Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent operation and maintenance of electric power equipment, and in particular to a method for monitoring the state of electric power equipment based on an adaptive neural network. Background Art

[0002] In existing power systems, equipment condition monitoring, as a crucial foundation for ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power grid, has become a core component of intelligent O&M for transmission, distribution, and consumer terminals. Traditional condition monitoring methods primarily rely on manual inspections, scheduled maintenance, and alarm mechanisms based on fixed thresholds. These methods suffer from coarse detection granularity, significant response delays, and limited diagnostic accuracy, making them incapable of meeting the demands for refined identification of equipment operating status and predictive maintenance in complex operating scenarios. With the application of IoT technology, multi-source sensors are widely deployed in power equipment, enabling real-time collection of multi-dimensional operating data such as temperature, voltage, current, harmonics, and vibration, providing a data foundation for digital monitoring. However, relying solely on raw data collection and simple rule-based judgments remains insufficient to fully explore the underlying patterns in power equipment's operating behavior.

[0003] In recent years, deep learning technology has been gradually introduced into the field of power equipment status assessment, enabling the fitting and prediction of complex nonlinear relationships by constructing neural network models. However, existing methods mostly use static neural networks and lack the ability to dynamically adjust the model structure to different equipment and operating conditions. This results in insufficient model generalization performance and makes it difficult to adapt to the diversity and volatility of equipment status. Furthermore, most current models focus solely on the accuracy of prediction results, neglecting the joint modeling of indicators such as failure risk and trend evolution. This makes it difficult for prediction results to fully reflect the health status of equipment, limiting the model's guiding value in actual operation and maintenance scenarios.

[0004] When it comes to model optimization, existing strategies often rely on standard gradient descent methods such as SGD or Adam. These methods are prone to falling into local optima in models with complex structures, large parameter spaces, and significant non-convexity, and lack global search capabilities. Furthermore, the structural optimization process is often disconnected from the model training process, making it impossible to effectively jointly optimize network parameters such as spline function control points and path connection methods, hindering overall model performance.

[0005] Based on the above problems, the existing power equipment condition monitoring technology has technical bottlenecks such as poor structural adaptability, incomplete indicator coverage, and limited optimization strategies. There is an urgent need for an intelligent condition monitoring method that has structural adaptability, supports multi-dimensional state joint evaluation, and integrates efficient structural optimization algorithms to improve the accuracy, adaptability, and practicality of equipment monitoring.

Compared to traditional static network models, this approach boasts structural adaptability, stronger optimization strategies, and a more comprehensive evaluation dimension. This improves the model's accuracy and adaptability under complex operating conditions, significantly enhancing the ability to detect fault trends early on.

[0055] In this embodiment, the time alignment and format unification of S1 include: setting a unified time sampling interval for the voltage signal, current signal, temperature signal, harmonic signal and vibration signal respectively, and reconstructing the time axis of data with different sampling frequencies using interpolation method to generate a data matrix with a unified time step; uniformly processing the data format of various signals, converting the original signal into a fixed-length numerical sequence or vector form, encoding it with a unified data structure and storing it in the input data set.

[0056] To address the issue of differences in time series data collection, the present invention introduces a unified time alignment mechanism and data format standardization solution to ensure that voltage, current, temperature and other signals from multiple sensors can be processed synchronously.

[0064] S35, perform several scale spline coupling fusions on the output representations of all activated paths and the current main path representation, and construct a fusion representation sequence H = {h1,h2,…,h T}, describing the time evolution characteristics of the power equipment status.

[0065] The skip slicing module constructed in this paper introduces a multi-segment spline function subnetwork and a path selection control unit, enabling dynamic activation of modeling paths based on input features. This addresses the issues of fixed structure and sluggish response in existing neural networks. By coupling multi-scale path outputs, the model's ability to distinguish between different state modes and its structural flexibility are effectively enhanced, making it particularly suitable for applications where power equipment operating conditions are complex and changeable.

[0066] In this embodiment, the S4 specifically includes:

[0067] S41, construct the standardized running data into an input sequence X={x1,x2,…,x T}, where x t is the multi-source feature vector at time step t, which is input into the neural slice network model containing the skip-slice module;

[0068] S42: In the neural slice network model, the input sequence X is processed by multi-segment spline function sub-network and skip path selection in sequence to obtain a fusion state representation sequence H = {h1, h2, ..., h T}, where h t is the state feature representation vector at time step t;

[0069] S43, input the fusion state representation sequence H into the state evaluation output module, and generate the initial state evaluation result Y={(y1,r1),(y2,r2),…,(y T ,r T )}, where y t represents the running status classification label at time step t, r t Indicates the corresponding fault risk score value.

[0070] The present invention applies the aforementioned structure to the actual data processing process.

