[0041] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein with reference to the attached drawings. In the following description, the same numbers are used to indicate the same or similar elements, unless otherwise represented. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all the embodiments consistent with the application.

[0042] First, the terms involved in the application are explained:

[0043] Classification of main hidden dangers related to cable electrical safety:

[0044] 1. Exposed live parts:

[0045] Hidden danger: cable insulation layer damage, aging cracking, improper joint treatment (such as insulation tape falling off, joint box damage) leading to direct exposure of the conductor.

[0046] Risk: direct contact of personnel with exposed conductors, resulting in electric shock accidents.

[0047] Common scenarios: old lines, construction damage, animal gnawing, mechanical force damage.

[0048] 2. Insulation failure:

[0049] Hidden danger: aging: long-term use, high temperature, ultraviolet radiation leading to degradation of insulation material performance (brittle, cracking, resistance reduction). Inferior materials: use of cables or insulation materials that do not meet standards. Environmental erosion: moisture, corrosive gases / liquids, oil pollution eroding insulation. Overvoltage: lightning or operating overvoltage breaking down insulation.

[0050] Risk: insulation failure makes the originally uncharged metal sheath, armor layer or adjacent conductor live, or causes short circuit between conductors to produce arc, increasing the risk of indirect electric shock or arc burn.

[0051] 3. Mechanical damage:

[0052] Hidden danger: Construction excavation, heavy pressure, sharp instrument scratch, excessive bending, vehicle crushing, animal gnawing, etc. cause the outer sheath or insulation layer of the cable to be damaged.

[0053] Risk: Directly cause the conductor to be exposed or the insulation performance to be reduced, and cause electric shock or short circuit.

[0054] 4. Wet or water accumulation environment:

[0055] Hidden danger: Water enters the cable trench, pipe, joint box, or the cable is in a wet environment for a long time.

[0056] Risk: Moisture reduces the insulation resistance, which may cause the leakage current to increase, and even form a conductive path along the wet surface, increasing the risk of indirect electric shock (especially for metal sheathed or armored cables). It is extremely dangerous to bring a charged cable into water.

[0057] 5. Overheating:

[0058] Hidden danger: Overload: The current exceeds the safe load current of the cable. Poor heat dissipation: Dense cable laying, too thin pipe, too thick buried depth, covered by thermal insulation materials, etc. cause heat accumulation. Poor contact: loose connection of joints and terminals, increased resistance and heat generation.

[0059] Risk: High temperature accelerates insulation aging and failure, and even ignites surrounding combustible materials to cause fire. Insulation failure increases the risk of electric shock.

[0060] 6. Poor / missing grounding or equipotential bonding:

[0061] Hidden danger: Metal cable sheath, armored layer, cable bridge not reliably grounded or with too large grounding resistance. The exposed conductive parts of electrical equipment are not reliably connected to the protective conductor (PE). Special places (such as bathrooms, swimming pools) are not locally equipotential bonded.

[0062] Risk: When the equipment insulation fails and the shell is charged, the fault current cannot be effectively introduced into the ground, and the contact voltage may reach a dangerous level, causing serious indirect electric shock accidents.

[0063] 7. Failure or absence of protection devices:

[0064] Hidden danger: No residual current operated protective device (RCD / leakage protector) is installed or is not reasonably installed. The circuit breaker or fuse is not properly selected or fails to timely cut off the power supply in case of short circuit or overload.

[0065] Risk: In case of leakage, short circuit, or overload, the fault circuit cannot be timely cut off, and the dangerous state continues to exist.

[0066] 8. Improper design, installation, and maintenance:

[0067] Hidden danger: wrong cable selection (voltage grade, current-carrying capacity, environmental adaptability). Improper laying method (such as too small bending radius, excessive stretching, insufficient distance from heat source). Poor joint manufacturing process. Lack of regular inspection, testing and maintenance.

[0068] Risk: long-term safety hazards are buried, and the probability of various faults is increased.

[0069] 9. Insufficient safety distance:

[0070] Hidden danger: insufficient distance between cable and accessible area, or insufficient electrical clearance and creepage distance from non-insulated live parts (especially at high voltage).

[0071] Risk: accidental touch or through tools, metal objects, or in high humidity, contaminated environment, air breakdown or surface flashover.

