Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of hydropower unit monitoring technology, and more specifically, to a method and system for predicting the state of hydropower units based on high-frequency component smoothing sampling. Background Technology
[0002] As the core equipment of a hydropower station, the operating status of the hydropower unit directly affects the safety, stability, and power generation efficiency of the entire hydropower station.
[0003] In existing technologies, most methods for monitoring the condition of hydropower units rely on fixed-period data collection and manual judgment, which has at least three shortcomings. First, it suffers from poor timeliness; traditional sampling strategies fail to fully extract information from critical time periods, potentially missing early signs of faults. Second, it has low information density; conventional sampling frequencies may not effectively capture high-frequency variations in the data, leading to inaccurate judgments of condition trends. Third, it has weak predictive ability; existing models are mostly based on mean trend analysis, ignoring non-stationary characteristics during operation.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new state prediction method that combines high-frequency characteristics of operational data and has adaptive resolution capabilities to improve the intelligence and precision of hydropower unit operation and management. Summary of the Invention

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, this method addresses the problem of high-frequency components in the vibration signal of hydropower units affecting prediction accuracy. First, it uses a fixed-value cyclic search to optimize key parameters in the time-varying filter empirical mode decomposition (TVF-EMD) to perform multi-scale decomposition of the vibration signal. Then, it introduces B-spline curves for smoothing the high-frequency components and performs interval sampling to enhance the effectiveness of training samples. Finally, the processed sub-signals are input into a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network for training and prediction. Experiments show that this method can more effectively capture state evolution characteristics and significantly improve prediction accuracy compared to traditional methods. It effectively overcomes the shortcomings of existing hydropower unit state monitoring methods, such as poor timeliness, low information density, and weak prediction capabilities.

[0031] This invention provides a method for predicting the state of hydropower units based on high-frequency component smoothing sampling.
[0032] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A hydropower unit state prediction method based on high-frequency component smoothing sampling includes the following steps: S1: Obtain the vibration signal x(t) of the target hydropower unit.
[0033] It should be understood that after obtaining the vibration signal x(t), it needs to be preprocessed. The preprocessing process is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0034] S2: Based on the fixed-value cyclic search method, the hyperparameters (bandwidth parameter n and center frequency) in TVF-EMD (Time-Varying Filtered Empirical Mode Decomposition) are analyzed. ) to perform optimization.
[0035] refer to Figure 3 First, initialize the bandwidth parameter n and the center frequency. To make the bandwidth parameter n=3, the center frequency =0.1; then set the bandwidth parameter n and the center frequency... The process involves updating the parameters; then decomposing and calculating the average discrete entropy; subsequently determining whether the loop termination condition has been met; finally, the optimal hyperparameter bandwidth parameter n and center frequency are output. Combination, where bandwidth parameter n=14, center frequency =0.3.
[0036] The discrete entropy values of the decomposition results before and after hyperparameter optimization are shown in Table 1 below: Table 1
[0037] As shown in Table 1, after optimizing the hyperparameters in TVF-EMD, the average discrete entropy of the signal components decreased, which confirms that hyperparameter optimization can effectively reduce the complexity of the decomposed signal components and improve the energy concentration and demixing accuracy of the signal components.
[0038] Initialize the bandwidth parameter n=3 and the center frequency When = 0.1, the TVF-EMD decomposition results of the oscillation signal are as follows: Figure 4 As shown. The optimal output hyperparameter bandwidth parameter n=14 and center frequency... After the value is 0.3, the TVF-EMD decomposition results of the oscillation signal are as follows: Figure 5 As shown.
[0039] S3: The vibration signal x(t) is decomposed using the optimized TVF-EMD to obtain a set of multiple high-frequency signal components. eigenmode functions .
[0040] The optimized TVF-EMD decomposition of the vibration signal x(t) is the ambiguity minimization index. ,in Entropy represents the true signal and is used to measure the purity of a component.
[0041] S4: For high-frequency signal components Perform cubic B-spline fitting and smoothing to obtain the smoothed signal. .
[0042] B-spline functions employ cubic non-uniform node interpolation, and their basis functions are defined as follows: ; in, Represents second-order spline basis functions. Represents the node sequence.
[0043] S5: For smoothed signals Sparse sampling at fixed intervals Δt yields a signal sequence. .
[0044] Fixed interval Determined based on the sampling frequency fs and the target frequency band bandwidth, satisfying the Nyquist criterion: ; in, This represents the high-frequency limit of the target signal.
[0045] S6: Input the sub-signals into the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network model for training and state prediction, and sum them to obtain the final prediction result; the sub-signals include intrinsic mode functions. With signal sequence .
[0046] The LSTM model consists of an input layer, two hidden state units, and an output layer. Its activation function is tanh, and its loss function is mean squared error. ; Sub-signals are divided into low-frequency trend signals. With high-frequency disturbance signals Both are used in training to preserve the full picture of state changes. The sub-signals are divided into training and test sets for training and state prediction, with a ratio of 7:3, and a rolling time window mechanism is used to improve generalization ability.
[0047] The prediction results of the training set and the test set on the LSTM model are as follows: Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown. By Figure 6 and Figure 7 It can be seen that when the data without smooth sampling is input into the LSTM model, the LSTM model performs slightly better on the training set than on the data with smooth sampling. However, the performance on the test set is exactly the opposite. This indicates that the data without smooth sampling leads to overfitting of the LSTM model. This proves that after smooth sampling, the data can meet the needs of the LSTM model to learn the general laws of the data and can effectively avoid the occurrence of overfitting of the LSTM model.
[0048] Table 2 below shows the MMAE, MMAPE, and RRMSE of the LSTM model before and after smoothing sampling of high-frequency signal components on the training and test sets: Table 2
[0049] Compared with single prediction methods, before smoothing sampling, the prediction results of the training set are better than those of the test set. The MMAE of the test set is 44.2% lower, MMAPE is 59.7% lower, and RRMSE is 39.8% lower than that of the training set, indicating that the model has overfitted. After smoothing, the prediction indicators of the training set and the test set are similar, indicating that the LSTM model learns the data well.
[0050] Comparing different prediction methods, the test results of the test set after smoothing are better than those without smoothing. Specifically, MMAE is reduced by 34.3%, MMAPE by 34.3%, and RRMSE by 37.5%, proving that the proposed high-frequency signal component smoothing sampling can effectively improve the accuracy of predicting the state trend of hydropower units and enriches the method of predicting the state trend of hydropower units through oscillation data.
[0051] Furthermore, this hydropower unit state prediction method based on high-frequency component smoothing sampling is applicable to state trend prediction scenarios for various types of hydropower units, including through-flow, mixed-flow, axial-flow, and pumped-storage types.
[0052] Furthermore, the final prediction result can be determined by setting a threshold value. This enables early warning and alarm functions for operational risks. Specifically, if... If so, an alarm will be triggered.
