[0026] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided to make this disclosure more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the concept of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a full understanding of embodiments of this disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the technical solutions of this disclosure can be practiced with one or more of the specific details omitted, or other methods, components, apparatus, steps, etc., can be employed. In other instances, well-known technical solutions are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring various aspects of this disclosure.

[0034] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted. Some block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities may be implemented in software, in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0035] The flowcharts shown in the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative and do not necessarily include all steps. For example, some steps may be broken down, while others may be combined or partially combined; therefore, the actual execution order may change depending on the specific circumstances. Furthermore, all terms such as "first," "second," and "third" used below are for distinction purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this disclosure.

[0036] Figure 1 This illustration schematically depicts a health status assessment scheme for pile foundation groups in offshore photovoltaic systems, based on an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure. (Reference) Figure 1 The health status assessment scheme for offshore photovoltaic pile foundation groups according to this disclosure may include a critical pile foundation identification process and a pile foundation group health status assessment process. It is understood that the critical pile foundation identification process can be a pre-executed process; once the critical pile foundations are identified, subsequent analyses can utilize them. The pile foundation group health status assessment process, on the other hand, is a process performed when the assessment requirement arises.

[0037] For the pre-executed critical pile foundation identification process, multiple critical pile foundations can be selected from each pile foundation using the environmental characteristics corresponding to each pile foundation in offshore photovoltaic systems. For each critical pile foundation, in order to obtain relevant data, detection points can be identified on the critical pile foundation, and sensing devices can be deployed at these points. The sensing devices are used to acquire raw evaluation data, which may include at least one of the following types: stress data, vibration data, and displacement data.

[0038] For the health status assessment process of the pile foundation group, firstly, in response to the initiation of the pile foundation group health status assessment task, raw assessment data can be acquired from the sensing devices deployed on the key pile foundations. Next, a multi-dimensional feature extraction process can be performed on this data to determine the assessment features of each dimension of the key pile foundations. Subsequently, the assessment features of each dimension can be fused, and the fused features can be input into a trained classifier to determine the health status assessment result of the key pile foundations. Finally, the health status assessment results of all key pile foundations can be combined to determine the overall health status assessment result of the pile foundation group in the offshore photovoltaic system.

[0039] like Figure 1As shown, after determining the health status assessment results of the pile foundation group in offshore photovoltaic systems, operations such as outputting assessment results, issuing alarms, and maintenance can also be performed, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions on these operations.

[0040] The following describes the method for assessing the health status of pile foundation groups in offshore photovoltaic systems according to embodiments of this disclosure. It should be noted that each step of the method for assessing the health status of pile foundation groups in offshore photovoltaic systems according to embodiments of this disclosure can be performed by electronic devices, such as servers, personal computers, mobile devices, etc., and this disclosure does not impose any limitations on this.

[0041] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of the method for assessing the health status of pile foundation groups in offshore photovoltaic systems is shown. (Reference) Figure 2 The health status assessment method for offshore photovoltaic (PV) pile foundation groups may include the following steps:

[0042] S20. In advance, multiple key pile foundations are selected from each pile foundation by utilizing the environmental characteristics corresponding to each pile foundation in the offshore photovoltaic system, the detection points on the key pile foundations are determined, and sensing devices are deployed at the detection points.

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the location of the detection points on the critical pile foundation can be determined manually. Furthermore, considering the marine pile foundation environment, to address failure risks such as corrosion, redundant detection points can be configured, i.e., 20% to 30% more detection points than theoretically designed.

[0044] The sensing devices can be used to acquire raw assessment data. Specifically, the raw assessment data may include stress data, vibration data, and displacement data of key pile foundations. It is understood that the sensing devices described in this disclosure can be a collection of various sensing and detection units. In addition, compared with this integrated collection, sensing devices can also be distributed at detection points, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0045] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, key pile foundations can be selected based on the stress conditions of each pile foundation. See below for further details. Figure 3 These embodiments are described below.

[0046] In step S300, geometric models of each pile foundation and the seabed surface in the offshore photovoltaic system are created using 3D modeling software.

[0047] Specifically, through manual operation, the geometric models of each pile foundation and the seabed surface in the offshore photovoltaic system are created using the various modules of 3D modeling software. The specific parameter data can be obtained based on project design and on-site data, such as the location of each pile foundation, the type of each pile foundation, the depth of the seabed surface, and the soil type of the seabed surface.

[0048] In step S302, the geometric model is imported into the material point method software, and after applying various loads, the software is used to perform calculations to obtain the calculation results.

