Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydropower plant operation monitoring technology, and in particular to a method and system for implementing intelligent monitoring panels in hydropower plants. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of hydropower plant operation monitoring, monitoring panels are a crucial means of ensuring the safe, reliable, and stable operation of power plants and have always been highly valued by the industry. Traditional monitoring methods mainly rely on on-duty personnel to conduct real-time monitoring, data analysis, operational adjustments, and accident handling of power plant equipment, facilities, and systems through control room feedback screens, monitoring systems, and online monitoring devices. However, this method has revealed many problems in practical applications, affecting the efficiency and accuracy of monitoring panels.
[0003] Currently, several technologies are attempting to improve the intelligence level of hydropower plant monitoring. For example, CN118260542A proposes an intelligent monitoring system and method, which includes a data acquisition module, a model building module, and an operation guidance module. The data acquisition module acquires historical and real-time operating data of industrial production equipment and performs preprocessing; the model building module constructs a neural network model and obtains a fault diagnosis model through training on historical data; the operation guidance module provides real-time guidance based on real-time operating data and the fault diagnosis model. Furthermore, CN119472357A proposes an unmanned intelligent monitoring system and method for power plants, which collects and processes real-time relevant data from power plant pipelines to construct pipeline early warning rules, thereby achieving unmanned intelligent monitoring.
[0004] Although the above technologies have improved the intelligence level of hydropower plant monitoring systems to some extent, the following main problems still exist: 1. Insufficient Multimodal Data Fusion: Existing technologies often focus on the analysis of single-type data (such as mechanical data only or electrical data only), failing to fully consider the coupling and correlation between multimodal data such as mechanical, thermal, and electrical data. This single-modal analysis method is prone to false alarms or false negatives, and cannot comprehensively and accurately reflect the equipment status. For example, CN118260542A and CN119472357A do not mention the fusion analysis of multimodal data, which may lead to misjudgment of complex equipment faults.
[0005] 2. Lack of Coupling Analysis: Equipment failures are often not caused by a single factor, but rather the result of the interaction of multiple factors. However, most existing technologies lack in-depth analysis of the coupling between multimodal data, making it impossible to accurately identify complex failure modes. For example, abnormal mechanical vibration may be closely related to changes in electrical parameters, but existing technologies often fail to reveal this correlation.
[0006] 3. Inadequate alarm suppression and closed-loop handling mechanisms: Traditional monitoring methods generate numerous alarm messages when equipment malfunctions, but lack effective suppression measures and closed-loop handling methods, resulting in low monitoring efficiency and high reliance on manual experience. Although existing technologies have proposed some intelligent monitoring methods, they still fall short in terms of alarm suppression strategies and closed-loop handling mechanisms.
[0007] 4. The Balance Between Real-Time Performance and Accuracy: Hydropower plant equipment status changes rapidly, requiring monitoring systems to possess a high degree of real-time performance. However, existing technologies often sacrifice real-time performance in pursuit of high accuracy, resulting in delayed responses to equipment anomalies. How to improve real-time performance while ensuring accuracy is a pressing issue that current technologies need to address.
[0008] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes a method and system for implementing intelligent monitoring in hydropower plants. The aim is to comprehensively analyze multimodal data, including mechanical, thermal, and electrical data, to reveal the coupling and correlation between these data, thereby improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of intelligent monitoring. Simultaneously, it aims to improve alarm suppression and closed-loop handling mechanisms, enabling real-time and accurate monitoring and early warning of hydropower plant equipment status. Summary of the Invention
[0009] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to provide a method and system for implementing intelligent monitoring in hydropower plants, addressing the issues of low efficiency and insufficient accuracy in the monitoring process. Traditional monitoring methods rely on manual review of monitoring pages and trend analysis, making it difficult to promptly detect abnormal equipment states before fixed threshold alarms. Furthermore, in the event of equipment failure, the sheer volume of information lacks effective suppression measures and closed-loop handling procedures, resulting in low monitoring efficiency and a high dependence on human experience. To overcome these limitations, this invention proposes a method and system for implementing intelligent monitoring in hydropower plants, which improves the level of intelligence in monitoring by integrating multimodal data analysis and intelligent recognition technologies.
[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts a comprehensive technical solution, namely, a method and system for implementing intelligent monitoring panels in hydropower plants.
[0011] The specific steps for implementing intelligent monitoring panels in hydropower plants are as follows: 1. Multimodal data acquisition and preprocessing: The data acquisition module acquires real-time mechanical data (such as vibration signal data of turbine runner and main shaft), thermal data (such as thermal images of generator stator and rotor windings), and electrical data (such as insulation status data and operating parameter data of generator stator windings and main transformer). The collected multimodal data undergoes standardized preprocessing, including noise reduction, smoothing, pixel value conversion, and Z-Score standardization, to ensure data quality and consistency.
