Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of ship safety technology, and specifically relates to a ship power distribution system health assessment method, system and product. Background Art
[0002] Ship power distribution systems are a key component in ensuring a stable and reliable power supply. Compared to conventional power systems, ship power distribution systems face challenges such as frequent load fluctuations and complex operating mode switching. Traditional monitoring methods based on threshold alarms struggle to effectively capture potential fault characteristics, while regular maintenance strategies suffer from delayed response times and high operational and maintenance costs. Therefore, dynamic and refined health assessments are urgently needed.
[0003] In recent years, data-driven health assessment technologies have been increasingly applied in the power sector, with the integration of multidimensional feature mining and intelligent algorithms becoming a research hotspot. For example, a research team from China Huaneng Group proposed a photovoltaic power generation health assessment method based on principal component analysis and Mahalanobis distance (Wang Jing, Ren Xin, Liu Xingwei, et al. Photovoltaic Power Generation Health Assessment Method and Device [P]. Chinese Patent: CN202311428291 A: 2024-01-23). This method uses dimensionality reduction to construct a feature mapping model, enabling quantitative classification of component status. A research team from Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology also developed a unit health assessment system based on a GRU network (Xiong Liang, Sun Chengzhi, Song Jianfeng, et al. A Unit Health Assessment Method Based on Deep Learning [P]. Chinese Patent: CN202510408872 A: 2025-05-02). This system uses a time series prediction model combined with the quartile method to assess the overall health of equipment.
[0004] However, existing technologies still have significant limitations: first, traditional dimensionality reduction methods are insufficient in extracting dynamic correlation features of multi-operating condition data, resulting in increased evaluation deviation when operating conditions switch; second, a single model is difficult to take into account the feature differences of the system under different operating conditions, and lacks feature extraction of key features and dynamic weight allocation mechanism. Summary of the Invention

[0019] In order to facilitate ordinary technicians in this field to understand and implement the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the implementation examples described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0020] Please see Figure 1 This embodiment provides a method for evaluating the health of a ship power distribution system, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Obtain the operating parameters and historical data of various equipment in the ship's power distribution system; In one embodiment, the operating parameters of the various equipment in the ship's power distribution system mainly include operating parameters of generators, distribution boards, power transformers from DC distribution boards to AC distribution boards, converters, propulsion motors, etc.
[0021] Generator parameters include: stator status such as winding inter-turn insulation status, rotor status such as rotor balance, inter-turn insulation status, eccentricity status, bearing wear status, excitation device and automatic voltage regulator excitation and voltage regulation capabilities, permanent magnet demagnetization phenomenon, etc.
[0022] The distribution board parameters include: the opening and closing status of the busbar disconnect solid-state switch, the opening and closing status of each panel circuit breaker, the busbar power supply quality, such as voltage, current, power, harmonics, etc., the busbar insulation status, the suppression capacitor and inductor working status, such as charging and discharging action, temperature, etc.
[0023] The parameters of the power transformer from the DC distribution board to the AC distribution board include: winding working status.
[0024] Converter parameters include: working status of power device modules.
[0025] The propulsion motor parameters include: stator status such as winding inter-turn insulation status, rotor status such as rotor balance, inter-turn insulation status, eccentricity status, bearing wear status, etc.
[0026] Step 2: Pre-process the operating parameters of various equipment in the ship's power distribution system, and add operating mode identifiers to the pre-processed data according to the different operating conditions to which the data belongs; In one embodiment, data preprocessing includes data cleaning tasks such as data denoising, missing value filling, and data normalization of the original data to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the data and provide a reliable foundation for subsequent analysis and model training.
[0027] According to the different ship load rates, it is divided into 4 working condition labels: (1) Working condition 1: Waiting at the port, the load rate is 0.
[0028] (2) Working condition 2: low-load sailing, load rate 1-40%.
[0029] (3) Working condition three: medium load navigation, load rate 41%-80%.
[0030] (4) Working condition 4: high-load navigation, load rate 81%-100%.
[0031] The ship is divided into four working condition labels according to its load rate. Different features are extracted for different working conditions in the feature extraction stage to improve the model's ability to capture working condition-sensitive features.
[0032] Step 3: Extract the pre-processed data features through the deep learning model, identify the working condition label, and obtain the feature parameter matrix l , feature weight matrix W; Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, the deep learning network model includes a transformer branch and an LSTM branch arranged in parallel, and a self-attention layer, a fully connected layer and a Softmax activation layer; The transformer branch adds position encoding to the input data and then passes through the multi-head attention layer and feedforward network in sequence to extract global features; In the LSTM branch, input data passes through the LSTM unit group and the timing gating operation layer in sequence to extract local data; The global features and local features are fused by a feature fusion layer using a weighted splicing method, and then sequentially pass through the self-attention layer, the fully connected layer and the Softmax activation layer, and the final classification result is output through the softmax classifier.
