Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power cable intelligent monitoring, and in particular to a Brillouin signal acquisition system and a cable fault locating and classifying method. Background Art
[0002] Brillouin Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (BOTDR), with its advantages such as single-ended, long-distance transmission and the ability to measure temperature and strain simultaneously or separately, holds promise as a core technology for cable condition monitoring. Its measurement accuracy directly depends on the signal-to-noise ratio of the Brillouin Gain Spectrum (BGS) and the accuracy of Brillouin Frequency Shift (BFS) extraction. However, the intensity of spontaneous Brillouin scattered light is approximately 50 dB lower than that of the incident light and is susceptible to interference from fiber noise, making it difficult to effectively extract weak fault signals. While existing hardware optimization solutions can partially suppress noise, they cannot address dynamic interference under complex operating conditions.
[0003] The current mainstream method uses digital filtering (Lorentz function fitting) to improve the quality of the Brillouin gain spectrum signal. Low-pass filtering combined with pump wave / probe wave modulation can reduce high-frequency noise, but parameters (such as cutoff frequency and modulation degree) need to be adjusted for different fiber types, resulting in poor algorithm versatility. Although the spectrum reconstruction method based on analytical functions can improve the BFS extraction accuracy to ±1MHz (corresponding to a temperature error of approximately ±1°C and a strain error of approximately ±20°C), the BFS extraction accuracy can be improved to ±1MHz. However, in practice, due to factors such as digitization errors and nonlinear photon-phonon interactions, the deviation in frequency shift extraction can reach over 5 MHz during long-distance monitoring, severely limiting the accuracy of temperature / strain inversion. Traditional machine learning relies on manually constructed statistical models, making it difficult to capture the spatiotemporal propagation characteristics of cable faults. While Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) have the potential to process spatiotemporal data, their fixed-rate encoding mechanism is unsuitable for the dynamic signal characteristics of BOTDRs, and they lack physical constraints such as cable entities, which affects fault classification accuracy.
[0004] Therefore, it is very necessary to provide a Brillouin signal acquisition system and a cable fault location and classification method to reduce the noise impact of each device on the extracted Brillouin signal, solve the problems of high construction cost and slow response speed of current high-precision Brillouin optical time domain reflectometer instruments, and realize efficient data processing.

[0024] Specifically, the local oscillator unit 12 includes a second erbium-doped fiber amplifier 121, a first optical circulator 122 and a local fiber Brillouin generator 123.

[0025] The detection light unit 11 includes a second fiber coupler 111, a second erbium-doped fiber amplifier 112, and a pulse modulation AOM 113. The first output end of the first fiber coupler 10 is optically connected to the first input end of the second fiber coupler 111, the second input end of the second fiber coupler 111 is optically connected to the third port of the first optical circulator 122, the output end of the second fiber coupler 111 is optically connected to the input end of the second erbium-doped fiber amplifier 112, and the output end of the second erbium-doped fiber amplifier 112 is optically connected to the input end of the pulse modulation AOM 113; the output end of the pulse modulation AOM 113 is optically connected to the sensing fiber module 2 to be tested; the detection light signal couples the reference Brillouin signal with the detection light component and then sends it to the sensing fiber module 2 to be tested.
[0026] Reference optical path unit 13 includes a third optical fiber coupler.

When the optical fiber to be tested 22 is not affected by the environment, it generates an initial Brillouin frequency shift signal. The initial Brillouin frequency shift signal changes due to the temperature / strain of the optical fiber to be tested 22, causing the optical fiber to be tested 22 to generate a Brillouin signal. The first port of the second optical circulator 21 is unidirectionally connected to the second port, and the second port of the second optical circulator 21 is unidirectionally connected to the third port. It should be noted that the initial Brillouin frequency shift signal generated by the optical fiber to be tested 22 when it is not affected by the environment and the change of the initial Brillouin frequency shift signal due to the temperature / strain of the optical fiber to be tested 22, causing the optical fiber to be tested 22 to generate a Brillouin signal, are both backward optical signals.
[0028] The backward optical signal receiving and demodulating module 3 includes an integrated coherent receiver 31 and a data collector 32; the output end of the third optical fiber coupler is optically connected to the input end of the integrated coherent receiver 31, and the output end of the integrated coherent receiver 31 is electrically connected to the data collector 32.

