Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an anode saturable reactor, and particularly to an intelligent shutdown decision-making method based on the prediction of the looseness of the anode saturable reactor. Background Art
[0002] In the converter valve of a high-voltage direct current transmission system, the anode saturable reactor plays a key role: as a non-linear inductor, it can effectively limit the high current rise rate that appears at the initial stage of thyristor turn-on, thereby realizing the protection of thyristors. However, due to the magnetostrictive effect, this reactor will generate violent vibrations, which may cause the connection bolts between it and the valve tower to gradually loosen. It should be noted that such faults are often difficult to detect in the initial stage, but if the equipment continues to operate with faults, it may eventually lead to catastrophic damage consequences. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide an intelligent shutdown decision-making method based on the prediction of the looseness of the anode saturable reactor, which can dynamically decide the shutdown and maintenance time before the occurrence of faults, and balance production continuity and equipment safety.
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: an intelligent shutdown decision-making method based on the prediction of the looseness of the anode saturable reactor, including the following steps: S1. For anode saturable reactors of the same model, collect historical information at different operating times; S2. According to the historical information at different operating times, calculate the characteristic information of the anode saturable reactor, and convert the characteristic information into continuous time-series data with time tags; S3. Construct an LSTM network, and use the continuous time-series data with time tags to train the LSTM network to obtain a trained LSTM network as a prediction model for the looseness degree; S4. Obtain an intelligent shutdown decision based on the method of reinforcement learning.
[0005] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: the present invention can dynamically decide the shutdown and maintenance time before the occurrence of faults, and balance production continuity (avoiding frequent shutdowns) and equipment safety (avoiding major faults). The designed state space support monitoring system can be flexibly deployed at any time during the operation of the equipment. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0007] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following.
[0008] like Figure 1 As shown, an intelligent shutdown decision method based on loosening prediction of anode saturated reactor includes the following steps: S1. For the same type of anode saturated reactor, collect historical information of different operating times; Initial data acquisition: A predictive model is constructed based on historical operating data to anticipate potential faults during online monitoring. For anode saturation reactors of the same model installed at converter stations nationwide, multiple sets of samples are collected for different shutdown intervals (e.g., operating durations of 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 months). Soundprint data is collected immediately before shutdown using soundprint sensors installed on each reactor, and vibration acceleration data is collected in real time using a laser vibrometer. Furthermore, during shutdown inspections, a digital torque wrench is used to measure the loosening torque of the connecting bolts (i.e., the minimum torque at which the bolts begin to turn). The degree of bolt loosening is expressed as "(tightening torque - loosening torque) / tightening torque × 100%)."
[0009] S2. Calculate characteristic information of the anode saturated reactor based on historical information of different operating times and convert the characteristic information into continuous time series data with time tags; Sensor data: The voiceprint collection sensor obtains the voiceprint data of the day of the outage, and the laser vibrometer obtains the vibration acceleration data of the day of the outage; Degree of looseness: As the increase of looseness leads to accelerated failure, a nonlinear fault propagation model is defined, assuming that the degree of looseness L ( t ) changes with time t (unit: day) following the exponential growth law, , the discrete data can be fitted with nonlinear least squares method to obtain unknowns k The degree of looseness is the output side of the LSTM.
[0010] Vibration acceleration peak value A: As the mechanical structure loosens, the system stiffness decreases, resulting in a significant increase in vibration.
[0011] Growth is slow in the early stages and accelerates (non-linearly) in the later stages, consistent with exponential growth: a, b, c are fitting constants, and t is time.
[0012] Vibration acceleration high-frequency and low-frequency energy ratio B: , Ai 100* i Hz corresponds to the amplitude of the acceleration waveform. As the mechanical structure loosens, the proportion of high-frequency energy increases, and this feature gradually increases over time, showing a nonlinear growth trend. a, b, c are fitting constants, and t is time.
[0013] Sound pressure level C: As the bolts become looser, the sound pressure level of the anode saturated reactor noise will increase, usually showing a smooth increase over time. a, b, c are fitting constants, and t is time.
[0014] Voiceprint spectrum complexity D: , , A i 100* i Hz corresponds to the amplitude of the sound wave, R i 100* i Hz corresponds to the energy density of the sound wave. As the bolt loosens more, the structure of the spectrum becomes more complex, so this feature will gradually increase over time. a, b, c are fitting constants, and t is time.
