Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water turbine operation monitoring in a hydropower station, and in particular to a water turbine guide vane leakage detection method and system. Background Art
[0002] In the field of hydropower station equipment monitoring technology, leak detection of turbine guide vanes has always been a key link in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of turbine units. Currently, leak detection of turbine guide vanes mainly relies on water level monitoring, flow meter testing, and manual visual inspection.
[0003] Water level monitoring methods typically indirectly infer leakage by monitoring changes in water levels upstream and downstream of the turbine. The basic principle is that abnormal water level changes may indicate a leak. Flow meter detection methods directly measure the flow rate through the turbine and compare it with the theoretical value to determine whether there is a leak. Manual visual inspection methods often require rotating the main shaft to observe whether there are signs of leakage at the guide vane seal while the turbine is shut down.
[0004] However, these existing technologies all have significant problems and shortcomings. Water level monitoring methods have limited accuracy, and water level changes can be affected by a variety of factors, making it difficult to accurately determine the location and extent of leaks. Flow meter detection methods also face accuracy issues and are unable to detect early signs of leaks in real time. Manual visual inspection methods are not only complex and require downtime, increasing operation and maintenance costs, but also have difficulty detecting subtle leak trends and cannot provide timely warnings of leak problems.
[0005] For example, CN110207905B discloses a guide vane leak detection system, which primarily includes a distance sensor, a central controller, and a liquid level detection device. Its operating principle is to use a liquid level gauge to detect changes in the liquid level at the vent to determine whether the guide vane is leaking. While this method can detect leaks to a certain extent, it still has the following drawbacks: Limited detection accuracy: Liquid level detection methods rely on changes in liquid level height to determine water leakage. However, in actual operation, the liquid level height may be affected by various factors, such as water flow fluctuations and temperature changes, which may lead to errors in the detection results. Inability to provide real-time warnings: Although the system can detect water leaks, it may not issue early warnings in the early stages of a leak, resulting in the leak not being addressed promptly and increasing the risk of equipment damage. Complex installation and maintenance: The installation and maintenance of liquid level detection devices require certain professional skills and experience, which increases operation and maintenance costs.
[0006] For example, CN114483417B discloses a method for quickly identifying water leakage defects in turbine guide vanes based on voiceprint recognition. This method sets multiple voiceprint collection points to collect voiceprint information near the turbine guide vanes and uses an RNN neural network model for training to identify water leakage defects in the guide vanes. Although this method improves the speed and accuracy of water leakage detection, it still has the following shortcomings: Environmental noise interference: Voiceprint recognition methods are easily affected by environmental noise. Especially in a noisy environment such as a hydropower station, the voiceprint signal may be seriously polluted, affecting the accuracy of the recognition results.
[0007] Complex model training: The training of RNN neural network models requires a large amount of sample data and computing resources, and the training process is relatively complex, requiring high professional capabilities of technical personnel.
[0008] Limited application scenarios: Although this method can quickly identify water leakage defects, its identification effect may be affected in certain specific scenarios (such as high-load operation of the unit, poor water quality, etc.).
[0009] In summary, existing turbine guide vane leakage detection technology still has many flaws and shortcomings, such as insufficient accuracy, inability to accurately identify the leak point, and reliance on shutdown inspections. These limitations make it unable to meet the requirements of modern hydropower stations for safe and efficient operation. Therefore, the development of a real-time, efficient, and accurate turbine guide vane leakage detection method and system has important practical significance and application value.

[0013] Multi-level decision-making strategy: The anomaly detection module uses a multi-level decision-making strategy, including primary filtering, secondary verification, and final decision-making. Primary filtering determines whether there are preliminary signs of water leakage by monitoring changes in pressure differential. Secondary verification analyzes changes in high-frequency component energy. The final decision-making process combines multiple factors (such as pressure differential, frequency component, load, and speed) and uses a classification model to comprehensively score and determine whether to issue an alarm.
[0014] Model training and prediction: The model training module continuously optimizes leak detection accuracy and response speed by learning from historical data and training models. It uses a feature fusion model using LSTM, SVM, and logistic regression to automatically learn and adapt to data patterns under different working conditions, enabling intelligent leak prediction.
[0015] Early Warning and Feedback: The Early Warning and Feedback module sets different levels of alarm signals based on the model's predictions, ensuring operators can respond quickly. It also provides a user interface that displays real-time pressure data, spectrum analysis results, and early warning status, and supports historical data query capabilities.
