Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of transformers, in particular to a transformer health assessment and technical improvement decision optimization method. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous development of power systems, as one of the core equipment, the health management and fault prevention of transformers become particularly important. Traditional transformer monitoring methods usually rely on periodic inspection and manual diagnosis, mainly through manual reading of sensor data or manual analysis of test results to judge the running state of the equipment. These methods have obvious limitations. First, the data collection is not comprehensive enough to reflect the real-time health status of the equipment. Second, fault prediction relies on human experience, which is difficult to be accurate and efficient, and may lead to failure to discover equipment failure in time, or even over-maintenance. In addition, traditional methods usually lack long-term health trend prediction for equipment, and cannot provide scientific basis for technical improvement decision of equipment. Although existing technologies have gradually introduced sensors and monitoring systems, combined with some automatic equipment for real-time data monitoring, these technologies still face problems such as single data and low processing efficiency. Common monitoring technologies such as temperature, vibration and oil chromatographic data can provide certain equipment running state information, but these data often exist in isolation, lacking effective fusion and comprehensive analysis. Therefore, although there are some automatic monitoring systems, it is still difficult to achieve comprehensive and accurate assessment of the health status of transformer equipment, and most technologies cannot accurately predict the future operation risk of equipment, lacking predictability of potential faults. For example, the power distribution transformer health index evaluation method mentioned in patent CN105404936A can evaluate the health degree by obtaining the state index data of the transformer, but there are still deficiencies in the fusion processing of multi-modal data and the application of deep learning model.

[0003] Therefore, the present application proposes a transformer health assessment and decision optimization method based on multi-modal data and deep learning model. SUMMARY

[0042] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0043] The method of the present application comprehensively obtains the operation state information of the transformer through multi-modal data acquisition, including the transformer surface image and infrared temperature field data collected by the infrared dual-spectrum unmanned aerial vehicle, the vibration signal collected by the vibration sensor array, the transformer oil chromatogram data monitored by the gas sensor in the oil, etc., forming a rich multi-modal original data set, providing a data basis for subsequent accurate evaluation. Then, the collected data is respectively processed by the generative adversarial network to remove fog from the image data, the wavelet transform to denoise the vibration signal, and the moving average smoothing to process the oil chromatogram data, effectively improving the quality and reliability of the data, making the subsequent analysis more accurate. Then, the preprocessed data is input into the multi-modal deep learning model, and different types of data are processed by the time series analysis module, the image segmentation module, the vibration spectrum analysis module, etc., to generate gas trend prediction results, hot spot area positioning results, mechanical fault determination results, etc., realizing intelligent identification of multiple potential faults of the transformer. Then, the health scores of each dimension are calculated according to the fault identification results, and the dynamic weight distribution strategy is used to fuse them into a comprehensive health score, so as to comprehensively and accurately reflect the overall health status of the transformer. Finally, based on the comprehensive health score and historical fault records, a graded maintenance strategy is generated, and a multi-objective optimization model is constructed to solve the optimal technical improvement scheme sequence when the technical improvement trigger condition is met, realizing scientific decision and optimization of transformer maintenance and technical improvement, improving the intelligent level of equipment management, reducing unplanned shutdown, and reducing the production cost of the power grid.

[0044] The present application further refines the processing method of different types of data in step S2, making the fog removal, denoising and smoothing process more specific and concrete, which helps to further improve the effect and quality of data preprocessing, provides more reliable input data for subsequent deep learning model analysis, and thus improves the accuracy of fault identification and the precision of health assessment.

[0045] The present application limits the specific implementation methods and determination conditions of each module of the multi-modal deep learning model in step S3, such as using long short-term memory network LSTM to analyze the time series characteristics of oil chromatogram data in the time series analysis module, using an improved U-Net model to locate the hot spot area in the image segmentation module, and using one-dimensional convolutional neural network 1D-CNN to extract the frequency spectrum characteristics of the vibration signal in the vibration spectrum analysis module. These specific implementation methods can more effectively extract features and information from the data, improve the accuracy of fault determination, and make the fault identification more scientific and reliable.

[0046] The application specifies the calculation method of each dimension health score and the fusion strategy of comprehensive health score in step S4. Through calculation based on specific indicators and weights, the health status of the transformer in various aspects can be more accurately quantified. Through dynamic weight distribution and entropy weight method weighted average calculation of comprehensive health score, the scoring result is more scientific and reasonable, and better reflects the real health status of the transformer, providing a strong basis for subsequent maintenance and technical improvement decision.

