[0033] Figure 2 This is a system architecture diagram of a fault troubleshooting system for a power dispatch automation system according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0034] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0035] Please see the appendix Figure 1 This invention provides a fault troubleshooting method for a power dispatch automation system, comprising the following steps:
[0036] Real-time monitoring of power equipment operation and collection of operational data;
[0037] Based on operational data, identify state variables and decision variables in the power system, and integrate the state variables and decision variables into a structured state vector;
[0038] Based on state vectors, graph theory methods are used to perform topology modeling of power networks;
[0039] Using a topological model, analyze system state changes, formulate state transition rules, and construct a state transition model;
[0040] Based on the state transition model, the overall objective function is defined by integrating the state variables and decision variables of each device.
[0041] Based on state variables, decision variables, topology model, and objective function, a fault recovery scheme is determined and its effectiveness is evaluated.
[0042] Specifically, firstly, real-time monitoring and collection of key parameters of power equipment are performed, including real-time current values reflecting the load status of the power equipment. Voltage level of power equipment operation The frequency of the power system Temperature of electrical equipment operation Next, data analysis tools are used to process the collected data. By analyzing historical operating patterns, state variables and decision variables in the power system are identified. The state variables mainly include the current operating state of the power equipment. For example, normal or faulty conditions, load status. The health status of equipment is assessed by factors such as temperature and historical fault records. Decision variables include resource allocation Load adjustment Equipment scheduling These variables are integrated into a structured state vector, represented as:
[0043] ;
[0044] Subsequently, graph theory methods are used to perform topological modeling of the power network, constructing an adjacency matrix A to represent the connection relationships between devices. This matrix is used for efficient analysis of the network structure, helping to identify key devices and their connection states. Based on this, the topological model is used to analyze the state changes of the power system, and state transition rules reflecting device state changes under different fault modes are formulated. These rules are used to establish a state transition probability model to predict the current state. Next state The transition probability is expressed as:
[0045] ;
[0046] in, Representing the previously defined structured state vector, reflecting the current operating status of the device, after obtaining the state transition model, and integrating the state variables and decision variables of each device, the overall objective function is defined as follows:
[0047] ;
[0048] in, This indicates the system's operating efficiency and reflects the equipment's performance. This indicates the fault response time, aiming to minimize the recovery time after equipment failure. The operating cost is represented to ensure the economic effectiveness of the solution. By optimizing this objective function, the efficiency and feasibility of the solution are ensured. Next, after clarifying the state variables, decision variables, topology model, and objective function, a detailed fault recovery plan is formulated. This includes reasonable resource allocation (R), load adjustment (D), and equipment scheduling (S) strategies. During implementation, the system's state changes will be monitored in real time to ensure the effectiveness of adjustment measures. Finally, the effect of fault recovery is evaluated by monitoring the system operation data and recovery efficiency after each recovery and generating feedback reports. These reports will analyze recovery time, system stability, and fault occurrence frequency to guide subsequent fault management and improvement measures through this series of steps.
[0049] The collected data includes the operating status, load, historical fault records, and maintenance logs of each device at different time periods.
[0050] Specifically, by collecting operational data, including the operating status, load, historical fault records, and maintenance logs of each device at different time periods, comprehensive and detailed data analysis of this data enables the monitoring and management of the entire power system to promptly identify potential faults, optimize equipment maintenance plans, improve system reliability and security, ensure that every link is properly monitored, and help achieve the efficient operation of the power dispatch automation system.
[0051] When identifying state variables in a power system, the health status, load capacity, and fault prediction indicators of equipment are determined by analyzing historical operating modes and fault records.
[0052] Specifically, firstly, a comprehensive database is established to summarize and organize historical operating data for each device, including parameters such as current (I), voltage (U), frequency (f), and temperature (T). Once these parameters are available, the operating characteristics of the device over different time periods can be plotted. During use, this data is updated periodically, and each historical record provides a fundamental basis for fault analysis. Data mining techniques are used to analyze the device's health status (H), which is derived by comparing real-time and historical data. For example, if the current temperature (T) is within a safe range, but historical records show multiple failures under similar conditions, this indicates a potential problem with the device. By comparing data, a logical judgment is formed. To better understand the device's load capacity (L), a formula is used.
