Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent operation and maintenance of power systems and condition monitoring of rail transit equipment, and particularly to an adaptive spectrum monitoring and interference suppression method for railway power transformers. Background Technology

[0002] In the current railway power system, power transformers, as core power transmission and distribution equipment, are crucial for ensuring the safety of train traction power supply through real-time monitoring and fault early warning. Traditional transformer condition monitoring relies heavily on offline detection, single-point sensing, and experience-based judgment, which is ill-suited to the complex characteristics of the railway operating environment, including high-intensity interference, mixed multi-source signals, and rapid fault evolution. Especially in high-speed railways, heavy-haul railways, and urban rail transit, electrical equipment is subjected to the combined effects of frequent start-stop cycles, high-frequency impacts, electromagnetic disturbances, and structural vibrations. This makes the early characteristics of typical faults such as partial discharge, insulation degradation, and winding loosening extremely weak and easily masked by background noise, severely affecting the sensitivity and accuracy of existing condition monitoring systems.

[0003] In existing technologies, spectrum analysis is often used as a key diagnostic tool for fault identification in electrical signals. However, it typically employs fixed-window-length Fourier transform, short-time analysis, or static wavelet transform methods, lacking adaptability to dynamic signal changes. These techniques exhibit insufficient resolution and weak identification of abrupt feature changes when facing non-stationary, multi-frequency interference signals in railway environments, failing to effectively extract crucial diagnostic information. Furthermore, in terms of interference suppression, traditional methods usually employ simple filters or set threshold rules to remove interference signals, but their ability to handle multiple types of superimposed interference, spectral overlap, or non-Gaussian backgrounds is limited, easily leading to loss of useful signals or misidentification.

[0004] To address the need for multi-source signal feature extraction in typical transformer faults such as partial discharge, harmonic anomalies, and mechanical faults, existing methods suffer from insufficient modeling of the coordinated changes among different physical quantities. Most methods lack cross-domain feature fusion and time-series graph modeling capabilities, making it difficult to accurately track fault trends, state evolution, and potential anomalies. Especially in large-scale, multi-transformer scenarios, current methods often lack a unified data structure, intelligent analysis, and remote collaborative scheduling mechanisms, failing to form an integrated system with closed-loop control and early warning response capabilities.

[0005] The adaptive spectrum monitoring and interference suppression method for railway power transformers proposed in this invention aims to address the problems of poor spectrum sensing capability, weak interference adaptability, low feature modeling capability, and lack of remote linkage mechanism in the existing technologies. By constructing a multi-channel high-precision acquisition mechanism and integrating a multi-scale residual network and an attention-enhanced recognition module, deep signal deconstruction and interference identification are achieved. Furthermore, an adaptive filtering mechanism is constructed by combining variational mode decomposition and gated cyclic unit networks, effectively improving the target signal extraction capability. Finally, fault trend modeling is achieved through graph neural networks, ultimately forming a closed-loop intelligent monitoring system capable of remote uploading and multi-station collaboration, significantly improving the state perception and anomaly response capabilities of railway power transformers in complex operating scenarios.

[0006] Therefore, how to provide adaptive spectrum monitoring and interference suppression methods for railway power transformers is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0081] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0082] This invention achieves several technological breakthroughs based on existing technologies by constructing an adaptive spectrum monitoring and interference suppression method for railway power transformers, significantly improving the adaptability, accuracy, and intelligence of transformer condition monitoring systems in complex electromagnetic interference environments.

[0083] First, this invention achieves simultaneous acquisition of multiple physical quantities and multiple channels in the signal acquisition stage, covering five typical parameters: voltage, current, partial discharge, vibration, and electromagnetic radiation. Through high-frequency, high-precision acquisition and a unified clock control mechanism, it effectively improves the timeliness and completeness of the original signal acquisition, providing a high-quality data foundation for subsequent spectrum modeling. Compared with traditional single-electrical-quantity monitoring methods, this method constructs rich information dimensions, ensuring that weak anomalies are no longer masked by background interference.

[0084] Secondly, in terms of spectral feature extraction, a multi-scale residual fusion time-frequency transform network was adopted. Through the synergistic effect of multi-scale convolution, residual connections, and adaptive window-length short-time Fourier decomposition, a fine characterization of the signal at different frequencies and time scales was achieved. This structure effectively compensates for the sluggish response of traditional fixed-window analysis to non-stationary signals and significantly improves the ability to identify fine-grained features such as partial discharge and harmonic disturbances. The interference recognition network combined with an attention mechanism further enhances the system's intelligent discrimination capability against interference such as power frequency harmonics, transient pulses, and broadband non-Gaussian noise, achieving automatic signal classification.

