The infrared sensor and the temperature sensor are used for temperature monitoring of a generator rotor, a main transformer bushing, and a high-voltage switch contact. The vibration sensor is used for fault monitoring of bearing wear, rotor imbalance, and structural looseness of a hydraulic turbine and an excitation system. The current sensor and the voltage sensor are used for excitation current and excitation voltage waveform monitoring of an excitation system and secondary side current and voltage signal monitoring of a relay protection device. The pressure sensor is used for monitoring of water flow excitation and pipe wall stress vibration of a penstock. The microwave detector is used for structural deformation and displacement monitoring of a gate and a valve. The data collected by the sensors is transmitted to the data acquisition terminal through wireless communication. The data transmission mode is AES encryption transmission.

Hadoop HDFS is used to store high-frequency acquisition time series monitoring data, and Apache Ozone is used to manage video monitoring and three-dimensional model data. The computing acceleration layer uses a combination of Spark and Alluxio to achieve millisecond-level response of real-time data through memory caching, supporting million-level data point stream processing capability per second. According to the characteristics of different types of data, the big data storage system implements a hierarchical storage strategy: setting three types of hot data, warm data, and cold data, hot data residing in memory and NVMe SSD, warm data using HDD RAID6 storage, and cold data migrating to a Blu-ray library. It can support 10 TB of data per day, providing high-concurrency and low-latency data services for power generation dispatching, fully meeting the data management needs of hydropower station production operation, ecological dispatching, and decision analysis, and supporting fast reading, writing, and querying of massive data. The data mining and analysis module is used for spatial and temporal scale registration of data and processing of data signals into sound, light, and electrical signals directly or after conversion.

The intelligent control module is based on the diagnosis results and constructs a rapid response decision knowledge base under the warning mode to support user work under the warning mode. The knowledge base adopts a modular architecture design, includes a facility and equipment abnormal feature library, a historical disposal case library, and a dynamic strategy generation engine. When the intelligent diagnosis system detects a warning signal, it first matches similar historical cases through a graph neural network, and then combines real-time equipment state data to quickly generate a decision suggestion including disposal priority, operation steps, and expected impact. The intelligent diagnosis system supports multi-modal interaction, and in addition to traditional interface display, it also provides AR glasses visual guidance to overlay equipment parameters and operation guidance to the real scene through spatial positioning technology, enabling field personnel to quickly locate problem points. The optimization scheduling system considers the power generation plan, equipment state, power price, and environmental constraint factors under new energy grid connection, constructs a hydroelectric optimization scheduling model, optimizes the comprehensive operation efficiency of the hydropower station, and considers the requirements of the power grid on hydropower after new energy grid connection. After the new constraints of equipment state after frequent start and stop of hydropower facilities and equipment after new energy grid connection, the constraints faced by new developments can be effectively solved. By setting the environmental constraint as the highest priority, and arranging the power generation plan, equipment state, power price, and environmental constraint factors in turn, an optimal power generation scheduling scheme is formulated by using an optimization algorithm (such as genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization algorithm), to realize economic operation and energy saving and emission reduction of the hydropower station, and to formulate the best power generation scheduling scheme.
