Obviously, the drawings described below are some embodiments of the present invention.

[0041] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] The grid stability challenges caused by the large-scale integration of renewable energy have prompted the transformation of the role of hydropower units from traditional power generation to frequency regulation and grid support, which in turn has placed higher requirements on the performance of guide bearings. Their performance degradation assessment has become a core link in ensuring the safe operation of the units. Guide bearings are the key radial support structure of the rotating components of hydropower generator units. Once performance degradation occurs, it will directly lead to chain failures such as increased vibration, abnormal temperature rise, and even unplanned shutdown of the unit. The difference between stable and transient states during unit operation has a significant impact on guide bearing degradation assessment and maintenance strategies. Transient processes (such as start-up and shutdown, power regulation) will accelerate bearing fatigue and performance degradation, while stable operation is more conducive to capturing reliable state characteristics due to the smooth power output. Therefore, real-time evaluation of guide bearing vibration data under stable operating conditions can not only identify potential faults in advance to support predictive maintenance, but also improve operational reliability and energy efficiency through long-term performance trend analysis. However, current assessment methods primarily rely on variable speed data from stability tests or stable operating condition monitoring data at specific points (e.g., new unit commissioning or after maintenance), and perform manual offline judgments. This model, due to the discrete nature of the tests, cannot provide online early warning of faults. Furthermore, due to the limitations of manual rules, it struggles to meet the requirements for quantifying real-time performance degradation. Therefore, the present invention provides a method for evaluating the performance of guide bearings in turbine units.

[0043] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a method for evaluating the performance of a guide bearing of a machine unit is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0044] In this embodiment, a method for evaluating the performance of a guide bearing of a unit is provided. Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for evaluating the performance of a guide bearing of a machine set according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0045] Step S101: Acquire the time series of the unit operation.

[0046] Collecting time series data from hydropower stations during the operation of hydropower units involves using specific data acquisition equipment or systems to continuously record relevant data during the operation of the hydropower units at regular intervals. This data is then arranged in chronological order to form time series data for the units' operation. This time series includes power output data, as well as other relevant parameters such as unit speed, guide vane opening, and guide bearing vibration.

[0047] Step S102 , dividing the time series of the unit operation to determine the time series of different operation periods.

[0048] The operating period includes a stable operating period and a transient operating period. After collecting the time series of the unit operation, the time series data can be preprocessed. The preprocessing includes smoothing the collected power output time series data and removing noise.

[0049] Based on the power output time series, the key time nodes for switching the unit operating conditions are identified, so that the continuous operation data can be divided into several independent time periods, and different operating periods can be clearly distinguished, including stable operation periods and transient operation periods, so as to determine the number of stable operation periods and transient operation periods in each working cycle.

[0050] Specifically, based on the characteristics of parameter changes during unit operation, such as whether the parameters remain relatively stable within a certain range or whether there are significant rapid fluctuations, the entire time series is divided into different operating periods, thereby clearly distinguishing the time series corresponding to stable operation periods and the time series corresponding to transient operation periods. Stable operation periods are periods of relatively stable operation, with relatively small changes in unit parameters. Transient operation periods are periods of rapid changes in unit parameters and a transitional operating state.

[0051] Step S103 : extracting the state features of the time series of different operating periods to determine the operating state of the unit.

[0052] For the time series of each defined operating period, feature extraction is performed on each time series, including the statistical features of the power data, which include the mean value and standard deviation within the period. Features reflecting operational smoothness, such as the mean value and standard deviation, are extracted from the time series of stable operating periods. Features reflecting the severity of operational changes, such as the rate of change and peak value, are extracted from the time series of transient operating periods. By analyzing these state features, the specific operating status of the unit in different operating periods can be accurately determined.

[0053] Specifically, when analyzing state characteristics, a density clustering algorithm can be used to cluster the state characteristics, thereby classifying the time period as a stable operating state or a transient operating state. Different operating states can be characterized by defining characteristics, and only when the defined characteristics are met can the time series be marked as the corresponding operating state.

