[0020] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more precise definition of the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] according to Figure 1 A monitoring system for a ring network box-type substation includes a sensor module 1 and a human-computer interaction terminal 5. The sensor module 1 is connected to the human-computer interaction terminal 5 through a signal. A performance enhancement structure for improving the monitoring accuracy and reliability of the ring network box-type substation is provided between the sensor module 1 and the human-computer interaction terminal 5. The performance enhancement structure can improve the monitoring accuracy and reliability of the ring network box-type substation, effectively improve the system performance and response speed, and meet the growing demand for real-time data processing.

[0022] The performance enhancement structure includes an edge computing structure 2 for processing the digital signal transmitted from the sensor module 1 and a cloud monitoring structure 4 for performing fault diagnosis on the digital signal processed by the edge computing structure 2. The edge computing structure 2 and the cloud detection structure are connected via a communication module 3.

[0023] The sensor module 1 includes a distributed optical fiber temperature sensor, a three-dimensional vibration sensor, an ultrasonic partial discharge sensor, a humidity sensor and a power quality analyzer. The distributed optical fiber temperature sensor is laid in a serpentine manner along the surface of the busbar. The distributed optical fiber temperature sensor uses armored anti-interference optical fiber. The optical fiber is laid in a spiral winding manner along the busbar trough, and the distance between adjacent windings is ≤5cm.

[0024] The distributed optical fiber temperature sensor is connected to the optical signal demodulator in the edge computing structure 2 through the optical fiber fusion box 6. The distributed optical fiber temperature sensor is used to realize millimeter-level temperature monitoring of the entire length of the busbar. The distributed optical fiber temperature sensor monitors the temperature field distribution of the busbar with an accuracy of 0.1°C. The collected data is converted into a digital signal by the optical signal demodulator and then transmitted to the edge computing structure 2. The laying length of each phase of the busbar is ≥3m.

[0025] The distributed optical fiber sensor monitors the abnormal temperature point of the busbar in real time and triggers an alarm when the temperature is greater than 90°C.

[0026] The three-dimensional vibration sensor is installed at the four corners of the box-type substation casing and is connected to the FPGA chip in the edge computing structure 2 through the signal conditioning circuit 7. The three-dimensional vibration sensor is used to capture vibration signals of abnormal mechanical status of the equipment.

[0027] The FPGA chip performs fast Fourier transform on the vibration signal collected by the three-dimensional vibration sensor to extract characteristic values of the 10-1000 Hz frequency band.

[0028] The edge computing structure 2 is also provided with a processor and a data cache unit. The processor, the FPGA core and the data cache unit are connected to the sensor module 1 via a CAN bus.

[0029] The edge computing structure 2 can complete 85% of data processing and shorten the response time to ≤100ms;

[0030] The edge computing structure 2 has a built-in adaptive filtering algorithm to perform nonlinear noise suppression on the vibration signal collected by the three-dimensional vibration sensor, and the signal-to-noise ratio is improved by ≥20dB.

[0031] The processor uses the ARM Cortex-A72 processor, which is a high-performance, low-power processor core launched by ARM. It belongs to the ARM Cortex-A series and is mainly designed for applications such as smartphones, tablets, embedded devices and high-performance computing. As the successor to the Cortex-A57, it provides higher performance and energy efficiency and is suitable for scenarios that require powerful computing power and good battery life.

[0032] The communication module 3 adopts a dual-channel dynamic routing selection strategy and ensures a data integrity rate of ≥99.9% through dual-channel dynamic switching.

[0033] It supports Modbus-TCP and IEC 61850 protocol conversion and includes a wireless unit and an industrial Ethernet unit. The wireless unit adopts the LoRa wireless unit. The LoRa wireless unit is a low-power wide area network technology mainly used for long-distance wireless communication, especially suitable for Internet of Things applications. Due to its low power consumption, long-distance transmission and wide coverage, it has become an ideal choice for many wireless sensor networks and smart city projects.

[0034] When the wireless signal strength is less than -85dBm, it automatically switches to industrial Ethernet for full-duplex transmission.

[0035] The communication module 3 dynamically selects a transmission channel according to the network status, and key alarm data is uploaded preferentially through the LoRa wireless unit.

[0036] The cloud monitoring structure 4 is provided with a fault diagnosis model library and an equipment health assessment algorithm. The communication module 3 is connected to the cloud monitoring structure 4 via a gateway, and generates maintenance suggestions through fault diagnosis and health assessment and pushes them to the human-computer interaction terminal 5.

[0037] The cloud monitoring structure 4 integrates an LSTM neural network model, which can predict the temperature change trend of the equipment within the next 72 hours with an error rate of ≤2%.

[0038] The LSTM neural network model is a special type of recurrent neural network designed to address the vanishing or exploding gradient problems often encountered by traditional RNNs when processing long sequence data. The LSTM neural network model effectively captures long-range dependencies in sequence data by introducing cell states and gating mechanisms, enabling it to perform well in time series prediction, natural language processing, and other sequence data processing tasks. As a powerful sequence modeling tool, it has been widely used in many fields. By introducing cell states and gating mechanisms, it successfully addresses the challenges encountered by traditional RNNs when processing long sequences. Although the LSTM neural network model has the disadvantages of computational complexity and long training time, its advantages make it still one of the preferred models for processing time series data.

[0039] The human-computer interaction terminal 5 includes a touch screen, an audible and visual alarm, and a status indicator light. The touch screen is also equipped with a self-checking module, which automatically performs sensor zero point calibration and communication link integrity detection at 0:00 every day.

[0040] Compared with the existing technology, the present invention provides a monitoring system for a ring network box-type substation. The monitoring system has a performance enhancement structure, which can improve the monitoring accuracy and reliability of the ring network box-type substation, effectively improve the system performance and response speed, and meet the growing real-time data processing needs.