[0015] S3. Build an LSTM network and train it using continuous time series data with time labels to obtain the trained LSTM network as a prediction model for the degree of looseness; Figure 2 As shown: LSTM input side: The input of LSTM is multimodal time series data, including the peak value and mean value of vibration acceleration (m / s 2 ), vibration acceleration high- and low-frequency energy ratio, sound pressure level (dB), and voiceprint spectrum complexity. Assume the time window is a sliding time window, with each time step corresponding to one day's data.
[0016] LSTM output side: looseness L S4. Based on reinforcement learning, intelligent shutdown decision is obtained, such as Figure 3 As shown: Building a reinforcement learning environment 4.1 State Space Design: The state space includes the current looseness and the rate of change of the looseness.
[0017] Status indication: s =( , );in L is the current predicted looseness, d L / d t is the rate of change of looseness; dL is the difference between the current predicted loosening degree and the loosening degree obtained from the previous prediction, d t is a time step, i.e., one day; 4.2 Action Space Design: Action a = 0 (Continue to run): In this action, the model decides to continue running the device until the next decision moment. The interval of the decision moment can be configured according to the device monitoring frequency, safety requirements, and maintenance management needs.
[0018] Action a = 1 (Stop for maintenance): In this action, the model decides to pause the device for necessary maintenance.
[0019] 4.3 Reward Function Design: Since a discontinuous and mutant reward function may cause the final decision of the agent to be bounded by a threshold, the reward function is designed as a continuous function. The Sigmoid function is introduced and used S to represent.
[0020] As Figure 4 shown, the mathematical expression of the Sigmoid function is: Reward function: The first line: Rate of change penalty (the first term): If the rate of change of the device loosening is large, the operation will be penalized to prevent failure to stop in time during rapid changes; Balance reward (the second term): When the loosening degree of the device is low and the rate of change is small, the device should be encouraged to continue running and a reward should be given; The second line: Device failure penalty: When the loosening degree of the device exceeds the threshold of 0.8, but the system fails to stop in time, the device fails and a penalty of -100 is given; The third line: Reward for timely shutdown (the first term): When the loosening degree is high, a reward should be given for timely shutdown to prevent failure; Penalty for frequent shutdowns (the second term): If the loosening degree is low, the system will be penalized when shutting down; Reflect the engineering concept of "timely maintenance" (the third and fourth terms): Form an optimal shutdown interval, the third term: Penalty for premature shutdown ( L <0.5), the fourth term: Reward for the best shutdown timing ( L close to 0.6).
[0021] 4.4 Selection of Reinforcement Learning Algorithm: Since the state space sThe dimension is small (three-dimensional) and it is a continuous space. The deep Q-network (DQN) is used in the process of training the model. The traditional Q-learning algorithm stores the state-action value function in the form of a Q-table, which is difficult to handle continuous state spaces. DQN can handle continuous states by means of neural network approximation. Therefore, the DQN algorithm is selected as the reinforcement learning algorithm for this study.
[0022] Carry out model training: 4.41 Initialize the deep Q-network structure Construct a neural network that takes the state vector as input and outputs the Q-values corresponding to two actions. The network contains 2 hidden layers, uses the ReLU activation function, and the output layer uses a linear activation to represent the Q-value. The initial weights are initialized with random numbers.
[0023] 4.42 The agent interacts with the environment to generate experiences Run multiple training cycles in the simulation environment. In each cycle, the agent selects actions according to the ε -greedy policy, and records the state transition (current state, executed action, obtained reward, next state) to form experience data.
[0024] 4.43 Experience replay and target network update Store the experience data generated during the interaction process in the replay buffer. Every set number of steps, randomly sample experiences from the replay pool for training the main Q-network. Use the mean squared error loss function to optimize the Q-value approximation process, and periodically synchronize the target network weights.
[0025] 4.44 Training convergence and policy extraction Repeat the above process until the average reward change of the model is <0.1 for 100 consecutive rounds. Finally, extract the trained model as the intelligent shutdown decision controller for online judgment of whether to perform equipment maintenance operations.
[0026] The present invention has been described and proven in detail here, enabling those skilled in the art to understand and apply the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. And as long as the changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention, they should all be within the protection scope of the appended claims of the present invention.