According to the fault severity, different maintenance strategies are formulated, which can more reasonably arrange maintenance resources and time, and improve maintenance efficiency. At the same time, the multi-objective optimization model is constructed to maximize the health score improvement, minimize the transformation cost and power outage time, and the optimal transformation scheme sequence is solved by improved NSGA-III algorithm, which realizes the optimization selection of transformation scheme under the condition of meeting various constraints, balances the relationship between equipment health improvement and cost control, and improves the scientificity and economy of transformation decision.

[0048] The application describes the specific steps and strategies of the improved NSGA-III algorithm. Through non-dominated sorting, adaptive reference point strategy, hybrid selection strategy, and dynamic crossover and mutation operators, high-quality transformation schemes can be effectively searched and selected to ensure the diversity and coverage of the solution set, improve the global exploration ability and local development ability of the algorithm, and provide strong support for obtaining better transformation decision.

[0049] The application supplements the specific data collection methods and related contents of infrared dual-spectrum unmanned aerial vehicle, vibration sensor array and oil gas sensor in step S1, such as synchronously collecting visible light and infrared images by unmanned aerial vehicle and marking key area coordinates by GPS positioning, deploying position of vibration sensor array and eliminating installation error interference by Kalman filter, generating oil chromatogram time series data by oil gas sensor combined with time stamp, etc. These details further improve the data collection process, which helps to improve the accuracy and integrity of the data, and provides better data support for subsequent analysis and evaluation.

[0050] The application limits the specific method of partial discharge detection and cross-modal matching related content in step S3, and specifies that the discharge pulse signal is collected by high-frequency sensor and the electrical insulation fault is determined according to specific conditions, and the Mel frequency distribution is extracted after the voiceprint signal is preprocessed by filter bank for cross-modal matching. The way can more accurately identify the partial discharge phenomenon and related faults, and improve the monitoring and evaluation ability of the electrical insulation state of the transformer.

[0051] The application further refines the content of the dynamic weight allocation strategy in step S4, emphasizes the influence degree of each dimension on the reliability of the device, and dynamically optimizes through the entropy weight method combined with historical failure data, and in specific cases, the mechanism of forcibly increasing the weight proportion of a certain dimension and triggering real-time health state warning, so that the calculation of the health score is more in line with the actual situation, the potential risks of the transformer can be found and focused in time, and the reliability and warning ability of the evaluation result are enhanced.

[0052] The application supplements the specific content of the optimization of the technical improvement scheme in step S5, including the specific implementation mode of the budget constraint, the high-risk device coverage constraint and the power outage time constraint, and the screening method of the non-dominated solution set, and through the dynamic programming algorithm, the funds are allocated and the scheme with the highest diversity is screened based on the congestion distance, etc., further perfecting the optimization process of the technical improvement decision, ensuring the feasibility and effectiveness of the technical improvement scheme under the satisfaction of various constraint conditions, and improving the scientificity and rationality of the technical improvement decision.

[0060] The application provides a transformer health evaluation and technical improvement decision optimization method based on multi-modal data and a deep learning model, which provides decision support for the technical improvement and maintenance of power grid equipment and improves the scientificity and rationality of projects.

[0061] The above technical purpose of the application is achieved by the following technical scheme:

[0062] As shown in Figures 1-5 A transformer health evaluation and technical improvement decision optimization method based on multi-modal data and a deep learning model, which specifically comprises the following steps:

[0063] Step S1, data acquisition is performed, and a variety of sensors and devices are deployed to comprehensively acquire data of the transformer. High-resolution images and infrared temperature field data of the surface of the transformer are acquired by using an infrared dual-spectrum unmanned aerial vehicle, which are used to detect temperature abnormalities and surface damage; vibration signals of the transformer are acquired by using a vibration sensor array, which are used to analyze the running state of the equipment and identify potential mechanical faults; meanwhile, oil chromatographic data of the transformer are monitored by using an oil gas sensor, which are used to evaluate the influence of the external environment on the equipment.

[0064] The infrared dual-spectrum unmanned aerial vehicle is used to fly and acquire images of the surface of the transformer. Meanwhile, temperature field data are acquired by using an infrared sensor, and special attention is paid to the key areas of the transformer. The time stamp, area position and image content of the images and the temperature data are recorded.

