[0054] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0055] The transformer winding strain monitoring method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 1 In the application environment shown, a computer device 102 communicates with an optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) system 104 via a wired or wireless method. When the optical fiber under test of the OFDR system detects strain in the transformer winding, the computer device can receive an electrical signal carrying the strain information from the OFDR system. The electrical signal is obtained by the OFDR system through photoelectric conversion of the collected beat frequency interference optical signal. The optical fiber under test is distributed on the surface of the transformer winding. The computer device can further perform frequency domain analysis based on the electrical signal to obtain the beat frequency indicated by the strain information and determine the strain parameter value of the transformer winding based on the beat frequency.

[0056] Computer equipment refers to electronic devices capable of computing, processing, and storing data. They can be terminals or servers. Terminals include, but are not limited to, various personal computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, drones, low-altitude aircraft, IoT devices, and portable wearable devices. IoT devices include smart speakers, smart TVs, smart air conditioners, smart car devices, and projectors. Portable wearable devices include smart watches, smart bracelets, and head-mounted devices. Head-mounted devices can include virtual reality (VR) devices, augmented reality (AR) devices, and smart glasses. Servers can be standalone physical servers, server clusters or distributed systems composed of multiple physical servers, or cloud servers providing cloud computing services.

[0057] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a transformer winding strain monitoring method is provided, which is applied to Figure 1 The computer device in the embodiment is used as an example to illustrate the method, which includes the following steps 202 to 206. Among them:

[0058] Step 202 : When the optical fiber to be tested of the optical frequency domain reflectometry system detects strain on the transformer winding, an electrical signal carrying the strain information is received; the electrical signal is obtained by the optical frequency domain reflectometry system performing photoelectric conversion on the collected beat frequency interference optical signal.

[0059] The optical fiber to be tested is distributed on the surface of the transformer winding. Distributed optical fiber sensors offer advantages such as full distribution, compact size, wide measurement range, and resistance to electromagnetic interference. The frequency domain reflectometer system includes a laser light source, a first coupler, a second coupler, a circulator, the optical fiber to be tested, a polarization controller, a polarization beam splitter, and a photodetector. Exemplarily, the first coupler can be a 99:1 coupler, and the second coupler can be a 50:50 coupler. Exemplarily, the laser light source can be a linearly swept laser light source.

[0060] Alternatively, when strain occurs in the transformer windings due to a transformer fault, the corresponding location in the optical fiber under test also experiences strain, causing changes in the Rayleigh backscattered light from the corresponding grating. These changes are detected by the OFDR system and the reference light to generate a beat frequency interference optical signal. This signal is then converted to photoelectricity and transmitted to a computer, which then calculates the strain parameter value based on the electrical signal.

[0061] Step 204: Perform frequency domain analysis based on the electrical signal to obtain a beat frequency indicated by the strain information.

[0062] Step 206: Determine a strain parameter value of the transformer winding based on the beat frequency.

[0063] The beat frequency refers to the frequency of the beat interference optical signal. The strain parameter value refers to a parameter describing the strain condition of the transformer winding, and may specifically include at least one of a strain value and a strain position. The strain value refers to a numerical value used to describe the magnitude of the strain.

[0064] Exemplarily, after receiving an electrical signal carrying strain information, the computer device can perform frequency domain analysis based on the electrical signal. For example, it can perform Fourier transform on the electrical signal to obtain the beat frequency indicated by the strain information. The strain position can then be calibrated and the strain value calculated based on the beat frequency to determine the strain parameter value of the transformer winding.

[0065] Optionally, the computer device may directly perform frequency domain analysis on the electrical signal to obtain the beat frequency indicated by the strain information. Optionally, the computer device may pre-process the electrical signal to filter out noise signals therein, and perform frequency domain analysis on the pre-processed electrical signal to obtain the beat frequency.

[0066] For example, the computer device can be based on the beat frequency, combined with the sweep rate , fiber refractive index n and light speed c to calculate the strain position, and the strain value is calculated by phase analysis. Specifically, the computer equipment can compare the phase difference before and after deformation: ,in is the central wavelength of the laser, and the strain value can be calculated: .

