[0002] As the core equipment of the power system, the stator insulation performance of the generator directly determines the operation life and safety stability of the equipment. In the long-term operation process, under the combined action of electricity, heat, mechanical stress and environmental factors, the stator insulation is prone to aging, damage and other problems, which causes partial discharge phenomenon. The type and characteristics of the partial discharge directly reflect the nature and severity of the insulation defects.

[0003] There are two core problems in the traditional diagnosis method: one is that the signal collection is mostly overall monitoring, without regional layout, and the operation and maintenance need to be checked in a large range, which is high in cost and low in efficiency; the other is that the feature extraction is limited to a single dimension of time domain, frequency domain or phase, ignoring the signal space correlation, and it is difficult to distinguish similar discharge types in different regions, and the recognition accuracy is affected.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The application provides an automatic pattern recognition method for partial discharge defects of a generator stator insulation, comprising the following steps:

[0054] S100: dividing the generator stator core into a plurality of monitoring areas in the axial and circumferential directions, synchronously collecting multi-type signals of each area, and obtaining an original data set with area identification.

[0055] In the embodiment, the generator stator core is divided into a plurality of monitoring areas in the axial and circumferential directions, multi-type signals of each area are synchronously collected, and an original data set with area identification is obtained. The specific process is as follows:

[0056] S101: according to the structural parameters of the generator stator core, dividing the core into a plurality of axial areas in the axial direction according to the interval, dividing the core into a plurality of circumferential areas in the circumferential direction according to the number of magnetic pole pairs, and assigning a unique spatial identification code to each monitoring area;

[0057] S102: arranging three types of sensors in each divided monitoring area; connecting a high-frequency current sensor in series at the grounding line of the stator winding of the corresponding area to collect a discharge current signal; fixing an ultrahigh-frequency sensor at the core slot position through an insulating support to collect an ultrahigh-frequency electromagnetic radiation signal; and adhering an ultrasonic sensor to the outer wall of the core through a coupling agent to collect an ultrasonic vibration signal;

[0058] S103: Obtain a power grid voltage phase signal, connect the three types of sensors in the monitoring area to a multi-channel data acquisition card, and trigger a synchronous start sampling request for each channel;

[0059] S104: Add a corresponding area identification code, a collection time stamp, and a sensor type label to each collected signal data frame, integrate the labeled signal data, and store it to form an original data set with area identification.

[0060] In the above process, according to the actual structural parameters of the generator stator core, including the core length, inner diameter, and the number of magnetic pole pairs, the monitoring area division rule is determined, and the core is divided into several axial areas at an interval of 200-300 mm along the axial direction, and divided into several circumferential areas according to the number of magnetic pole pairs along the circumferential direction, ensuring that the area of each monitoring area does not exceed 0.5 square decimeters (i.e., 50 square millimeters), and a unique spatial identification code is assigned to each area. In each divided monitoring area, three types of sensors are arranged, the high-frequency current sensor is connected in series at the stator winding ground line of the corresponding area, which is used to collect the discharge current signal in the frequency band of 1-100 MHz, which covers the main current signal frequency of the generator stator insulation partial discharge (including corona discharge, surface discharge, internal discharge, and suspended potential discharge), the ultrahigh frequency sensor is fixed on the core slot position through an insulating support, which is used to collect the ultrahigh frequency electromagnetic radiation signal, and the ultrasonic sensor is attached to the outer wall of the core through a coupling agent, which is used to collect the ultrasonic vibration signal, and the distance between the ultrahigh frequency sensor and the ultrasonic sensor in the same area is not more than 50 mm.

[0061] Connect the phase synchronization module to the power grid to obtain the power grid voltage phase signal, connect the three types of sensors in each area to the multi-channel data acquisition card, set the sampling frequency of the data acquisition card to not less than 100 MHz and the sampling bit number to not less than 16 bits, and trigger a synchronous start sampling for each channel through the phase synchronization signal; in the signal collection process, add a corresponding area identification code, a collection time stamp, and a sensor type label to each collected signal data frame, integrate and store all the labeled signal data to form an original data set with area identification.

[0062] S200: Preprocess the original data set and extract four types of features in time domain, frequency domain, phase, and space to obtain a feature set.

[0063] In this embodiment, the original data set is preprocessed, and four types of features in time domain, frequency domain, phase, and space are extracted to obtain a feature set. The specific process is as follows:

[0064] S201: Denoise the signals in the original data set, remove the outliers in the denoised signal data, and convert the data to standardized data;

[0065] S202: Extract four types of features from standardized data: time domain, frequency domain, phase, and spatial features. In the time domain, identify discharge pulses and calculate pulse peak value, rise time, fall time, pulse width, and signal amplitude variance. In the frequency domain, perform Fourier transform on the signal to extract the signal's dominant frequency, energy proportion of different frequency bands, spectral entropy, and harmonic component amplitude. In the phase domain, combine phase synchronization signals to draw relevant spectra and calculate the phase distribution histogram, phase centroid, phase dispersion, and phase correlation coefficient. In the spatial domain, calculate the signal amplitude difference, signal arrival time difference, and signal correlation coefficient between adjacent sensors of the same type.

[0066] S203: Process the extracted features, retain the principal components and embed the local topological structure of the optimized features to form a feature set.