[0053] ;
[0054] High-frequency monitoring enables real-time acquisition of load capacity. The Fault Prediction Index (FPI) is based on historical fault records (HFR) and reflects the potential failure risk of the equipment. It is calculated using the following formula:
[0055] ;
[0056] Through data modeling, we can predict the likelihood of future equipment failures and take corresponding measures in advance. Finally, all these state variables are integrated into a state vector, represented as...
[0057] ;
[0058] This integration enables the system to comprehensively reflect the health status of equipment, while also aiding in fault prediction and decision-making. This improves the accuracy of fault diagnosis, optimizes operational and maintenance decisions, effectively shortens equipment failure response time, and reduces maintenance costs.
[0059] The structured state vector consists of the identifier of the state variable, the device type, the current operating mode, and the load demand information.
[0060] Specifically, this state vector consists of multiple elements, including identifiers of state variables, equipment type, current operating mode, and load demand information. First, this structured state vector is constructed to comprehensively reflect various important indicators of the equipment. This vector will contain identifiers of state variables, equipment type, current operating mode, and load demand. This integration of information provides an important data foundation for fault monitoring and decision-making. The state variable identifier is used to uniquely identify the state of each piece of equipment. This identification ensures that the state of each piece of equipment in the system can be accurately tracked and recorded. The equipment type indicates the category of the equipment; for example, generators, transformers, and other types of equipment have their own classifications. Different equipment types will have different operating parameters, so they are listed separately in the vector to facilitate subsequent analysis. The current operating mode refers to the operating state of the equipment at the current moment. Possible modes include normal, warning, and fault. Understanding the current mode of the equipment allows for real-time monitoring of equipment operation and the identification of potential risks. In addition, load demand represents the power required by the equipment. Using this structured state vector, the monitoring system can quickly respond to different operating states. When the equipment is in a warning or fault state, the relevant team can intervene in a timely manner to prevent more serious faults from occurring.
[0061] Topology modeling uses an adjacency matrix from graph theory to represent power equipment and the connections between them.
[0062] Specifically, first, a graph model of the power system is constructed. Each power device is considered a node in the graph, and the connections between devices are considered edges. These connections can be unidirectional, such as from a generator to a substation, or bidirectional, such as the connection between a substation and a user. When designing the adjacency matrix, a square matrix is constructed based on the number of devices. In this matrix, the values of the matrix elements represent the connection status of the devices. The adjacency matrix is represented as follows:
[0063] ;
[0064] If there is a connection between device i and device j, then the corresponding matrix elements The value is 1 if there is no connection, and 0 if there is no connection. This allows the topology of the power network to be represented intuitively in the matrix. With the help of the adjacency matrix in graph theory, the connection relationship of power equipment can be clearly depicted, which improves the visualization of the power system and enhances the efficiency of information transmission.
[0065] When formulating state transition rules, a state transition probability model is constructed by combining the changes in equipment state under different fault modes.
[0066] Specifically, based on the operating status, load conditions, fault type, and time of fault occurrence of power equipment, the changes in equipment state under different fault modes are analyzed. For example, when the equipment is in a normal state, it may transition to a warning state or a fault state. In a fault state, the equipment may transition to a maintenance state. For state changes, a state transition diagram is constructed to describe the transition relationships between equipment. The state transition probability model can be expressed as follows:
[0067] ;
[0068] in Indicates starting from the current state Transition to the next state The probability of a device transitioning between different states can be represented by establishing a state transition probability matrix. For example, suppose the state transition of a certain power device can be represented by the following transition matrix. express
[0069] ;
[0070] in, Indicates from state Transition to state The probability is calculated based on historical fault records and actual equipment operating data. It can reflect the real state changes of the equipment under different fault modes. The system can monitor the state changes of the equipment in real time and make corresponding decisions. When the equipment state changes, this model can be used to quickly assess the fault risk and formulate maintenance and scheduling plans in advance.
[0071] The fault recovery plan includes resource allocation, load adjustment, and equipment scheduling. Specific operational steps include equipment restart, load redistribution, and system status monitoring.
