Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bushing inspection technology, specifically a bushing insulation status detection method based on real-time monitoring of multiple parameters. Background Technology
[0002] Bushings, as key components in power equipment, are widely used in core power equipment such as transformers and circuit breakers. Their insulation performance directly affects the stable operation of the power system. With the development of power systems towards higher voltage and larger capacity, bushings operate in complex environments, facing various factors such as electrical, thermal, and mechanical stresses. This can lead to gradual degradation of their insulation performance, resulting in defects such as surface discharge, internal air gap breakdown, and expansion of carbonized channels. If these defects are not detected and addressed in a timely manner, they may lead to bushing insulation failure, causing equipment malfunctions or even large-scale power outages, resulting in severe economic losses and social impact.
[0003] Currently, bushing insulation condition detection methods mainly rely on single-parameter monitoring, such as judging the insulation condition solely by monitoring partial discharge signals or dielectric loss tangent. These methods have significant limitations: they cannot comprehensively capture the complex characteristics of bushing insulation defects; partial discharge signals are susceptible to external electromagnetic interference, making it difficult to distinguish between actual defects and interference signals relying solely on this parameter; the dielectric loss tangent only reflects the overall insulation loss and cannot accurately locate local defects; and surface leakage current monitoring is mostly limited to qualitative analysis, making it difficult to quantify the severity of defects.
[0004] Current technologies for extracting defect features are relatively simple and lack systematic, graphical representation, making it difficult for maintenance personnel to intuitively grasp the distribution patterns and development trends of defects. In defect area segmentation, fixed threshold segmentation algorithms are commonly used. However, parameters such as temperature and humidity in the bushing operating environment are dynamically changing, and fixed thresholds cannot adapt to environmental fluctuations, easily leading to misjudgments or omissions of high-risk areas. Furthermore, existing assessment systems focus primarily on the current insulation condition, lacking effective prediction of remaining insulation life and failing to rationally prioritize the development of multiple defects. This results in a lack of foresight in maintenance work and difficulty in implementing targeted preventative maintenance. These problems make existing detection methods insufficient to meet the power system's need for accurate monitoring of bushing insulation condition, necessitating a more comprehensive and efficient detection technology to overcome the shortcomings of current technologies.

[0056] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0057] By integrating multi-dimensional monitoring data, the limitations of traditional single-parameter monitoring are overcome, enabling a more comprehensive reflection of the true state of bushing insulation. The coordinated acquisition of partial discharge pulse sequences, dielectric loss tangent fluctuation data, and surface leakage current density distribution covers key information on bushing insulation defects in terms of electrical signals, loss characteristics, and current distribution. It can simultaneously capture various defect characteristics such as surface discharge, internal air gaps, and carbonization channels, avoiding defect omissions or misjudgments caused by single-parameter monitoring. This provides a rich and reliable data foundation for subsequent feature extraction and condition assessment.
[0058] In the insulation defect feature extraction stage, the generated insulation defect distribution map presents the surface discharge trajectory, internal air gap location, and carbonization channel density in an intuitive form. This allows for clear identification of the spatial distribution and severity of defects, facilitating maintenance personnel to quickly grasp the core issues of bushing insulation. This map-based presentation transforms abstract monitoring data into concrete defect information, overcoming the drawbacks of fragmented and difficult-to-integrate information in traditional feature extraction methods. It lays a clear analytical foundation for subsequent area division and condition assessment.
[0059] The application of dynamic threshold segmentation algorithm overcomes the limitations of fixed thresholds in adapting to environmental changes. It adjusts the segmentation criteria based on fluctuations in the real-time operating environment of the bushing, accurately delineating the boundary coordinates between high-risk defect areas and potential defect areas. Compared to traditional fixed threshold algorithms, this method is better suited to the complexity and dynamism of the power equipment operating environment, effectively improving the accuracy of defect area segmentation, avoiding area judgment errors caused by changes in environmental parameters, and ensuring precise identification of high-risk areas.
