possible to effectively distinguish between faulty transformers and normal transformers. When the fluctuation value is less than the preset threshold, it indicates that the acetylene content of the transformer to be measured is close to that of the overheated transformer, and the system determines both as faulty transformers; when the fluctuation value is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, it indicates that the acetylene content of the transformer to be measured is quite different from that of the overheated transformer, and only the overheated transformer is determined as a faulty transformer, improving the accuracy and reliability of fault diagnosis, reducing the false alarm rate, optimizing the allocation of monitoring resources at the same time, improving the operation and maintenance efficiency, and providing a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the power system.

[0056] Furthermore, by calculating the standard deviation of the number of faulty transformers within a preset adjustment duration to form a number fluctuation value and adjusting the preset synchronization threshold accordingly, the system can dynamically optimize the detection parameters according to the change in the number of faults, thereby improving the adaptability and reliability of the system. It not only enhances the stability of the system under different working conditions but also can respond in a timely manner to the change in the number of faults to ensure the accuracy of fault diagnosis.

[0057] Furthermore, by calculating the number fluctuation deviation and dynamically adjusting the preset synchronization threshold accordingly, the system can automatically optimize the detection parameters according to the change in the number of faults, improving the adaptability and reliability of the system, enabling it to better meet the fault detection requirements under different working conditions. At the same time, dynamically adjusting the threshold can reduce the false alarm rate, ensure the accuracy of fault diagnosis, optimize the allocation of monitoring resources, improve the operation and maintenance efficiency, and provide a more powerful guarantee for the stable operation of the power system.

[0058] Furthermore, by collecting the key operating parameters of the transformer in real time through multiple sensors and combining with preset thresholds and dynamic adjustment mechanisms, efficient monitoring and early warning of transformer faults are realized; the accuracy and reliability of fault diagnosis are improved, the false alarm rate is reduced, the allocation of monitoring resources is optimized, and the operation and maintenance costs are reduced; by monitoring multiple parameters, dynamically adjusting thresholds, and optimizing the inspection path, the problems of inaccurate fault diagnosis and response delay caused by high-altitude extreme environments in the existing technology are overcome.

[0074] The inspection device with multiple sensors described in this embodiment refers to an inspection robot equipped with sensors such as ultrasonic sensors, acetylene sensors, and current sensors.

[0075] The monitoring area refers to an area located in a high-altitude region that covers all the transformers to be monitored.

[0076] The flow rate refers to the flow velocity of the cooling oil in the transformer cooling system. The actual flow rate of the cooling oil can be calculated by measuring the time difference between the forward and reverse propagation of ultrasonic waves in the oil flow through an ultrasonic sensor.

[0077] The acetylene content refers to the concentration of acetylene gas dissolved in the transformer cooling oil, and a professional acetylene sensor can be used to directly detect the acetylene content.

[0078] The temperature of the winding refers to the actual temperature of the transformer winding during operation. Fiber optic temperature sensors are embedded at key positions of the transformer winding, and the temperature distribution on the winding surface is obtained through the fiber optic temperature sensors.

[0079] The DC resistance refers to the resistance value of the transformer winding under DC conditions. The real-time DC resistance can be calculated by pre-storing the cold-state resistance of each transformer and according to the cold-state resistance, temperature coefficient, and real-time winding temperature.

[0080] The copper loss value refers to the heat loss generated in the transformer winding due to the passage of current, which can be calculated by measuring the current in the winding through a current sensor and the DC resistance calculated from the cold-state resistance and temperature coefficient using a formula.

[0081] The preset synchronization threshold is a key parameter for judging the synchronization of the temperature fluctuation curve and the flow rate fluctuation curve. When the change synchronization degree is lower than this threshold, it indicates that the transformer may be abnormal. It depends on the operating characteristics of the transformer, statistical analysis of historical data, and requirements for fault detection sensitivity, and is usually set between 0.5 and 0.8. In this embodiment, it is set to 0.7, which can effectively reduce false alarms while promptly detecting abnormal situations where the temperature and flow rate change out of sync, improving the accuracy and reliability of fault detection.