[0016] System Integration and Maintenance: This module is responsible for effectively integrating all submodules to ensure the efficient operation of the entire turbine guide vane leakage detection system. Regular calibration and maintenance plans, including sensor calibration, system software updates, and hardware inspections, ensure the long-term stability and accuracy of the system.

[0048] S5: A multi-level judgment strategy is adopted to determine whether the sealing cavity is leaking. The LSTM-SVM-LR model based on feature fusion is adopted. The specific process is as follows Figure 3 As shown: S51, primary filtration (pressure difference below dynamic threshold) The change in pressure difference is used to determine whether there are preliminary signs of water leakage. If the pressure difference is lower than the set dynamic threshold, it is preliminarily judged as abnormal and a warning signal is triggered; Data input: According to the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the sealed cavity provided by the sensor ; Dynamic Threshold The following empirical formula can be used to calculate: (6) Where, is the turbine load; is the turbine speed; 、 、 Represent different empirical coefficients, obtained through historical data or regression fitting like , then the warning is triggered, a yellow primary warning signal is output, and the secondary verification stage is entered.

[0073] This embodiment describes in detail the composition and functions of a turbine guide vane leakage detection system, including a sensor module, a data processing module, an anomaly detection module, a model training module, a warning and feedback module, and a system integration and maintenance module. By refining the specific implementation methods and precautions of each module, the operability and accuracy of the system are improved, providing a complete solution for turbine guide vane leakage detection.
[0074] Example 4 In another preferred embodiment, based on the above embodiment 3, as Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a turbine guide vane leakage detection system, which is specifically as follows: A turbine guide vane leakage detection system includes the following modules: a sensor module, a data processing module, an anomaly detection module, a model training module, an early warning and feedback module, and a system integration and maintenance module. The sensor module is responsible for real-time monitoring of pressure and temperature changes inside and outside the guide vane seal cavity. This module primarily includes a piezoelectric sensor, a pressure sensor, and an RTD temperature sensor. First, piezoelectric sensors are installed at the guide vane root and at the upper and lower portions of the seal cavity. These sensors rapidly respond to pressure changes and convert them into electrical signals, enabling real-time monitoring of pressure inside and outside the seal cavity. Second, the pressure sensor is integrated with the piezoelectric sensor to record pressure data inside and outside the seal cavity, which is then regularly collected by a data acquisition system. To ensure the accuracy of pressure data, an RTD temperature sensor is integrated into the system to monitor operating temperature. Because the output signal of the pressure sensor can be affected by temperature fluctuations, real-time temperature monitoring is crucial for subsequent data processing. The entire sensor module should be designed to ensure a sufficiently high sampling frequency, preferably between 1000Hz and 10000Hz, to capture subtle changes in the pressure signal and avoid data distortion caused by a too low sampling frequency. In addition, the sensor module should have good anti-interference capabilities and be able to operate stably under complex working conditions to ensure the reliability of the system.
[0075] The data processing module is responsible for analyzing and processing the pressure and temperature data collected by the sensors to extract valuable information and determine whether a water leak is present. First, the data processing module performs pressure calibration on the sensor output signal to correct for thermal drift errors caused by temperature fluctuations. The data processing module then uses spectral analysis to perform FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) processing on the collected pressure signal, converting the time-domain signal into the frequency domain. This process extracts the amplitude of the dominant frequency and the energy proportion of the high-frequency components. By analyzing the amplitude spectrum, it identifies abnormal periodic fluctuations, which may be caused by water flow disturbances caused by a water leak. The data processing module also calculates the pressure differential inside and outside the sealed chamber in real time and compares it with the pressure differential range during normal operation. If the pressure differential decreases significantly or exhibits abnormal fluctuations, the system flags the condition as abnormal, indicating a potential water leak risk. Through this series of data processing steps, the module effectively provides accurate baseline data for subsequent anomaly detection.
[0076] The anomaly detection module's primary function is to determine whether the turbine guide vanes are leaking, based on the pressure and spectrum information provided by the data processing module. This module employs a multi-level decision strategy, first performing primary filtering to identify preliminary signs of leakage. The system sets a dynamic threshold to monitor changes in pressure differential. When the pressure differential falls below the set dynamic threshold, the system triggers a primary warning signal, alerting the operator to a possible anomaly. If the initial determination is an anomaly, the system enters a secondary verification phase. During this phase, the module analyzes changes in high-frequency component energy. If the proportion of high-frequency component energy exceeds a baseline value, a further warning is issued. This baseline value is derived by fitting historical data to ensure it aligns with the equipment's operating characteristics. If an abnormal high-frequency component energy is detected, the module issues an orange intermediate warning signal, indicating the need for further attention to the seal chamber pressure changes. The final decision phase combines multiple factors (such as pressure differential, frequency component, load, and speed) and uses a classification model to comprehensively score and determine whether immediate personnel deployment is necessary. This module's multi-level decision-making mechanism aims to improve the accuracy and reliability of leak detection.