[0060] The construction of the insulation condition assessment vector quantitatively integrates key indicators such as surface discharge intensity, air gap volume ratio, and carbonization channel expansion trend, forming a multi-dimensional condition assessment system that can comprehensively characterize the degree of bushing insulation degradation from different perspectives. This multi-indicator assessment method avoids the one-sidedness of single-indicator assessment, making the judgment of insulation condition more objective and comprehensive, and more accurately reflecting the overall performance and potential risks of bushing insulation.
[0061] The pre-trained insulation aging prediction model, by receiving insulation condition assessment vectors, can output remaining insulation lifetime estimates and defect development priority rankings, achieving full-process coverage from insulation condition monitoring to lifetime prediction. Trained on a large amount of historical data, this model possesses strong predictive accuracy and practicality, providing forward-looking decision-making support for operation and maintenance work. It helps maintenance personnel plan maintenance strategies in advance, rationally allocate maintenance resources, and take timely preventative measures against high-priority defects, reducing the probability of insulation failure leading to faults, extending bushing service life, and ensuring the stable and safe operation of the power system.

[0066] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below 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.
[0067] Please see Figure 1 This invention provides a bushing insulation condition detection method based on multi-parameter real-time monitoring. The method includes: a multi-dimensional monitoring data set including partial discharge pulse sequences, dielectric loss tangent fluctuation data, and surface leakage current density distribution. These data are synchronously acquired through a high-precision sensor array to ensure real-time performance and integrity. The acquired data undergoes insulation defect feature extraction processing to generate a bushing insulation defect distribution map. This map includes surface discharge trajectories, internal air gap location markers, and carbonization channel density indices, thus intuitively reflecting the spatial distribution characteristics of insulation defects. Next, a dynamic threshold segmentation algorithm is used to divide the insulation defect distribution map into regions. The boundary coordinates between high-risk defect areas and potential defect areas are determined by calculating pixel intensity extreme points and geometric feature parameters. Based on the boundary coordinates, an insulation condition assessment vector is generated. This vector includes the surface discharge intensity index, air gap volume ratio, and carbonization channel expansion trend coefficient. These parameters quantify key indicators of insulation degradation. Finally, the insulation condition assessment vector is input into a pre-trained insulation aging prediction model. This model analyzes the correlation between vector components to output an estimated remaining insulation life of the bushing and a defect development priority ranking, providing data support for maintenance decisions.
[0068] Example 1: See Figure 2The multi-dimensional monitoring dataset includes partial discharge pulse sequences, dielectric loss tangent fluctuation data, and surface leakage current density distribution. The partial discharge pulse sequences are divided into discharge event subsets according to time windows. Each discharge event subset corresponds to a pulse cluster within a power frequency cycle. The partitioning process uses a fixed-duration sliding window algorithm, with the window width strictly synchronized with the power grid cycle to ensure complete discharge phase information within each window. For each discharge event subset, a dielectric loss phase distribution matrix is constructed. The matrix generation is based on dielectric loss tangent fluctuation data. A phase analysis algorithm is used to extract the loss angle offset under different voltage phases. This algorithm uses phase-locked loop technology to track the voltage zero-crossing point, subdividing each power frequency cycle into multiple phase intervals and calculating the standard deviation of the loss tangent in each interval as the offset index. A three-dimensional discharge energy density field is generated by combining the spatial mapping relationship between the surface leakage current density distribution and the discharge event subsets. The spatial mapping relationship is established through coordinate transformation, dividing the bushing surface into grid cells. Each cell is associated with the corresponding leakage current measurement value and discharge pulse data. The three-dimensional discharge energy density field comprises three dimensions: axial energy gradient, radial energy diffusion rate, and tangential energy concentration. The axial energy gradient describes the energy distribution along the bushing length, the radial energy diffusion rate reflects the energy attenuation characteristics along the insulation layer thickness, and the tangential energy concentration characterizes the degree of energy concentration along the circumferential direction of the surface. To generate the three-dimensional discharge energy density field, a dielectric loss-discharge energy conversion equation is first established based on the correlation between the loss angle offset and the partial discharge pulse amplitude in the dielectric loss phase distribution matrix. The equation is in the form of a multiple regression model. The weighting coefficients of the offset and pulse amplitude are fitted using the least squares method, and the equation is solved to obtain the first distribution function of the axial energy gradient. This first distribution function takes the bushing axial position as the independent variable and outputs the energy gradient value at each point.