[0072] Specifically, upon receiving a fault alarm, the system assesses the current resource status to determine how to allocate resources. After resource allocation is complete, the next step is to adjust the load. The load allocation formula can be expressed as follows:
[0073] ;
[0074] in This is the new load value. It is the original load. This involves redistributing load increments to ensure the power system doesn't become overloaded due to equipment failures, thus preventing new faults. Subsequent power equipment scheduling includes deciding which equipment needs to be restarted and which needs to be temporarily shut down. When equipment is restarted, the system first performs a status check to ensure it's in good condition before putting it back into use. Based on the status monitoring results, the system determines which equipment to restart, using the following status check formula to evaluate the equipment.
[0075] ;
[0076] R represents the decision to restart the device, H is the health status of the device, and U is the real-time load status of the device. Restarting can only be performed when the health status and load status of the device are within safe limits. Based on the current network operating characteristics and newly allocated resources, the system will update the load allocation in real time. By monitoring the operating status, load status, and fault records of power equipment in real time, the system ensures that it remains under control during the recovery process. Through a series of steps such as resource allocation, load adjustment, and equipment scheduling, the normal operation of the power system can be effectively restored. With the help of real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment, the ability of the power system to cope with sudden failures is improved, providing strong support for ensuring power supply and system security.
[0077] While implementing the fault recovery plan, the system status changes are monitored in real time, including load, voltage and frequency indicators, and the recovery strategy is automatically adjusted according to the pre-set thresholds.
[0078] Specifically, the system needs to establish a real-time monitoring mechanism, covering load (L), voltage (U), and frequency (f). These indicators provide a comprehensive view of the equipment status, helping administrators make timely decisions. Real-time monitoring data can be expressed using the following formula.
[0079] ;
[0080] in, Represents the moment This involves a collection of monitoring data, which needs to be continuously updated to enable the system to analyze data in real time. Each monitoring indicator has a corresponding safety threshold, such as the maximum load threshold. Minimum voltage threshold Maximum frequency threshold When a certain indicator exceeds its set threshold, the system will activate an automatic adjustment mechanism to implement an adjustment strategy. The adjustment strategy can be expressed through the following rules:
[0081]
[0082] in, This indicates an adjustment to the strategy. It is based on the monitoring data set and preset thresholds. The calculated adjustment function, if the monitored load Exceed The system will automatically reduce the load or adjust the operating status of the power supply equipment. Once the monitoring data triggers an alert, the system will quickly adjust the recovery strategy according to the severity of the assessment.
[0083] (1) Strengthen power distribution and give priority to ensuring the power needs of important users;
[0084] (2) Reconfigure the load and transfer part of the load to the standby equipment;
[0085] (3) If the voltage drops to If this happens, an alarm must be issued immediately and measures must be taken quickly to increase the voltage.
[0086] Through timely monitoring and adjustments, the power system can not only react quickly when a fault occurs, but also prioritize the safety of critical loads, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the power system.
[0087] During the evaluation, the system operation data and recovery efficiency after each fault recovery are analyzed, and a feedback report is generated.
[0088] Specifically, after each fault recovery, the system needs to collect relevant operational data, including recovery time, load before and after recovery, voltage, and frequency. The recovery efficiency can be calculated using the following formula.
[0089] ;
[0090] in, This is the scheduled recovery time after the fault occurs. This refers to the actual time taken for recovery. In addition to recovery efficiency, the system also needs to monitor and record various key operational data, including the load, voltage, and frequency after recovery. All collected data will be integrated into a feedback report, which will detail the following information:
[0091] (1) The causes of each failure and the recovery measures;
[0092] (2) Operational data after each fault recovery, including the changing trends of parameters such as load, voltage, and frequency;
[0093] (3) The results of the recovery efficiency assessment and its comparison with historical data;
[0094] At the same time, the system will compare the efficiency of different fault recovery schemes and find the best practices. For example, if a certain recovery scheme performs well in multiple faults, the system will recommend that the scheme be given priority in the future. This data-based decision-making mechanism can continuously promote the optimization of the system and ensure the stable operation of the power system.