[0085] Furthermore, in terms of interference suppression, this invention introduces a two-stage processing strategy combining variational mode decomposition and gated recurrent neural networks, effectively completing the decomposition, identification, and predictive removal of interference components, ensuring that the target signal retains its integrity while removing invalid information to the maximum extent. Through amplitude-frequency response modeling and dynamic reconstruction, this method balances suppression effectiveness and signal fidelity, overcoming the problem of erroneous deletion of feature signals by traditional filtering methods. In the feature modeling and state assessment stages, this invention extracts pulse morphology features based on sparse dictionary learning, constructs composite feature vectors by combining various statistical and spectral parameters, and achieves dynamic identification and trend prediction of transformer operating states through a joint modeling approach using graph attention networks and graph convolutional neural networks. This modeling method possesses state representation capabilities across time scales, enhancing the system's early perception capability of abnormal evolution.

[0086] Finally, this invention also establishes a data upload mechanism that interfaces with a remote monitoring platform, supporting data transmission based on the MQTT protocol and the IEC 61850 standard. This enables real-time uploading of diagnostic results, alarm push notifications, and intelligent linkage control of multiple substations, comprehensively constructing a closed-loop intelligent operation and maintenance system from front-end perception to cloud-based control. In summary, this method possesses significant practicality, engineering promotion value, and application prospects in intelligent railway power supply systems. Attached Figure Description

The multi-channel temporal convolution module consists of multiple independent temporal convolution units. Each temporal convolution unit performs one-dimensional or two-dimensional convolution operations on different frequency bands to capture the short-term dependence features of power frequency disturbances, harmonic interference, shock wave bands and broadband noise.

[0130] S43. The feature maps after convolution of each frequency band are concatenated in the channel dimension to construct an intermediate fusion tensor, which is then fed into the multi-head attention encoding module. The multi-head attention encoding module contains multiple parallel attention heads, and each attention head performs weighted modeling of feature correlations in different scales and different frequency bands.

[0131] S44. Calculate the degree of information interdependence between frequency bands using the attention distribution matrix, and then dynamically adjust the channel weight coefficients to achieve enhancement processing of spectral bands with significant perturbations, while suppressing the response values ​​of irrelevant frequency domain regions.

[0132] S45. Input the enhanced feature tensor into the category correlation analyzer module. The category correlation analyzer module includes a perturbation type discrimination unit, a channel feature fusion layer and a class-specific scorer, which are respectively used to extract category-level prior features, perform cross-channel aggregation of frequency band dimensions and output activation score vectors for specific interference types.

[0134] S47. Output the finally identified interference tags and frequency domain location index together as the basis for dynamic scheduling of subsequent interference suppression modules, and for use by the abnormal event tracking mechanism.

[0135] By constructing the A-DINet interference identification network, which integrates multi-channel convolution, multi-head attention mechanism and category correlation modeling, automatic classification and spectral domain localization of typical disturbance types in railway transformer environment are realized. It can quickly separate and label power frequency harmonics, transient pulses, low frequency disturbances and broadband non-Gaussian interference under strong background noise conditions, significantly improving the automation level and spectral domain matching accuracy of interference identification, and optimizing the adaptation performance and resource allocation efficiency of subsequent interference suppression links.

Each intrinsic mode function component represents the signal composition at different frequency scales.

[0139] S53. Calculate the energy shift index, spectral density distribution characteristics, and similarity score with the target feature template for all intrinsic mode function components in sequence, and select several mode components to form a target mode set according to the preset correlation criterion.

[0140] S54. The target mode set is constructed as a time series input and fed into a sequence modeling network composed of a gate control recurrent unit. The sequence modeling network learns the amplitude variation law and frequency domain transfer path between modes through a recursive structure and outputs the predicted frequency response sequence.

[0141] S55.

[0142] S56. Perform residual evaluation and dynamic update operations on the enhanced signal. If the difference between the current result and the disturbance template is still greater than the threshold, the decomposition path fine-tuning process is re-triggered until the interference suppression result is stable.

[0143] S57. Output the signal sequence after interference suppression processing, retain the physically meaningful anomalous features within the target frequency band, and significantly reduce the impact of multi-source interference components on the subsequent analysis model.

[0144] By constructing a two-stage interference suppression module combining variational mode decomposition and gated recurrent unit (GRU) networks, this approach utilizes VMD to perform frequency domain decomposition of signal modes, accurately selecting highly correlated modes to form a target subset. Then, a GRU is used to model and predict the frequency domain evolution trend, achieving the preservation of key features and the filtering of invalid disturbances under complex interference environments. Compared to traditional filters, this scheme possesses adaptive, learnable, and adjustable characteristics, improving the system's robustness and signal fidelity in dynamic interference scenarios.