[0069] A radial energy diffusion calculation model is constructed based on the attenuation characteristics of the surface leakage current density distribution in the radial direction of the bushing. The attenuation characteristics are simulated using an exponential function. The model inputs include the material dielectric constant and dynamic correction parameters for ambient humidity. The dielectric constant is taken from a material database, and the ambient humidity is read from a real-time sensor. The dynamic correction parameters are updated every five minutes using an adaptive filtering algorithm. The radial energy diffusion calculation model solves for the radial propagation speed of energy and outputs a radial energy diffusion rate distribution map. An iterative calculation process for tangential energy concentration is established by combining the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of partial discharge pulse clusters with surface conductivity. The spatiotemporal distribution characteristics are reconstructed using pulse timestamps and sensor position coordinates, and the surface conductivity is provided by the impedance measurement module. The iterative calculation process includes a feedback adjustment mechanism for pulse interval and energy accumulation rate. Each iteration adjusts the accumulation rate based on the previously calculated energy value. Feedback adjustment is triggered when the pulse interval is less than a threshold, and finally, a stable solution for tangential energy concentration is output. The outputs of the first distribution function, the radial energy diffusion calculation model, and the iterative calculation process of tangential energy concentration are spatially meshed. Mesh fusion employs a three-dimensional interpolation algorithm to unify data from different coordinate systems into a cylindrical coordinate system with the casing center as the origin, generating three-dimensional field data containing axial, radial, and tangential energy distributions. This data is stored as a multi-layer matrix structure. Temporal overlay analysis is performed on the three-dimensional discharge energy density field over multiple consecutive power frequency cycles. The overlay analysis uses a moving average method to calculate the average energy of each grid point over the time series, thereby deriving the radius of curvature of the surface discharge trajectory. The radius of curvature is calculated by fitting the geometric feature points of the discharge path. The geometric center coordinates of the internal air gap location markers are obtained by clustering algorithms to identify energy anomaly regions and then calculating the centroid. The spatial distribution weights of the carbonization channel density index are calculated based on the gradient change of the energy field, with the weight values proportional to the gradient magnitude.
[0070] The update frequency of the dielectric loss phase distribution matrix is synchronized with the subset division of discharge events. One frame of matrix data is generated for each power frequency cycle, and the matrix dimension is consistent with the number of phase intervals. Preprocessing of the partial discharge pulse sequence includes noise reduction and pulse classification. Noise reduction uses wavelet transform to filter out background interference, and pulse classification clusters pulses into different discharge types based on the amplitude-phase distribution map. The surface leakage current density distribution is measured using a ring electrode array. The electrode spacing is optimized according to the bushing size, and the density value is normalized by dividing the current value by the electrode area. Visualization of the three-dimensional discharge energy density field uses isosurface rendering technology, and the energy threshold is adjustable to highlight defect areas. The window length for time-domain overlay analysis is set to ten minutes, corresponding to approximately 300 power frequency cycles, ensuring statistical significance. The radius of curvature calculation of the surface discharge trajectory uses least squares fitting of the arc. The geometric center coordinates of the internal air gap location markers are accurate to the millimeter level. The spatial distribution weights of the carbonization channel density index are normalized to the 0-1 range for comparing the severity of different regions. The partitioning of discharge event subsets also considers pulse density factors. When the number of pulses per unit time exceeds a threshold, the time window is automatically narrowed to improve resolution. A temperature compensation coefficient is introduced to generate the dielectric loss phase distribution matrix, obtained by looking up the material's temperature characteristic curve. The axial energy gradient of the three-dimensional discharge energy density field is calculated using the central difference method. The radial energy diffusion rate model is verified by comparing simulated values with measured leakage current distributions. The convergence condition for the iterative calculation of tangential energy concentration is set to an error of less than one percent for three consecutive iterations. The spatial grid fusion process checks data integrity, and missing values are supplemented by interpolation of neighboring points. The results of the time-domain overlay analysis are stored in a time-series database, supporting backtracking queries of energy field changes over any time period. The radius of curvature of the surface discharge trajectory is compared with a preset safety range; an alarm is triggered when the range is exceeded. The geometric center coordinates of the internal air gap location marker are overlaid with the bushing design drawings. The spatial distribution weight of the carbonization channel density index is used to generate a thermal map to guide maintenance of key areas.