[0033] The deep learning network model is an improved transformer-LSTM hybrid model. Unlike the classic model where the two parts of the structure run sequentially, the parallel structure uses two branches to extract complementary features, enhancing the model's ability to express complex data patterns.
[0034] This embodiment uses parallel branches to extract features. At the feature fusion layer, the two features are fused by weighted splicing. The fusion formula is as follows:
[0035] in, Indicates splicing by channel, is the feature after splicing, Extract features for the transformer branch, Extract features for LSTM branches.
[0036] This embodiment adds a self-attention layer after the feature fusion layer, assigns weights to the feature matrix after feature fusion through the self-attention mechanism, and strengthens key features.
[0037] In this embodiment, the weighted features of the self-attention layer are connected to the fully connected layer, and then the final classification result is output through the softmax classifier.
[0038] In one embodiment, the deep learning network model is a trained model that ensures a high level of recognition accuracy for operating conditions on a validation set. After the model converges (accuracy is considered converged when it stabilizes and fluctuates less than 1%), model features are extracted for subsequent calculations.
[0039] Step 4: Based on the characteristic parameter matrix l , calculate the benchmark matrix of data characteristics of health data under different working conditions (health data must be collected when the system is in a fault-free and normal operating state, and verified by experts to exclude potential abnormalities) and build a multi-working condition health benchmark library; In one embodiment, the health baseline is calculated for each feature group based on the different working condition labels. In the multi-working condition health assessment, the health baseline of each working condition is composed of the following statistics: (1) Mean vector m; ; ; Mean vector m Represents the characteristic distribution center of the health status under the current working conditions. N is the number of samples of health data under the current working conditions, For the i The feature vector of healthy samples. ,in d is the dimension of the feature vector.
[0040] (2) Covariance matrix ; ; ; Covariance matrix Indicates the correlation between various characteristics under health status. , where the diagonal elements Indicates the i The variance of the features. Off-diagonal elements Indicates the i and j The covariance of the features.
[0041] (3) Inverse covariance matrix ; Inverse covariance matrix From the covariance matrix Taking the inverse, we get , used to calculate the Mahalanobis distance and eliminate redundant correlations between features.
[0042] Finally, an independent benchmark library for each working condition is formed: .
[0043] Step 5: Calculate the health score under each working condition using the feature weight matrix W and the feature deviation based on the health benchmark; In one embodiment, the feature weight matrix W and Mahalanobis distance are combined to calculate the feature deviation to obtain the current device health score; The specific calculation process is as follows: (1) Calculate vector difference ; (2) Calculate the product of the dynamic weight matrix W and the inverse covariance matrix ; ; in, Indicates the weight matrix d Rank d The elements of the column represent the d The autocorrelation weight of each feature.
[0044] (3) Calculate the weighted difference vector ; ; in, Indicates the current sample i The difference between the feature and the corresponding working condition health benchmark mean, that is, i The vector difference of the features .
[0045] (4) Calculate the final deviation D The smaller it is, the closer it is to a healthy state; D The bigger it is, the worse the health status is; (5) Departure D Obtain the current device health score S by normalizing and mapping it to a health score; ; in, They represent the maximum deviation and the minimum deviation respectively.
[0046] Step 6: Assign a health rating level to the distribution system and determine the current system health.
[0047] In one embodiment, the health rating of the power distribution system is based on expert knowledge and is determined by cluster analysis based on thresholds determined by combining the system's operating status and historical operating data. The health rating is divided into five levels: healthy, sub-healthy, abnormal, faulty, and scrapped. The specific health ratings are as follows: Health level 0.9-1.0: The system is in a healthy state, operating normally, with no abnormal signs.
[0048] Health level 0.8-0.9, the system is in sub-healthy state, operating normally, with slight abnormal signs.
[0049] Health level is 0.7-0.8. The system is in an abnormal state, system performance has degraded, and there are minor faults. Troubleshooting and repair are required.
[0050] Health level is 0.4-0.7, the system is in a faulty state, system performance is poor, and system shutdown for maintenance is required.
[0051] If the health level is below 0.4, the system is in a failed state and cannot operate, and needs to be completely replaced.
[0052] This embodiment also provides a ship power distribution system health assessment system, including: one or more processors; A storage device is used to store one or more programs, which, when executed by the one or more processors, enable the one or more processors to implement the ship power distribution system health assessment method.
[0053] This embodiment also provides a ship power distribution system health assessment product, including computer program instructions. When the computer program instructions are run on a computer, the computer executes the ship power distribution system health assessment method.
