Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mechanical equipment health management, and in particular to a rotating machinery health management method and system for a thermal power plant based on the Internet of Things. Background Art
[0002] In thermal power plants, rotating machinery, such as steam turbines and fans, operates under high loads, high temperature, and high humidity for extended periods. Their health directly impacts the equipment's operating efficiency and the safety and economic viability of the entire power plant. Traditional rotating machinery health management methods rely primarily on regular inspections and manual measurements, typically relying on a single type of sensor to monitor equipment status. This approach has significant limitations, such as insufficient detection accuracy, an inability to reflect dynamic equipment changes in real time, and maintenance decisions often based on experience rather than precise scientific evidence. This leads to unpredictable equipment failures and wastes or delays in maintenance resources.
[0003] With the development of IoT technology, intelligent monitoring systems based on the IoT have become an important direction for improving the efficiency of equipment health management. However, despite the use of multiple sensors and data acquisition systems, existing technologies generally lack systematic solutions for comprehensive health assessment of rotating machinery equipment, and it is difficult to accurately assess the changing trends of equipment health status through collaborative analysis of multimodal data. Therefore, how to effectively integrate different types of sensor data and dynamically evaluate equipment health status through scientific evaluation models to accurately guide maintenance decisions has become a difficult problem that needs to be solved in current technology.

If the angle is less than 5 degrees, it means that the changes in the health status points are relatively consistent, indicating that the maintenance measures are successful and changing in the expected direction; if the angle If it is greater than 15 degrees, it means that the maintenance effect is not obvious or there are problems, and the change of the health status point is not developing in the expected direction; S64: Based on the change of the displacement vector of the health state point, automatically adjust the weight coefficient of the correlation matrix established in S3. Specifically, if the angle If the angle is less than 5 degrees, it means that the changes in health status points are relatively consistent, and the weight coefficients between related factors in the correlation matrix should be increased by 5% to 10%; if the angle is less than 5 degrees, it means that the changes in health status points are relatively consistent, and the weight coefficients between related factors in the correlation matrix should be increased by 5% to 10%; If the angle is greater than 15 degrees, it means that the health status of the equipment has not improved significantly. The weight coefficients of the relevant parameters in the correlation matrix should be reduced by 5% to 10%. In this way, the sensitivity and accuracy of the model can be dynamically optimized. The above steps compare the changes in the displacement vectors of the health status points before and after maintenance, and use specific angle values (such as 5 degrees and 15 degrees) to judge the maintenance effect, which can accurately quantify the degree of improvement in the health status of the equipment. At the same time, the weight coefficients of the correlation matrix are dynamically adjusted according to the changes in the angle, which further improves the adaptability and accuracy of the health status assessment model, thereby making equipment maintenance decisions more scientific and accurate.
