Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of insulation status detection of power equipment, and specifically relates to a method and system for detecting insulation discharge defects based on dual-band solar-blind ultraviolet and UVA, which is used for quantitative analysis of discharge intensity and fault diagnosis of external insulation defects of insulators, bushings, etc. of high-voltage equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the widespread use of high-voltage power equipment, discharge defect detection in external insulation equipment (such as insulators and bushings) has become critical to ensuring the safe operation of power systems. Traditional detection methods rely primarily on ultraviolet imaging technology, which captures the ultraviolet light signals generated during the discharge process to identify defects. However, existing technologies have the following significant problems:

[0003] ① Single ultraviolet band (such as UVA or solar blind) detection is easily affected by environmental interference and cannot fully reflect the discharge characteristics.

[0004] ② Traditional ultraviolet imaging technology has a limited dynamic range, and the details of the discharge morphology are severely lost under weak light conditions.

[0005] ③ There is a lack of quantitative model for the correlation between discharge value and optical characteristics, and defect classification relies on manual experience, which is inefficient.

[0006] Prior art document 1 (CN104407277A) discloses a partial discharge monitoring device and method based on dual-band ultraviolet video multi-information fusion in the field of insulation status detection technology of power equipment. The dual-band ultraviolet binocular camera and ultraviolet sensor work together to collect discharge videos and quantitative signals of different ultraviolet bands, and use DSP multi-information fusion processing circuit to perform feature analysis, weight statistics and discharge positioning on the dual-channel video. However, it does not clearly distinguish the specific types of the two ultraviolet bands used, and there is a deficiency in that the band selection is not very targeted; it relies on weight statistical fusion and DSP processing, and there is a defect that the association between discharge value and defect type still requires manual experience judgment.

[0007] Prior art document 2 (CN116188505A) discloses an ultraviolet-infrared collaborative insulation equipment online monitoring system in the field of insulation status detection technology for power equipment. It uses an ultraviolet imager and an infrared camera to synchronously collect discharge spot and temperature rise data, and uses the SURF algorithm to achieve cross-spectral image registration. Combined with the RANSAC mismatch elimination technology, the abnormal temperature rise area and the discharge spot are fused into a single diagnostic image. However, it adopts ultraviolet and infrared collaborative detection, and the discharge spectrum information is not fully obtained; it relies on SURF+RANSAC registration and image superposition and fusion, and there is a defect that weak discharge morphology may not be clearly identified.

[0064] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. The described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the spirit of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a method for detecting insulation discharge defects based on dual-band solar-blind ultraviolet and UVA in Example 1, the method comprising the following steps:

[0066] Step 1: Synchronously collect the optical signals, images, and electrical signals of the device under test, including the optical signals, images, and discharge current pulse signals of the solar-blind ultraviolet band and the UVA ultraviolet band, and perform timing alignment and preprocessing.

[0067] Preferably, the step 1 comprises:

[0068] The sensor synchronously captures the solar blind and UVA (Ultraviolet A) discharge spectra and aligns the timing of the light and electrical signals;

[0069] The UVA signal is phase-locked and amplified to suppress ambient light noise.

[0070] Further preferably, the noise suppression of the UVA signal includes:

[0071] Adopting digital phase-locked amplification technology, the UVA signal is modulated into a square wave through a mechanical chopper (frequency 1kHz), and the ambient light noise is suppressed to a low-frequency component, and the signal-to-noise ratio is improved by ≥20dB;

[0072] The effective signal is extracted by digital phase-locked amplification technology. The formula is:

[0073]

[0074] Where S(t) is the UVA signal modulated by the mechanical chopper; sin(2πft) is the reference signal, whose frequency is synchronized with the mechanical chopper; T = 10 ms is the integration time window;

[0075] Extract the denoised UVA photon event signal for subsequent PHR statistics.

[0076] In step 2, the photon hit rate (PHR) is extracted based on the preprocessed UVA signal, the peak intensity of the solar blind band (PISB) is extracted from the solar blind signal, the dual-band photoelectric characteristics are jointly analyzed, and the discharge value is calibrated using a nonlinear regression model.

[0077] Preferably, if Figure 3 As shown, in step 2, calibrating the discharge value by using a nonlinear regression model includes:

[0078] The PHR in the UVA band and the PISB in the solar blind band were statistically analyzed to establish a nonlinear regression model with the discharge amount:

[0079] Q=k1·PHR+k2·PISB+γ·(PHR·PISB)

[0080] Among them, k1, k2, and γ are calibrated by a standard pulse discharge source, and the calibration error is ≤±3%.

