Description

[0002] Oil-immersed transformers, as crucial equipment in power systems, are widely used in power transmission and distribution networks, especially in high-voltage and high-capacity power conversion scenarios. Their primary function is heat dissipation, protection, and insulation through oil-immersed insulation. Therefore, monitoring and maintaining their operating status is paramount. However, due to their complex operating environment, long-term operation, and susceptibility to external factors, oil-immersed transformers are prone to various faults, such as overheating, partial discharge, and mechanical damage. Failure to detect and address these issues promptly can lead to equipment failure or even major safety accidents.

[0003] Traditional methods for monitoring and diagnosing transformer faults mainly rely on single detection methods, such as temperature monitoring and gas monitoring. Although these methods can monitor the operating status of equipment to a certain extent, they lack sufficient comprehensiveness, cannot accurately and timely determine the health status of equipment, and are easily affected by external interference, leading to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. Therefore, how to achieve intelligent monitoring, health assessment, and fault early warning of oil-immersed transformers through comprehensive analysis of multiple physical field data has become an important issue facing the power industry.

[0004] Currently, with the rapid development of technologies such as smart grids, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence, the means of transformer health monitoring are gradually moving towards multi-dimensional data fusion and intelligent diagnosis. In order to improve the operational safety and maintenance efficiency of transformers, there is an urgent need for a transformer fault monitoring technology based on dynamic calibration and intelligent data fusion of multi-physical field collaborative perception.

Attached Figure Description

[0043] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the process structure of a dynamic calibration method and system for multi-physics field data fusion of an oil-immersed transformer according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0044] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, a dynamic calibration method for oil-immersed transformers using multi-physics data fusion is presented. This method includes the following steps: real-time acquisition of multi-physics data from the oil-immersed transformer using multiple sensors, including temperature data, vibration data, UHF signal data, and gas data; dynamic calibration of the acquired data, employing an adaptive optimization algorithm to select the optimal calibration model, and evaluating the calibration effect based on an objective function; extraction of dynamic features from each physical field data, and generation of comprehensive feature parameters through a weighted fusion method; intelligent analysis of the multi-physics data using a fusion diagnostic engine, calculating a comprehensive diagnostic score and determining the fault type; and generation of early warning information based on the health status assessment results, providing support for operation and maintenance decisions.

[0046] Dynamic calibration includes:

[0047] Linear regression, support vector regression, random forest regression, or neural networks are used as candidate calibration algorithms; calibration accuracy is evaluated using mean square error, weighted mean square error, or adaptive error metrics; calibration model parameters are dynamically adjusted by combining reinforcement learning, genetic algorithms, or particle swarm optimization; temperature sensors installed on transformer windings and oil temperature are used to acquire transformer temperature information in real time; vibration sensors are installed on the transformer casing to collect vibration signals during transformer operation; UHF signal sensors are used to capture partial discharge signals that may occur inside the transformer; and gas sensors are used to detect the composition and concentration of dissolved gases in transformer oil, such as hydrogen, methane, and ethylene.

[0048] Feature parameter extraction includes: calculating the trend, fluctuation, and rate of change of temperature data using the sliding window technique; performing frequency domain analysis and time domain statistical extraction on vibration data; performing wavelet transform on UHF signals to extract partial discharge characteristics; calculating the concentration change trend and key gas component ratios for gas data; and employing linear regression, support vector regression, random forest regression, or neural networks as candidate calibration algorithms. In practical applications, a suitable algorithm can be selected for preliminary calibration based on the characteristics of the data and calibration requirements.

[0049] Calibration accuracy assessment: The calibration accuracy is assessed using mean square error, weighted mean square error, or adaptive error measures; for example, the mean square error of the data before and after calibration is calculated to evaluate the calibration effect.

[0050] Dynamic adjustment of calibration model parameters: Combining reinforcement learning, genetic algorithms or particle swarm optimization to dynamically adjust calibration model parameters. Taking reinforcement learning as an example, through continuous trial and error and feedback, the parameters of the calibration model are optimized to improve calibration accuracy.

[0051] The fusion diagnostic engine uses a weighted fusion formula to calculate the comprehensive diagnostic score and dynamically adjusts it through an adaptive optimization algorithm. The fusion diagnostic engine adopts a multi-level decision fusion architecture, which includes a data preprocessing layer, a single-domain diagnostic layer, a weight dynamic adjustment layer, and a comprehensive decision layer. Among them, the data preprocessing layer standardizes the feature parameters of each physical field and unifies the dimensions to the interval [-1,1]. The single-domain diagnostic layer uses a random forest classifier (temperature / gas data), a convolutional neural network (vibration data), and an LSTM neural network (UHF signal) to calculate the single-domain fault probability, with an output range of [0,1].

[0052] Fault type determination includes: when the temperature trend or gas concentration is abnormal, it is determined to be an overheating fault;

[0053] When the vibration spectrum is abnormal and accompanied by a sudden change in the UHF signal, it is determined to be a mechanical fault; when the UHF signal is significantly abnormal and the gas composition changes, it is determined to be a partial discharge fault; when multiple physical field data are abnormal simultaneously, it is determined to be a multi-factor coupling fault; when the temperature trend and gas concentration are abnormal, it is determined to be an overheating fault. For example, when the transformer winding temperature continues to rise and the concentration of gases such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in the dissolved gases in the oil increases, it is determined to be an overheating fault. When the vibration spectrum is abnormal and accompanied by a sudden change in the UHF signal, it is determined to be a mechanical fault, such as when a specific frequency abnormal peak appears in the vibration signal and the UHF signal suddenly increases, it is determined to be a mechanical fault. When the UHF signal is significantly abnormal and the gas composition changes, it is determined to be a partial discharge fault. If the UHF signal intensity increases significantly and the concentration of gases such as hydrogen and acetylene in the dissolved gases in the oil increases, it is determined to be a partial discharge fault. When multiple physical field data are abnormal simultaneously, it is determined to be a multi-factor coupling fault. The abnormal value judgment mechanism has a fixed threshold: applicable to safety critical parameters, such as oil temperature ≥105℃ (emergency fault threshold). The dynamic threshold: calculated based on historical 7-day data.

[0054] A time window sliding mechanism (default 15 minutes) is adopted. When the overlap rate of different physical field abnormal signals is ≥30% within the time window, it is judged as a synchronization abnormality.

[0055] The health status assessment steps include: classifying health levels based on comprehensive diagnostic scores; predicting potential failure risks by combining historical data; and generating early warning signals.

[0059] The operation and maintenance management platform includes: a data visualization interface that displays multi-physics data and health status in real time. It intuitively presents transformer operating data and health status through charts, curves, and other formats; an early warning push module that sends fault warning information to operation and maintenance personnel. When a transformer malfunctions, it promptly sends warning information to operation and maintenance personnel via SMS, email, etc.; and an intelligent decision support module that provides maintenance suggestions and optimized operation and maintenance strategies.
