Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of power distribution station operation state monitoring, and in particular to a station building degradation trajectory prediction method fusing physical priori and spatiotemporal knowledge embedding. BACKGROUND

[0002] The station building equipment is the core infrastructure for the safe and stable operation of the power system, and its degradation trajectory prediction is crucial for early identification of equipment degradation trends and the development of accurate operation and maintenance strategies. However, existing degradation prediction techniques still have significant limitations and cannot meet actual needs. On the one hand, purely data-driven prediction methods can capture statistical patterns in data, but they are highly dependent on a large amount of historical fault data and complete degradation samples. However, actual station building equipment generally has long service life and low failure characteristics, and fault data, especially early degradation data, are scarce, leading to insufficient model training and poor generalization ability. In the absence of fault data, it is difficult to achieve accurate extrapolation prediction, and it is easy to deviate from the true degradation trend due to overfitting of normal data. On the other hand, purely physically mechanism-driven prediction methods are based on equipment degradation mechanisms to construct equation models, without relying on fault data. However, due to the complex structure of station building equipment and the characteristics of multi-physical field coupling, it is difficult to establish a comprehensive and accurate mechanism equation, and the dynamic correlation information of multi-source heterogeneous monitoring data is ignored, resulting in limited prediction accuracy and inability to effectively depict the subtle degradation process of equipment. In addition, existing technologies generally do not address the effective fusion of multi-source heterogeneous data, resulting in data silos, and do not consider the spatiotemporal correlation between station building equipment, making feature representation incomplete, further restricting the accurate perception of the overall degradation state of the equipment by the prediction model, and ultimately leading to the inability of existing technologies to accurately identify early degradation and reliably predict degradation trajectories of equipment, failing to meet the needs of station building equipment life cycle health management and power system safe operation.

[0068] Embodiment 1:

[0069] Please refer to Figs. 1-2 The station house degradation trajectory prediction method of the present application fuses physical priori and spatiotemporal knowledge embedding, including the following steps:

Mechanical data includes vibration acceleration, opening and closing times, and operating torque. Environmental data includes temperature, humidity, and dust concentration. Visual images include equipment appearance images and infrared images. Inspection data includes bolt tightness status, etc.

[0071] By collecting electrical, mechanical, environmental, visual images, and inspection data from station equipment and preprocessing this multi-source heterogeneous data, a state characterization system covering all dimensions of equipment electrical, mechanical, environmental, appearance, and key components can be constructed. This system overcomes the limitations of existing technologies that rely on historical fault data to mine degradation patterns.

The essence of splicing the physical constraint equation is the coordinated constraint of the deterioration mechanisms of multiple components: the contact, the spring and the winding are the core failure components of the station house equipment, and their degradation equations respectively depict the deterioration laws of the electrical, mechanical and insulation systems, and the boundary equation ensures that the deterioration of each component does not exceed the safe operation limit, and the equation set collectively constitutes the physical anchor point of the prediction model, which can avoid the physical misalignment of the model prediction when there is no fault data.