[0065] Vibration sensors are deployed at the key positions of the transformer, including the base and the shell. The vibration signals of the equipment under different running conditions are recorded. The vibration data are acquired in real time by using the sensors, and the time stamp and frequency information of each data point are recorded.

[0066] The oil gas sensor is deployed, and the oil chromatographic data of the transformer are acquired regularly. The environmental parameters including the salt density and the humidity and the time stamp of each data point are recorded. The sensors are used to monitor in real time according to the change rate.

[0067] The electrical parameters such as the current and the voltage of the transformer are monitored in real time by using the SCADA system.

[0068] The load, the current and the voltage data of the equipment are recorded regularly, which provide background information for the health evaluation.

[0069] Step S2, after the data acquisition, the fog and haze interference in the images is removed by using a generative adversarial network, the wavelet transform is used to denoise the vibration signals, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the signals is enhanced. The stability of the oil chromatographic data is improved by using data smoothing processing. Finally, the cleaned and enhanced data provide a reliable basis for the subsequent defect identification and health evaluation.

[0070] Image data fog removal and enhancement

[0071] The generative adversarial network performs image defogging processing through two opposing network structures, a generator and a discriminator. The generator is responsible for generating defogged images, while the discriminator evaluates the authenticity of the generated images. Through adversarial training, the defogging effect of the generator is gradually optimized, thereby removing the haze interference in the image, enhancing the clarity of the image, and ensuring that the quality of the image is not affected by the haze during subsequent defect identification.

[0084] Wavelet denoising of vibration signals

[0085] Wavelet transform effectively distinguishes useful parts from noise in the signal by decomposing the signal into components of different frequencies. It can separate high-frequency noise from low-frequency effective signals in vibration signals, retain important low-frequency features, and remove high-frequency environmental noise or equipment background noise, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of vibration signals and making subsequent fault diagnosis more accurate.

[0106] Step S3, intelligent identification and maintenance decision of transformer defects are realized by constructing a multi-modal deep learning model. Combining visual and vibration signal data sources, deep learning technology is used for defect identification and technical improvement maintenance decision. First, the LSTM network is used to analyze the oil chromatogram data to predict the gas growth trend. When the ratio exceeds 0.1 and the hydrogen concentration change exceeds 50 ppm / month, it is automatically determined as a high temperature overheating fault. Then, the improved U-Net model is used to process the infrared thermal imaging data to locate the hot spot area of the transformer and determine whether there is an overheating fault through temperature difference analysis. Next, the 1D-CNN model is used for frequency spectrum analysis of the vibration signal, and the soundprint signal is combined for cross-modal matching. When the vibration energy exceeds 3σ and the soundprint pulse count is abnormal, it is determined as a core loose fault. In addition, the partial discharge detection method is used to identify electrical faults to ensure timely detection of insulation problems.

[0107] (1) LSTM network analyzes oil chromatogram data

[0108] Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is a special type of Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) that is well suited for processing time series data. For oil chromatogram data, LSTM can capture the trend of gas concentration changes over time and predict future gas growth trends, thereby determining whether the equipment has a high temperature overheating fault. By inputting oil chromatogram data, the LSTM model can identify the pattern of gas concentration changes and automatically determine a high temperature overheating fault when the ratio exceeds 0.1 and the hydrogen concentration change exceeds 50 ppm / month.

[0109] The core of the LSTM network is to capture long-term dependencies in time series through hidden states. The network calculates the following formula:

[0110] Input gate (controls the flow of new information):

[0111] i t = σ(W xi x t +W hi h t-1 +b i )

[0112] Based on the current input and the hidden state at the previous time, the activation value of the input gate is calculated to determine how much information to retain.

[0114] f t = σ(W xf x t +W hf h t-1 +b f )

[0115] Based on the current input x t and the hidden state h t-1 of the last moment, decide how much memory information to forget.

[0116] Memory cell update (fuse new and old information):

[0117] C t = f t ⊙C t-1 +i t ⊙tanh(W xc x t +W hc h t-1 +b c )

[0118] The cell state C t is controlled by the forget gate f t The cell state C t-1 of the previous moment and the new information controlled by the input gate i t , is updated through the weighted combination of the current input x t and the hidden state h t-1 of the last moment.