[0082] The inspection route is optimized and generated by a computer algorithm based on the position information of the transformers. The system will obtain the precise position information of the transformers and then use the shortest path algorithm to calculate an optimal path that can cover all the transformers. This path will be optimized through multiple iterations to ensure that its total length is the shortest and meets the actual inspection conditions.

[0083] The preset radius is a key parameter for determining the range of transformers that may be affected within a circular area centered on the overheated transformer, and is usually set between 2 meters and 4 meters. In this embodiment, it is set to 3 meters, which can effectively cover the potential fault areas around the overheated transformer, ensure the comprehensiveness and accuracy of fault diagnosis, while avoiding excessive expansion of the fault range and reducing the false alarm rate.

[0084] By collecting the flow rate of the cooling oil, the acetylene content, and the temperature of the winding of the transformer in real time, determining the temporary transformers according to the preset thresholds, and collecting the DC resistance and copper loss values along the temporary inspection route, the overheated transformer is further determined. Then, combining the distance and acetylene content of the overheated transformer to determine the faulty transformers, and dynamically adjusting the thresholds according to the number of faults, and finally issuing a fault warning.

[0086] Specifically, the temporary determination module includes:

[0087] A temperature fluctuation calculation unit for calculating the standard deviation of the temperature within a preset determination duration to form a temperature fluctuation value;

[0088] A flow rate fluctuation calculation unit for calculating the standard deviation of the flow rate within the preset determination duration to form a flow rate fluctuation value;

[0089] A temporary determination unit, which is respectively connected to the temperature fluctuation calculation unit and the flow rate fluctuation calculation unit, for determining a number of temporary transformers according to the temperature fluctuation value and the flow rate fluctuation value.

[0090] The preset determination duration is a time interval for calculating the temperature fluctuation value and the flow rate fluctuation value, which depends on the operating characteristics of the transformer, the monitoring accuracy requirements, and the data acquisition frequency, and is usually set between 5 minutes and 1 hour. In this embodiment, it is set to 10 minutes, which can not only ensure the sufficiency of data acquisition, but also quickly respond to the changes in the transformer state and timely detect potential faults.

[0091] The temperature fluctuation value is obtained by calculating the standard deviation of the temperature of the winding within a preset determined duration; at the same time, the standard deviation of the cooling oil flow rate is calculated to obtain the flow rate fluctuation value; subsequently, abnormal transformers are screened out based on the temperature fluctuation value and the flow rate fluctuation value, and they are marked as temporary transformers.

[0092] By calculating the temperature fluctuation value and the flow rate fluctuation value within a preset determined duration and screening out temporary transformers based on this, it is possible to quickly identify transformers that may have faults, provide a preliminary screening result for subsequent fault diagnosis, improve the detection efficiency and accuracy of the system, and reduce unnecessary detection workload.

[0093] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 as shown, which is the determination logic diagram for the temporary determination unit of the present embodiment to determine the temporary transformer;

[0094] The temporary determination unit includes:

[0095] A temperature fluctuation curve drawing subunit, which is used to draw the change curve of the temperature fluctuation value within the preset determined duration to form a temperature fluctuation curve;

[0096] A flow rate fluctuation curve drawing subunit, which is used to draw the change curve of the flow rate fluctuation value within the preset determined duration to form a flow rate fluctuation curve;

[0097] A synchronization degree calculation subunit, which is respectively connected to the temperature fluctuation curve drawing subunit and the flow rate fluctuation curve drawing subunit, and is used to calculate the cosine similarity of the temperature fluctuation curve and the flow rate fluctuation curve to form a change synchronization degree;

[0098] A temporary determination subunit, which is connected to the synchronization degree calculation subunit, and is used to determine the transformer under test as the temporary transformer when the change synchronization degree is less than a preset synchronization degree threshold, so as to determine a number of the temporary transformers.

[0099] The preset determined duration is the time interval used by the system when calculating the temperature fluctuation value and the flow rate fluctuation value and evaluating the change synchronization degree, which depends on the operating characteristics of the transformer, the monitoring accuracy requirements, and the data acquisition frequency, and is usually set between 10 minutes and 1 hour. In this embodiment, it is set to 30 minutes, which can not only ensure the sufficiency of data acquisition but also quickly respond to the change of the transformer state and timely detect potential faults.