[0099] By constructing the degradation process physical constraint equation and boundary constraint equation of the key physical quantities of the station building equipment, combining the construction of the spatiotemporal knowledge graph and the acquisition of the graph embedding vector set, the core support is provided for solving the problem that the existing technology cannot realize accurate extrapolation prediction when lacking historical failure data: on the one hand, for the switch cabinet contact, based on the obtained cumulative on-off times, contact resistance and corresponding current, combined with the electrical wear coefficient and the mechanical wear coefficient, the contact wear equation is constructed, which can quantify the degradation process caused by electrical erosion and mechanical friction of the contact; for the circuit breaker spring, the initial stiffness, stress cycle number, combined with the attenuation coefficient and the corresponding stress level of the fatigue life, the spring stiffness attenuation equation is built, which can represent the stiffness change rule of the spring fatigue aging; for the transformer winding, according to the dielectric loss angle, winding temperature, combined with the temperature acceleration coefficient and the reference temperature, the winding insulation aging index equation is constructed, which can reflect the aging trend of the winding insulation with the change of temperature and dielectric loss, and at the same time, the boundary constraint equation of the non-negative wear amount, the spring stiffness not lower than the lower threshold, and the winding temperature not higher than the upper threshold is supplemented. These equations constructed based on physical mechanism can provide the underlying physical law constraints of equipment degradation for the prediction model without relying on historical failure data, avoiding the deviation of pure data-driven models from the true degradation trend due to overfitting of normal data when the failure sample is scarce; on the other hand, by defining the spatial, physical, functional, temporal relationships and static, dynamic attributes between entities such as device units, components, sensors, space regions, events / physical quantities, and using the hierarchical structure of the station, floor, interval and installation site to associate the space region entities and bind the absolute and relative coordinates of the entities, combined with the ETL tool to extract and transform the detection data to generate the spatiotemporal knowledge graph, and then taking the graph attention network as the embedding model, assigning an initial vector to each node, combining the attention parameters, linear transformation matrix and node embedding vector to calculate the attention weight of the neighbor nodes of each node, and updating the node embedding vector based on the weight to form a vector set, this process can convert multi-source heterogeneous data into structured features rich in device spatiotemporal association and semantic relationship, even when the failure data is lacking, the missing information gap can be supplemented through the association information between devices, and finally the mechanism guidance provided by the physical constraint equation and the association features provided by the spatiotemporal knowledge graph embedding vector set work together, making the prediction model not only follow the physical law to ensure the rationality of the extrapolation direction, but also capture subtle degradation signals through multi-dimensional association information, effectively breaking through the limitations of relying on historical failure data in the existing technology, and realizing accurate extrapolation prediction of the equipment degradation trajectory.

[0107] By multi-dimensional feature extraction on the multi-source time sequence data of the station building equipment to construct data-driven features, key data support can be provided to solve the problem that the existing technology is difficult to realize accurate extrapolation prediction when lacking historical fault data: for time sequence data containing electrical, mechanical, environmental and inspection data, the mean, variance and peak factor calculated based on the absolute mean are obtained through statistical analysis, and the time domain features formed by splicing can depict the basic state of the equipment during normal operation from the data statistical level, even without fault data, early potential degradation can also be identified through mean shift and variance increase; Fourier transform is performed on the mechanical data to obtain Fourier transform signals, and the main frequency, frequency spectrum energy and spectral entropy calculated based on the energy proportion of each frequency band are further extracted, and the frequency domain features formed by splicing can mine the frequency domain degradation signals hidden in the mechanical data, without relying on fault data, early abnormalities of the mechanical system can be captured; wavelet transform is performed on the mechanical data, and the wavelet entropy calculated based on the decomposition layer number and the energy proportion of each layer wavelet coefficient is used as the time-frequency domain feature, which can accurately capture the instantaneous changes of the signal in the time and frequency dimensions, and further mine the weak degradation information easily ignored in the normal operation data. The complete data features formed by splicing the time domain, frequency domain and time-frequency domain features cover the full-dimensional state description of the multi-source time sequence data from statistical law, frequency distribution to transient change, and a rich normal state benchmark feature library of the equipment is constructed, even if there is no historical fault data, the model can also identify the feature deviation in the equipment operation process based on the feature library, and then accurately capture the degradation trend, providing reliable data level support for extrapolation prediction, effectively breaking through the limitations of the existing technology relying on fault data to mine degradation rules, and ensuring the accuracy of extrapolation prediction.