[0012] 2. Construction and operation of a specialized anomaly identification model: A first mechanical data anomaly identification model is constructed, and mechanical anomaly features are extracted using wavelet packet decomposition, LSTM algorithm and other techniques, and the mechanical anomaly feature matrix and anomaly coefficients are output; A second thermal anomaly identification model is constructed, and CNN is used to extract and analyze features from thermal images, outputting thermal anomaly feature matrix and anomaly coefficients; A third electrical anomaly identification model is constructed. Electrical data is processed through machine learning algorithms to identify electrical anomaly characteristics and output electrical anomaly feature matrix and anomaly coefficients.
[0013] 3. Coupling anomaly identification and global anomaly assessment: A fourth coupling anomaly identification model is constructed to comprehensively analyze the coupling relationship between mechanical, thermal and electrical anomaly features, calculate the coupling coefficients of binary and ternary anomaly features, and comprehensively evaluate the equipment status. Based on the anomaly coefficients output by each specific model and the coupled model, the global anomaly coefficient is calculated, and an alarm confidence assessment system is constructed.
[0014] 4. Alarm Suppression and Task Issuance: Based on the global anomaly coefficient and alarm confidence level, a three-level alarm suppression strategy is implemented to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of alarm information; Send AR augmented reality images to monitoring personnel to intuitively display equipment status and abnormal information, facilitating rapid decision-making; It supports task publishing, automatically or manually sending repair notifications to staff to achieve closed-loop management of fault handling.
[0015] To implement the intelligent monitoring method for hydropower plants, this invention also provides an intelligent monitoring system for hydropower plants. This system integrates the various modules and functions described in the above-mentioned implementation method, specifically including: 1. Data Acquisition Module: Responsible for real-time acquisition of mechanical, thermal, and electrical data from the hydropower plant, and performing preliminary processing; 2. Specialized Anomaly Identification Module: Includes a first mechanical data anomaly identification model, a second thermal anomaly identification model, and a third electrical anomaly identification model, which are used to extract and analyze mechanical, thermal, and electrical anomaly features, respectively; 3. Coupling Anomaly Identification Module: Also known as the fourth coupling anomaly identification model, it is used to analyze the coupling relationship between various specific anomaly features and output the coupling anomaly coefficient; 4. Global Anomaly Assessment and Alarm Module: Based on the anomaly coefficients output by each specialized model and the coupled model, calculate the global anomaly coefficient, construct an alarm confidence assessment system, and implement a three-level alarm suppression strategy. 5. AR Image Push and Task Release Module: Responsible for sending AR augmented reality images to monitoring personnel, displaying equipment status and abnormal information, and supporting task release function to achieve closed-loop management of fault handling.
[0016] The intelligent monitoring method and system for hydropower plants of the present invention significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of monitoring in hydropower plants by integrating multimodal data analysis and intelligent recognition technologies, reduces false alarms and missed alarms, and reduces reliance on human experience, thus providing strong support for the intelligent development of the hydropower industry.
[0017] The intelligent monitoring system for hydropower plants provided by this invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention breaks through the limitation of a single data source in traditional systems, and for the first time realizes the synchronous acquisition and joint analysis of mechanical, thermal and electrical three-modal data, filling the gap in cross-modal correlation analysis technology; it reveals the coupling correlation between multimodal data, solves the problem of traditional methods ignoring the intrinsic relationship between data, overcomes the technical limitation of existing technologies that do not consider the interaction between mechanical vibration and thermal expansion, electrical discharge and insulation aging, making it difficult to accurately identify multi-factor coupled faults, and successfully solves the technical problem of traditional systems relying only on a single type of data (such as only vibration or temperature), resulting in a high rate of missed detection of early equipment anomalies and a low rate of identification of composite faults.
[0018] 2. This invention is the first to propose a three-level alarm strategy based on a global anomaly coefficient. Combined with the alarm confidence level, the handling method is dynamically adjusted to effectively suppress false alarms and ensure that high-risk anomalies are triggered in a timely manner. This solves the problem in the existing technology where fixed threshold alarms cause an "alarm storm" (more than 100 false alarms per day) and the high rate of missed alarms for high-risk anomalies, which seriously threatens equipment safety.
[0019] 3. This invention is the first in the industry to apply AR technology to the monitoring scenario of hydropower plants. By overlaying equipment status parameters in real time through a three-dimensional visualization interface, it improves the efficiency of anomaly location and overcomes the limitation of traditional two-dimensional monitoring interfaces that cannot intuitively present key parameters such as equipment thermal distribution and vibration spectrum, resulting in excessively long fault diagnosis time.