The data collector 32 collects the obtained Brillouin frequency shift and uploads it to the cloud platform.
[0029] The specific steps for calculating the temperature and strain information of the frequency shift location are as follows: After completing target detection on the spectrum graph, the frequency and distance information are extracted through the coordinate position of the center point of each area, and the relationship between the Brillouin frequency change and temperature and strain is calculated: , where 、 T 0 and are the Brillouin frequency shift, temperature and strain of the optical fiber under initial conditions, and are the Brillouin temperature coefficient and gauge coefficient of the optical fiber, respectively.
[0030] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a cable fault location and classification method, comprising the following steps: S1: Configuring the Brillouin signal acquisition system; the optical fiber module to be tested is configured with an optical fiber to be tested, and the optical fiber to be tested is coaxially extended with the cable; S2: The backward optical signal receiving and demodulating module 3 obtains the Brillouin frequency shift signal of the sensing optical fiber module 2 to be tested and sends it to the host computer, which then uploads it to the cloud platform. Figure 2 As shown, the cloud platform sequentially executes the Brillouin data preprocessing sub-step, spatiotemporal pulse encoding sub-step, dynamic feature space optimization sub-step, and fault location and classification sub-step, and outputs the results to the cloud platform display interface.
[0031] Among them, the Brillouin data preprocessing sub-step adopts a hybrid noise reduction method based on multi-scale analysis. By combining the time-frequency localization characteristics of wavelet transform with the dynamic threshold adjustment mechanism, the effective information and noise in the Brillouin frequency shift signal are separated, and then data normalization and feature extraction are performed; the Brillouin frequency shift signal is decomposed by discrete wavelet, and a wavelet basis function with compact support and regularity is selected. As an analysis tool, it can effectively match the transient characteristics of the Brie, and construct an adaptive threshold function based on the signal energy distribution through the calculated decomposition coefficient : ,in m is the number of wavelet decomposition layers, is the retained low-frequency coefficient, is the noise tolerance threshold; In the data normalization process, a segmented adaptive mapping algorithm based on the physical properties of optical fiber is designed to calculate the nonlinear relationship between Brillouin frequency shift and temperature / strain; the cubic spline interpolation method is used to smooth the curve of the Brillouin frequency shift signal, and then a dual-channel normalization model is established: the temperature parameter T Through the sigmoid function Compressed to the interval [0, 1], the slope parameter αDynamic adjustment according to the fiber type, the strain parameter adopts the arc tangent function Mapped to the range [-1,1], ε For strain, β is the temperature compensation factor; this processing method not only ensures the numerical stability of the data in the pulse encoding stage, but also significantly reduces the storage requirements for subsequent processing.
[0032] In the feature extraction stage, a multimodal anomaly detection architecture is used to design a gradient mutation detection algorithm based on a sliding window in the spatial dimension: the width is set to L 0 initial detection window, Δ l To detect the sliding amount of the window, calculate the temperature gradient in the window = Δ T / Δ l and strain gradient = Δ ε / Δ l The weighted average value is calculated, and the weight coefficient is determined by the Brillouin temperature / gauge coefficient ratio of the optical fiber. When a temperature gradient anomaly is detected and the duration exceeds the set time, the phase continuity of the frequency shift curve is first verified to eliminate false anomalies, and finally the strain gradient mutation criterion is combined to confirm the fault characteristics. Finally, the temperature gradient integral area is extracted from the sliding window. And the energy ratio characteristic Ea / Et of the abnormal area form a characteristic vector; Ea and Et are both areas enclosed by the frequency-shifted signal in a certain space, but the latter is the initial state, and the former is the frequency shift after a certain period of environmental disturbance.
[0033] The spatiotemporal pulse coding sub-step specifically includes: constructing Figure 3 The pulse neural network shown in the figure includes an input layer, a hidden layer and an output layer. The input received by the input layer of the pulse neural network is a pulse sequence with unique time characteristics, which makes the neurons x State variables Exceeding the threshold θ When a certain time pulse is emitted, the neuron x A series of pulses emitted form a pulse train , , Represents neurons x Issued i The connection between the hidden layer and the input and output layers includes multiple synapses. Each synapse corresponds to a different time stage under the same spatial coding unit in the spatiotemporal pulse coding. Each synapse has a different delay and adjustable connection weight. Finally, after processing by several hidden layers, the pulse sequence output by each neuron constitutes the output of the network. It's a neuron j The state variable represents the neuron j Changes in resting potential and action potential under the influence of time series, ,in Represents neurons j The impact on itself after the pulse is generated, Presynaptic neurons i , Represents neurons j The response to the impulse before the synapse is affected, the weight Represents neurons i and neurons j Synapses k The connection strength, represents the delay between different synapses.
[0034] In the spatiotemporal pulse coding stage, an innovative space-time dual coding strategy is designed. In the spatial dimension, each meter of cable is divided into independent coding units, and a neuron model is used to convert the normalized temperature value into a pulse emission frequency: , where f i The perceived temperature T i The corresponding pulse frequency, f 0 is the preset pulse frequency, T max and T min are the maximum and minimum temperature values, respectively. Strain fluctuations are mapped to pulse phase offsets using phase modulation technology. Delayed pulse encoding is implemented for abnormal events detected in the time dimension. Sudden failures correspond to instantaneous high-frequency pulse clusters, while mechanical / chemical damage manifests as sustained low-frequency pulse clusters.
[0035] The content of the dynamic feature space optimization sub-step is to use the dynamic neural algorithm and cable physical constraints to build a multi-objective optimization model, define the time-space distance measurement function of similar fault samples, and use the improved Hausdorff distance in the spatial dimension. Calculating physical location similarity , There are two different points x i and y j The second-order paradigm of the distance is adopted, the pulse sequence is aligned in the time dimension through the dynamic time warping algorithm, and the cable topology constraint matrix is introduced into the neural dynamic optimization model framework; according to the pulse timing sensitivity of the pulse neural network, a dual-channel loss function is designed: the first channel minimizes the difference in pulse emission patterns of similar faults, and the second channel maximizes the divergence of different fault types. By jointly optimizing the temperature and strain feature weights, the optimal projection of the feature space in the time-frequency domain is achieved.
[0036] The fault location and classification sub-steps are to construct a pulse neural network, configure the positioning model and classification model, and use the Gaussian mixture model to estimate the probability density of the optimized feature space in the positioning model; the two-dimensional parameters of the fault location are calculated iteratively; the classification model designs a three-channel pulse neural network classifier: short-term high-frequency pulse clusters correspond to short-circuit faults, medium-frequency continuous pulse clusters represent mechanical damage, and low-frequency intermittent pulses indicate insulation aging; when more than one classifier unit triggers abnormal pulses at the same time, the results are returned and a composite judgment of the fault type is performed.