[0100] The preset synchronization degree threshold is a key parameter for judging the synchronization of the temperature fluctuation curve and the flow rate fluctuation curve. When the change synchronization degree is lower than this threshold, it indicates that there may be abnormalities in the transformer. Depending on the operating characteristics of the transformer, the statistical analysis of historical data, and the requirements for fault detection sensitivity, it is usually set between 0.5 and 0.8. In this embodiment, it is set to 0.7, which can effectively reduce false alarms while promptly detecting abnormal situations where the temperature and flow rate changes are not synchronized, improving the accuracy and reliability of fault detection.

[0101] By separately plotting the temperature fluctuation curve and the flow rate fluctuation curve within a preset determined time period, visually presenting the change trends of the temperature and the flow rate; calculating the change synchronization degree based on the cosine similarity of these two curves; when the change synchronization degree is lower than the preset synchronization degree threshold, marking the transformer to be tested as a temporary transformer, thereby screening out the transformers that may have problems.

[0102] By plotting the temperature fluctuation curve and the flow rate fluctuation curve within a preset determined time period and calculating the cosine similarity between the two to form the change synchronization degree, it can effectively evaluate the correlation between the temperature and flow rate changes of the transformer. When the change synchronization degree is lower than the preset synchronization degree threshold, the system marks the transformer to be tested as a temporary transformer, providing a basis for further detection, improving the accuracy of fault detection, reducing the false alarm rate, optimizing the monitoring resource allocation, improving the monitoring efficiency, and reducing the operation and maintenance costs. At the same time, the visualization curve provides intuitive data support for the operation and maintenance personnel, facilitating the quick understanding and analysis of the operating state of the transformer, enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the system, and providing a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the power system.

[0103] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 as shown, which is the decision logic diagram for the overheat transformer determined by the decision module of this embodiment;

[0104] Specifically, the overheat determination module includes:

[0105] A correlation coefficient calculation unit for calculating the correlation coefficient between the DC resistance and the copper loss value within a preset determination time period to form a correlation coefficient;

[0106] A determination unit connected to the correlation coefficient calculation unit for determining the temporary transformer as the overheat transformer according to the correlation coefficient and a preset correlation coefficient threshold to form a number of overheat transformers.

[0107] The preset determination duration refers to the time interval used to analyze the relationship between the DC resistance and the copper loss value, which depends on the stability of the transformer operation data, the monitoring accuracy requirements, and the data acquisition frequency. It is usually set between 10 minutes and 1 hour. In this embodiment, it is set to 20 minutes, which can ensure that enough data points are collected to improve the accuracy of calculating the correlation coefficient, and can complete the determination in a relatively short time, so as to quickly capture the abnormal changes in the transformer state, timely detect potential overheating faults, and effectively improve the fault diagnosis efficiency and reliability of the system.

[0108] The preset correlation coefficient threshold is a key parameter used to judge the strength of the correlation between the DC resistance and the copper loss value. When the calculated correlation coefficient exceeds this threshold, it indicates that there is a significant positive correlation between the two, which may indicate that the transformer has an overheating problem. It depends on the statistical characteristics of the transformer operation data, the monitoring accuracy requirements, and the requirements for the sensitivity of fault detection. It is usually set between 0.5 and 0.9. In this embodiment, it is set to 0.7, which can effectively reduce false alarms while timely detecting the significant positive correlation between the DC resistance and the copper loss value, so as to accurately identify overheating transformers and improve the accuracy and reliability of fault detection.

[0109] By calculating the correlation coefficient between the DC resistance and the copper loss value within the preset determination duration, and then, based on the calculated correlation coefficient and the preset correlation coefficient threshold, the temporary transformers are evaluated to obtain several overheating transformers.

[0110] By calculating the correlation coefficient between the DC resistance and the copper loss value and making a determination in combination with the preset threshold, overheating transformers can be effectively identified, the accuracy of fault diagnosis can be significantly improved, and the false alarm rate can be reduced. This not only optimizes the allocation of monitoring resources and improves the monitoring efficiency, but also realizes a rapid response to the change of the transformer state by reasonably setting the preset determination duration, and timely discovers potential faults.

