Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of transformer operation monitoring, and in particular to a transformer winding state detection method based on temperature characteristics. Background Art
[0002] Power transformers are essential and critical components of power grids, playing a crucial role in power transmission and voltage conversion. In the context of developing new power systems, the integration of high proportions of renewable energy increases the randomness and uncertainty of power system operation, subjecting power equipment to more extreme and volatile operating conditions, significantly increasing the difficulty of equipment operation and maintenance. Power transformers are complex structures, subject to the combined influence of external operating environments and internal electromagnetic and thermal factors, making faults such as overheating and turn-to-turn short circuits unavoidable. If early faults in transformer windings are not detected promptly, they can develop into catastrophic failures.
[0003] Hotspot temperature is a crucial parameter reflecting the operating status of a winding. During transformer operation, the hotspot temperature should not exceed a certain value determined by the insulation grade. Otherwise, the insulation life of the transformer will be shortened, and in severe cases, the transformer may be permanently damaged. Furthermore, interturn faults are a common type of thermal fault in windings, primarily caused by aging and deterioration of the interturn insulation. During transformer operation, overload, poor winding heat dissipation, and other factors can cause localized overheating of the winding. When the hotspot temperature exceeds the specified value, the performance of the interturn insulation material degrades. If the transformer is overloaded for an extended period of time or if poor winding heat dissipation is not promptly addressed, the interturn insulation will further degrade, resulting in a decrease in interturn insulation resistance, an increase in interturn leakage current and faulty coil current, and ultimately, an interturn fault. Timely and effective monitoring of transformer winding temperature characteristics, especially hotspot temperature, is crucial for safe and reliable operation. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a transformer winding status detection method based on temperature characteristics. The method can accurately determine the transformer winding status by real-time monitoring of the transformer's load current, active power, top oil temperature, ambient temperature, and oil flow rate.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: A method for detecting a transformer winding state based on temperature characteristics, the method comprising: Step 1: Collect transformer data in operation. The sampling frequency is , the length is ; Step 2: Preprocess the collected transformer data; Step 3: Use the preprocessed transformer data as input data and the normalized winding hotspot temperature data as output data to construct a data set; Step 4. Establish a VSN-TKAN-GRN deep learning network parallel computing model for transformer winding hot spot temperature considering the multi-head attention mechanism, and use the Adam optimizer to optimize the weight parameters until the optimal parameter combination of the network is found; Step 5: Select the transformer load current, active power, top oil temperature, ambient temperature, and oil flow rate within a period of time after the input data as the input of the VSN-TKAN-GRN deep learning network parallel computing model to predict the transformer winding hotspot temperature; Step 6. Calculate the average relative error percentage between the transformer winding hot spot temperature prediction results and the measured results The winding status is judged according to the change in the average relative error percentage. If the average relative error percentage is less than 3%, it is judged that the transformer winding is operating normally; if the average relative error percentage is less than or greater than 3%, it is judged that the transformer winding has changed and there may be a turn-to-turn short circuit fault.
[0006] The above Step 1 specifically includes: The voltage signal, current signal, top oil temperature, ambient temperature, oil flow rate and winding hot spot temperature of the transformer in operation are collected. The voltage signal and current signal are obtained through the voltage transformer and current transformer respectively. The sampling frequency is , the length is The top oil temperature and ambient temperature are obtained by temperature sensors; the oil flow velocity and winding hot spot temperature are obtained by optical fiber oil flow sensor and optical fiber temperature sensor respectively.
[0007] The above Step 2 specifically includes: The collected transformer voltage signal, current signal, top oil temperature, ambient temperature, oil flow velocity and winding hot spot temperature data are preprocessed, including the calculation of the effective value of the transformer voltage signal, current signal, and active power, as well as the calculation of the moving average and moving standard deviation of the top oil temperature, ambient temperature, oil flow velocity and winding hot spot temperature. The transformer's load current, active power, top oil temperature after removing abnormal values, ambient temperature, oil flow velocity and winding hot spot temperature are normalized.
[0008] The above Step 3 specifically includes: The preprocessed transformer load current, active power, top oil temperature, ambient temperature and oil flow velocity are used as input data, and the normalized winding hot spot temperature data are used as output data to construct the data set.