[0071] Partial discharge pulse sequences are acquired using high-frequency current transformers with a sampling rate of at least 10 MHz to ensure pulse waveform integrity. Fluctuations in the dielectric loss tangent are measured using a high-voltage bridge with an accuracy of 0.0001%. Surface leakage current density distribution is monitored using distributed fiber optic sensors with a spatial resolution better than one centimeter. The algorithm for partitioning discharge event subsets runs in real-time on an embedded processor, with processing latency controlled to the millisecond level. The construction of the dielectric loss phase distribution matrix utilizes parallel computation via a graphics processor to accelerate matrix operations. The generation cycle of the three-dimensional discharge energy density field is consistent with the power frequency cycle, updating one frame of data every 20 milliseconds. Time-domain overlay analysis is performed on a dedicated data analysis server with sufficient memory for large-scale matrix operations. The calculated radius of curvature of the surface discharge trajectory is automatically annotated on the bushing's three-dimensional model, and the geometric center coordinates of the internal air gap location are output in engineering coordinate format. The spatial distribution weights of the carbonization channel density index are integrated into the risk assessment report. The overall workflow for insulation defect feature extraction is designed as a pipeline architecture, with the output of each step directly serving as the input for the next step, reducing data transfer latency. Partial discharge pulse sequences, dielectric loss tangent fluctuation data, and surface leakage current density distribution are time-stamped and synchronized with microsecond-level accuracy. The three-dimensional discharge energy density field is stored using a layered compression format to balance data accuracy and storage space. Time-domain overlay analysis supports manual selection of time intervals for targeted analysis. The radius of curvature calculation for surface discharge trajectories is compatible with both straight-line and curved-line modes. The calculation of the geometric center coordinates of internal air gap location markers eliminates false defects caused by edge effects. The spatial distribution weight calculation of carbonization channel density indices incorporates a distance attenuation factor to reflect the proximity effect of channel expansion. The partitioning of discharge event subsets supports an overlapping window mode, with configurable overlap rates to improve temporal resolution. The generation of the dielectric loss phase distribution matrix includes outlier removal logic to prevent matrix distortion caused by measurement abrupt changes. The axial, radial, and tangential components of the three-dimensional discharge energy density field can be independently accessed for specialized analysis. Time-domain overlay analysis provides trend prediction capabilities, forecasting future changes in the energy field based on historical data.
[0072] Example 2: See Figure 3The insulation defect distribution map includes surface discharge trajectories, internal air gap location markers, and carbonization channel density indices. The map data is stored in a two-dimensional matrix format, with matrix element values corresponding to the quantified intensity of defect features. After the dynamic threshold segmentation algorithm is activated, it extracts the pixel intensity extreme points of the surface discharge trajectories in the insulation defect distribution map. Extreme point detection uses a neighborhood comparison method, comparing intensity values within the eight connected regions of each pixel to identify local maximum points. A first dynamic segmentation threshold is generated based on the extreme point distribution density, which is calculated as the number of extreme points per unit area. The threshold value is adjusted by the ratio of the density value to a preset benchmark value. A second dynamic segmentation threshold is calculated based on the geometric feature parameters of the internal air gap location markers. These geometric feature parameters include the air gap equivalent diameter to depth ratio. The equivalent diameter is calculated by treating the air gap area as an equivalent circle, and the depth ratio is determined by the ratio of the deepest point to the average depth in the three-dimensional air gap model. The second dynamic segmentation threshold is negatively correlated with the depth ratio; that is, the larger the depth ratio, the lower the threshold is set to capture potential risks. The third dynamic segmentation threshold is generated based on the spatial gradient change rate of the carbonization channel density index. The spatial gradient change rate is calculated by the Sobel operator to calculate the gradient magnitude of the carbonization density map, and the statistical average of the gradient magnitude is taken as the change rate index. The third dynamic segmentation threshold is positively correlated with the gradient change rate, and high gradient regions correspond to higher segmentation thresholds.
