Temperature monitoring in existing methods is usually based on local data only, lacking dynamic tracking of global temperature field, and unable to provide detailed risk assessment. Risk assessment is often based on static standards, unable to adapt to changing working environments and operating conditions in a timely manner, making it difficult to respond effectively in emergency situations. Finally, most existing methods lack intelligent control capabilities, unable to actively adjust device operating parameters based on real-time monitoring data, reducing the risk of lightning arresters.

[0079] Referring to Figure 3 As shown, based on the axial temperature distribution of each column resistance sheet at the current moment and the predicted current data, a multi-column lightning arrester thermal-electric coupling simulation model is established, and the energy absorption density and predicted temperature distribution field of each column resistance sheet in a future time window are calculated. Specifically, it includes:

[0080] Based on the current heat equation and the heat conduction equation, a thermal-electric coupling simulation model is constructed, and real-time collected data is used as the initial condition of the simulation model;

[0081] The heat conduction equation is solved by finite difference method, and the temperature change of the resistance sheet at each position of the same column at each moment is calculated combined with the current data;

[0082] The energy absorption density of each resistance disc is calculated by calculating the heat source intensity of each resistance disc at each time step;

[0084] The predicted temperature distribution field of the dynamic multi-column lightning arrester is obtained by updating the temperature of each resistance disc at each time step and combining the temperature of adjacent resistance discs.

[0085] Specifically, when the current passes through the resistance disc, the Joule heat generated by the resistance can be calculated by the following formula:

[0086]

[0087] wherein, is the heat generated by the resistance disc, is the predicted current, is the resistance of the resistance disc;

[0088] The heat conduction equation describes the process of heat propagation in materials. For a three-dimensional problem, the heat conduction equation can be written as:

[0092]

[0093] wherein, is the energy absorption density of the resistance disc at position x and time t, is the heat source, is the volume of the resistance disc;

[0094] The temperature distribution field of the entire lightning arrester is formed by performing the same thermal-electric coupling simulation on all resistance discs of the multi-column lightning arrester to obtain the temperature of each resistance disc;

[0095] At each time step, the temperature of the resistance sheet is updated, considering the temperature conduction effect of adjacent resistance sheets, the temperature exchange between the i-th resistance sheet and its adjacent resistance sheets is carried out through heat conduction, the heat flow between adjacent resistance sheets is calculated through the heat conduction formula, and the formula is:

[0096]

[0097] wherein, is the heat flow between the resistance sheets i and i+1, is the thermal conductivity, is the distance between adjacent resistance sheets, , is the temperature of the resistance sheet i and i+1;

[0098] Through the temperature update of all resistance sheets, the dynamic temperature distribution field of the entire multi-column lightning arrester is finally obtained.

[0099] Referring to Figure 4 , the temperature change of each position of the resistance sheet at each moment is calculated by solving the heat conduction equation by the finite difference method combined with current data, which specifically includes:

[0100] The resistance sheet is discretized into a plurality of small units along the axial space, and each position is defined, and the time is discretized into a plurality of small steps;

[0103] Based on the discretized heat conduction equation, the temperature of each position is calculated, and the temperature field at both ends is updated according to the boundary condition;

[0104] The above process is repeated step by step until the predetermined prediction period is reached, and the temperature of each position of the resistance sheet at each moment is output.

[0105] Specifically, the heat conduction equation is discretized in space and time to obtain the discrete formula of the finite difference method, and the formula is:

[0117] Specifically, according to the material properties and design standards of the resistance sheet, the risk level at different temperatures is defined. The risk level here is mainly set according to the maximum working temperature of the resistance sheet and the thermal stability of the material;

[0118] The temperature and energy absorption density of each region are weighted and merged to obtain the comprehensive risk index of each region. Through the comprehensive risk index, the risk classification of each region is carried out, which is divided into low risk area, medium risk area and high risk area. According to the classification result of the comprehensive risk index, the risk level of each region is identified.

[0119] Referring to Figure 6 Based on the identification result, a differentiated early warning signal is generated, and an active regulation strategy is triggered to regulate the lightning arrester, which specifically includes:

[0120] Based on the identification result, a differentiated early warning signal is generated, including low risk, medium risk and high risk three-level early warning signals;

[0121] Trigger the active regulation strategy to adjust the current sharing impedance of the parallel column valve sheet, so that the current distribution ratio tends to 1. If the single column risk level does not decrease for 3 consecutive prediction periods, the column is forced to exit operation.

[0122] Based on the feedback of the early warning signal and the regulation strategy, the existing regulation algorithm is optimized, and the risk assessment standard is calibrated regularly.

[0123] Specifically, according to the comprehensive risk assessment index of the high-risk area, the early warning signal is divided into different levels, low risk: the temperature and energy absorption density of the resistance sheet are within the normal range, the risk can be ignored, medium risk: the temperature of the resistance sheet is close to the safety threshold, or the energy absorption density increases, there is a potential risk of overheating, high risk: the temperature or energy absorption density of the resistance sheet exceeds the set threshold, there is a possibility of immediate failure, emergency measures need to be taken;

[0124] When the comprehensive risk index of a certain resistance sheet or area exceeds the preset threshold, the corresponding early warning signal is triggered, and according to the identification of the high-risk area and the early warning signal, the active regulation strategy will take different regulation measures based on different risk levels to ensure the safe operation of the lightning arrester. The regulation of low-risk areas includes no immediate intervention, continues normal operation, but needs regular inspection and monitoring. Regular inspection is carried out on low-risk areas within the planned maintenance period to ensure their continued stability.

[0125] The regulation of medium-risk areas includes reducing the load of the resistance sheet or reducing the working current to reduce the heat generated, avoiding further temperature rise, reducing the current through the resistance sheet to reduce the generation of Joule heat, redistributing the load from the medium-risk area to other low-risk areas to reduce heat accumulation, and enhancing cooling measures if the resistance sheet temperature is close to the safety threshold, such as improving air circulation, increasing ventilation, and starting the standby cooling system.

[0126] The regulation of high-risk areas includes immediately disabling the high-risk area: if the risk level of a certain area is high, the disabling program is triggered immediately to cut off the current to prevent failure, quickly cut off the current to stop the current through the high-risk resistance sheet to prevent overheating from further causing equipment damage, and immediately start the safety mechanisms such as automatic power-off protection and overheating protection to ensure safety. The cooling system in the high-risk area needs to be started as soon as possible to quickly reduce the temperature of the resistance sheet. When a high-risk area appears, maintenance personnel are immediately arranged to conduct detailed inspection on site to determine the cause of the failure and take temporary repair measures.