[0072] The present application classifies the above 9 types according to characteristic types, classifies the characteristic indexes corresponding to the characteristic classification, forms the early prediction-precise classification-space positioning trinity protection of the original system threshold upgrade to hidden danger, and corrects the improper behavior of workers by using installation, construction and maintenance specifications for the rest of the safety distance, design, installation and maintenance, to prevent electric shock accidents.

[0073] The specific application scenario of the present application is the cable electrical safety protection scenario in industrial, public environment and home scenarios.

[0074] The present application provides a systematic monitoring method for the electrical safety performance of cables, which aims to solve the above technical problems of the prior art.

[0075] The technical solutions of the present application and how the present application solves the above technical problems will be described in detail below. The embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0076] Example 1:

[0077] I. Deploy sensors and edge computing gateways:

[0078] The hidden danger classification model is loaded with physical sensor types, including high-precision Hall sensors for monitoring current and voltage, CT coils for monitoring load fluctuations and harmonic distortion, distributed optical fibers (DTS) for monitoring temperature, wireless temperature measurement tags for monitoring joints and cable bending at intervals of ≤5 meters, capacitive humidity sensors for monitoring humidity, which are deployed in cable trenches / wells and joint boxes (insulation resistance drops when humidity > 80%), high-frequency HFCT / UHF sensors for monitoring partial discharge, which are used to detect discharge pulses ≥5pC (early signs of insulation deterioration), and MEMS accelerometers for monitoring vibration data, which are deployed above the direct-buried section of the cable and the bridge laying section. An edge computing gateway is also deployed for edge computing and data processing.

[0079] II. Simulate the generation of fault data with labels;

[0080] Before collecting sensor data to the edge computing node and preprocessing data output as real-time calculation temperature data, partial discharge data, resistance and capacitance data, and vibration data, the present application does not meet the data requirements for setting up the hidden danger classification model of the system due to the relatively small number of real cable fault samples. The present application uses an accurate mathematical model of the cable constructed in a virtual environment to simulate the response of the cable under the action of multiple physical fields such as electricity, heat, and mechanical force by applying different fault conditions (such as insulation damage, overload, and moisture). The fault type, location, and degree can be accurately controlled, thereby generating a large amount of fault data with labels. The principles and steps of generating fault data based on COMSOL Multiphysics software finite element simulation are as follows:

[0081] Step 1: Construct the layered structure of the cable: conductor, insulation layer, shielding layer, sheath, and joint components.

[0082] Step 2: Set the materials and corresponding properties of the cable layered structure, including setting the electrical conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient of the copper conductor, the thermal conductivity, dielectric constant, and loss tangent of the XLPE insulation layer, and the nonlinear thermal conductivity of the silicone rubber joint.

[0083] Step 3: Construct the coupling equations of the electric field, thermal field, and structural mechanics field.

[0084] The electric field is used to solve the current continuity equation, the thermal field is used to solve the heat conduction equation, and the structural mechanics field is used to solve the thermal expansion deformation equation.

[0085] Step 4: Import the fault scenarios, obtain simulation implementations of four different fault types, the simulation implementation of insulation aging is to reduce the insulation layer conductivity / increase tan delta value, or add air gap defects; the simulation implementation of joint loosening is to increase the pressure contact resistance; the simulation implementation of overload operation is to increase the conductor current density to 150%-200% of the design value, and the simulation implementation of moisture intrusion is to add moisture at the insulation layer defect.

[0086] Step 5: Set boundary conditions corresponding to the electrical field, thermal field and structural mechanics field respectively, apply rated current / voltage at the conductor end in the electrical field, convective heat dissipation on the outer surface of the cable in the thermal field, forced air cooling at the joint, and set fixed cable end displacement constraints in the structural mechanics field;

[0087] Step 6: Generate a usable machine learning dataset for training the hidden danger classification model;

[0088] It also includes mixing real data and obtained simulation data according to a certain proportion to train the hidden danger classification model.