[0067] Exemplarily, the computer device may also generate a strain distribution map to reflect the strain position and strain value, trigger an alarm when the strain value exceeds a threshold, and transmit the alarm wirelessly to a monitoring center.

[0068] In the above-mentioned transformer winding strain monitoring method, when the optical fiber to be tested of the optical frequency domain reflection system detects strain in the transformer winding, an electrical signal carrying strain information is received. The electrical signal is obtained by the optical frequency domain reflection system performing photoelectric conversion on the collected beat frequency interference light signal. The optical fiber to be tested is distributed on the surface of the transformer winding. Frequency domain analysis is performed based on the electrical signal to obtain the beat frequency indicated by the strain information. Based on the beat frequency, the strain parameter value of the transformer winding is determined. Since the optical fiber in the optical frequency domain reflection system can accurately capture the strain changes of various parts of the blade, the beat frequency is obtained by receiving the electrical signal obtained by performing photoelectric conversion on the collected beat frequency interference light signal by the optical frequency domain reflection system and performing frequency domain analysis. The beat frequency can accurately express the strain information of the transformer winding, thereby determining the strain parameter value of the transformer winding based on the beat frequency, which can improve the accuracy of transformer winding strain monitoring.

[0069] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the electrical signal is generated by the following steps:

[0070] Step 302: A laser light source emits a laser signal, and the laser signal is divided into a reference light and a signal light by a first coupler. The reference light enters a polarization controller, and the signal light is injected into the optical fiber to be tested through a circulator.

[0071] Exemplarily, the laser light source may be a linear frequency-sweep laser light source that emits frequency-sweep laser light (in the range of 1530-1560 nm) at a fixed rate (eg, 50.23 nm / s) to ensure that the signal light covers the entire length of the optical fiber to be tested.

[0072] Step 304: Excite the signal light through the optical fiber to be tested to obtain a backward Rayleigh scattered signal; the backward Rayleigh scattered signal returns along the circulator.

[0073] Specifically, when the transformer winding is strained due to a fault (such as a short circuit), the corresponding position of the optical fiber to be tested is deformed, causing the frequency, phase or amplitude of the backward Rayleigh scattered light at that location to change.

[0074] Step 306: Adjust the polarization state of the reference light using a polarization controller.

[0075] Specifically, the reference light is adjusted to orthogonal “p” polarization state and “s” polarization state by a polarization controller to suppress polarization fading.

[0076] Step 308: Perform beat frequency interference on the returned back Rayleigh scattered signal and the adjusted reference light through a second coupler to obtain beat frequency interference light.

[0077] Beat frequency interferometry refers to the phenomenon in which two light waves with different but similar frequencies (such as a reference beam and a signal beam carrying strain information) are spatially superimposed, producing interference fringes with a frequency equal to the difference between the two frequencies. Beat frequency interferometry is a form of coherent detection. The coherent superposition of the reference and signal beams enhances the useful signal, while noise (such as ambient light and thermal noise) is suppressed due to its incoherent nature, significantly improving the system's signal-to-noise ratio.

[0078] Step 310: Separate the beat frequency interference light through a polarization beam splitter.

[0079] Step 312: Perform photoelectric conversion on the separated optical signal through a photodetector to obtain an electrical signal.

[0080] Specifically, the scattered signal carrying strain information interferes with the reference light on the photosensitive surface of the photodetector, generating a beat frequency interference light signal containing strain information. The frequency of the beat frequency interference light signal is The position and magnitude of the strain are related to the amplitude. The photodetector can further convert the beat frequency interference light signal into an electrical signal, which is digitized by the acquisition card and transmitted to the processing unit.

[0081] In the above-described embodiment, the high sensitivity of beat frequency interferometry can detect micron-level deformation of transformer windings caused by short-circuit electrodynamics, enabling early warning of faults. Furthermore, the beat frequency characteristics of optical signals are immune to electromagnetic interference, making them more suitable for the complex electromagnetic environment within transformers than traditional electrical sensors (such as piezoelectric sensors). Furthermore, a single optical fiber can simultaneously monitor strain at multiple locations on the winding, providing wide coverage and eliminating blind spots, thus overcoming the limitations of traditional point sensors.

