Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of equipment life prediction, and more particularly to a method, system, and storage medium for predicting the remaining life of large-scale power generation equipment. Background Art
[0002] With the increase in the service life, large-scale power generation equipment will inevitably experience problems such as wear and aging, which significantly increase the probability of equipment failures. Research shows that the proportion of failures caused by equipment aging in the total number of failures shows an increasing trend year by year, seriously threatening the safe and stable operation of the power system. Therefore, accurately predicting the remaining life of large-scale power generation equipment can not only help power enterprises make advance equipment maintenance and replacement plans in advance, reduce the possibility of failures, but also effectively optimize the operation management of equipment, extend the actual service life of equipment, and thus significantly reduce the operation cost.
[0003] Currently, the prediction methods for the remaining life of large-scale power generation equipment are mainly divided into three types: based on physical models, data-driven, and a combination of the two. The method based on physical models usually requires an in-depth understanding of the internal structure and operation mechanism of the equipment, and establishes an accurate physical model to simulate the aging process of the equipment. However, the structure of large-scale power generation equipment is extremely complex, and the operating environment is also ever-changing, resulting in great difficulty in establishing an accurate physical model, high computational cost of the model, and poor generality. The data-driven method relies on a large amount of historical data and uses machine learning and deep learning algorithms to mine the potential laws in the data. However, such methods are easily affected by data quality and noise, and the reliability and interpretability of the prediction results are poor. The method of combining physical models with data-driven, although integrating the advantages of both to a certain extent, still faces many technical problems in the process of model fusion, resulting in the prediction accuracy and stability being difficult to meet the requirements of actual engineering.
[0004] Therefore, developing a more accurate, efficient, and adaptable method for predicting the remaining life of large-scale power generation equipment has important practical significance for improving the operation reliability of the power system and reducing the operation and maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a method, system, and storage medium for predicting the remaining life of large-scale power generation equipment, reducing equipment failure downtime, improving equipment availability and production efficiency, and thus reducing the operation cost of enterprises.

[0033] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] An embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for predicting the remaining life of a large-scale power generation equipment, as Figure 1 shown, including the following steps:
[0035] Step 1: Obtain the life-related data of the large-scale power generation equipment, including design and manufacturing data, historical maintenance data, and historical usage status data, preprocess the life-related data, and construct a life-related data set of the large-scale power generation equipment;
[0036] Step 2: Build a digital twin model of the initial life of large-scale power generation equipment based on design and manufacturing data. Use a deep learning model to perform deep learning on historical maintenance data and historical usage data to generate a correlation curve of historical maintenance data - historical usage data, and determine the correlation parameters between the usage status and maintenance.
[0037] Step 3: Input the correlation parameters into the initial life digital twin model to generate a life prediction digital twin model. Input the current life-related parameters of the large-scale power generation equipment to be predicted into the life prediction digital twin model to generate the remaining life of the large-scale power generation equipment to be predicted.
[0038] Step 4: Determine the current operating condition of the large-scale power generation equipment to be predicted based on the current operating vibration data of the equipment. Judge whether the prediction of the remaining life of the large-scale power generation equipment to be predicted is accurate according to the operating condition. If it is not accurate, correct the loss function of the life prediction digital twin model and predict the remaining life again.
[0039] Further, in Step 4, install a vibration signal acquisition device RFID on the large-scale power generation equipment to be predicted. Collect the vibration signal of the large-scale power generation equipment to be predicted through the vibration signal acquisition device RFID and transmit it to the control terminal. The control terminal preprocesses the vibration signal to determine the current operating condition of the equipment.
[0040] Furthermore, determining the current operating condition of the equipment specifically includes the following steps:
[0041] Determine the current life stage of the equipment according to the vibration signal, and at the same time perform time-frequency analysis on the vibration signal to generate a time-frequency diagram.
[0042] Step 4.1: Combine the distinguished life stages with the characteristic information in the time-frequency diagram to form an input data set.
[0043] Step 4.2: Based on a time series prediction model based on the Transformer architecture, introduce an attention mechanism to generate a life prediction model based on vibration signals. Input the input data set into the life prediction model to obtain the life condition of the current equipment.
[0044] The life prediction model includes:
[0045] Encoder part: Encode the input time series data (i.e., the constructed input data set) to extract the key features in the time series. The encoder consists of multiple stacked self-attention modules, and each layer of the module contains a multi-head self-attention mechanism and a feed-forward neural network.
[0046] Decoder part: Predict the remaining life of large-scale power generation equipment based on the output of the encoder. The decoder also contains multiple layers of self-attention modules, and positional encoding is introduced during the prediction process to retain the temporal information of the time series.
[0047] Improvement of the attention mechanism: The Informer introduces a probabilistic sparse attention mechanism, which calculates by randomly sampling the features of some time points, thereby reducing the computational amount while retaining important time dependencies.
[0048] Feature fusion: Fuse the time-frequency features and temporal features in the input dataset as the input of the model. This can make full use of the information in the time-frequency diagram and improve the model's perception ability of the state changes of large-scale power generation equipment.
[0049] In this embodiment, it also includes denoising the vibration signal, and the denoising process includes: performing mean removal processing on the vibration signal data of the current device; performing Hilbert transform on the signal after mean removal processing to obtain the signal envelope value.

Based on the results of the fusion analysis, a hybrid life prediction digital twin model including a physical model and a data-driven model is constructed.
[0051] Furthermore, determine the correlation parameters between the usage status and maintenance, specifically including: extracting the historical maintenance data feature parameters and historical usage data feature parameters from the historical maintenance data - historical usage data correlation curve, and using the Pearson correlation coefficient to perform correlation analysis on the historical maintenance data feature parameters and historical usage data feature parameters to obtain the correlation parameters. Specifically, it includes the following steps:
[0052] Data cleaning: Clean the historical maintenance data and historical usage data to remove noise and outliers.
[0053] Feature extraction: Extract key features from historical usage data, such as operating time, load, temperature, etc.; extract maintenance time, maintenance type, maintenance duration, etc. from historical maintenance data.
[0054] Correlation analysis method: The Pearson correlation coefficient is used to measure the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables. Its value range is [-1, 1], where 1 represents a perfect positive correlation, -1 represents a perfect negative correlation, and 0 represents no correlation. Distance correlation is used to measure the non-linear relationship between two variables. It evaluates the correlation by calculating the distance matrix between variables. The maximum information coefficient (MIC) is used to detect the non-linear relationship between variables and can capture complex patterns.
[0055] Deep learning model: Using a deep learning model (such as a neural network) to perform feature embedding on historical maintenance data and historical usage data, and map the data to a low-dimensional space.
[0056] Correlation curve generation: By training a deep learning model, generate a correlation curve between historical maintenance data and historical usage data. The model can learn complex patterns and non-linear relationships in the data.
[0057] Determination of correlation parameters: Model output analysis: According to the correlation curve generated by the deep learning model, analyze the strength of the correlation between different usage states and maintenance.
[0058] Parameter extraction: Extract key parameters from the correlation curve, such as correlation peaks, correlation change rates, etc. These parameters can be used as quantitative indicators for the correlation between usage states and maintenance.