[0089] Based on steps 1-6, the partial discharge simulation data instance is as follows:

[0090] Based on the above partial discharge (PD) simulation generated data;

[0091] Modeling in COMSOL:

[0092] Set a bubble defect with a diameter of 0.1mm in the insulation layer;

[0093] Apply a 10kV AC voltage;

[0094] Output results:

[0095] Discharge pulse waveform (amplitude, phase, frequency);

[0096] Spatial electromagnetic field distribution;

[0097] # Generate pulse sequence samples

[0098] pulses = []

[0099] for phase in [30°, 90°, 270°]: # Discharge phase in power frequency period

[0100] pulse = simulate_pd(voltage=10e3, defect_size=0.1e-3, phase)

[0101] pulses.append(pulse)

[0102] III. Collecting real-time sensor data

[0103] The real-time sensor data is collected to the edge computing node to preprocess the data, specifically including:

[0104] The edge computing gateway processes to obtain the following feature types:

[0105] The feature types corresponding to joint overheating: temperature rise rate (Delta T / Delta t), three-phase temperature difference imbalance, thermal image hot spot diffusion gradient;

[0106] The feature types corresponding to moisture intrusion: humidity-insulation resistance correlation coefficient, capacitance increment ratio;

[0107] The feature types corresponding to insulation aging: leakage current harmonic component, dielectric loss tangent (tan delta), partial discharge amplitude / frequency;

[0108] The feature types corresponding to mechanical damage: vibration spectrum energy entropy, abnormal shock wave detection data.

[0109] IV. Cloud model receives data output warning information

[0110] The preprocessed data is output to the cloud platform analysis engine for processing, which loads the hidden danger classification model and fault positioning model, and outputs the warning information to the warning dashboard. The warning information is processed by the operation and maintenance work order system according to the warning dashboard, specifically including:

[0111] Among them, the hidden danger classification model constructed by the application corresponds to different data application scenarios, wherein the LightGBM feature classification model is suitable for medium-scale data, and the medium-scale data is specifically 10^4 sample order of magnitude. The advantage of using the LightGBM feature classification model is that the selected features have high visualization and strong interpretability.

[0112] The 1D-CNN arc detection model is used to detect partial discharge pulse waveform and vibration spectrum data, corresponding to partial discharge data caused by insulation aging and moisture intrusion and vibration spectrum data caused by mechanical damage. The 1D-CNN arc detection model can automatically extract the spatiotemporal features in the data.

[0113] The LSTM-Attention gradual change analysis model is used to monitor temperature and current data in long time series, and can capture gradual change hazards based on long-term memory dependence;

[0114] The specific analysis of each model in the cloud is as follows:

[0115] In the LSTM-Attention gradual change analysis model of the application, the key event focusing on Attention is focused: the weight is assigned to the LSTM output of each time step, and the scoring function is set, which will automatically amplify the weight of abnormal inflection points such as temperature mutation + humidity increase in the model, weaken the smooth period data, facilitate intuitive display, and high readability. The Attention weight of each monitoring point is mapped to the cable network graph structure model for summary, and the output is the located sensor node and abnormal period.

[0116] Regarding the 1D-CNN arc detection model, the input data preprocessing is as follows: the preprocessing method of partial discharge data is 200MHz sampling, band-pass filtering pulse alignment, and the input dimension is 2000 points / pulse; the preprocessing method of vibration signal is STFT time-frequency diagram to 1D vector, and the input dimension is 512 points / frequency axis; the processing method of temperature mutation signal is difference processing T t -T t-1 , and the input dimension is 120 points / 10 minutes window;

[0117] As Figure 2 shown, the cascade-fusion involving the LightGBM feature classification model, the 1D-CNN arc detection model and the LSTM-Attention gradual change analysis model is implemented in the cloud as follows:

[0118] When the sampling frequency is greater than 1kHz, the original waveform data is sent to the 1D-CNN arc detection model;

[0119] When the sampling frequency is less than 1kHz, the feature vector is extracted and sent to the LightGBM feature classification model;

[0120] A 24-hour data buffer area is established, and the LSTM-Attention gradual change analysis is triggered periodically;

[0121] The special processing of high-frequency data is as follows:

[0122] After the 1D-CNN model recognizes the partial discharge feature:

[0123] Real-time alarm is triggered;

[0124] The discharge feature data is uploaded to the cloud LSTM training queue;

[0125] The partial discharge data is used to train the global trend model to improve the prediction ability of the system for slow discharge development;

[0126] The process of line-of-sight positioning of the fault positioning model based on graph neural network is as follows:

[0127] 1. Cable network modeling:

[0128] Sensors are abstracted as nodes, with features including: temperature, current, humidity, partial discharge;

[0129] Cable segments are abstracted as edges, with features including: length, cross-sectional area, laying depth, topological distance;

[0130] Hierarchical division according to physical topology:

[0131] Trunk lines are at the highest level (Level 0);

[0132] Branch lines are downgraded in turn (Level 1-N);

[0133] Each node records its own level and parent node;

[0134] 2. Hierarchical message passing:

[0135] Message generation: nodes fuse their own features and connected cable features to form message packets;

[0136] Intra-level transmission: nodes of the same level exchange current state information;

[0137] Cross-level transmission:

[0138] Sub-nodes upload aggregated information to parent nodes;

[0139] Parent nodes broadcast global state downward;

[0140] Fault probability calculation:

[0141] Each round of transmission updates the node state vector;

[0142] The final output is the fault probability value of each node;

[0143] 3. Positioning decision process:

[0144] Hierarchical fault probability = maximum value of all node probabilities in that level;

[0145] After determining the highest probability level, in that level:

[0146] Filter fault nodes exceeding the threshold value;

[0147] Sort by probability value to generate candidate positions;

[0148] Output includes: fault level, node ID list, position coordinates, probability distribution.

[0149] The cascade pipeline hybrid model of the LightGBM feature classification model and the 1D-CNN arc detection model cooperates to realize the label on the data;

[0150] It also loads a GNN model to process multiple sensor nodes, and aggregates and diverts data to the LightGBM feature classification model and the 1D-CNN arc detection model;

[0151] The data processing procedure for multiple feature dimensions in the 1D-CNN arc detection model is as follows:

[0152] Perform multi-scale convolutional feature extraction;

[0153] Execute feature fusion strategy:

[0154] When two feature dimensions are involved:

[0155] The PD pulse feature pd_branch and the vibration signal feature vib_branch are processed separately, and then the two types of features are fused using a formula:

[0156] merged = Concatenate()([Flatten()(pd_branch), vib_branch])

[0157] Based on the time series dimension, after feature classification, locate the data and find the probability of anomalies at each time point;

[0158] When three feature dimensions are involved, the procedure is as follows:

[0159] import torch

[0160] import torch.nn as nn

[0161] class CableFaultCNN(nn.Module):

[0162] def __init__(self, in_channels=3): # 3 types of sensors

[0190] self.classifier = nn.Linear(128, 4) # 4 classes of hazards

[0191] def forward(self, x):

[0192] b1 = self.branch1(x)

[0193] b2 = self.branch2(x)

[0194] b3 = self.branch3(x)

[0195] # unify time dimension

[0196] b1 = nn.functional.interpolate(b1, size=b3.size(2), mode='linear')

[0197] b2 = nn.functional.interpolate(b2, size=b3.size(2), mode='linear')

[0198] fused = torch.cat([b1, b2, b3],dim=1)

[0199] fused = self.fusion(fused).squeeze(2)

[0200] return self.classifier(fused)

[0201] The process of processing the label for the cascaded pipe mixed model of the LightGBM feature classification model and the 1D-CNN arc detection model is as follows:

[0202] According to the data frequency classification of the original sensor sampling data, the corresponding LightGBM feature classification model is used to load the sensor data less than 1 kHz for monitoring the aging / wet abnormal state of the cable, and the corresponding data is labeled with the aging / wet abnormal state label, which specifically includes:

[0203] First, the timestamps of different sensor data are aligned and normalized to the same interval to eliminate the dimension, and after preliminary labeling by an unsupervised method, the original sensor data type and the corresponding basic statistical features are constructed, the basic statistical features include mean, variance, maximum value, minimum value; The advanced statistical features include: time window features; correlation features; trend features; periodicity features; physical model features, set the importance of the features, then train the model according to the normal state, aging state and wet state three state labels, and label the data.

[0204] The processing procedure of GNN aggregated data for data aggregation of three sensor nodes is as follows:

[0205] As shown in the GNN aggregated data classification flowchart, the sensor node embedding vector is loaded into the 1D-CNN arc detection model for analysis, and the processed low-frequency data is loaded into the LightGBM feature classification model for analysis. Figure 1