[0073] The first, second, and third dynamic segmentation thresholds are weighted and fused. The weighting coefficients are determined based on statistical analysis of historical defect data. The weight for surface discharge-related defects is set to 0.5, the weight for internal air gap defects is set to 0.3, and the weight for carbonization channel defects is set to 0.2, generating a composite dynamic segmentation threshold curve. The curve is a piecewise linear function, with the horizontal axis representing the defect feature intensity value and the vertical axis representing the segmentation threshold. The composite dynamic segmentation threshold curve is used to perform binarization segmentation of the insulation defect distribution map. Each pixel in the map is traversed. Points with intensity values higher than the local threshold are classified as high-risk defect areas, and points with intensity values lower than the local threshold but higher than the baseline threshold are classified as potential defect areas. The set of boundary coordinates between high-risk and potential defect areas is output. The boundary coordinates are extracted using an edge detection algorithm and stored as a polygon vertex sequence. When generating the insulation condition assessment vector, the contour coordinates of high-risk defect areas are extracted from the boundary coordinate set. These contour coordinates are obtained using a chain code tracking algorithm. The integral mean of the surface discharge intensity index within the contour is calculated. The integral calculation uses the Gaussian quadrature method to perform an area integral on the discharge intensity value within the contour region. The mean is calculated as the integral value divided by the area of the contour region. Based on the air gap location marker coordinates of potential defect areas, the ratio of air gap volume percentage to the total bushing volume is calculated. The air gap location marker coordinates are mapped to actual spatial locations through 3D coordinate transformation. The volume of each air gap is obtained by accumulating the element volumes after finite element mesh generation. The air gap volume percentage is the ratio of the total air gap volume to the bushing insulation material volume.
[0074] The time derivative of the carbonization channel expansion trend coefficient is fitted based on the spatial distribution difference of the carbonization channel density index in the boundary coordinate set. The spatial distribution difference is calculated as the standard deviation of the density values between high-risk and potential-risk areas. The time derivative is calculated by the density value difference over multiple consecutive detection cycles, and the central difference method is used to improve accuracy. The surface discharge intensity index, air gap volume ratio, and carbonization channel expansion trend coefficient are combined into a multi-dimensional vector according to preset weights. The weight allocation scheme is as follows: surface discharge intensity index weight 0.4, air gap volume ratio weight 0.35, and carbonization channel expansion trend coefficient weight 0.25. The vector format is a three-dimensional row vector, supporting matrix operations. The execution frequency of the dynamic threshold segmentation algorithm is set to once per minute, synchronized with the data acquisition cycle. The pixel resolution of the insulation defect distribution map is 1024×1024, corresponding to centimeter-level accuracy on the actual bushing surface. The extreme point distribution density is calculated using the sliding window method, with a window size of 50×50 pixels. The calculation of the air gap equivalent diameter to depth ratio requires three-dimensional point cloud data, which is acquired by a laser scanner. The spatial gradient rate of change of the carbonization channel density index is calculated using a 3×3 convolution kernel, with the kernel coefficients set according to a Gaussian distribution. A smoothing process is introduced into the generation of the composite dynamic segmentation threshold curve, employing a five-point cubic smoothing algorithm to eliminate threshold jumps.