[0081] Further preferably, the discharge value Q is calibrated by a nonlinear regression model, input into the defect diagnosis model and stored in the database, and the discharge threshold Q is set and regularly modified based on historical data. T , when Q>Q T When the threshold Q T Adjust accordingly based on the false alarm rate. For example, if the false alarm rate is > 10%, the discharge threshold is set to 1.2Q. T The adjustment range is adjusted according to the requirements for the false alarm rate. The false alarm rate calculation rules are as follows:

[0082]

[0083] Step 3: Dynamic range enhancement is performed on the UVA image, which is then fused with the solar-blind band image. The contour fractal features of the discharge channel are extracted based on the dual-band fused image.

[0084] Preferably, in step 3, performing dynamic range enhancement on the UVA image includes:

[0085] Traditional CLAHE uses a fixed threshold or global statistical value to crop the histogram, usually using larger blocks such as 64×64, which may cause the loss of local details and does not integrate a noise reduction module. This paper adopts an improved CLAHE algorithm, calculates an adaptive cropping threshold based on image characteristics, performs histogram cropping and equalization on UVA low-light image blocks (32×32), and adds bilateral filtering processing:

[0086]

[0087] Where H(i) is the number of pixels at the i-th gray level in the histogram; T clip is the clipping threshold, T clip = 0.02·average histogram value, the average histogram value is the average value of the number of all grayscale pixels; H clip (i) is the cropped histogram;

[0088] Combined with bilateral filtering for noise reduction, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is increased to over 45dB. The kernel function is:

[0089]

[0090] Where I(x) and I(y) represent the grayscale values ​​at pixel positions x and y, respectively; the spatial standard deviation σ s =3 and gray value standard deviation σ r = 0.1 controls the spatial proximity and grayscale similarity of the filters respectively.

[0091] Compared with the traditional CLAHE algorithm, the improved CLAHE algorithm adopted in the present invention can achieve the following technical effects:

[0092] 1. The dynamic range of low-light images is expanded by more than 40%, making the originally invisible <5μW / cm 2 The morphology of weak discharge can be identified (dynamic threshold clipping);

[0093] 2. The 32×32 block strategy reduces the local contrast enhancement error to ≤±3%, reducing block artifacts by 50% compared to traditional methods;

[0094] 3. The SNR is increased to over 45dB (traditional CLAHE is about 32dB), effectively suppressing ambient light interference in the UVA band (bilateral filtering denoising processing).

[0095] Preferably, in step 3, the dual-band image fusion includes:

[0096] Combined with the solar-blind band image, the solar-blind and dynamic range-enhanced UVA image is subjected to a three-layer Daubechies-4 wavelet decomposition;

[0097] Weighted fusion of low-frequency coefficients (sun blind weight 0.7, UVA weight 0.3);

[0098] The solar-blind ultraviolet band (240-280nm) has minimal interference from sunlight, and its low-frequency component signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is generally higher than that of the UVA band (320-400nm). Through experimental calibration, the solar-blind band's low-frequency coefficient weight is set to 0.7, which can retain more stable background structure and main discharge channel information; the UVA band weight is set to 0.3 to supplement low-light details while suppressing its low-frequency noise. In addition, when ambient lighting conditions change drastically (for example, rainy weather can cause increased noise in the UVA band), the system calculates the local contrast and SNR of the low-frequency components of the dual-band in real time and dynamically adjusts the weight ratio. When the UVA band SNR drops below the threshold (<40dB), the solar-blind weight is increased to 0.8 and the UVA weight is reduced to 0.2, prioritizing the structural integrity of the fused image.

[0099] The high frequency coefficient is maximized by taking the absolute value method.

[0100] After completing the wavelet coefficient processing, the fused image needs to be reconstructed through inverse wavelet transform. The specific steps are as follows:

[0101] The fused low-frequency and high-frequency coefficients are transformed using a three-layer inverse wavelet transform, reconstructing the high-frequency and low-frequency components at each scale layer by layer. The reconstructed components are then superimposed in the reverse order of the wavelet decomposition to generate a dual-band fused image. After reconstruction, the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) are calculated between the fused image and the original image to ensure a reconstruction error of ≤2% and the absence of block artifacts or spectral distortion.