[0145] In this embodiment, S6 specifically includes:

[0146] S61. The signal after interference suppression processing in step S5 is organized according to channel type and sampling time window, and a standardized multidimensional tensor data structure is constructed based on the time axis, frequency axis and channel axis to ensure that its structure can be directly parsed by the subsequent feature extraction model.

[0147] S62. Perform morphological feature extraction operation based on sparse dictionary learning on multidimensional tensor data. The sparse dictionary is pre-learned from the training sample library and can express typical waveform patterns of pulse-like signals such as partial discharge in a finite set of atoms.

[0148] S63. The input signal is decomposed into a sparse coefficient matrix and an atomic dictionary using a sparse coding algorithm, and the starting point, duration, waveform symmetry and consistency characteristics of the pulse pattern in the encoding process are identified.

[0149] S64. Based on the sparse decomposition results, further extract frequency domain and statistical feature indicators from the signal. The feature indicators include spectral entropy, which describes the complexity of the frequency component distribution; kurtosis factor, which measures the degree of signal spikes; instantaneous energy fluctuation rate, which reflects the range of short-term energy changes; frequency drift amplitude, which characterizes the dynamic shift of the main frequency position; and spectral distribution skewness, which determines the skew direction and amplitude of frequency energy component deviation.

[0150] S65. All extracted morphological features, frequency domain indices and statistics are concatenated along the feature dimension to form a composite feature vector in a unified format, and a set of corresponding feature expressions is generated for each time window.

[0151] S66. Perform dimensionality standardization, outlier removal, and integrity checks on the composite feature vector to ensure that it meets the input requirements and accuracy requirements of the subsequent state evaluation module.

[0152] S67. Output the processed composite feature vector set, and retain its corresponding timestamp, channel label and source information, as the input data basis for railway power transformer state modeling and anomaly identification.

[0153] A tensor-level feature extraction model is constructed using a sparse dictionary learning method, which enables high-dimensional modeling of pulse morphology, spectral shape, and statistical changes in signals, demonstrating significant advantages, especially in the detection of transient signals such as partial discharge. By combining parameters such as spectral entropy, kurtosis, and frequency drift to construct a composite feature vector, the model effectively enhances the discriminative power and expressive ability of abnormal features, providing key input features with structural, time-varying, and engineering interpretability for health status assessment.

[0154] In this embodiment, S7 specifically includes:

[0155] S71. Arrange the composite feature vector set in chronological order and construct a discretized state monitoring sequence according to a fixed time granularity, using the feature vector of each time period as a single node input unit.

[0158] S74. In graph attention networks, a multi-head graph attention mechanism is introduced to differentiate the correlation between different time points, and the node representation is updated through a weighted adjacency matrix.

[0159] S75. The dynamic evolution graph structure updated by graph attention is input into a multi-channel graph convolutional neural network. The multi-channel graph convolutional neural network uses a multi-dimensional channel grouping strategy to perform deep convolution operations on node features and extracts the state change trend and feature evolution pattern across time periods.

[0160] S76. Input the global graph embedding vector output by graph convolution into the fully connected classification layer to perform health level classification and abnormal state identification of the current state of the transformer. The identified state labels include normal, mild abnormality, moderate abnormality and severe fault.

[0163] By constructing composite feature vectors into a time-series graph structure and employing graph attention networks and multi-channel graph convolutional neural networks for modeling, the evolution trend of transformer operating status across time periods was modeled, classified, and predicted. This structure possesses the ability to efficiently capture the spatiotemporal correlation between features and automatically identify potential fault nodes and their propagation paths. It significantly improves the system's early perception level of trend abrupt changes, degradation evolution, and abnormal clustering behavior, thereby enhancing prediction accuracy and interpretability.

[0164] In this embodiment, S8 specifically includes:

[0165] S81. Integrate the health status classification label, running trend scoring index and time series node graph embedding vector output in step S7, and construct a structured diagnostic result data package together with the spectrum, interference identification label and interference suppression residual value obtained in steps S3 to S6.

[0170] S86. Set alarm policies in the remote monitoring platform and automatically trigger multi-level early warning mechanisms based on the severity of status labels, trend score slope and disturbance level, including in-station audible and visual alarms, SMS push, control center pop-up windows and cloud platform alarm aggregation and distribution.

Synchronously push the diagnostic results to the power dispatching system or equipment operation and maintenance management system, support the linkage execution of status refresh, task scheduling, maintenance work order issuance and inter-substation collaborative strategy switching, and build an intelligent operation and maintenance control network that supports closed-loop response at multiple sites.

[0172] S88. All uploaded records are cached locally and periodically backed up to the historical data management module for fault reproduction, model training optimization, and long-term performance evaluation.

