Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear power, and in particular relates to a method, system and device for diagnosing faults of a steam turbine generator. Background Art

[0002] As an important power generation equipment, steam turbine generators are widely used in various fields, including power systems, industrial production, and aerospace, because of their advantages such as high-efficiency conversion, high-power output, good stability, and strong controllability. The shaft voltage is the result of the rotating parts (rotor) of the steam turbine generator being charged. It reflects the electromagnetic conditions inside the generator. If the generator suffers from a fault or abnormality, such as insulation damage, winding grounding, or excitation system problems, it will cause abnormal shaft voltage. At the same time, the vibration signal reflects the mechanical state of the rotating parts of the generator, including the vibration of the rotor, bearings, gears, etc. When the generator fails or parts wear, it will cause abnormal changes in vibration. For example, bearing wear will lead to an increase in high-frequency vibration, and gear failure may cause impact vibration. Therefore, the shaft voltage and vibration signal can be used as a basis for diagnosing the operating status of the steam turbine generator.

[0003] At present, the diagnosis method of steam turbine generator faults mainly relies on a single monitoring indicator or traditional signal processing technology, such as the analysis of shaft voltage and vibration signals.

[0031] The present disclosure is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a method for diagnosing a fault of a steam turbine generator shown in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method can be executed by a terminal device, wherein the terminal device can be a server, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, etc. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the type of the terminal device. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0035] Step 1: Acquire the shaft voltage signal and vibration signal of the steam turbine generator under different body and excitation system defects, and generate the shaft voltage spectrum and vibration spectrum of the steam turbine generator under different body and excitation system defects.

[0036] As an example of this embodiment, experimental schemes under different defect conditions can be formulated according to the defect types of the main body and excitation system to be studied. Figure 2As shown, a voltage sensor E-1 is installed on the rotor shaft 2 of the steam turbine generator, and multiple vibration sensors (for example, the first to eighth vibration sensors A-1 to A-8) are evenly installed circumferentially on the motor housing of the steam turbine generator, wherein the control device can obtain the shaft voltage signal and vibration signal of the steam turbine generator under the defects of the body and excitation system corresponding to the defect conditions under different defect conditions; the shaft voltage signal and vibration signal of the steam turbine generator under different defects of the body and excitation system are obtained by connecting the data acquisition unit to the sensor; based on the obtained shaft voltage signal and vibration signal, a voltage-time thermal curve and an acceleration-time thermal curve are formed with time as the horizontal axis and the shaft voltage / vibration data of each sensor as the vertical axis, thereby forming a shaft voltage and vibration spectrum of the steam turbine generator.

[0037] Step 2: fuse the shaft voltage spectrum and vibration spectrum of the steam turbine generator at the feature layer to form a spliced ​​feature vector.

[0038] As an example of this embodiment, in step 2, the obtained shaft voltage signal x e and vibration signal x v The multi-layer perceptron is used to extract feature vectors respectively, and then the extracted shaft voltage feature vector and vibration feature vector are weighted superimposed to obtain the concatenated feature vector y, thereby forming a consistent description of the equipment state containing shaft voltage and vibration information, as shown in the following formula:

[0039] y=λ 1 f(w 1 x e +b 1 )+λ 2 f(w 2 x v +b 2 )

[0043] As an example of this embodiment, in step 3, a steam turbine generator fault sample data set can be constructed based on the spliced ​​feature vector y, and the data before and after fusion should have a consistent description of the steam turbine generator state, that is, the steam turbine generator state before fusion is used to mark the steam turbine generator state after fusion. The steam turbine generator fault sample data set can be expanded using data enhancement technology. A classic deep learning classification network (AlexNet, VGG, GoogleNet, etc.) can be used to build a steam turbine generator fault diagnosis model, and the optimal parameter settings of the model can be set by a grid search parameter optimization method, and then the model is trained to obtain the prediction results of the steam turbine generator operating state of different models. Finally, the performance of different diagnostic models is compared by cluster analysis, AP curve and other methods, and on this basis, a steam turbine generator fault diagnosis method based on deep learning is proposed.
