Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of generator set, and particularly relates to a generator set defect detection method based on deep learning. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of generator set state monitoring and fault diagnosis, traditional methods mainly rely on single sensor data or simple threshold alarm mechanism to realize defect recognition. Such methods are difficult to effectively process multi-source heterogeneous data generated in the operation process of the unit, including high-frequency vibration signals, acoustic spectrum, thermal imaging and electrical parameters and various modal information. The existing technology lacks robustness to noise interference and baseline drift, the feature extraction process relies on artificial experience and has limited discriminability, which makes it difficult to accurately capture complex defects early. At the same time, the common mode is usually designed for a specific working condition, and the generalization ability is significantly reduced under variable load, aging equipment and complex environmental interference. The detection result is often lagging and has a high false positive rate, which cannot meet the strict requirements of modern power systems on unit reliability and predictive maintenance.

[0003] Although the current deep learning-based solution has made progress in some scenarios, it still faces the key contradiction between model complexity and edge deployment capability. The existing neural network architecture has a heavy computational burden when processing multi-modal heterogeneous data fusion, and it is difficult to achieve real-time response on resource-constrained industrial edge devices. At the same time, the model training process lacks systematic control over the diversity of field conditions and the quality of data labeling, and is prone to overfitting due to sample imbalance. The traditional deployment mode relies on cloud computing, which has data transmission delay and network reliability risk, and cannot guarantee the timeliness of defect judgment. In addition, the system lacks a closed-loop feedback mechanism, and the model cannot dynamically evolve with device aging, operation feedback and new fault modes. A systematic solution that integrates high-precision multi-source perception, lightweight cross-modal modeling, edge real-time inference and continuous self-optimization is urgently needed to break through the technical bottleneck of generator set intelligent diagnosis; therefore we propose a generator set defect detection method based on deep learning to solve this problem.
