[0069] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0070] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used 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 different places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments.
[0071] Example 1:
[0072] Reference Figures 1-3 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a power equipment fault diagnosis method based on artificial intelligence, including the following steps:
[0073] S1. Power equipment operation data acquisition, to obtain operation data.
[0074] In this embodiment, the data acquisition process includes:
[0075] By installing sensors, including temperature sensors, current sensors, voltage sensors, vibration sensors, and pressure sensors, in different parts of key equipment, real-time operating data of the power equipment is collected, including various data such as temperature, current, voltage, vibration, and pressure, providing a data foundation for subsequent diagnostic analysis.
[0076] S2. Extract features from the running data to obtain feature data.
[0077] In this embodiment, feature extraction includes:
[0078] The obtained operational data is standardized, and a feature extraction model is used to extract features from the processed data, revealing the changing characteristics during equipment operation. The data after feature extraction reflects different operating states of the equipment, providing crucial information for subsequent classification and diagnosis.
[0079] Furthermore, the feature analysis and extraction model includes:
[0080] ;
[0081] in:
[0082] : The time-frequency energy distribution at frequency f and time t;
[0083] Adaptive weighting coefficients adjust the role of each wavelet basis function in the time-frequency space, and optimize the adjustment based on the historical operating status and fault modes of the equipment;
[0084] : The k-th wavelet basis function;
[0085] Sensor data; * indicates a convolution operation.
[0086] The number of wavelet basis functions.
[0087] This model extracts features through wavelet transform and time-frequency analysis.
[0088] Compared with traditional wavelet transform or time-frequency analysis methods, this model combines wavelet transform and time-frequency analysis, and adopts a weighting mechanism and adaptive adjustment, so that information from different frequency bands can be extracted preferentially according to the characteristics of the fault, thereby enhancing the diagnostic accuracy.
[0089] The use of the above model includes:
[0090] Data preparation: Data from multiple sensors is acquired in step S1. This includes various data such as temperature, current, voltage, vibration, and pressure.
[0091] Time-frequency analysis: Adaptive weighting coefficients are set based on the equipment's historical operating status and known fault modes. Through convolution operations * The signal response is calculated at each frequency band and time point to obtain the energy distribution at each time frequency point. This transforms the time-domain signal into time-frequency domain features;
[0092] Feature extraction: in time-frequency energy distribution In this process, key frequency bands and time windows are selected to extract features that describe the health status of the equipment. For example, when the equipment is overloaded or short-circuited, energy fluctuations in certain frequency bands become obvious, and these changes are extracted as key diagnostic criteria.
[0093] S3. Classify the fault types based on the feature data to obtain the fault classification results.
[0094] In this embodiment, the fault type classification includes:
[0095] Based on feature data, Support Vector Machine (SVM) (existing technology) is used to distinguish different categories of data, classify fault types, and determine whether the equipment has failed and the type of fault. SVM can effectively handle high-dimensional data and has good generalization ability in feature space.

[0097] In this embodiment, fault location includes:

[0099] Furthermore, the fault location model includes:
[0100] ;
[0101] in:
[0102] : The probability of node i failing; each node represents a device or component.
[0103] : Propagation intensity coefficient, representing the fault propagation intensity from node j to node i;
[0104] The classification confidence of the fault type is obtained through step S4;
[0105] The electrical distance between node j and node i; the closer the electrical distance, the greater the impact of fault propagation.
[0106] Total number of nodes.
[0107] Furthermore, the propagation intensity coefficient includes:
[0108] ;
[0109] in:
[0110] The electrical impedance between node i and node j; the smaller the impedance, the easier it is for current to propagate, and the stronger the fault propagation intensity.
[0111] The maximum electrical impedance is used as a standardization factor to make a uniform comparison of the propagation intensity between devices with different electrical characteristics.
[0112] The electrical inductance between point i and node j; the larger the inductance, the slower the response to a fault and the weaker the propagation strength.
[0113] The maximum value of electrical inductance is used as a standardization factor to adjust for the influence of inductance.
[0114] This model combines fault tree analysis and fault propagation networks to deduce fault sources and their propagation paths based on classification results in the context of complex power equipment topologies.
[0115] Unlike traditional fault location methods, this method not only infers fault location based on fault tree analysis, but also considers the fault propagation path and the interrelationship of power equipment. It identifies multiple fault modes in complex power systems, accurately locates the source of different types of faults, and can be adjusted according to the actual topology of the power network, thus improving the accuracy and adaptability of fault location.
[0116] The steps for using this model include:
[0117] Data input: Obtain the confidence level for each fault type in step S4. This reflects the possible types of equipment failures and their accuracy, providing an important basis for fault location;
[0118] Fault propagation path analysis: by calculating the propagation strength coefficient Electrical distance between and equipment Analyze the fault propagation path and identify how the fault spreads to other devices;
[0119] Fault location: based on the calculated probability of node failure. By comparing the failure probabilities of each node in the system, the most likely source of failure is determined. If multiple failures exist, the failure propagation path is combined to determine which devices or components may be the source of secondary failures.
[0120] S5. Based on the fault location results, conduct an equipment health status assessment to obtain the assessment results.
[0121] In this embodiment, the equipment health status assessment includes:
[0122] Based on the fault location results and combined with the equipment's historical operating data, a Bayesian network-based inference method (existing technology) is used to comprehensively analyze the equipment's fault modes, operating environment, and life cycle to conduct an equipment health status assessment. This method helps to assess the equipment's remaining service life and provides data support for subsequent maintenance decisions.
[0123] S6. Based on the evaluation results, perform fault prediction to obtain the fault prediction results.
[0124] In this embodiment, fault prediction includes:
[0125] Based on the assessment results, a fault prediction model is used to analyze the equipment's historical operating data and health assessment information to predict the probability of equipment failure.
[0126] Furthermore, the fault prediction model includes:
[0127] ;
[0128] in:
[0129] : The predicted probability of equipment failure at time t+T;
[0130] : The health status assessment result of device i at time t. The higher the value, the healthier the device; the lower the value, the greater the possibility of device failure.
[0131] Weighting coefficients reflect the impact of different equipment health states on overall fault prediction;
[0132] : Dynamic adjustment coefficient, reflecting the impact of the rate of change in health status on overall fault prediction;
[0133] The rate of change of health status over time;
[0134] Attenuation coefficient: describes the attenuation trend of the equipment's failure probability over a future period of time, and is adjusted according to the equipment's service life and working environment;
[0135] Total number of devices.
[0136] This model combines equipment health status, historical fault data, and time-series characteristics to achieve more accurate fault prediction.
[0137] Compared with traditional prediction methods based on fixed models or relying solely on historical data, this model introduces a dynamic adjustment mechanism, enabling fault prediction to be optimized based on the real-time status and historical trends of the equipment, thereby improving the accuracy and response speed of fault prediction.
[0138] The steps for using the model include:
[0139] Data Acquisition: Obtain the health status assessment results in step S6. And calculate the rate of change of health status over time. Capture device health trends;
[0140] Parameter adjustment: Adjust the weighting coefficients of the device health status based on the acquired data. Coefficient of the rate of change in health status This improves the model's prediction accuracy and reduces errors in equipment failure prediction.
[0141] Fault prediction: Based on the obtained data and parameters, fault prediction is performed to obtain the predicted equipment failure probability at time t+T. This probability value reflects the likelihood of equipment failure. Based on the prediction results, maintenance personnel can take corresponding preventive measures before the failure occurs, such as performing maintenance, replacing equipment, or adjusting operating strategies in advance.