It has the dual output capabilities of state classification and risk scoring. Compared with the traditional single-label classification method, the output structure of the present invention is richer and the information value is higher, which helps to comprehensively judge the current and potential operating status of the equipment.

[0071] In this embodiment, the S5 specifically includes:

[0072] S51, based on the initial state evaluation result Y={(y1,r1),(y2,r2),…,(y T ,r T )} and the standard answer to construct the loss function L, where y t Represents the running status classification label, r t represents the fault risk score value, and the loss function L considers both classification error and regression error;

[0073] S52. Define the search parameter space of the spectral ant oscillation optimization algorithm, including the control point set C = {c1, c2, ..., c m}、Skip path connection weight set W={w i,j} and the path activation threshold set Θ = {θ i,j};

After the maximum number of iterations or the convergence threshold condition is met, the control point set C corresponding to the individual that minimizes the loss function is selected. * , connection weight set W * With the activation threshold set Θ* , used to update the structural parameter configuration of the neural slice network model.

[0077] This paper introduces the spectral ant oscillation optimization algorithm into the neural network structural parameter optimization process, constructing a joint parameter space consisting of spline control points, jump path weights, and activation thresholds. This overcomes the limitation of traditional deep learning models that only optimize weights, improving structural adaptability and model performance. This method possesses strong global search capabilities, avoids local optimality, and ensures comprehensive improvements in model stability and generalization.

[0078] In this embodiment, the search parameter space of the spectral ant oscillation optimization algorithm is defined in S52, which includes: constructing a parameter vector v = [C, W, Θ], wherein the spline function control point set C = {c1, c2, ..., c m} represents the node position and number of the piecewise cubic spline function in each layer of the neural slice network, and the jump path connection weight set W = {w i,j} represents the jump path weight between layer i and layer j, and the path activation threshold set Θ = {θ i,j} represents the threshold parameter that controls the activation state of the jump path from the i-th layer to the j-th layer; the parameter vector v is used as the search individual representation of the spectral ant oscillation optimization algorithm, and the search range is limited to the continuous feasible space within the preset parameter boundary, which serves as the basis for subsequent ant colony initialization and perturbation operations.

[0079] When constructing the parameter space of the spectral ant oscillation optimization algorithm, the present invention incorporates structural parameters such as spline function control points, path connection weights and activation thresholds into a unified optimization framework for the first time, clarifies the dependencies and optimization boundaries between structural levels, improves the integrity of the optimization operation and the refinement of the model tuning, and provides an algorithmic basis for dynamic structural adjustment, which is significantly different from traditional optimization strategies.

[0080] In this embodiment, the optimized neural slice network model in S6 is reprocessed with standardized operation data, including updating the neural slice network model structure using the optimal spline function control points, jump path connection weights and path activation thresholds, using the standardized operation data as input, performing a complete forward calculation on the model, generating a new fusion state representation result, and the state evaluation module outputs the final operation state classification, fault risk score and trend prediction results to form comprehensive state evaluation information.

[0081] After optimizing structural parameters, the present invention reprocesses the same input data based on the optimized neural slice network model, outputting a fused state representation and complete evaluation results, achieving linkage consistency between model structure and functional output. This mechanism significantly improves the reliability and stability of the final evaluation, resolving the disconnect between structural optimization and evaluation output in traditional algorithms.

[0082] In this embodiment, the S7 inputs the comprehensive status assessment information into the power operation and maintenance system, including: uniformly formatting the operating status classification results, fault risk scores and trend prediction results into visual status data, and synchronizing them to the power operation and maintenance system through the operation and maintenance interface module, to realize the display of equipment status charts, push of abnormal working condition warning information and update of health management records, and support real-time monitoring, decision reference and risk intervention operations of operation and maintenance personnel.

[0083] This invention formats the final comprehensive status assessment results and directly connects them to the power operation and maintenance system, enabling multi-dimensional visualization and alert push of operating status, risk scoring, and trend forecasts. This enhances the interpretability and application efficiency of the model results in practical systems. Compared to traditional models that require secondary processing, this invention offers greater system integration capabilities and practical application value.

[0084] Example 1:

[0085] To verify the feasibility and effectiveness of this invention, we applied it to a remote monitoring system for 110kV power transmission and transformation equipment at a comprehensive energy company. This system was deployed at multiple locations, covering key nodes such as transformers, circuit breakers, voltage transformers, current transformers, and distribution buses. Its goal was to achieve online intelligent identification of equipment operating status, early warning of risk trends, and visual analysis of status information.