[0102] Preferably, in step 3, extracting the contour fractal features of the discharge channel includes:

[0103] The pixel-level vector positioning algorithm is used to extract the morphological features (fractal dimension) of the discharge channel contour based on the box counting method:

[0104]

[0105] The minimum number of boxes N(ε) covering the discharge channel varies with the box size ε, and the calculation error is ≤±0.02.

[0106] Step 4: Input the dual-band photoelectric features and image features into the pre-trained deep learning model to obtain the discharge defect type and confidence level of the device under test.

[0107] Preferably, step 4 includes:

[0108] The spectral features (PHR, PISB), image features (fractal dimension, area), and discharge value (Q) are input into the trained classification model to output the defect type and confidence level.

[0109] Preferably, if Figure 4 As shown, the deep learning model includes:

[0110] A database containing discharge spectra, image features, and defect types is constructed. The fused features are classified based on a deep learning model, and the defect types and severity are output. The defect types include surface creepage, tip corona, and spark discharge.

[0111] The deep learning model architecture is:

[0112] The backbone network uses ResNet-50 and introduces a channel attention mechanism (SEBlock) to enhance the feature weight of the discharge area;

[0113] The input features are spectral parameters (PHR, PISB), discharge value (Q), and image features (fractal dimension);

[0114] It uses the Softmax classifier and supports three types of defects and confidence output.

[0115] Preferably, the step 4 further comprises:

[0116] After obtaining the discharge defect type and confidence level of the equipment under test, store them in the database together with the discharge value Q, fractal dimension data, and time series data. The insulation life is predicted by statistically analyzing the monthly average change rate of the Q value. If the annual average growth rate of the Q value is >20%, it is recommended to shorten the maintenance cycle. If the Q value is stable but the fractal dimension continues to decline for three consecutive months, it indicates that there is a diffusion risk in the discharge channel and it needs to be checked in depth.

[0117] To address the problems of incomplete discharge spectrum information, low cross-spectral fusion efficiency and manual reliance on defect classification in existing methods, the present invention uses microsecond-level synchronous acquisition of optical and electrical signals, and calibrates the discharge value based on a nonlinear regression model of photon event rate (PHR) and peak light intensity. The calibration error is controlled within ±3%. Combining fractal dimension features with the ResNet-50+SEB deep learning model, automatic defect type classification is achieved with an accuracy rate of ≥95% and a confidence level of ≥98%, greatly improving diagnostic efficiency.

[0118] like Figure 2As shown, the present invention provides an insulation discharge defect detection system based on the dual bands of solar-blind ultraviolet and UVA in Example 2. Based on the insulation discharge defect detection method based on the dual bands of solar-blind ultraviolet and UVA described in Example 1, the system includes:

[0123] An image processing module, connected to the dual-band ultraviolet imaging module, is used to perform dynamic range expansion, image fusion, and fractal feature extraction on the solar blind and UVA dual-band images to generate fused discharge morphology features;

[0124] The defect diagnosis module is connected to the photoelectric synchronous analysis module and the image processing module, and is used to input the photoelectric characteristics and image fractal characteristics into the deep learning model, where the photoelectric characteristics include PHR, PISB and Q, and output the defect type and severity.

[0125] Preferably, the dual-band ultraviolet sensor module includes:

[0126] Solar-blind UV sensor: Hamamatsu C13959-01 is selected, with a response wavelength of 240-280nm and a quantum efficiency of ≥30%, used to capture strong discharge signals and resist sunlight interference;

[0128] Wideband current sensor: equipped with Pearson4118, bandwidth 1Hz-10MHz, sensitivity 0.1V / A, synchronous measurement of discharge current pulses.

[0129] It should be noted that, in order to address the problems in the prior art such as the fuzzy selection of ultraviolet bands leading to weak anti-interference ability, the insufficient dynamic range under weak light conditions causing the loss of discharge morphology details, and the lack of quantitative correlation between discharge value and defect type relying on manual experience, the present invention provides a dual-band collaborative detection mechanism of day-blind ultraviolet and UVA, combined with the improved CLAHE (Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization) algorithm and wavelet fusion technology, which achieves significant enhancement of anti-interference ability in complex environments and expansion of the dynamic range of weak light images by more than 40%, so that weak discharge morphology can be clearly identified, while the signal-to-noise ratio is improved to more than 45dB, effectively retaining the discharge details.