[0121] By multi-dimensional feature extraction of visual images and infrared images of station building equipment, image features are constructed, which can provide key visual and thermal degradation signal support for solving the problem that existing technologies are difficult to achieve accurate extrapolation prediction when lacking historical failure data: for visual images, first, the appearance image of the equipment is input into the convolution network to obtain the convolution features containing the appearance details, then after grayscale and Gaussian noise preprocessing, the YOLOv8n positioning model is used to accurately obtain the bounding box coordinates of the damaged area, and the U-Net model is used to segment the ROI area whose wear area probability is higher than the threshold, and the ratio of the number of pixels in the damaged area to the number of pixels in the ROI area is obtained to obtain the quantitative pixel area ratio of the wear area, and the visual features formed by splicing the convolution features and the ratio can convert the qualitative degradation of the equipment appearance into quantitative and traceable feature indicators, even without historical failure data, early appearance degradation can be identified through the slight increase of the wear area ratio from 0.5% to 2%, avoiding relying on failure cases to judge the degradation degree; for infrared images, the infrared image is converted into temperature data based on the radiation calibration model of the infrared thermal imager, and the heat area with more than G continuous high-temperature pixels is further screened out, the ratio of the number of pixels in the heat area to the total number of pixels in the infrared image is obtained to obtain the heat area ratio, and the difference between the maximum temperature of the heat area and the average temperature of the non-heat area is calculated to obtain the temperature gradient, and the infrared features formed by splicing the two can capture the implicit thermal degradation of the equipment, which has existed temperature anomaly before failure, and early thermal degradation can be identified through signals such as heat area ratio expansion and temperature gradient increase without historical failure data. The visual features and infrared features cover the visible appearance degradation and implicit thermal degradation of the equipment respectively, and the visual information of the image is converted into quantitative and comparable feature indicators, and the image feature benchmark of the normal operation of the equipment is constructed, when early degradation occurs, the features will deviate from the benchmark, and the prediction model can extrapolate the subsequent degradation trajectory based on the feature deviation trend, without relying on historical failure data to learn failure patterns, effectively breaking through the limitations of existing technologies that cannot capture early degradation and are difficult to accurately extrapolate due to the lack of failure data.

[0122] The method for obtaining the physical derived features comprises:

[0123] By calculating the dynamic change rate of the degradation process physical constraint equation in the physical constraint equation, the dynamic features of degradation, i.e. wear rate, stiffness decay rate and aging acceleration factor, are extracted; the specific acquisition method comprises:

[0124] The wear rate is calculated according to the contact wear amount equation and the wear time:

[0125]

[0126] wherein, is the 24h wear amount change; is the wear time;

[0127] The stiffness attenuation rate is calculated according to the spring stiffness attenuation equation:

[0128]

[0129] The aging acceleration factor is calculated according to the winding insulation aging index equation:

[0130]

[0131] The wear rate, stiffness attenuation rate and aging acceleration factor are sequentially concatenated as a 3-dimensional feature vector to obtain a physically derived feature.

[0132] By deriving the physically derived feature based on the degradation process equation of the key physical quantity, the problem that the existing technology is difficult to accurately extrapolate and predict when lacking historical failure data can be solved to provide core physical mechanism level degradation dynamic support: for the switch cabinet contact, the wear rate is obtained by calculating the ratio of the wear amount change to the wear time within 24 hours according to the contact wear amount equation, which can directly quantify the degradation speed of the contact caused by electrical wear and mechanical wear, even without failure data, the early warning signal of the contact degradation acceleration can be accurately captured through the change of the wear rate, avoiding the limitation that the statistical features cannot distinguish between normal fluctuations and degradation trends; for the circuit breaker spring, the stiffness attenuation rate is calculated based on the spring stiffness attenuation equation, which can reflect the degree of stiffness loss caused by spring fatigue aging in real time, without referring to historical failure cases, the spring can be judged whether it enters the accelerated degradation stage through the change of the stiffness attenuation rate, ensuring that the extrapolation prediction conforms to the physical law of spring fatigue aging; for the transformer winding, the aging acceleration factor is derived by means of the winding insulation aging index equation, which can quantify the acceleration effect of temperature on winding insulation aging, even lacking insulation breakdown failure data, the future trend of insulation aging can be predicted through the change of the aging acceleration factor with temperature rise. The physically derived feature formed by concatenating the wear rate, stiffness attenuation rate and aging acceleration factor is essentially to convert the degradation mechanism of the core components of the equipment into quantifiable and traceable dynamic indicators, which can reflect the real process and speed of degradation without relying on historical failure data, providing a physical level degradation trend anchor for the prediction model, avoiding the deviation of the pure data-driven model from the real degradation direction due to overfitting of normal data when the failure sample is scarce, and at the same time making the model extrapolation prediction always follow the physical law of equipment degradation, effectively filling the gap of degradation trend judgment when lacking failure data, and providing indispensable physical mechanism support for accurately extrapolating the future degradation trajectory of the equipment.