[0111] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 as shown, which is the determination logic diagram for the determination unit of this embodiment to determine overheating transformers;

[0114] A determination sub-unit, which is connected to the coefficient comparison sub-unit, and is used to determine the temporary transformer as the overheating transformer when the coefficient comparison result is that the correlation coefficient is greater than the preset correlation coefficient threshold, and form several overheating transformers.

[0115] By comparing the correlation coefficient with a preset correlation coefficient threshold, a comparison result is obtained; when the correlation coefficient is greater than the preset threshold, it indicates that there is a significant positive correlation between the DC resistance and the copper loss value. At this time, it is determined that the transformer has experienced a winding overheating event, and it is marked as an overheated transformer.

[0116] By comparing the correlation coefficient with the preset correlation coefficient threshold, overheated transformers can be quickly and accurately identified, greatly improving the accuracy and efficiency of fault diagnosis, effectively reducing false alarms, avoiding misjudgment caused by single-parameter detection, and at the same time quickly responding to abnormal changes in the transformer state, timely capturing overheating faults, and reducing the risk of fault expansion.

[0117] Specifically, the fault determination module includes:

[0118] The first fault determination unit is used to determine all the transformers within the circular area with a preset radius and the adjacent overheated transformer as fault transformers when the distance is less than the minimum value of the preset distance range, so as to determine a number of fault transformers;

[0119] The second fault determination unit is used to determine a number of fault transformers according to the acetylene content of each transformer to be tested within the preset determination range in the temporary inspection route between the adjacent overheated transformers when the distance is greater than the maximum value of the preset distance range.

[0120] The preset distance range refers to the key parameter for judging the distance between adjacent overheated transformers, which depends on the layout of the transformers, the fault propagation characteristics, and the monitoring accuracy requirements. It is usually set between 1 meter and 5 meters. In this embodiment, it is set between 3 meters and 4 meters, which can effectively reduce false alarms while timely discovering potential fault areas between adjacent overheated transformers, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of fault diagnosis.

[0121] The preset determination range refers to the circular coverage area centered on the inspection device, which depends on the layout of the transformers, the fault propagation characteristics, and the monitoring accuracy requirements. It is usually set between 5 square meters and 15 square meters. In this embodiment, it is set to 10 square meters, which can effectively cover the potential fault areas around the overheated transformer, ensuring the comprehensiveness and accuracy of fault diagnosis, while avoiding over-expanding the fault range and reducing the false alarm rate.

[0122] By comparing the distance between any two adjacent overheated transformers with a preset distance range, a comparison result is obtained; when the comparison result indicates that the distance between adjacent overheated transformers is less than the minimum value of the preset distance range, the system will take the overheated transformer as the center and determine all the transformers within the preset radius as faulty transformers; meanwhile, when the distance between adjacent overheated transformers is greater than the preset distance range, the system will further determine the faulty transformers based on the acetylene content of each transformer to be tested within a preset determined range in the temporary inspection route between the adjacent overheated transformers.

[0123] By setting a preset distance range and a preset radius, it is possible to effectively identify and determine faulty transformers, significantly improving the accuracy and efficiency of fault diagnosis. When the distance between adjacent overheated transformers is less than the minimum value of the preset distance range, all the transformers within the preset radius are determined as faulty transformers; when the distance between adjacent overheated transformers is greater than the maximum value of the preset distance range, based on the acetylene content of each transformer to be tested within a preset determined range in the temporary inspection route between the adjacent overheated transformers, the faulty transformers are further determined, thus comprehensively covering potential fault areas and avoiding missing fault points.

[0124] Specifically, the second fault determination unit includes:

[0125] An acetylene content fluctuation calculation sub-unit, which is used to calculate the standard deviation of the acetylene content of the overheated transformer and each transformer to be tested respectively, and form an acetylene content fluctuation value;

[0126] A second fault determination sub-unit, which is connected to the acetylene content fluctuation calculation sub-unit, and is used to determine that both the overheated transformer and the transformers to be tested are faulty transformers when the acetylene content fluctuation value is less than the preset acetylene content fluctuation threshold; and determine that only the overheated transformer is a faulty transformer when the acetylene content fluctuation value is greater than or equal to the preset acetylene content fluctuation threshold.

