[0032] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0034] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in various places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments.
[0035] Example 1, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a substation intelligent monitoring system based on digital twin technology, including:
[0036] The information collection module is used to collect and preprocess operating data, build a digital twin model, simulate and generate twin data, calculate the probability density of operating data and twin data, calculate information entropy using the information entropy formula, and calculate mutual information using the mutual information formula;
[0037] Specifically, collect and pre-process operational data, including:
[0038] Use smart sensors to collect and pre-process substation operation data;
[0039] The intelligent sensors include current, voltage, temperature, humidity and wind speed sensors
[0040] The operating data includes current, voltage, temperature, humidity and wind speed data;
[0041] The preprocessing includes realigning the running data according to timestamps using a linear interpolation method, performing denoising using a low-pass filter, identifying and deleting outliers using an interquartile range method, filling missing data using the median, and normalizing the filled running data.
[0042] The integrated collection of electrical parameters and environmental parameters ensures that the mutual information of subsequent calculations is not limited to the analysis between similar variables. The integration of high sampling frequency and multi-dimensional information helps to carry out refined modeling of key operating nodes and improve the credibility of model simulation. Low-pass filtering suppresses high-frequency interference and prevents false trends from being misidentified as anomalies. IQR is based on a non-parametric method and is not affected by extreme values. Outlier identification is more robust. The median is not affected by local fluctuations and maintains the overall trend of the data set stable. Normalization processing provides a basis for comparison on the same scale for subsequent modeling, effectively preventing a certain variable from dominating the information entropy value.
[0043] Next, we build a digital twin model and calculate information entropy and mutual information, including:
[0044] Use ANSYS to build a digital twin model, use the Monte Carlo method to calibrate the digital twin model parameters based on the operating data, simulate and generate twin data, and perform preprocessing. The twin data corresponds to the operating data.
[0045] Use the PTP protocol to synchronize the time between running data and twin data;
[0046] Use a sliding window to set the time window, use the histogram method to divide the running data and twin data into K discrete intervals, count the probability density of the running data and twin data, and use the information entropy formula to calculate the information entropy. The formula is:
[0047]
[0048] Where H(X i ) is the information entropy of the i-th data, X i is the i-th running data and twin data, K is the number of discrete intervals, p(x ik ) is the value x of the i-th data in window T ik The probability that p(x ik )=0, then it is defined as p(x ik )logp(x ik )=0,x ik is the discretized value of the i-th data in the k-th interval, where k is the index of the histogram interval;
[0049] Mutual information is calculated using the mutual information formula, which is:
[0050]
[0051] Where I(X i ;X j ) is the mutual information between the i-th and j-th data, p(x i ,x j ) is the value of the i-th and j-th data in the window T at the same time (x i ,x j ), p(x i ) and p(x j ) are the marginal probabilities of the i-th and j-th data, respectively, x i and x j are the discretized values of the i-th and j-th data respectively.
[0052] ANSYS supports electric-thermal-fluid three-field coupled modeling, which is suitable for restoring the physical mechanism level of the operating status of equipment in substations. Through the Monte Carlo method, random sampling is performed in the parameter space, giving the model probabilistic response capabilities. It can effectively model input disturbances, measurement errors, etc., and the simulation data is matched one-to-one with the actual operation data to form twin data pairs, enhancing the monitoring model's ability to respond to the dynamic behavior of the system. The introduction of information entropy and mutual information as monitoring indicators enables the system to evolve from static threshold judgment to dynamic multi-dimensional trend perception.