[0054] Step S104: determining a performance evaluation result of the guide bearing based on the monitoring data during the steady-state operation period.

[0055] Before evaluating the guide bearing's performance, we first screened the data corresponding to the steady-state operating period identified earlier. Transient data often contains a large amount of impact noise and transient response unrelated to the bearing's actual condition. If these are included in the analysis, the determination of interference degradation trends will be affected. Therefore, in this step, the guide bearing's performance is evaluated only based on the steady-state data.

[0056] Based on step S103, the operating state of each operating period has been calibrated, and the steady-state operating period within each operating cycle is screened out. Based on the data of the screened steady-state operating period, for each stable working cycle, an indicator that can reflect the vibration energy level, such as the root mean square value (RMS) of the vibration acceleration, is calculated. The root mean square value is an integral representation of the energy intensity of the vibration acceleration signal in the time domain, which can reflect the overall level of vibration energy during bearing operation and is directly related to the mechanical forces inside the bearing (such as oil film pressure fluctuations between the journal and the bearing shell, metal contact friction, and impact caused by loose components). Compared with indicators such as peak or kurtosis, RMS has a higher monitoring sensitivity for early, slow-changing wear degradation and can more stably capture the effects of small energy accumulation.

[0057] Dynamic statistical analysis is performed on indicators reflecting vibration energy levels over multiple working cycles. Specifically, a dynamic statistical model can be constructed to analyze the evolution trend and fluctuation range of indicators reflecting vibration energy levels, thereby determining the performance changes of the guide bearings during the operation of the unit, including the performance degradation trend.

[0058] Taking the root mean square value as an example, the root mean square value of the vibration in each working cycle under the stable operation state of the unit is statistically analyzed, and then the changes in the mean value and standard deviation are determined based on the root mean square value, so as to evaluate the performance of the guide bearing.

[0059] The method for evaluating the performance of a generator set guide bearing provided in this embodiment includes obtaining a time series of generator set operation; segmenting the time series to determine time series for different operating periods, wherein the operating periods include stable operating periods and transient operating periods; extracting state characteristics of the time series for different operating periods to determine the generator set operating status; and determining a performance evaluation result for the guide bearing based on the generator set operating status. This method can identify the generator set operating status, including steady-state operation and transient operation, in implementation data, thereby evaluating the performance of the guide bearing based on monitoring data under steady-state operation. This process requires no human intervention, improves the monitoring accuracy of the status of key equipment such as the generator set guide bearing, reduces downtime caused by equipment failure, enhances the operational reliability of the hydropower station, and improves the efficiency of operation monitoring.

[0060] In this embodiment, a method for evaluating the performance of a guide bearing of a machine set is provided, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0061] Step S201, obtain the time series of the unit operation. Figure 1 Step S101 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0062] Step S202 , dividing the time series of the unit operation to determine the time series of different operation periods.

[0063] Specifically, step S202 includes:

[0064] Step S2021: preprocess the time series to obtain a preprocessed time series.

[0065] Step S2022 , detecting the change points in the time series, and segmenting the time series based on the change points to determine the time series of different operating periods.

[0066] The collected power output time series data is preprocessed. First, a sliding average or low-pass filtering technique is used for smoothing and denoising, effectively filtering out high-frequency random noise introduced by sensor drift and electromagnetic interference, while retaining the low-frequency trend component that represents the actual load change of the unit. Based on the start-stop logic signal of the thrust bearing pump (the pump start signifies the unit is put into operation, and the stop sign indicates the unit is out of operation), the complete working cycle interval is accurately extracted, and non-power generation state data such as cold standby and phase adjustment mode are strictly excluded to ensure that the analyzed data comes from the effective power generation process. Finally, for each independent working cycle, the statistical characteristics of its power data are calculated separately, including the mean and standard deviation of all power values ​​in the cycle. Among them, the mean value can reflect the steady-state load level, and the standard deviation can reflect the stability of operation. The two together constitute the core feature vector that describes the operating conditions of the unit, providing standardized input for subsequent operating state segmentation and degradation assessment.