[0082] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, frequency domain analysis is performed based on the electrical signal to obtain the beat frequency indicated by the strain information, including:

[0083] Step 402: Filter the DC component and the random phase component in the electrical signal to obtain the beat frequency component in the electrical signal.

[0084] Step 404: Perform Fourier transform on the beat frequency component to obtain the beat frequency indicated by the strain information.

[0085] It is understandable that if there is a reflection point at L on the optical fiber to be tested, then the time delay between the light emitted by the light source reflected from this reflection point and the other swept reference light emitted by the light source can be expressed as:

[0086]

[0087] In the formula It's the delay. Represents the effective refractive index of the optical fiber; The speed of light in a vacuum.

[0088] The expression of the light to be measured reflected back from point L is:

[0089]

[0090] In the formula is the reflection coefficient, is the light intensity amplitude of the swept-frequency light source; is the initial optical frequency of the linear swept light source; is the sweep rate of the swept light source, is the phase of the light source; the frequency difference between the test light and the reference light is the frequency of the beat signal for .

[0091] It can be seen that the electrical signal received by the computer device consists of three parts: DC component, beat frequency component, and random phase component. Among them, the DC component is , DC component , the beat frequency part is a variable that changes linearly with time, and the random phase component is the random phase, and the nonlinear variation is the phase noise.

[0092] In this embodiment, the DC component and random phase component in the electrical signal can be filtered first to obtain the beat frequency component, and then Fourier transform can be performed on it to obtain the frequency of the beat frequency signal. Since the noise is filtered out, the frequency value of the obtained beat frequency signal is more accurate.

[0093] It is understood that after obtaining the frequency value of the beat signal, the computer device can further calculate the position L of the reflection point by combining the known sweep rate of the linear swept laser light source, the refractive index of the optical fiber, and the speed of light. The signal can then be operated to obtain the strain value, thereby completing the strain demodulation of the optical fiber. The following embodiment specifically explains this process:

[0094] In an exemplary embodiment, determining a strain parameter value of a transformer winding based on a beat frequency includes:

[0095] Based on the beat frequency, the strain position of the transformer winding is determined according to the following formula:

[0096]

[0097] in, is the beat frequency, is the refractive index of the optical fiber, is the sweep rate, is the speed of light, is the strain position;

[0098] Based on the strain position, the change in the reflection coefficient amplitude is determined, and based on the change in the reflection coefficient amplitude, the strain value of the transformer winding is determined.

[0099] Specifically, when strain occurs at the optical fiber L to be tested, the optical path difference between the signal light and the reference light is (n is the refractive index of the optical fiber), corresponding to the delay .

[0100] Linear frequency variation of swept light source ( is the sweep rate) so that the two lights produce a beat frequency:

[0101]

[0102] By measuring the beat frequency , the strain position can be calculated

[0103] Furthermore, when the winding strain causes local deformation of the optical fiber, the reflection coefficient at that location The change in the amplitude of the beat frequency signal causes the change in the amplitude of the beat frequency signal. The relationship between the change in the amplitude of the reflection coefficient and the strain value can be calibrated as follows: , converted strain value.

[0104] In the above embodiment, by encoding strain information into the optical frequency difference, high-precision calculation of strain position and magnitude is achieved. At the same time, it has the advantages of anti-interference and distributed measurement, providing core technical support for real-time health monitoring of transformer windings.

[0105] It should be understood that, although the various steps in the flowcharts involved in the above embodiments are displayed in sequence according to the instructions of the arrows, these steps are not necessarily performed in sequence in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless clearly stated herein, the execution of these steps is not strictly limited in order, and these steps can be performed in other orders. Moreover, at least a portion of the steps in the flowcharts involved in the above embodiments may include multiple steps or multiple stages, and these steps or stages are not necessarily performed at the same time, but can be performed at different times, and the execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily performed in sequence, but can be performed in turn or alternately with at least a portion of the steps or stages in other steps or other steps. It is understandable that the various steps in different embodiments can be freely combined as needed, and the various non-contradictory schemes formed by the combination all fall within the scope of protection of this application.
