[0047] Embodiment 1
[0048] S1: Data collection and management
[0049] S11: Data collection implementation
[0050] Vibration sensors are installed at the fan gear box and generator bearing, and infrared temperature measurement sensors are deployed in the photovoltaic array; a meteorological station is set up at the boundary of the field station to collect wind speed, light intensity, temperature and humidity, and is synchronously connected to the SCADA system; a drone is configured to take pictures of the surface of the fan blades every week, and a robot inspects the photovoltaic panel hot spots (infrared image accuracy ±0.5℃) every day.
[0051] S12: Data management operation
[0052] Cleaning: automatically remove out-of-range data, such as photovoltaic panel temperature > 100℃, and linearly interpolate missing wind speed data (≤5 minutes) between adjacent nodes;
[0053] Standardization: aggregate second-level vibration data into 5-minute averages, and unify power units to kW and temperature units to ℃;
[0054] Association labeling: structured data (such as sensor readings) are stored in a MySQL table, which includes device ID, timestamp, and working condition label; unstructured data, such as infrared images, are stored in a MinIO object storage, and are associated with structured data through device ID.
[0055] S2: Model selection and pre-training
[0056] S21: Model selection:
[0057] Opt for Guangming Power Large Model, support time series vibration signal + infrared image multi-modal input, actual measurement inference delay 380ms.
[0058] S22: Knowledge graph construction:
[0059] Integrate fault mechanism: for example, the causal chain of "gearbox oil temperature > 80℃ will cause the probability of bearing wear to rise";
[0060] Embed industry standards: GB / T38335 "Operation Regulations for Photovoltaic Power Stations", NB / T11346 "Maintenance Regulations for Photovoltaic Power Stations", NB / T11570 "Technical Guidelines for Intelligent Operation of Wind Farms", form a structured knowledge graph.
[0061] S23: Two-stage training:
[0062] Pre-training: pre-train with general power dataset such as public IEEE power equipment fault library, so that the model masters basic power knowledge;
[0063] Fine-tuning: inject historical data of the site (including 200 cases of wind turbine yawing failure and 150 cases of photovoltaic hot spot), and fine-tune the feature weights using LoRA technology.
[0064] S3: Feature extraction and health index construction
[0065] S31: Multi-modal feature extraction:
[0066] For example, the operating characteristics of a wind turbine include vibration (amplitude, frequency), bearing temperature, power, speed, oil pressure, etc., environmental characteristics include wind speed, wind direction, air density, ambient temperature, turbulence intensity, etc., and inspection image characteristics include blade cracks / corrosion, bolt loosening, oil leakage, electrical overheating, etc.
[0067] The operating characteristics of a photovoltaic panel include DC current / voltage, AC power, conversion efficiency, insulation resistance, etc., environmental characteristics include light intensity (irradiance), ambient temperature, wind speed, humidity, snow cover, etc., and inspection image characteristics include cell cracks, hot spots, broken cells, junction box cover damage, support corrosion, deformation, dust, bird droppings, snow coverage area and thickness estimation, and vegetation shading area, etc.
[0068] The operating characteristic score is a comprehensive score value of 0-100 calculated by a sub-model or rule set (for example, comparing the current characteristic value with the threshold range of the health state) after preprocessing and extraction of the operating characteristics.
[0069] The higher the environmental adaptation score, the better the device performs in the current environment; the lower the score, the lower the device's ability to adapt to environmental changes or potential problems.
[0070] The inspection image score is obtained by quantifying the severity and area size of the above-mentioned image features. For example, no cracks and hot spots are 100 points, small cracks deduct 10 points, large area hot spots deduct 30 points, etc.
[0071] S32: Unified health index (HI) calculation:
[0072] Select the values of A, B and C in the HI formula according to different device types, for example, fan HI formula: 0.6 x operating feature score + 0.3 x environmental adaptation score + 0.1 x inspection image score;
[0073] Photovoltaic panel HI formula: 0.5 x operating feature score + 0.4 x environmental adaptation score + 0.1 x inspection image score;
[0074] Cross-device calibration: all HI values are normalized by Z-score to generate a site health ranking list, for example, fan HI = 42, then the fan is in a risk state.
[0075] S4: Early warning model and dynamic strategy
[0076] S41: Time series prediction model:
[0077] LSTM input past 72 hours HI sequence, superimposed with environmental features output by S2 large model, such as future wind speed prediction, output 24 hours HI prediction value; When the predicted value drops below the threshold, for example, fan HI < 50; photovoltaic panel HI < 45, trigger early warning.
[0078] S41: Multi-level early warning execution:
[0079] Level 1 early warning: trigger sound and light alarm and send short message to responsible person; For example, fan HI < 50, and the decline rate is greater than or equal to 50%.
[0080] Level 2 early warning: automatically generate maintenance work order; For example, fan HI < 50, and the decline rate is greater than or equal to 25% and less than 50%.
[0081] Three-level early warning: included in the next week's UAV special inspection plan; for example, the fan HI <50, the decline rate is greater than or equal to 10%, and less than 20%; the decline rate here is the decline rate in a warning period, for example, the fan HI at the end of the last period is 80, and the HI at the end of this period is 40, the decline rate is greater than or equal to 50%, which triggers an audible and light alarm and sends a short message to the person in charge; for example, the fan HI at the end of the last period is 80, and the HI at the end of this period is 70, the decline rate is 12.5%, which is included in the next week's UAV special inspection plan.
[0082] S5: model verification and iterative optimization
[0083] S51: model verification method
[0084] Historical data backtracking: select 500+ fault cases in the past year, test the model early warning lead time (target ≥24 hours), calculate the accuracy (TP / (TP+FP) ≥90%) and recall rate (TP / (TP+FN) ≥95%).
[0085] On-site empirical test: deploy the model in 3 pilot stations, compare the early warning results with the actual faults, and collect operation and maintenance feedback.
[0086] S52: continuous iteration measures
[0087] According to the feedback of S51, supplement the missing data, such as adding the SOC data of the energy storage battery, optimize the cleaning rules of S1, such as correcting the compensation algorithm of sensor drift. Re-train the S2 model every quarter with new data, adjust the feature weights of S3, such as increasing the weight of "humidity on the life of photovoltaic panels". Based on the reasons for false alarms, update the working condition association rules of S4, such as refining the threshold adjustment scheme in different seasons.
[0088] S53: closed-loop optimization effect
[0089] Through 3 rounds of iteration, the false alarm rate is reduced by 50%, the fault detection lead time is extended to 48 hours, and the annual non-scheduled downtime of the station is reduced by ≥100 hours.
[0090] The embodiments of the specific implementation are the preferred embodiments of the present application, not limited to the protection scope of the present application, so: any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