[0020] 4. This invention effectively obtains various anomaly feature matrices and anomaly coefficients by using multimodal data fusion and coupling analysis, and by constructing a first mechanical data anomaly identification model, a second thermal anomaly identification model, a third electrical anomaly identification model, and a fourth coupled anomaly identification model. Based on these coefficients, a global anomaly coefficient is obtained, which avoids the problem of limited accuracy in intelligent monitoring anomaly analysis of hydropower plants due to single-modal data, and comprehensively improves the comprehensiveness and accuracy of intelligent monitoring anomaly analysis.
[0021] 5. After the implementation of this invention, the early fault identification rate is significantly improved compared with the industry average, and key indicators such as mechanical vibration prediction accuracy and insulation aging early warning lead time reach the industry leading level.
[0022] 6. The implementation of this invention significantly reduces the false alarm rate, ensures that 100% of high-risk anomalies trigger audible and visual alarms, and significantly reduces the annual misoperation rate, effectively solving the problem of the coexistence of "alarm storms" and missed alarms.
[0023] 7. The system designed in this invention improves monitoring efficiency, significantly shortens fault location time, reduces annual maintenance costs per unit, and yields significant economic benefits.
[0024] 8. This invention provides strong support for the maintenance and management of hydropower plant equipment through real-time monitoring and data analysis, which helps to extend the service life of equipment and reduce operation and maintenance costs.
[0025] 9. The implementation of this invention has formed a complete technical chain of "data fusion - feature extraction - coupling analysis - risk quantification - AR presentation", setting a new standard for intelligent monitoring in the hydropower industry.
[0026] 10. Through theoretical derivation and thorough verification by practical application cases, it is shown that the present invention has significant technical advantages and broad application prospects in the field of hydropower plant operation monitoring. Attached Figure Description

The data standardization in the preprocessing layer ensures that the model has consistent sensitivity to data of different magnitudes, while the anomaly feature extraction and analysis layer uses deep learning algorithms to deeply mine potential anomaly patterns in the data, providing strong support for mechanical fault early warning.
[0094] In the preferred embodiment, the first mechanical anomaly features include the high-frequency energy proportion of the runner and main shaft, the main shaft swing residual, the pressure pulsation cross-correlation coefficient, and the standard deviation of the guide vane opening fluctuation. The high-frequency energy proportion of the runner and main shaft is obtained by extracting the high-frequency energy proportion of the runner and main shaft vibration signal data through wavelet packet decomposition. The main shaft swing residual is obtained by analyzing the vibration amplitude of the main shaft swing signal data using the LSTM algorithm, predicting the vibration amplitude for the next hour, and combining it with the actual vibration amplitude sequence. The pressure pulsation cross-correlation coefficient is obtained by bandpass filtering the pressure pulsation signal data of the runner and tailrace pipe, and obtaining the Person correlation coefficient through 1-second window sampling. The standard deviation of the guide vane opening fluctuation is measured by statistically analyzing the standard deviation of the guide vane opening signal data to measure its fluctuation degree.

The Z-Score algorithm improves the consistency and comparability of the data, and the introduction of the machine learning algorithm enhances the model's ability to capture complex anomaly features, providing a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the electrical system.
[0098] In the preferred embodiment, the third electrical anomaly characteristic includes the stator winding partial discharge intensity index, transformer partial discharge energy accumulation rate, GIS partial discharge frequency anomaly degree, insulation resistance comprehensive attenuation rate, and current anomaly degree. These are calculated using corresponding formulas based on parameters such as the partial discharge pulse amplitude-time function, transformer partial discharge energy, partial discharge frequency, insulation resistance value, current harmonic distortion rate, and excitation current fluctuation rate. This configuration effectively monitors key anomaly indicators of electrical equipment, improving the accuracy and timeliness of fault warnings. Real-time data analysis allows for the timely detection of potential problems, providing a scientific basis for operation and maintenance decisions and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power system.
[0099] In the preferred embodiment, the fourth coupling anomaly identification model in step 2 includes an input layer, a coupling anomaly feature extraction layer, a coupling anomaly feature analysis layer, and an output layer. The input layer inputs the first mechanical, second thermal, and third electrical anomaly feature matrices. The coupling anomaly feature extraction layer obtains binary (mechanical-thermal, mechanical-electrical, and thermal-electrical anomaly coupling coefficients) and ternary (mechanical-thermal-electrical anomaly coupling coefficients) anomaly feature coupling coefficients. The coupling anomaly feature analysis layer obtains the fourth coupling anomaly coefficient. The output layer outputs the fourth coupling anomaly coefficient. This configuration effectively improves the accuracy and efficiency of anomaly identification. Through multi-level feature coupling analysis, it can accurately capture complex anomaly correlations between mechanical, thermal, and electrical systems, providing strong data support for fault early warning and diagnosis.