[0075] The boundary coordinate set of high-risk defect areas and potential defect areas is stored in GeoJSON format, containing polygon ring information and attribute tables. The contour coordinate extraction algorithm uses area filtering to ignore noise areas smaller than 10 square pixels. The integral calculation of the surface discharge intensity index uses an adaptive step-size algorithm, automatically refining integration points in areas with drastic intensity changes. Air gap volume calculation uses tetrahedral mesh discretization, with the mesh size dynamically adjusted according to the air gap size. The time derivative calculation of the carbonization channel expansion trend coefficient requires data from at least five consecutive time points, with a five-minute interval. The normalization processing of the insulation state assessment vector maps each component to the 0-100 range, facilitating comparison of parameters with different dimensions. Vector data is updated to the database in real time, retaining one year of historical records for trend analysis. The parameters of the dynamic threshold segmentation algorithm support remote configuration, allowing sensitivity adjustment based on field conditions. Topological checking of the boundary coordinate set excludes self-intersecting polygons, ensuring the rationality of area division. The calculation of the surface discharge intensity index incorporates a temperature correction coefficient, obtained by looking up a table based on the material temperature rise characteristic curve. The calculation of the air gap volume ratio takes into account the difference in insulation thickness at different parts of the bushing, with thickness data imported from the design drawings. The fitting of the carbonization channel expansion trend coefficient uses quadratic polynomial regression, with a goodness of regression requirement of 0.9 or higher.
[0076] The application of the composite dynamic segmentation threshold curve employs a pixel-by-pixel comparison method, where each pixel is interpolated on the curve based on its spatial location to obtain the local threshold. High-risk defect areas are marked with a red semi-transparent overlay, while potential defect areas are marked with a yellow semi-transparent overlay, displayed in layers on the visualization interface. The insulation condition assessment vector is transmitted using a lightweight JSON format, including timestamps and device identifiers. An anomaly detection mechanism for vector data monitors abrupt changes in component values, triggering a review process when a change exceeds 20%. Performance optimization of the dynamic threshold segmentation algorithm utilizes multi-threading technology, processing images in blocks in parallel. The compressed storage of the boundary coordinate set employs a run-length encoding algorithm to reduce storage space usage. The integral calculation of the surface discharge intensity index skips signal-deficient regions, which are supplemented by interpolation of neighboring points. The calculation of the air gap volume ratio is periodically cross-validated with X-ray inspection results, triggering a calibration process when the error exceeds 5%. The calculation of the time derivative of the carbonization channel expansion trend coefficient uses a robust estimation method to eliminate gross error points. The persistent storage of the insulation condition assessment vector establishes a time-series database, supporting rapid retrieval by time range. The evaluation metrics for the dynamic threshold segmentation algorithm include segmentation accuracy and recall. Accuracy, tested with manually labeled samples, exceeds 95%. The spatial index of the boundary coordinate set uses an R-tree structure to accelerate region lookup. Visualization of the insulation condition assessment vector provides both radar charts and parallel coordinate plots for easy multi-parameter comparative analysis. The output of the region segmentation processing is in a standardized GIS layer format, which can be overlaid with the plant map. The interface for the insulation condition assessment vector supports RESTful API calls, facilitating integration with other systems. The dynamic threshold segmentation algorithm's log records detailed results for each processing step, used for fault diagnosis. Boundary coordinates of high-risk defect areas are automatically pushed to the inspection system, generating a list of key inspection areas. Monitoring data for potential defect areas are entered into a long-term trend tracking queue, generating periodic analysis reports.

The model structure includes three independent aging analysis layers and a comprehensive fusion module. Each aging analysis layer specifically processes data for one type of defect. The surface discharge intensity index is input into the first aging analysis layer. The first aging analysis layer contains a discharge cumulative damage calculation module. This module is built based on damage mechanics theory and converts time-varying discharge intensity data into the degradation rate of the material's insulation performance. The calculation of the discharge cumulative damage calculation module follows the following mathematical relationship: ;in: This indicates the rate of surface insulation degradation, expressed as a percentage of decay per day.