[0067] Detect the change points in the unit power output time series. The change points are used to represent the boundaries of different operating periods. The generator active power output time series is recorded as: y = (y1, y2, ..., y n ), assuming that there are m change points, their respective positions are represented by τ=(τ1,τ2,…,τ m ) indicates that each change point is an integer between 1 and (n-1), such that 0 = τ0﹤τ1﹤τ2﹤…﹤τ m ﹤τ m+1 =n, and the order of the change points satisfies τ if and only if i﹤j i ﹤τ j Therefore, m change points can divide the power output time series y into m+1 segments, where the jth segment is expressed as

[0068] In some optional implementations, detecting a change point in the time series includes determining an objective function based on a penalty factor, and determining the change point in the time series based on the objective function.

[0069] Change point detection is formulated as an optimization problem for a sequence segmentation τ, where the segmentation τ is given by a function.

[0070]

[0071] Where C represents the cost function of a certain segment, β represents the penalty factor, and m represents the number of change points.

[0072] The objective function G(n) is:

[0073]

[0074] Where G(n) represents the objective function. Suppose there are m change points, and the position of the change point is represented by τ=(τ 1,τ2,…,τ m )express.

[0075] Select L2 norm as the cost function:

[0076]

[0077] in, express The mean of the series.

[0078] The penalty factor β is determined by the sensitivity parameter S and the length n of the power output time series. The penalty factor β is determined according to the following formula:

[0079] β=(0.25n) (1-S) 2log(n)

[0080] Wherein, n represents the length of the time series, S represents the sensitivity parameter, and the sensitivity parameter can be set to 1, that is, β = 2log(n).

[0081] Step S203 : extracting the state features of the time series of different operating periods to determine the operating state of the unit.

[0082] Specifically, step S203 includes:

[0083] Step S2031 , extracting features from the time series of different operating time periods to obtain features corresponding to the time series of each operating time period.

[0084] Furthermore, step S2031 includes: calculating the mean and standard deviation of the time series of different operating time periods, and generating features corresponding to the time series of each operating time period based on the mean and standard deviation.

[0085] Select each non-overlapping time window T s The mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ) of are used as input features. The sampling frequency is f s , the time window is T, then each time window includes x=f s T data points. Features f of the i-th time window i Defined as:

[0086]

[0087] If the final data window contains less than x data points, it is excluded from the consideration range. The clustering features of each time window are combined into features F = [f1, f2, ...], which are used as the input parameters for subsequent clustering. For example, take f s =0.1Hz, T s =60s, each time window includes 6 data points.

[0088] Step S2032: cluster the features and determine the unit operation status based on the clustering results.

[0089] The unit operating status includes the identification results of stable operation periods. The adaptive DBSCAN algorithm is used to identify stable and transient operation processes. DBSCAN (Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) is a density-based clustering algorithm that can identify clusters of arbitrary shapes and effectively handle noisy data. The DBSCAN algorithm is an unsupervised machine learning clustering algorithm.

[0090] Given that the changes in the two key parameters will significantly affect the clustering results of the DBSCAN algorithm, and the frequent switching of unit operating conditions will cause the fixed MinPts and Eps parameters to be unable to effectively cluster all working periods, it is impractical to select more appropriate parameters through manual combination iteration. Therefore, given Eps = [Eps1, Eps2,…, Eps k ] set, the number of clusters based on DBSCAN is fine-tuned by Eps, thus proposing an adaptive DBSCAN algorithm that can adapt to the identification of variable operating conditions of the unit. The present invention takes the Eps range as [0.1, 10] with an interval of 0.01.

[0091] In this embodiment, a power output data time series lasting 3 minutes or longer is classified as a stable operation process, and thus MinPts=3.