[0086] In this scenario, the existing monitoring system primarily relied on a fixed threshold-triggered alarm mechanism, supplemented by periodic manual inspections. This resulted in high false alarm rates, delayed responses, and insufficient status detail. Sensor data fluctuations increased significantly under high-temperature, high-load, aging equipment, or harmonic interference conditions. Existing algorithm models were unable to effectively identify nonlinear fluctuation patterns, often leading to misjudgments of status or delayed warnings, posing a threat to system safety.

[0087] To address these issues, the project team employed the adaptive neural network-based power equipment condition monitoring method described in this paper. Sensor nodes were deployed to collect multi-source time-series signal data, including temperature, voltage, current, harmonic components, and vibration, and a unified input data set was constructed. During data processing, missing value interpolation, sliding window anomaly removal, and min-max normalization were used to clean and standardize the raw equipment signals. The average single-point data missing recovery rate reached 98.4%, significantly improving the stability of subsequent models.

[0088] During the modeling phase, a neural slice network model integrating a skip-slice module was constructed. This model activates optimal paths between spline subnetworks of varying depths based on the dynamic changes in input features, enabling hierarchical modeling of device operational characteristics. A spectral ant oscillation optimization algorithm was also introduced to globally optimize the model's structural parameters, including spline function control points, skip-path connection weights, and activation thresholds. Ultimately, the resulting structural combination achieved the optimal convergence performance within the current device environment.

[0089] During the status assessment phase, the model simultaneously outputs operating status classification labels, equipment failure risk scores, and trend prediction values. Test data verified that the model's accuracy in the early detection of circuit breaker anomalies increased from 81.6% of traditional models to 94.2%. In temperature rise overload trend prediction, the prediction deviation decreased from a mean square error of 0.36 to 0.12. The risk score correlation index increased to 0.91, demonstrating strong interpretability and foresight. Within the system operation and maintenance platform, these status assessment results are automatically connected to a visualization interface for use in business processes such as status curve display, risk map distribution, and automatic work order generation, significantly improving the efficiency of fault intervention response and the accuracy of inspection resource allocation.

[0090] To support the experimental results, the project team compiled typical data samples and model evaluation results, as shown in the following table.

[0091] Table 1: Statistics of equipment condition monitoring model test results

[0092] Test indicators Original model performance The method of the present invention shows Running status classification accuracy (%) 81.6 94.2 <![CDATA[Fault risk score correlation (R 2 )]]> 0.72 0.91 Trend forecast mean square error (MSE) 0.36 0.12 Abnormal identification lead time (average minutes) 8.5 21.7 Data loss recovery rate (%) 75.3 98.4 Calculation delay (seconds per device) 2.8 3.1

[0093] The aforementioned "Equipment Condition Monitoring Model Test Results Statistics" demonstrates the performance advantages of the adaptive neural network-based power equipment condition monitoring method proposed in this paper in typical practical applications. By comparing it with the existing model, the improved accuracy, predictive power, data processing capabilities, and actual operational efficiency are comprehensively demonstrated across six key performance indicators.

[0094] First, in terms of operating status classification accuracy, the original model achieved an accuracy of 81.6%, while the proposed method increased this to 94.2%, an improvement of over 12%. This significantly enhances the ability to identify the operating status of power equipment, demonstrating that its structural adaptive mechanism is more suitable for processing complex fluctuating signals. Second, in terms of fault risk score correlation, the original model's score output had a correlation of only 0.72 with the actual results, while the proposed method achieved a correlation of 0.91, demonstrating that the optimized model can more accurately quantify potential equipment risks and is more valuable for operational and maintenance decision-making.

[0095] In terms of trend prediction performance, the mean square error of the proposed method decreased from 0.36 to 0.12, demonstrating its greater accuracy in modeling equipment operating trends. It is particularly suitable for identifying gradual anomalies such as overload and temperature rise. Regarding the anomaly identification lead time metric, the original model could identify anomalies an average of 8.5 minutes in advance, while the proposed method could identify anomalies 21.7 minutes earlier, a nearly threefold improvement. This provides more time for intervention by operation and maintenance personnel, improving accident prevention efficiency.

[0096] In terms of data processing capabilities, the proposed method significantly outperforms the original system in terms of missing data recovery rate, increasing from 75.3% to 98.4%. This demonstrates that its preprocessing modules (such as interpolation and cleaning algorithms) are more comprehensive and can effectively address the issue of incomplete sensor data under actual working conditions. Finally, in terms of real-time computing power, the two are similar. The proposed method has an average processing latency of 3.1 seconds on a single device, slightly higher than the original model's 2.8 seconds. However, this difference is completely acceptable in exchange for higher performance evaluation results.

[0097] In summary, this table fully verifies the actual effect of the method of the present invention in power equipment status monitoring, especially in terms of status recognition accuracy, risk judgment ability, trend prediction ability and data completion stability, showing good engineering practical value and deployment feasibility.

[0098] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