[0127] The preset acetylene content fluctuation threshold is a key parameter for judging whether the acetylene content fluctuation of each transformer is abnormal, depending on the normal fluctuation range of the acetylene content during the operation of the transformer, the statistical analysis of historical data, and the requirements for the sensitivity of fault detection. It is usually set between 0.1 μL / L and 1.0 μL / L. In this embodiment, it is set to 0.5 μL / L, which can effectively distinguish normal fluctuations and abnormal fluctuations, avoiding misjudgment caused by small fluctuations in acetylene content and timely detecting significant changes in acetylene content caused by faults, improving the accuracy and reliability of fault diagnosis.

[0128] By calculating the standard deviation of the acetylene content of the overheated transformer and the transformer under test, the acetylene content fluctuation value is formed; subsequently, according to the comparison between the acetylene content fluctuation value and the preset acetylene content fluctuation threshold, if the acetylene content fluctuation value is less than the preset acetylene content fluctuation threshold, both the overheated transformer and the transformer under test are determined as faulty transformers; if the acetylene content fluctuation value is greater than or equal to the preset acetylene content fluctuation threshold, only the overheated transformer is determined as a faulty transformer.

[0129] By calculating the standard deviation of the acetylene content of the overheated transformer and the transformer under test to form the acetylene content fluctuation value and comparing it with the preset acetylene content fluctuation threshold, it is possible to effectively distinguish faulty transformers from normal transformers. When the fluctuation value is less than the preset threshold, it indicates that the acetylene content of the transformer under test is close to that of the overheated transformer, and the system determines both as faulty transformers; when the fluctuation value is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, it indicates that the acetylene content of the transformer under test is quite different from that of the overheated transformer, and only the overheated transformer is determined as a faulty transformer, improving the accuracy and reliability of fault diagnosis, reducing the false alarm rate, optimizing the allocation of monitoring resources at the same time, improving the operation and maintenance efficiency, and providing a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the power system.

[0130] Specifically, the adjustment module includes:

[0131] A quantity fluctuation calculation unit for calculating the standard deviation of the number of faulty transformers within a preset adjustment duration to form a quantity fluctuation value;

[0132] An adjustment unit connected to the quantity fluctuation calculation unit for adjusting the preset synchronization threshold according to the quantity fluctuation value to form an adjusted synchronization threshold.

[0133] The preset adjustment duration is the time interval for collecting the number of faulty transformers required to adjust the preset synchronization threshold, depending on the operating characteristics of the transformer, the fault occurrence frequency, and the monitoring accuracy requirements, and is usually set between 10 minutes and 1 hour. In this embodiment, it is set to 30 minutes, which can effectively balance the sufficiency of data collection and the system's response speed, ensure the accuracy of calculation, quickly respond to changes in the number of faults, adjust the preset synchronization threshold in a timely manner, and improve the adaptability and reliability of the system.

[0134] By calculating the standard deviation of the number of faulty transformers within the preset adjustment duration, the quantity fluctuation value is obtained; subsequently, the preset synchronization threshold is adjusted according to the quantity fluctuation value to obtain the adjusted synchronization threshold.

[0135] By calculating the standard deviation of the number of faulty transformers within a preset adjustment duration to form a quantity fluctuation value, and adjusting the preset synchronization threshold accordingly, the system can dynamically optimize the detection parameters according to the change in the number of faults, thereby improving the adaptability and reliability of the system. This not only enhances the stability of the system under different working conditions but also can promptly respond to the change in the number of faults to ensure the accuracy of fault diagnosis.

[0136] Specifically, the adjustment unit includes:

[0137] A quantity fluctuation deviation calculation sub-unit, which is used to calculate the relative deviation between the quantity fluctuation value and the preset quantity fluctuation threshold to form a quantity fluctuation deviation when the quantity fluctuation value is greater than the preset quantity fluctuation threshold.