[0173] A remote upload mechanism is constructed, encompassing standardized data formats, compatible communication protocols, and cloud-based linkage. Combining MQTT and IEC 61850 protocols, it enables efficient interaction of diagnostic results between edge devices and the cloud platform. The system supports spectrum visualization, status scoring display, and early warning control linkage, effectively establishing a data loop between on-site detection, intelligent diagnosis, and dispatch execution. This enhances the intelligent joint control capabilities and dispatch coordination response efficiency among multiple substations, meeting the high reliability and real-time intelligent operation and maintenance requirements of railway scenarios.

[0174] Example 1:

[0175] To verify the feasibility of this invention in practice, it was applied to a traction substation on a main railway line. The substation was equipped with an intelligent monitoring system for the operation status of power transformers. As a typical high-load, frequently starting and stopping traction power supply node, the substation operates in an environment with complex background noise such as strong power frequency disturbances, high-frequency pulse interference, and electromagnetic coupling interference. Traditional condition monitoring equipment is difficult to effectively identify early abnormal discharge signals, impulsive instability signals, and multiple superimposed interference characteristics. In addition, it suffers from data upload delays, low remote response efficiency, high equipment misjudgment rate, delayed maintenance, and unclear safety boundaries.

[0176] In this embodiment of the invention, the monitoring system deploys five signal acquisition channels—voltage, current, partial discharge, vibration, and electromagnetic radiation—on the primary side, secondary side, and key parts of the target transformer's casing. A multi-channel synchronous sampling mechanism is employed, with a sampling frequency reaching 10 MHz. Data from each channel is spliced ​​and buffered in real-time using a sliding window. Through unified clock synchronization control and anti-aliasing sampling strategies, the system can achieve high-precision time alignment of multi-source signals without relying on a third-party synchronization module, establishing a unified input foundation for subsequent analysis.

[0177] The acquired signal is first processed by a high-order statistical filter for offset and detrending removal, and then normalized by Z-score normalization. It is then input into the multi-scale residual fusion time-frequency transform network constructed in this invention. The network employs three sets of convolutional paths with different receptive fields to extract the signal's micro-perturbations, periodic fluctuations, and trend evolution. Combined with residual connections and channel attention mechanisms, it effectively prevents feature degradation. Furthermore, it dynamically adjusts the short-time Fourier window length based on frame energy and entropy functions, ultimately generating a three-dimensional time-frequency feature tensor.

[0178] The interference identification component uses a recognition network constructed with multi-channel temporal convolution and multi-head attention mechanisms to distinguish interference types. The training set contains samples of multiple interference categories, including power frequency harmonics, impulsive disturbances, low-frequency background interference, and non-Gaussian broadband interference. Test results show that the interference classification accuracy is consistently above 96%, the average interference identification delay is less than 1 second, and it exhibits strong adaptability and stability under different equipment loads and weather conditions.

[0179] The system then automatically invokes an interference suppression module based on variational mode decomposition and gated cyclic units to perform two-stage processing on the identified interference segments. The VMD part decomposes the signal into several modal components and filters highly correlated components according to the energy shift criterion, while the GRU model models and predicts the frequency domain evolution trend for reconstruction. After interference suppression, the average signal-to-noise ratio of the signal is improved from the original 8.7 dB to 16.4 dB, effectively enhancing the identifiability of low-amplitude weak pulses in the original signal.

[0180] The system further employs a sparse dictionary learning method to extract structural features from the interference-suppressed signal. It constructs a composite feature vector by combining multiple spectral domains and statistical features such as spectral entropy, kurtosis factor, and energy fluctuation rate. Furthermore, it classifies and predicts the operating status of equipment using a graph attention network and a graph convolution model. In on-site evaluation, the model can stably classify four states: "normal," "mildly abnormal," "moderately abnormal," and "severely abnormal," with an average classification accuracy of 94.2%. The trend prediction early warning rate exceeds 85% within three periods.

[0181] All diagnostic results are finally encapsulated by the edge computing terminal and uploaded to the remote monitoring platform, supporting the linkage of the dispatching system based on the MQTT protocol and IEC 61850 standard. The platform can automatically generate alarms, trend graphs and recommended maintenance work orders, and implement the collaborative strategy switching with adjacent sites. The operation data shows that after the system is deployed, the average fault identification delay is reduced by about 72%, and the false alarm rate is reduced by more than 60%, providing strong support for the continuous visual management of the operation and maintenance efficiency and the health status of the transformer.

[0182] This embodiment verifies that the present invention has the fault perception ability of full-link, high-precision and intelligent in the strong interference railway operation environment, which can significantly improve the practicability, precision and automation level of the transformer monitoring system, and has good engineering adaptability and popularization prospect.

[0183] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, makes equivalent replacement or change, and should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
