Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of transformer winding condition monitoring technology, specifically to an edge intelligent data acquisition method, device, and medium for transformer windings. Background Technology
[0002] As a key piece of equipment in the power system, the safe and stable operation of transformers is crucial to the reliability of the power grid. In recent years, with the advancement of smart grid construction, higher requirements have been placed on the real-time performance, accuracy, and intelligence level of transformer winding condition monitoring. Currently, transformer winding condition monitoring technology has made some progress. Existing technologies disclose a big data-based intelligent operation and maintenance method and system for transformers, realizing the collection and analysis of data throughout the transformer's entire life cycle. Existing technologies also propose an online monitoring system for transformer windings, which uses a multi-channel synchronous sampling unit to collect winding voltage and current data in real time and calculates short-circuit reactance to monitor deformation.
[0003] However, existing technologies still have some limitations. First, traditional centralized data processing architectures result in high data transmission latency and insufficient real-time performance, making it difficult to meet the millisecond-level response requirements of smart grids. Second, existing monitoring systems lack the ability to dynamically model the multi-physics coupling characteristics of transformer windings, leading to a high error rate in state assessment and affecting the accuracy of fault early warning. Furthermore, the design pattern of separating data acquisition and analysis modules results in overall system inefficiency, insufficient resource utilization, and difficulty in adapting to the resource constraints of edge computing environments.
[0004] While some recent technologies and existing methods and systems for assessing the condition of rural power grid transformers have begun to utilize multi-source data, they have not yet fully leveraged the advantages of edge computing and artificial intelligence. Currently, there is no transformer winding condition monitoring system that can integrate data acquisition and intelligent analysis on edge devices, accurately model the multi-physics coupling characteristics of windings, and possess adaptive optimization capabilities. Therefore, developing an edge intelligent data acquisition module and system for transformer windings to improve the real-time performance, accuracy, and resource utilization efficiency of condition monitoring has significant theoretical and practical value.
[0005] Current transformer winding condition monitoring technology in power systems faces three main problems. First, traditional data acquisition systems employ a centralized processing architecture, resulting in high data transmission latency and insufficient real-time performance, making it difficult to meet the millisecond-level response requirements of smart grids. Second, existing monitoring systems lack the ability to dynamically model the multi-physics coupling characteristics of transformer windings, leading to a condition assessment error rate as high as 15%-20%, affecting the accuracy of fault early warning. Third, the separation of data acquisition and analysis modules results in low overall system efficiency, with resource utilization below 60%, making it difficult to adapt to the resource constraints of edge computing environments.
[0006] These issues severely restrict the performance improvement of transformer winding condition monitoring systems. Insufficient real-time performance prevents the system from timely detecting and handling potential faults, increasing the risk of unplanned equipment outages. Inadequate dynamic modeling capabilities make it difficult for the system to accurately capture minute changes in winding conditions, reducing the effectiveness of predictive maintenance. Furthermore, the separation of acquisition and analysis modules leads to a waste of computing resources and limits the system's deployment capabilities on edge devices. Summary of the Invention