[0067] In the above process, wavelet threshold denoising method is used to denoise the signal in the original dataset. An improved db6 wavelet basis is selected to perform multi-level decomposition of the signal. The threshold coefficient is dynamically adjusted according to the signal-to-noise ratio. When the signal-to-noise ratio is less than 20dB, the threshold coefficient is set between 0.8 and 1.0. When the signal-to-noise ratio is not less than 20dB, the threshold coefficient is set between 0.5 and 0.7. The denoised signal is obtained by threshold processing and inverse wavelet transform reconstruction.

[0068] Outlier removal is performed on the denoised signal data. First, outliers that are significantly outside the normal distribution range of the data are screened and removed based on the 3σ criterion. Then, the local outlier factor of the remaining data is calculated. Data with a local outlier factor greater than 1.8 are identified as potential outliers and removed. Subsequently, the Z-score standardization method is used to convert the processed data into standardized data with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.

[0069] Four types of features are extracted from standardized data. In terms of time domain features, discharge pulses are identified and pulse peak value, rise time, fall time, pulse width, and signal amplitude variance are calculated. In terms of frequency domain features, Fourier transform is performed on the signal to extract the signal's dominant frequency, energy proportion of different frequency bands, spectral entropy, and harmonic component amplitude. In terms of phase features, a correlation spectrum is plotted in conjunction with the phase synchronization signal, and the phase distribution histogram, phase centroid, phase dispersion, and phase correlation coefficient are calculated. In terms of spatial features, the signal amplitude difference, signal arrival time difference, and signal correlation coefficient of similar sensors in adjacent areas are calculated.

[0070] A hybrid dimensionality reduction algorithm combining principal component analysis and local linear embedding is used to process the extracted high-dimensional features. First, principal component analysis is used to retain principal components with a cumulative contribution rate of not less than 95%. Then, local linear embedding is used to optimize the local topology of the features to reduce the loss of feature information, and finally form a feature set with appropriate dimensionality.

[0071] S300: Calculate the discharge probability of each monitoring area based on the feature set, determine the defect type based on the probability threshold, and trace the discharge area.

[0072] In this embodiment, the discharge probability of each monitoring area is calculated based on the feature set, the defect type is determined based on the probability threshold, and the discharge area is traced. The specific process is as follows:

[0073] S301: Calculate the probability values ​​of four defect types—corona discharge, surface discharge, internal discharge, and floating potential discharge—based on the feature set to determine the defect type;

[0074] S302: Obtain the discharge probability value of each monitoring area and trace the discharge area.

[0075] Furthermore, in the steps of obtaining the discharge probability value of each monitoring area and tracing the discharge area:

[0076] A first discharge threshold and a second discharge threshold are set. If the discharge probability of a single region is greater than or equal to the first discharge threshold, then the region is determined to be a discharge region.

[0077] If the discharge probability of multiple regions is between the first threshold and the second threshold, then the theoretical signal attenuation value of each region is calculated and compared with the actual measured value. The region with the smallest error is determined as the discharge region.

[0078] In the above process, a CNN-BiLSTM-Transformer hybrid model based on the attention mechanism is constructed. The model includes a CNN layer, a BiLSTM layer, a Transformer layer and a dual-branch output layer. The CNN layer is used to extract the local correlation of features, the BiLSTM layer is used to capture the temporal dependency of features, the Transformer layer is used to enhance the spatial interaction of features, and the dual-branch output layer is used to output the probability of defect type and the probability of regional discharge, respectively.

[0079] The feature set was divided into training and testing sets in a 7:3 ratio. Data augmentation was performed on the training set, including adding small Gaussian noise and stretching / compressing the time axis. Then, the model training parameters were set, with the initial learning rate set between 0.001 and 0.005, the batch size set between 32 and 64, and the number of training epochs set between 60 and 120. The model was trained using the cross-entropy loss function and the AdamW optimization algorithm. An early stopping strategy was enabled during training; training was stopped and the optimal model parameters were saved when the test set loss did not decrease for 8 consecutive epochs.

[0080] Input the feature set corresponding to the signal to be identified into the trained model. The defect type output branch of the model will output the probability values ​​of four defect types: corona discharge, surface discharge, internal discharge, and floating potential discharge. Select the defect type with the highest probability and not less than 0.75 as the final determined defect type. If the maximum probability is less than 0.75, a secondary detection is triggered.

[0081] The model outputs the discharge probability value of each monitoring area through the regional discharge probability output branch. A first discharge threshold and a second discharge threshold are set. For example, if the first discharge threshold is 0.8 and the second discharge threshold is 0.6, if the discharge probability of a single area is not less than 0.8, then the area is directly determined to be a discharge area. If the discharge probability of multiple areas is between 0.6 and 0.8, then the theoretical signal attenuation value of each area is calculated by combining the signal attenuation model based on the stator core material and structure and compared with the actual measurement value. The area with the smallest error is determined to be a discharge area.

An automatic pattern recognition system for partial discharge defects in generator stator insulation, applied to the automatic pattern recognition method for partial discharge defects in generator stator insulation as described in claim 1, characterized in that, It includes a partial discharge signal acquisition module, a multi-dimensional feature set construction module, and a partial discharge defect type identification and area tracing module; among which: The partial discharge signal acquisition module is used to divide the generator stator core into multiple monitoring areas according to the axial and circumferential directions, and simultaneously acquire multiple types of signals in each area to obtain a raw dataset with area identification. The multi-dimensional feature set construction module is used to preprocess the original dataset and extract four types of features: time domain, frequency domain, phase, and space, to obtain a feature set. The partial discharge defect type identification and area tracing module is used to calculate the discharge probability of each monitoring area based on the feature set, determine the defect type based on the probability threshold, and trace the discharge area.