[0119] Output gate (generate prediction results):

[0120] h t = o t ⊙tanh(C t ), o t = σ(W xo x t +W ho h t-1 +b o )

[0121] Based on the current input x t and the hidden state h t-1 of the last moment, decide the activation value of the output gate.

[0122] Where W x , W h represent the weight matrix, used for linear transformation of input x t and the hidden state ht-1 , control the strength of information transmission. x acts on the current input x t , W h acts on the hidden state h t-1 of the previous moment. i , b f , b c ,

[0127] (2) Improved U-Net model for processing infrared thermal imaging data

[0128] U-Net is a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture for image segmentation, especially suitable for regional identification of medical images. In this patent, the improved U-Net model is used to process the infrared thermal imaging data of the transformer, locate the hot spot area of the device, and determine whether there is an overheating fault through temperature difference analysis.

[0129] To address the problem of environmental temperature interference on outdoor equipment, a temperature compensation module is embedded in the improved U-Net structure to eliminate the influence of environmental temperature difference on hot spot detection.

The measured T 实测 is the measured temperature value, the original collected temperature data. The environmental T 环境 represents the ambient temperature, referring to the temperature of the environment where the sensor is located.

[0144] 1D Convolutional Neural Networks (1D-CNNs) are specifically designed for processing one-dimensional sequential data. In vibration signal analysis, 1D-CNNs extract features from vibration signals through convolution operations to identify early signs of faults. Combined with acoustic signature signals, cross-modal matching is performed to further determine whether mechanical faults, such as loose iron cores, exist.

[0145] Vibration signal analysis:

[0146]

[0147] Where E vib Represents vibrational energy, with units of m / s. 2 |X(f)| 2The square of the spectrum amplitude of the vibration signal represents the energy of the vibration signal at a specific frequency f. f represents the frequency, and the integral range is 100 Hz to 400 Hz.

[0148] Convolution kernel response:

[0149]

[0150] where y i represents the output of the convolution layer. x i+k-1 represents the i+k-1th value in the input signal x. w k represents the kth weight value of the convolution kernel. b represents the bias term. ReLU is a rectified linear unit, an activation function, used for nonlinear mapping.

[0151] This formula represents the processing of the input signal x by the convolution operation using 5 convolution kernels w k to extract signal features. Then the output of the convolution is nonlinearly transformed by the ReLU activation function.

[0152] Voiceprint signal processing:

[0153]

[0154] where Mel(f) is the Mel frequency scale, representing the frequency of the audio signal. f represents the frequency.

[0155] When the following conditions are met simultaneously, it is determined that the core is loose: and the next minute

[0156] E vib > 3σ vib and N audio > 20 times / minute

[0157] Partial discharge detection

[0158] The detection of partial discharge is usually through high-frequency sensors or current sensors to collect signals. Its signal is usually a pulse signal, which can be analyzed by analyzing its amplitude, frequency and distribution characteristics to evaluate the health.

[0159] When the partial discharge intensity PD intensity and the pulse count N pd exceed the set threshold, it indicates that the equipment has an electrical insulation problem and needs further inspection. The judgment conditions are as follows:

[0160] or

[0161] PD intensity > threshold pd or N pd > threshold count

[0162] wherein:

[0163] threshold pd : set threshold of partial discharge intensity.

[0164] threshold count : set threshold of partial discharge pulse count.

[0165] When one of the two conditions is met, the device is determined to have an electrical fault.

[0166] Step S4, through the quantitative analysis of the diagnosis results such as vibration signal, infrared thermal image data, partial discharge signal, etc., a single health score will be obtained for each dimension. Then, combined with the weight of each dimension, these individual scores will be weighted and averaged to obtain a comprehensive health score. The lower the comprehensive score, the worse the health of the device, and the higher the risk of failure.

[0167] (1) Oil chromatographic data analysis

[0168] The change of gas concentration in transformer oil is analyzed, and the health condition of the oil is determined by the set threshold. By calculating the ratio of characteristic gases and the change of gas concentration, the oil chromatographic health score is obtained.

[0169] Oil chromatographic health score calculation formula:

[0170]

[0171] wherein: C C2H2 and C C2H4 are the concentrations of characteristic gases, ΔH2 is the change of hydrogen concentration, and α and β are weight coefficients, which can be adjusted according to actual conditions.