[0138] An adjustment sub-unit, which is connected to the quantity fluctuation deviation calculation sub-unit and is used to increase the preset synchronization threshold according to the quantity fluctuation deviation and the preset adjustment coefficient to form an adjusted synchronization threshold when the quantity fluctuation deviation is greater than the preset quantity fluctuation deviation threshold.

[0139] The preset quantity fluctuation threshold is a key parameter for judging whether the fluctuation of the number of faulty transformers is abnormal, which depends on the statistical analysis of historical data of the number of faulty transformers, the monitoring accuracy requirements, and the demand for fault detection sensitivity. It is usually set between 0.5 and 2.0. In this embodiment, it is set to 1.0, which can effectively reduce false alarms while promptly detecting significant fluctuations in the number of faults, improving the adaptability and reliability of the system.

[0140] The preset quantity fluctuation deviation threshold is a key parameter for judging whether the quantity fluctuation deviation is abnormal, which depends on the statistical analysis of historical data of the quantity fluctuation of faults, the monitoring accuracy requirements, and the demand for fault detection sensitivity. It is usually set between 10% and 30%. In this embodiment, it is set to 20%, which can effectively distinguish normal fluctuations from abnormal fluctuations, avoiding misjudgment caused by minor fluctuations and promptly detecting deviations caused by significant changes in the number of faults, improving the adaptability and reliability of the system.

[0141] The preset adjustment coefficient is a key parameter for adjusting the preset synchronization threshold, which depends on the adjustment strategy of the system, the monitoring accuracy requirements, and the demand for fault detection sensitivity. It is usually set between 0.1 and 0.5. In this embodiment, it is set to 0.3, which can effectively reduce false alarms while promptly adjusting the preset synchronization threshold, improving the adaptability and reliability of the system.

[0142] When the quantity fluctuation value exceeds the preset quantity fluctuation threshold, calculate the relative deviation between the quantity fluctuation value and the preset quantity fluctuation threshold to obtain the quantity fluctuation deviation. Subsequently, if the quantity fluctuation deviation exceeds the preset quantity fluctuation deviation threshold, the system will increase the preset synchronization threshold according to the quantity fluctuation deviation and the preset adjustment coefficient to form an adjusted synchronization threshold.

[0143] By calculating the quantity fluctuation deviation and dynamically adjusting the preset synchronization threshold accordingly, the system can automatically optimize the detection parameters according to the change of the fault quantity, improve the adaptability and reliability of the system, enable it to better meet the fault detection requirements under different working conditions. At the same time, dynamically adjusting the threshold can reduce the false alarm rate, ensure the accuracy of fault diagnosis, optimize the allocation of monitoring resources, improve the operation and maintenance efficiency, and provide more powerful guarantee for the stable operation of the power system.

[0152] Send out a warning according to the faulty transformers determined based on the adjusted synchronization threshold.

[0153] The temperature of the windings of each transformer to be measured in the monitoring area is collected in real time by optical fiber temperature sensors installed at key positions of the transformer windings, and the cooling oil flow rate and acetylene content of each transformer to be measured in the monitoring area are collected in real time by a multi-sensor inspection device; First, a number of temporary transformers are determined according to these parameters and a preset synchronization threshold; Then, the DC resistance and copper loss values of these temporary transformers are collected in real time along the temporary inspection route, and then a number of overheated transformers are determined; Subsequently, in combination with the distance and acetylene content between adjacent overheated transformers, and a preset radius, a number of faulty transformers are determined; The preset synchronization threshold is dynamically adjusted according to the number of faulty transformers to form an adjusted synchronization threshold; Finally, a warning is issued for the faulty transformers determined based on the adjusted synchronization threshold.

[0154] By collecting the key operating parameters of the transformer in real time by multiple sensors and combining with the preset threshold and dynamic adjustment mechanism, the efficient monitoring and early warning of transformer faults are realized; The accuracy and reliability of fault diagnosis are improved, the false alarm rate is reduced, the allocation of monitoring resources is optimized, and the operation and maintenance costs are reduced; By multi-parameter monitoring, dynamically adjusting the threshold and optimizing the inspection path, the problems of inaccurate fault diagnosis and response delay caused by the extreme high-altitude environment in the prior art are overcome.