[0049] In these embodiments, the loads include, for example, ocean current loads, wind loads, and the photovoltaic system's own load, and this disclosure does not limit this. Furthermore, for data accuracy, these loads can be obtained through multiple on-site measurements.

[0050] After identifying various loads, these load constraints can be manually input into a computer, where the material point method software will perform calculations to obtain the results.

[0051] In step S304, ParaView is used to process the calculation results to obtain the load-bearing cloud diagram of each pile foundation.

[0052] Next, several key pile foundations can be selected from each pile foundation based on the load stress cloud diagram. For details, please refer to steps S306 and S308.

[0053] In step S306, based on the load stress cloud map, each pile foundation is sorted in descending order of load stress to obtain the sorting result.

[0054] In step S308, the top n pile foundations are selected as key pile foundations from the sorting results.

[0055] Specifically, n is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0056] According to other embodiments of this disclosure, key pile foundations can be selected directly based on the soil type of the seabed surface. Specifically, pile foundations in areas with thin seabed soil layers, steep slopes, or reefs can be selected as key pile foundations.

[0057] According to further embodiments of this disclosure, key piles can also be selected based on the relative positions of the piles in the pile array. For example, the center pile and corner piles in the pile array can be selected as key piles. As another example, one pile can be selected every four piles as a key pile.

[0058] S22. In response to the initiation of the pile foundation health status assessment task, acquire raw assessment data from the sensing devices deployed on the critical pile foundations.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the initiation of a pile foundation group health assessment task can be used as a condition for the current execution of the algorithm process.

[0060] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, it can be determined whether to initiate a health assessment task for a pile foundation group based on meteorological and hydrological conditions.

[0061] First, the electronic device can acquire current meteorological and hydrological information, which includes one or a combination of information such as temperature, wind force, wind speed, wind direction, ocean current intensity, ocean current direction, and rain / snow. Next, the electronic device can compare the current meteorological and hydrological information with standard meteorological and hydrological information. If the current meteorological and hydrological information is abnormal compared to the standard meteorological and hydrological information, a pile foundation health status assessment task is initiated; if the current meteorological and hydrological information is within the normal range, the pile foundation health status assessment task is not initiated. Furthermore, this disclosure does not restrict the information comparison process or the criteria for determining abnormality; these can all be predefined. It is understood that the aforementioned standard meteorological and hydrological information, corresponding to the current meteorological and hydrological information, can also include one or a combination of information such as temperature, wind force, wind speed, wind direction, ocean current intensity, ocean current direction, and rain / snow.

[0062] According to other embodiments of this disclosure, the pile foundation group health status assessment task can be initiated at predetermined time intervals (e.g., once a week, every half month, once a month, etc.). That is, when the predetermined task initiation time arrives, the electronic device automatically initiates the pile foundation group health status assessment task.

[0063] When a pile foundation health status assessment task is initiated, electronic equipment can acquire raw assessment data from sensors deployed on key pile foundations. It is understood that the raw assessment data is the original sensor data currently collected by the sensors.

[0064] S24. Perform a multi-dimensional feature extraction process on the original assessment data to determine the assessment characteristics of each dimension of the key pile foundation.

[0065] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, firstly, the stress data, vibration data, and displacement data included in the original evaluation data can be normalized. Normalization ensures consistent rules for subsequent data calculations, facilitating computation. Next, on one hand, a first neural network can be used to extract features from the normalized stress data to determine the stress evaluation characteristics of the key pile foundation; on the other hand, a second neural network can be used to extract features from the normalized vibration data to determine the vibration evaluation characteristics of the key pile foundation; furthermore, a third neural network can be used to extract features from the normalized displacement data to determine the displacement evaluation characteristics of the key pile foundation.

[0066] The first, second, and third neural networks mentioned above are all convolutional neural networks built based on convolutional layers and pooling layers. This disclosure does not limit their network structure or training process.

[0067] S26. The evaluation features of each dimension are fused together, and the fused features are input into the trained classifier to determine the health status assessment results of the key pile foundation.

[0068] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, firstly, the stress assessment characteristics of the critical pile foundation can be converted into a first assessment vector, the vibration assessment characteristics of the critical pile foundation can be converted into a second assessment vector, and the displacement assessment characteristics of the critical pile foundation can be converted into a third assessment vector.

[0069] Next, the first evaluation vector, the second evaluation vector, and the third evaluation vector can be concatenated end to end to construct a total one-dimensional evaluation vector, which serves as the fused feature.

[0070] Then, the fused features are input into the trained classifier to determine the health status assessment results of the key pile foundation.