[0092] The process is as follows:

[0093] (1) Find the number of segments whose duration exceeds MinPts among the N segments determined by the PELT algorithm and record it as M;

[0094] (2) Initialize Eps opt Any element Eps in the Eps set j , e min is infinite (e min is an error, which can be set based on actual conditions and is a positive integer);

[0095] (3) Use EPS j Execute the DBSCAN algorithm with MinPts to cluster the feature F and return the number of clusters T;

[0096] (4) Determine whether T is equal to M. If |TM| = e min , then set Eps opt =Eps j , end clustering; if |TM|=<e min , Update Eps opt For EPSj , e min for |TM|;

[0097] (5) Repeat steps (3) and (4) until |TM| = e min End clustering;

[0098] (6) Output the identification results of the unit’s stable operation process.

[0099] Step S204: determining a performance evaluation result of the guide bearing based on the monitoring data during the steady-state operation period.

[0100] Specifically, step S204 includes:

[0101] Step S2041: filtering data based on the unit's operating status to obtain monitoring data marked as steady-state operation;

[0102] Step S2042, calculating the root mean square value of the monitoring data, and calculating the average value and standard deviation of the vibration of the computer group in each working cycle when the computer group is in a stable operating state based on the root mean square value;

[0103] Step S2043: Perform performance evaluation on the guide bearing based on the average value and the standard deviation to obtain a performance evaluation result of the guide bearing.

[0104] Taking the upper guide bearing as an example, the performance of the upper guide bearing is evaluated. Based on the real-time vibration monitoring data of the upper guide bearing obtained by the acceleration sensor, the root mean square value of each working cycle under the stable operating state is obtained. Specifically, the vibration signal data generated by the upper guide bearing during operation is first collected in real time by the acceleration sensor, and then the time period when the unit is in a stable operating state is screened out. The vibration data in these time periods are divided according to the preset working cycle (such as per minute, per hour, etc.), and then the root mean square value (RMS) of the vibration data in each working cycle is calculated. This value can effectively reflect the energy of the vibration, thereby obtaining the vibration RMS value sequence corresponding to each working cycle.

[0105] After obtaining the RMS vibration values ​​for each operating cycle, statistical analysis is performed on the RMS values ​​to calculate the average value of the RMS vibration values ​​for all stable operating cycles. This average value represents the average level of vibration of the upper guide bearing during stable operation of the unit. The standard deviation of the RMS values ​​is also calculated. The standard deviation reflects the degree of dispersion of the RMS vibration values ​​during different operating cycles, that is, the fluctuation of the vibration amplitude. The average value and standard deviation can provide a preliminary understanding of the vibration characteristics and stability of the upper guide bearing during stable operation.

[0106] Arrange the vibration RMS values ​​of each working cycle in chronological order and observe their changing trends over time. If the RMS value shows a continuous increase, an increased fluctuation amplitude, or an abnormal peak value, it indicates that the vibration energy of the upper guide bearing is increasing, and there may be performance degradation phenomena such as increased wear, poor lubrication, or loose components. Combined with the statistical results of the mean and standard deviation, if the RMS value gradually deviates from the mean in the later period and the standard deviation continues to increase, it can be further confirmed that the performance degradation trend is accelerating, thus providing a basis for predicting bearing failures and formulating maintenance plans.

[0107] The guide bearing performance evaluation method provided in this embodiment dynamically detects change points and adaptively adjusts algorithm parameters based on the detection results, improving adaptability to different operating modes of the hydropower unit. This allows accurate identification of steady-state and transient operating states, providing data support for evaluating guide bearing performance degradation. Guide bearing performance evaluation based on data from steady-state operation enables predictive maintenance, reduces maintenance costs, improves the monitoring accuracy of key equipment such as guide bearings, reduces downtime caused by equipment failure, enhances the operational reliability of hydropower stations, provides technical support for intelligent operation and maintenance of hydropower stations, and promotes the development of hydropower stations towards intelligence and automation.