[0133] The mixed feature is taken as the input of the physical information neural network to obtain the degradation trajectory prediction result, the health degree of the degradation trajectory prediction result is evaluated to obtain a health degree score, and corresponding warning is performed according to the health degree score.

[0134] The physical information neural network is constructed by a 2-layer LSTM, a Transformer encoder with 4 attention heads, and a spatiotemporal attention layer;

[0135] A data fitting loss is established based on the error between the actual degradation index and the predicted value. A physical constraint loss is established based on equation constraints and boundary constraints. The total loss function is calculated based on the data fitting loss and the physical constraint loss. The Adam optimizer is used to optimize the physical information neural network, and the one with the minimum total loss function is used as the training output physical information neural network. For example, the data fitting loss is as follows:

[0136] ,

[0137] The physical constraint loss is established based on the equation constraint loss and the boundary constraint loss, where the equation constraint loss is:

[0138]

[0139] The boundary constraint loss is:

[0140]

[0141] In summary, the physical constraint loss is:

[0142]

[0143] The total loss function is:

[0144]

[0145] in, To predict the step size; This represents the number of training samples; This is a true indicator of degradation. The results are for predicting the degradation trajectory; For the first training samples Predicted value of contact wear at any given moment; For the first training samples Predicted current value at any given time; For the first training samples Predicted value of contact resistance at any time; For the first Predicted cumulative number of opening and closing times for each training sample at time t'; The balance coefficient can be obtained through historical data statistics.

[0146] Methods to obtain a health score include:

[0147] quantifying the degradation trajectory prediction result based on a segmentation function constructed according to the degradation index normal threshold and the degradation index fault threshold, to obtain a health score; for example the health score at the time t wherein, is the degradation index normal threshold; is the degradation index fault threshold; is the degradation index fault threshold; the degradation trajectory prediction result at the time t;

[0148] When the health score is lower than a score threshold, a health warning is triggered, and when the health score change rate is higher than a change rate threshold, a trend warning is triggered.

[0149] By inputting the mixed features into a physical information neural network built by a 2-layer LSTM, a Transformer encoder containing 4 attention heads, and a space-time attention layer, optimizing the model by combining a specific loss function, and outputting the degradation trajectory prediction result, and then quantifying the health score by a segmentation function and triggering the corresponding warning, the problem that the prior art cannot accurately extrapolate the prediction when lacking historical failure data can be effectively solved: on the one hand, the neural network architecture does not need to rely on historical failure data to learn the failure feature pattern, but can accurately mine the potential rules related to degradation in the data by means of the time series processing capability of LSTM and Transformer and the focusing capability of space-time attention, only by using existing normal operation data or a small amount of slightly deteriorated data; on the other hand, in the loss function design, the data fitting loss ensures that the prediction result fits the existing monitoring data, while the physical constraint loss constructed based on equation constraints and boundary constraints can force the prediction result to follow the physical mechanism of device degradation, avoiding the extrapolation deviation that violates the physical law caused by overfitting of normal data when there is no failure data, and the introduction of the balance coefficient further optimizes the adaptability of data fitting and physical law through historical data statistics; at the same time, the health score is calculated by a segmentation function based on the degradation index normal threshold and the fault threshold, which can realize quantitative evaluation without relying on health data of historical failure cases, and the health warning triggered based on the health score being lower than the threshold and the trend warning triggered based on the score change rate being higher than the threshold can also capture the dynamic trend of device degradation in time when lacking failure history, ensuring that the extrapolation prediction is not only accurate but also can be converted into a health state evaluation and warning signal with actual operation and maintenance guiding significance, which overall breaks through the limitations of the prior art that cannot guarantee the reasonableness of extrapolation prediction and cannot effectively evaluate the health state due to the lack of historical failure data, and realizes accurate prediction and operation and maintenance warning of the degradation trajectory of the device in the no-failure-data scenario.