[0071] According to other embodiments of this disclosure, the stress assessment features, vibration assessment features, and displacement assessment features of the critical pile foundation can be concatenated along their feature dimensions to form multi-dimensional input features. These multi-dimensional features are then input into a trained classifier to determine the health status assessment result of the critical pile foundation. It should be noted that the classifiers in these embodiments are not the same as the classifier described above that uses a one-dimensional assessment vector as input; at least in terms of the number of neurons in the classifier's input layer and the parameter configuration, they are different machine learning models.

[0072] S28. Combine the health status assessment results of all key pile foundations to determine the health status assessment results of the pile foundation group in offshore photovoltaic projects.

[0073] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the health status assessment results of the critical pile foundation include a health status assessment level. For example, the health level can be characterized by grades A, B, C, and D, with grade A being the healthiest and grade D being the least healthy. Alternatively, the health level can be characterized by normal, warning, or failure. This disclosure does not impose any limitations on this.

[0074] In this scenario, electronic devices can identify the target critical pile with the lowest health status assessment level from all critical pile health status assessment results, and determine the health status assessment result of the target critical pile as the health status assessment result of the pile group in offshore photovoltaic.

[0075] In addition, the health status of the pile foundation group can be characterized by multiple key pile foundations. Taking five key pile foundations as an example, similar health status assessment results such as 4A1B, 3A1B1C, and 5A can be formed.

[0076] Furthermore, after obtaining the health status assessment results of the offshore photovoltaic central pile foundation group, the electronic equipment can also perform operations such as outputting assessment results, issuing alarms, and performing maintenance, which are not limited in this disclosure.

[0077] It should be noted that although the steps of the method in this disclosure are described in a specific order in the accompanying drawings, this does not require or imply that the steps must be performed in that specific order, or that all the steps shown must be performed to achieve the desired result. Additional or alternative steps may be omitted, multiple steps may be combined into one step, and / or a step may be broken down into multiple steps.

[0078] Furthermore, this example embodiment also provides a health status assessment device for offshore photovoltaic pile foundation groups.

[0079] Figure 4 A block diagram schematically illustrates a health status assessment device for pile foundation groups in offshore photovoltaic systems, representing an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure. (Reference) Figure 4 The offshore photovoltaic pile foundation group health status assessment device 4 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure may include a key pile foundation determination module 41, a data acquisition module 43, a feature extraction module 45, a first assessment module 47, and a second assessment module 49.

[0080] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the key pile foundation determination module 41 can be used to create geometric models of each pile foundation and the seabed surface in offshore photovoltaic using three-dimensional modeling software; import the geometric model into the material point method software, apply various loads and perform software calculations to obtain calculation results; process the calculation results using ParaView to obtain load stress cloud diagrams of each pile foundation; and select multiple key pile foundations from each pile foundation based on the load stress cloud diagrams.

[0081] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the critical pile foundation determination module 41 can be used to sort each pile foundation in descending order of load force based on the load force cloud map to obtain a sorting result; and select the first n pile foundations as critical pile foundations from the sorting result; where n is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0082] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the data acquisition module 43 can be used to acquire current meteorological and hydrological information; compare the current meteorological and hydrological information with standard meteorological and hydrological information; and if the current meteorological and hydrological information is abnormal compared to the standard meteorological and hydrological information, initiate a pile foundation group health status assessment task.

[0083] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the feature extraction module 45 can be used to perform data normalization processing on the stress data, vibration data and displacement data contained in the original evaluation data respectively; use a first neural network to extract features from the normalized stress data to determine the stress evaluation features of the key pile foundation; use a second neural network to extract features from the normalized vibration data to determine the vibration evaluation features of the key pile foundation; and use a third neural network to extract features from the normalized displacement data to determine the displacement evaluation features of the key pile foundation.

[0084] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the first evaluation module 47 can be used to convert the stress evaluation features of the key pile foundation into a first evaluation vector; convert the vibration evaluation features of the key pile foundation into a second evaluation vector; convert the displacement evaluation features of the key pile foundation into a third evaluation vector; and connect the first evaluation vector, the second evaluation vector, and the third evaluation vector end to end to construct a total one-dimensional evaluation vector as the fused features.

[0085] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the health status assessment result of the critical pile foundation includes a health status assessment level. The second assessment module 49 can be used to determine the target critical pile foundation with the lowest health status assessment level from all the health status assessment results of the critical pile foundations; and to determine the health status assessment result of the target critical pile foundation as the health status assessment result of the pile foundation group in the offshore photovoltaic system.

[0086] Since the functional modules of the offshore photovoltaic pile foundation health status assessment device of this embodiment are the same as those in the above-described method embodiments, they will not be described again here.