[0053] The monitoring level module is used to calculate the entropy change of information entropy, use the Sigmoid function to calculate the dynamic entropy adjustment coefficient, use the weighted fusion method and the dynamic entropy adjustment coefficient to calculate the abnormality index, perform status monitoring on the substation, and divide the warning level based on the monitoring results;
[0054] Specifically, the Sigmoid function is used to calculate the dynamic entropy adjustment coefficient, including:
[0055] The entropy change of information entropy is calculated using the difference method. The formula is:
[0056] ΔH(X i )=H(X i (t))-H(X i (tT)),
[0057] Where ΔH(X i ) is the entropy change of the i-th data, information entropy, H(X i (t)) is the information entropy of the i-th data at time t, and T is the time window;
[0058] Collect historical entropy change data and calculate the standard deviation of entropy change. The formula is:
[0059]
[0060] where σ H is the standard deviation of entropy change, M is the number of historical windows, μ ΔH is the mean value of historical entropy change, mT is the relative time offset of the historical time window, which is expressed as the start time of the mth historical time window relative to the current time t, m is the index of the historical time window, and (t-mT) is the start time of m historical time windows;
[0061] The dynamic entropy adjustment coefficient is calculated using the Sigmoid function. The formula is:
[0062]
[0063] where λ T (t) is the dynamic entropy adjustment coefficient at time t.
[0064] The difference method highlights the rate of change of data uncertainty and is suitable for judging the speed of device status change. Many device operating parameters show periodic or slight changes under continuous conditions. The introduction of entropy difference helps to filter background noise, respond only to significant fluctuations, and effectively suppress the interference of normal fluctuations. The change in information entropy as a state indicator can reflect the abnormal trend of the system in advance. The standard deviation represents the common fluctuations under the influence of the system's own noise and the environment. Sigmoid can map the entropy change to (0,1) to avoid jumps.
[0065] Furthermore, a weighted fusion method is used to calculate the anomaly index and perform condition monitoring on the substation, including:
[0066] The weighted fusion method is used to calculate the anomaly index in combination with the dynamic entropy adjustment coefficient. The formula is:
[0067]
[0068] Where S(t) is the abnormal index at time t, Q is the number of collected data, α i is the importance weight of the i-th data, set using the empirical rule, β ij is the coupling weight between the i-th and j-th data, set using the empirical rule;
[0069] Use statistical analysis to set the monitoring threshold, and compare the abnormal index with the monitoring threshold. If the abnormal index is greater than the monitoring threshold, it is judged as an abnormal state, otherwise it is judged as a normal state.
[0070] The importance weights and coupling weights of the variables ensure that the system warning focuses on electrical and environmental coupling anomalies. Combined with actual system operation statistics, the threshold can be automatically adjusted as the equipment life cycle progresses, improving the efficiency of alarm warnings. The dynamic threshold is adaptable to production environment drift, thereby keeping the false alarm rate within a controllable range and improving the reliability of the monitoring system.
[0071] Furthermore, the warning levels are divided based on the monitoring results, including:
[0072] Based on the monitoring results, the abnormal state is classified into different levels using the classification rules. The mean of the abnormal index is defined as a scalar, and the abnormal deviation of the abnormal index is calculated using the formula:
[0073] D(t)=S(t)-S th (t),
[0074] Where D(t) is the abnormal deviation at time t, S th (t) is the scalar of time t;
[0075] Use the percentile method to set the classification threshold and compare the abnormal deviation with the classification threshold. If the abnormal deviation is greater than the classification threshold, it is judged as a serious abnormality and the maintenance personnel are notified to perform repairs. Otherwise, it is judged as a minor abnormality and an early warning is issued and recorded.
[0076] Differentiate operation and maintenance response measures and priorities based on the severity of the anomaly to achieve rational allocation of resources. Minor alarms will not disrupt normal operation and maintenance, while severe alarms provide strong response signals to reduce operating cost waste. Information such as alarm level, time point, deviation amplitude, etc. forms a historical record to provide a basis for analyzing equipment status changes.
[0077] This embodiment also provides a computer device, which is suitable for the case of a substation intelligent monitoring system based on digital twin technology, including: a memory and a processor; the memory is used to store computer-executable instructions, and the processor is used to execute computer-executable instructions to implement the substation intelligent monitoring system based on digital twin technology proposed in the above embodiment.

The processor of the computer device is used to provide computing and control capabilities. The memory of the computer device comprises a non-volatile storage medium and an internal memory. The non-volatile storage medium stores an operating system and a computer program. The internal memory provides an environment for the operation of the operating system and the computer program in the non-volatile storage medium. The communication interface of the computer device is used to communicate with an external terminal in a wired or wireless manner, and the wireless manner may be achieved through WIFI, an operator network, NFC (near field communication) or other technologies.
