TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ship power test, in particular to a multi-modal collaborative accelerated test system and method based on a digital twin model. BACKGROUND
[0002] The existing ship power system accelerated test has the following defects: first, the traditional ship power system test method highly depends on the direct operation test of the entity system. This method not only needs to invest a large amount of manpower and material resources, but also has a long test cycle and high cost. Due to the complexity and diversity of actual operation conditions, the entity test often cannot cover all possible operation scenarios and boundary conditions, which leads to the possibility of one-sidedness of the test results, and the actual performance of the power system cannot be fully reflected. Second, the power system generates various types of data during operation, including sensor data, image data, sound data, etc. These data contain rich information, which is crucial for the performance evaluation and optimization of the power system. However, the traditional test method can only process a single type of data, and cannot effectively fuse and analyze these multi-dimensional data. This leads to the fact that the test personnel cannot fully and deeply understand the actual operation state of the power system, and cannot dig out potential problems and optimization space from the data, thereby seriously affecting the efficiency and accuracy of the development and test of the power system. Third, the traditional ship power system monitoring mainly relies on manual experience and simple instruments. This method has many limitations, such as limited monitoring range, insufficient accuracy, poor real-time performance, etc. Manual monitoring is often limited by experience and knowledge level, and cannot fully and accurately identify abnormalities and potential faults in the system. Simple instruments may not provide sufficient monitoring data and accuracy, leading to misjudgment or missed judgment of the system state. These problems not only affect the real-time grasp of the operation state of the ship power system, but also may pose a potential threat to the safety and reliability of the system. SUMMARY

[0045] For each set of measurements obtained from the sensor, the maximum measurement value in this set of data is normalized to calculate Y. j `(n)=Y j (n) / Max(Y j (n))j=1,2,...,N,n=1,2,...,I,whereMax(Y) j (n) represents the maximum measurement value of the j-th sensor within the estimated length I, Y j `(n) represents the normalized measurement value of the j-th sensor;
[0046] Each sensor is assigned a different weight based on its type, resulting in an estimated value Yx for the measurements Y from the N sensors after weighting.
[0047]
[0048] Then, the estimated value Yx is denormalized to obtain the fused data from each sensor.
[0049] As one embodiment, the accelerated testing system analyzes the dataset, including the following steps: Analyzing and calculating the dataset using data analysis and data mining techniques to obtain analysis results; comparing the efficiency and stability in the analysis results with a set first standard value to identify potential problems with the current pure electric ship propulsion system; dividing the propulsion power in the analysis results by the sum of battery production carbon emissions and operating energy consumption to obtain the navigation carbon efficiency ratio; judging the environmental performance of the current pure electric ship propulsion system based on the navigation carbon efficiency ratio and the IMO Tier III standard (the IMO Tier III standard is a strict limit standard for ship nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to reduce the negative impact of ships on the environment and human health); generating parameter adjustment commands based on optimization suggestions and sending the parameter adjustment commands to the pure electric ship propulsion system to adjust its hardware parameters; generating compliance optimization suggestions based on the IMO Tier III standard, such as adjusting the propulsion curve to reduce peak power consumption.

Through descriptive statistics and visualization methods, data analysis helps users understand the basic characteristics and distribution of data. This information provides the basis for data mining, helping users choose appropriate data mining algorithms and models. Data mining is a deepening of data analysis. Through machine learning and statistical methods, data mining discovers hidden patterns and regularities in data. These patterns and regularities can be further used for data analysis, helping users better understand the data and make decisions. In practice, data analysis and data mining are often used together. For example, after understanding the basic characteristics of data through data analysis, data mining algorithms are used to discover patterns and regularities in the data, and then data analysis is used to verify the validity of these patterns and regularities.
[0055] Data analysis and data mining are two important methods for processing and utilizing data. Data analysis focuses on describing and interpreting data, helping users understand its basic characteristics and distribution; data mining, on the other hand, focuses on discovering hidden patterns and regularities within data to support decision-making. They are widely used in fields such as business intelligence, finance, healthcare, and industrial manufacturing. By combining data analysis and data mining, data can be utilized more effectively, improving the scientific rigor and accuracy of decision-making.

Moreover, a multimodal data fusion and analysis method is designed, which can simultaneously process multiple types of data, such as sensor data and image data, achieving comprehensive data integration and in-depth mining. This yields more comprehensive and richer information, providing a deeper understanding of the power system's operating status and performance, offering more comprehensive information support for power system research and development and testing, and laying the foundation for subsequent optimization and improvement. Meanwhile, by collecting and analyzing a large amount of data during the operation of the ship's power system, and using data mining and machine learning algorithms, we can achieve comprehensive monitoring and early warning of the system's operating status. This enables us to promptly detect anomalies and potential faults in the system, providing strong support for timely maintenance and repair.