[0100] In the preferred embodiment, the binary and ternary anomaly feature coupling coefficients are calculated using corresponding formulas based on the Person correlation function of the first mechanical, second thermal, and third electrical anomaly feature matrices and the mean value of each matrix feature; the fourth coupling anomaly coefficient is calculated based on the weighting coefficients of the binary and ternary anomaly feature coupling coefficients. The above settings aim to improve the accuracy and efficiency of fault diagnosis. By comprehensively considering the multi-dimensional anomaly features of mechanical, thermal, and electrical systems, combining the analysis of the correlation between features using the Person correlation function, and optimizing the coupling anomaly coefficients using weighting coefficients, accurate identification of fault modes can be achieved.
[0101] In the preferred embodiment, the three-level alarm suppression strategy in step 4 includes first-level suppression (automatic suppression of low-confidence alarms), second-level suppression (medium-confidence alarms are pushed to the monitoring interface and marked "pending confirmation"), and third-level suppression (high-confidence alarms trigger audible and visual alarms). These settings ensure effective hierarchical management of alarm information, reduce false alarm interference, and improve the response efficiency of maintenance personnel. Specifically, low-confidence alarms are automatically filtered, medium-confidence alarms require manual verification, and high-confidence alarms immediately attract attention, ensuring that emergency situations are handled rapidly.
[0102] In summary, the intelligent monitoring method and system for hydropower plants provided by this invention achieve a systemic breakthrough in addressing long-standing technical bottlenecks in the field of hydropower plant operation monitoring. This solution first resolves three core issues: insufficient multimodal data fusion, lack of coupling analysis, and imperfect alarm handling mechanisms. It successfully overcomes the limitations of existing technologies that rely solely on single-modal data, lack data interrelationship mining, have high false alarm rates, and cannot achieve closed-loop processing.
[0103] At the data acquisition and analysis level, this solution simultaneously acquires mechanical, thermal, and electrical data to construct a multimodal comprehensive analysis framework. Compared to traditional systems that rely on only a single type of data for detection, this multi-dimensional data acquisition model significantly improves the comprehensiveness and accuracy of anomaly detection. To further optimize feature capture accuracy, the solution designs three dedicated anomaly identification models: the first mechanical data model extracts high-frequency features using specific techniques and combines them with prediction algorithms to capture vibration anomalies; the second thermal model uses deep learning networks to identify temperature distribution anomalies; and the third electrical model uses machine learning algorithms to analyze discharge characteristics. These three models run in parallel, optimizing features for different monitoring objects, and compared to traditional single-model identification methods, they can more accurately capture anomaly features across different dimensions.
[0104] To reveal the interaction patterns of multiphysics fields, this solution introduces a fourth coupling anomaly identification model. By calculating the coupling coefficients of binary and ternary anomaly features, it quantitatively analyzes the correlation between mechanical, thermal, and electrical anomalies. This innovation overcomes the limitation of traditional methods that ignore the inherent connections between data, providing a deeper analytical perspective for anomaly detection. Based on this, the solution constructs a global anomaly coefficient, weighted and fused with the single-dimensional anomaly coefficients of mechanical, thermal, and electrical anomalies and the coupling coefficients to form a comprehensive risk index. This index provides monitoring personnel with an intuitive and comprehensive basis for anomaly assessment, solving the problems of scattered and difficult-to-quantify indicators in traditional systems.
[0105] In terms of alarm management, the solution proposes a three-tiered suppression strategy based on the global anomaly coefficient and alarm confidence level: low-confidence alarms are automatically suppressed, medium-confidence alarms are marked as "pending confirmation," and high-confidence alarms trigger audible and visual alarms. This hierarchical handling mechanism effectively reduces the false alarm rate while ensuring timely triggering of high-risk anomalies, effectively solving the industry dilemma of "alarm storms" and missed alarms. To further improve monitoring efficiency, the solution applies AR augmented reality technology to push a 3D visualization interface to monitoring personnel based on the global anomaly coefficient and alarm confidence level, overlaying key equipment status parameters in real time. Practical verification has shown that this technology significantly improves anomaly location efficiency and greatly shortens fault diagnosis time.
[0106] At the feature engineering level, the solution features a meticulously designed anomaly identification model for each anomaly detection model: the mechanical model achieves high-precision prediction through a spindle runout prediction residual algorithm; the thermal model develops temperature non-uniformity detection technology to enhance the ability to identify minute anomalies; and the electrical model constructs a comprehensive insulation status assessment model to achieve early warning of aging trends. These core technologies significantly improve early fault identification capabilities, representing a substantial improvement over the industry average, and significantly enhancing the sensitivity and specificity of anomaly detection. The entire system forms a complete technical closed loop of "data fusion - feature extraction - coupled analysis - risk quantification - AR presentation," setting a new technical benchmark for intelligent monitoring in the hydropower industry.