[0172] (2) Temperature health score

[0173] Based on the infrared thermal imaging data of the transformer, the temperature abnormality of the transformer bushing joint area is evaluated by analyzing the temperature difference. According to the temperature difference threshold, the temperature health condition is determined, and the temperature health score is calculated.

[0174] Temperature health score calculation formula:

[0175]

[0176] wherein: ΔT max is the maximum temperature difference, T threshold is the set temperature difference threshold, and if the temperature difference exceeds the threshold, the score will be reduced.

[0177] (3) Vibration health score

[0178] By analyzing the vibration spectrum data of the transformer, the vibration characteristics of a specific frequency band are extracted to evaluate the mechanical health status. When the vibration energy exceeds the normal range, it is determined as a potential mechanical failure, and the vibration health score is calculated accordingly.

[0179] Vibration health score calculation formula:

[0180]

[0181] Where:

[0182] E vibration is the actual measured vibration energy,

[0183] E threshold is the preset normal energy threshold, and if the vibration energy exceeds the standard, the score will be reduced.

[0184] (4) Partial discharge health score

[0185] Partial discharge detection evaluates the electrical insulation health status of the transformer by analyzing the frequency and intensity of partial discharge signals. When partial discharge is frequent and strong, it indicates that the electrical insulation is at risk of deterioration, thereby affecting the health score.

[0186] Partial discharge health score calculation formula:

[0187]

[0188] Where:

[0189] PD intensity is the intensity of partial discharge,

[0190] PD max is the maximum discharge intensity set, and if the discharge intensity is large, the health score is lower.

[0191] (5) Calculation of comprehensive health score

[0192] The comprehensive health score of the transformer is calculated by weighted average of each dimension health score. The health score of each dimension is assigned a corresponding weight according to its impact on the overall health of the device.

[0193] Comprehensive health score calculation formula:

[0194] HI = w1·HI oil + w2·HI temp + w3·HI vibration + w4·HI pd

[0195] Where:

[0196] w1, w2, w3, w4 are the weight coefficients of oil chromatography, temperature, vibration and partial discharge, respectively, satisfying:

[0197] W1+W2+W3+W4=1

[0198] The comprehensive health score can reflect the overall health condition of the transformer, providing a basis for subsequent maintenance or technical improvement decisions.

[0199] Step S5, according to the severity of different faults, generate hierarchical maintenance strategy, including emergency repair, planned maintenance and continuous monitoring. When the same device has the same defect for more than 3 years or the cumulative maintenance cost exceeds 50% of the device residual value, it belongs to the scope of technical improvement project. Further, based on the health status of the equipment, the cost of improvement and the constraints of power grid operation, a multi-objective optimization model is constructed, and the improved NSGA-III algorithm is used to solve the optimal technical improvement scheme, ensuring that high-risk and high-benefit projects are disposed of within the budget.

[0200] Maintenance and technical improvement decisions

[0201] According to the fault level and specific judgment conditions of the transformer, a hierarchical maintenance strategy is developed. The fault level is divided into three categories: emergency repair, planned maintenance and continuous monitoring. Emergency repair is suitable for equipment with poor health status or sudden serious faults, which needs to be shut down immediately and completed within 24 hours. Planned maintenance is suitable for equipment with less serious faults, such as CHI value between 0.4 and 0.7, and the same defect recurs 1-2 times, and the maintenance can be completed within 30 days. Continuous monitoring is suitable for equipment with light faults, CHI value greater than or equal to 0.7, and the equipment shows slight abnormalities. In this case, enhanced data collection and real-time tracking are adopted.

[0202]

[0203] The trigger condition of technical improvement project is based on the health status of the equipment and historical fault data. When the same fault of the equipment recurs more than 3 times a year, or the residual value of the equipment is lower than the set standard, the technical improvement evaluation will be started. The residual value of the equipment is calculated by the formula, considering the original value, design life and running time of the equipment. If the cumulative maintenance cost exceeds 50% of the residual value of the equipment, the technical improvement evaluation will also be triggered. Through these judgment conditions, timely technical improvement of the equipment is ensured, avoiding further fault risk and high maintenance cost.

According to the solution result, the most suitable technical improvement scheme can be selected according to actual demand, so as to ensure the efficient operation and economy of the transformer. It provides strong support for technical improvement decision, which helps to improve the long-term stability and safety of the equipment.