[0009] The VSN-TKAN-GRN network, based on the latest deep learning research, is designed to address the complex problem of transformer winding hotspot temperature prediction. This network architecture combines the advanced features of Variable Selection Networks, Temporal Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks, and Gated Residual Networks to improve the model's prediction accuracy and efficiency. The VSN selects the most useful features for the prediction task; the TKAN processes time series data and captures temporal dependencies; and the GRN introduces nonlinear transformations and gating mechanisms to enhance the model's expressive power. The establishment of the VSN-TKAN-GRN network is now explained. The network consists of three main modules and other optimization modules: (1) Variable Selection Network: Generate variable selection weights through the gated residual network and the Softmax layer to dynamically select the most relevant variables in the input data.
[0010] (2) Temporal Kolmogorov-Arnold Network: As the core module of the network, TKAN captures long-range dependencies in time series data by introducing temporal dependencies and memory management mechanisms. The TKAN layer manages information flow through recursive mechanisms and gating units.
[0011] (3) Gated Residual Network: Used to control information flow, handle nonlinear interactions and long-range dependencies. GRN enhances the flexibility and expressiveness of the model through gated linear units and residual connections.
[0012] (4) Parallel computing model: The VSN-TKAN-GRN network adopts a parallel computing architecture and captures long-range dependencies between different time steps through a multi-head attention mechanism. The multi-head attention mechanism allows the model to focus on information from multiple time steps simultaneously, thereby improving prediction accuracy.
[0013] (5) Optimizer: Use the Adam optimizer to optimize the weight parameters. The Adam optimizer combines the advantages of the momentum method and the adaptive learning rate, and can efficiently find the optimal parameter combination of the network.
[0014] (6) Training process: The network optimizes the model parameters by minimizing the prediction error until the optimal parameter combination is found. During the training process, early stopping and learning rate decay strategies are used to prevent overfitting and improve the generalization ability of the model.
[0015] The deep learning network model in the above Step 4 consists of an input layer, a VSN module, a TKAN module, a GRN module, a self-attention layer, a fully connected layer, and an output layer. The VSN module is used to perform nonlinear processing on the input data and combine variables according to weights. The TKAN module is used to capture the long-term dependencies of the data processed by the VSN module, and at the same time uses the output of the encoder as the input of the decoder to generate a predicted time series based on the GRN module. The self-attention layer uses a multi-head attention mechanism to capture the long-term relationship between different time steps, and is linked to the fully connected layer to transform the output of the self-attention layer into the final output result.

To correct this deviation, the following formula is used: Bias-corrected first moment: ; Where, is the bias-corrected first-order moment estimate; Bias-corrected second moment: ; Where, is the bias-corrected second-order moment estimate; Step 4.6, Update parameters: Update parameters based on the revised estimate; Use the corrected first moment and second-order moment Update parameters : ; Where, is the time step Parameter value when is the time step Parameter value when ; Step 4.7: After completing the parameter update, Adam enters the next time step and repeats the above steps. Each iteration calculates new gradients, updates the first- and second-order moment estimates, performs bias correction, and updates the parameters based on the new estimates. As training progresses, the parameter updates gradually approach the minimum value of the loss function. Step 4.8: After the optimization is completed, the network model with the optimal weight parameters is obtained.

[0021] The present invention provides a method for detecting the state of a transformer winding based on temperature characteristics. A VSN-TKAN-GRN deep learning network calculation model is established based on the transformer's load current, active power, top oil temperature, ambient temperature, oil flow velocity, and winding hotspot temperature. The transformer winding state is judged according to the change in the average relative error percentage between the predicted and measured hotspot temperatures of the transformer winding. This judgment method is efficient, accurate, and easy to implement, making it easy for operators to promptly detect abnormal transformer winding conditions such as turn-to-turn short circuits.
[0022] The benefit of this invention lies in the proposed transformer winding state identification method, which utilizes a parallel VSN-TKAN-GRN deep learning network. This network accurately captures the key features inherent in the transformer's multi-source time series—load current, active power, top oil temperature, ambient temperature, and oil flow velocity—through a multi-head self-attention mechanism. This enhances the ability to capture long-term dependencies in the time series and improves prediction accuracy. Furthermore, the constructed parallel deep learning network boasts a flexible architecture, strong parallel computing and generalization capabilities, and robust resistance to overfitting, enabling computational analysis of transformer winding hotspot temperatures and accurate identification of changes in transformer winding states.