[0077] The model training module is the intelligent core of the entire system. By learning from historical data and training the model, it continuously optimizes the accuracy and response speed of water leak detection. This module first organizes the collected data and divides the dataset into training, validation, and test sets, with a 70%-15%-15% split. The training set is used to learn the parameters of the LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) model, optimize weights, and fit the data pattern. The validation set is used to adjust hyperparameters such as the learning rate and the number of hidden units to prevent overfitting. The test set is used to ultimately evaluate the model's generalization ability and ensure good performance on unseen data. During model training, a sliding window technique is used to construct time series samples, each containing data from multiple time steps in the past, to ensure that the model can learn both short-term and long-term temporal dependencies. The LSTM model, through its forget gate, input gate, and output gate mechanisms, effectively captures important features in the time series. This enhances the model's predictive capabilities, particularly when influenced by features such as the rate of change of pressure fluctuations. Simultaneously, the SVM (Support Vector Machine) model is trained during this phase to extract static information based on the current data. Ultimately, the model training module combines the outputs of LSTM and SVM, integrating time series features and classification probabilities through logistic regression to generate the final probability of leak prediction. This module design ensures that the system can adapt to the operational requirements of different working conditions and improves the intelligent level of detection.
[0078] The early warning and feedback module provides operators with real-time monitoring information and early warning signals so that they can take timely measures to deal with potential water leakage risks. This module sets different levels of alarm signals based on the prediction results of the model to ensure that operators can respond quickly. When the system determines that there is a risk of water leakage, it will output alarm signals of different colors to facilitate operators to judge and take corresponding measures, as shown in Table 1: The yellow primary warning indicates that the pressure difference is lower than the dynamic threshold, prompting the operator to pay attention; the orange intermediate alarm indicates that the energy ratio of the high-frequency component is abnormal, prompting further attention; the red alarm signal indicates that the final prediction is that there is a risk of water leakage, and it is recommended to immediately dispatch staff for on-site inspection. In order to enhance the practicality of the system, the early warning and feedback module should also have a user interface, such as Figure 5 As shown, the module displays real-time pressure data, spectrum analysis results, and warning status, helping operators quickly obtain key information. In addition, the module supports historical data query, allowing operators to analyze past operating status and warning records to further optimize maintenance strategies.
[0079] Table 1 Three-level early warning mechanism
[0080] The system integration and maintenance module is responsible for effectively integrating the various sub-modules to ensure the efficient operation of the entire turbine guide vane leakage detection system. This module integrates the system's hardware and software to ensure smooth data transmission and coordination between modules such as sensors, data processing, anomaly detection, model training, and early warning feedback. At the same time, system integration also needs to take into account the interface design between different modules to ensure the consistency and compatibility of data formats. To ensure the long-term stability and accuracy of the system, the maintenance module regularly formulates calibration and maintenance plans, including sensor calibration, system software updates, and hardware inspections. In addition, the maintenance module also has a fault diagnosis function that can monitor the system's operating status in real time, promptly detect and eliminate faults, and ensure the reliability and stability of the system.
[0081] In this example, 2000 historical operating data points were collected from a certain model of hydroturbine unit at a power plant from January to December of the past year. The specific model parameters are shown in Table 2. The model was trained using these 2000 historical operating data points. The batch size was set to 64, the learning rate was 0.001, the number of hidden units was 200, and the training rounds were 100. The mean squared error (MSE) loss function was used to ensure that the model could effectively capture the complex nonlinear relationship between input features and the output leakage probability value.

Through the analysis of the main frequency amplitude change and the energy proportion of the high-frequency component, it can timely detect signs of sealing performance degradation, providing reliable data support for equipment maintenance.
[0088] In the preferred solution, the model training module divides the collected data set into a training set, a validation set, and a test set, uses sliding window technology to construct time series samples, trains an LSTM model to capture important features in the time series, and combines it with an SVM model to extract static information. Finally, through logistic regression, the time series features and classification probabilities are integrated to generate the final probability of water leakage prediction. The above settings greatly improve the accuracy of water leakage detection. In practical applications, this solution can effectively identify water leakage anomalies, reduce false alarm rates, and provide strong technical support for the maintenance and management of urban water supply systems.

[0090] In summary, the present invention proposes a method and system for detecting water leakage in guide vanes of turbines. The core purpose of this solution is to solve the specific technical problems existing in the field of water leakage detection in guide vanes of turbine units in hydropower stations. Currently, water leakage detection in guide vanes mainly relies on methods such as water level monitoring, flow meter detection and manual visual inspection, but these methods have exposed many limitations in practical applications. Water level monitoring has limited accuracy in the location and amount of leakage, making it difficult to capture early signs of leakage. Although flow meter detection can reflect the total flow change in the flow channel, it cannot accurately locate the leakage point. Manual visual inspection relies on the rotation detection of the main shaft after shutdown, which is not only complicated to operate, but can only indirectly judge the severity of leakage and cannot detect leakage trends in a timely manner. These limitations make it difficult for existing technologies to meet the needs of modern hydropower stations for safe and efficient operation.
[0091] To overcome these technical challenges, the present invention innovatively installs piezoelectric sensors adjacent to the seals on the upper and lower ends of the guide vanes, integrating an RTD temperature sensor with the pressure sensor to achieve real-time monitoring of pressure and temperature. This multi-sensor fusion approach, uncommon in existing technologies, significantly improves the comprehensiveness and accuracy of monitoring, providing a solid data foundation for subsequent leak detection.
[0092] In terms of signal processing, the present invention uses the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) method to perform spectral analysis on the pressure signal, extracting the main frequency amplitude and the energy proportion of the high-frequency component to identify abnormal periodic fluctuations; this frequency domain analysis method is innovative in the field of water leakage detection and can effectively capture abnormal signals caused by water flow disturbances caused by water leakage; at the same time, by correcting the thermal drift error of the pressure data, the accuracy of pressure monitoring is further improved, ensuring the reliability of the detection results.
[0093] To improve the accuracy and reliability of leak detection, the system of this invention employs a multi-stage decision-making strategy: this strategy comprises three stages: primary filtering, secondary verification, and final decision-making. This strategy effectively reduces false positives and missed negatives by combining pressure differential, high-frequency energy content, and a comprehensive scoring system based on a classification model. In the primary filtering stage, the system monitors changes in pressure differential to make a preliminary assessment of leak detection. In the secondary verification stage, the system further analyzes changes in high-frequency energy content to verify the results of the primary filtering. In the final decision-making stage, the system integrates multiple factors and uses a classification model to make a final decision, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the detection results.
[0094] In addition, the present invention also constructs a feature fusion model based on LSTM (long short-term memory network), SVM (support vector machine) and logistic regression. This model can automatically learn and adapt to data patterns under different working conditions to achieve intelligent water leakage prediction; by combining the time series feature extraction capability of LSTM and the static classification capability of SVM, as well as the integration effect of logistic regression, the system can more accurately predict water leakage risks and provide operators with timely early warning information.
[0095] To ensure operators can quickly respond to leak risks, the system also provides a three-level warning mechanism. Depending on the severity of the leak, the system outputs different levels of alarm signals, including a yellow primary warning, an orange intermediate warning, and a red alarm. This hierarchical alarm mechanism is innovative in leak detection systems and can effectively improve operators' response speed and coping capabilities.
[0096] In terms of system integration, this invention ensures efficient collaboration between submodules through system integration modules. Regular calibration and maintenance plans, along with the introduction of fault diagnosis capabilities, ensure long-term stable system operation while facilitating upgrades and maintenance. This modular and integrated design not only improves system reliability and stability but also reduces operational and maintenance costs.
[0097] By implementing this solution, the present invention can promptly detect water leakage problems, reduce equipment downtime and maintenance costs, and improve the operating efficiency and safety of turbines. Its significant economic and social benefits provide strong support for the safe and efficient operation of hydropower stations. In summary, through innovative features such as multi-sensor fusion monitoring, spectrum analysis and pressure calibration, multi-level judgment strategy, intelligent water leakage prediction model, three-level early warning mechanism, dynamic threshold adjustment, system integration and modular design, this invention achieves real-time, efficient, and accurate water leakage detection, providing a strong guarantee for the safe and efficient operation of hydropower stations.
