TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of power equipment state monitoring and voiceprint signal processing, and particularly relates to a device voiceprint denoising monitoring method fusing empirical mode decomposition and a double-channel U-Net. BACKGROUND
[0002] In a power system, devices such as power transformers, converter valves and water turbines are core components for guaranteeing power production and transmission, and their operating states directly affect the stability and safety of power supply. Voiceprint signals generated during the operation of the devices contain rich state information; for example, mechanical vibration sound and fluid flow sound of a water turbine, and core magnetic strain sound and winding discharge sound of a transformer. Through analysis of these voiceprint signals, device state monitoring and early fault warning can be achieved.
[0003] However, the actual operating environment of the devices is complex, and the voiceprint signals are easily affected by multiple interferences: on the one hand, there are background noises of other devices such as fans and pump bodies in the environment, as well as airflow and electromagnetic radiation interferences; on the other hand, the device voiceprint signals themselves have non-stationary and nonlinear characteristics, and the useful signals are often overwhelmed by noises, resulting in a decrease in the accuracy of subsequent state analysis.
[0004] The existing denoising and monitoring technologies have obvious deficiencies: (1) traditional denoising methods (such as fixed filtering and wavelet transform) rely on preset parameters and are difficult to adapt to complex and variable noise characteristics, and have poor suppression effect on non-stationary and nonlinear noises, which easily leads to distortion of useful signals; (2) a single deep learning model (such as a single-channel U-Net or CNN) can only extract single-dimensional (time domain or frequency domain) features when directly processing original voiceprint signals, and the features are not fully mined, which cannot fully capture device state-related information; (3) most methods are not optimized for the specificity of power device voiceprints, and have weak generalization ability under different devices (such as transformers and water turbines) and different operating conditions (such as full load and light load), which results in unstable denoising precision and affects the accuracy of device state evaluation, and thus it is difficult to meet the demand of the power system for high-reliability monitoring of devices. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a voiceprint denoising monitoring method that can adaptively separate noises and useful signals, deeply mine multi-dimensional features and adapt to multiple devices and multiple operating conditions, so as to improve the reliability and practicality of power device voiceprint monitoring.

[0045] 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.
[0046] This invention leverages the adaptive signal decomposition capability of Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) to accurately and initially separate noise and useful components from acoustic signature signals. It employs a dual-channel U-Net network to deeply extract time-domain and frequency-domain features, and combines this with an ECA channel attention mechanism to enhance useful feature fusion and improve feature utilization efficiency. An adaptive loss function is designed to dynamically adapt to the noise suppression requirements of different devices and operating conditions, balancing noise removal and useful signal retention. Based on the high-quality acoustic signature signal after noise reduction, early identification of abnormal equipment conditions is achieved, improving the signal-to-noise ratio and accuracy of status assessment in power equipment acoustic signature monitoring, and ensuring the stable operation of the power system.
[0047] Please see Figs. 1-2 As shown, the device acoustic noise reduction monitoring method of the present invention, which integrates empirical mode decomposition and dual-channel U-Net, achieves accurate suppression of complex noise by combining the adaptive signal separation capability of empirical mode decomposition with the feature learning advantages of deep learning. The following is a detailed description of each step:
[0048] Step S1: Acquire the raw acoustic signature signal during device operation, and use empirical mode decomposition to decompose the signal into multiple intrinsic mode functions, achieving preliminary separation of noise and useful signal. The process includes:
[0049] Step S11: original voiceprint signal collection. A high-sensitivity acoustic sensor is selected, such as a piezoelectric sensor with a precision of ±1 dB and a frequency response range covering 20 Hz-20 kHz. In a certain hydroelectric station turbine plant, four sensors are arranged at an interval of 5 m along the circumferential direction of the water turbine to ensure that the weak and complex voiceprint signals of the water turbine, power transformer, and converter valve during operation can be effectively captured. An appropriate sampling frequency is set to meet the Nyquist sampling theorem, ensuring complete acquisition of the frequency components of the device voiceprint signal; the sampling frequency meets the Nyquist sampling theorem, such as when the device voiceprint main frequency is ≤10 kHz, the sampling frequency is set to 25 kHz, the quantization bit number is set to 16 bits, and the signal amplitude accuracy is ensured; the continuous collection time is adjusted according to the device working condition; the collection time is adjusted according to the stability of the working condition; for example, 5-10 minutes for steady-state working condition and more than 30 minutes for dynamic working condition.
[0050] Step S12: empirical mode decomposition (EMD) processing and signal preliminary separation. The EMD decomposition process is performed as follows: traverse the signal x(t), identify all local maximum points and local minimum points, and use cubic spline interpolation to fit the maximum points to obtain the upper envelope line u(t) and the minimum points to obtain the lower envelope line l(t); calculate the mean values of the upper and lower envelope lines, formula: m1(t) = (u(t) + l(t)) / 2;
[0051] Subtract the envelope mean from the original signal to obtain the first intrinsic mode function (IMF) candidate component:
[0052] h1(t) = x(t) - m1(t)
[0053] Repeat steps 1-2 for the candidate component h1(t) (the upper limit of the iteration number is set to 100 times) until it meets the two core conditions of IMF: ① the number of extreme points in the entire signal is equal to or differs by no more than 1 from the number of zero-crossing points; ② the mean values of the upper and lower envelope lines at any time are 0, at which time h1(t) is determined as the first effective IMF component;
[0054] Calculate the residual signal r1(t) = x(t) - h1(t), and repeat the above decomposition process with r1(t) as the new "original signal" to obtain h2(t), h3(t),..., h n (t) in turn until the residual component r n (t) is a monotonic function or a constant, and the decomposition stops.
[0055] Step S13: IMF component screening and noise separation: calculate the correlation coefficient corr(h i ,x) of each IMF component h i (t) and the original signal x(t), formula:
[0056]
[0057] wherein and are the h i (t) and x(t) are the mean values. T is the signal length; the IMF components with correlation coefficient corr(h i , x) > 0.3 are reserved, which are considered to contain more useful signals related to equipment operation; the frequency characteristics of the IMF components are analyzed: the high-frequency IMF is mainly composed of environmental noise and sensor background noise, and a decay weight is applied thereto; the low-frequency IMF contains characteristic sound prints of equipment mechanical vibration and fluid flow, and the original amplitude is maintained to realize preliminary separation of noise and useful signals.
[0058] Step S2: a dual-channel U-Net network is constructed to extract the time domain characteristics and frequency domain characteristics of the intrinsic mode function respectively, and the ECA channel attention mechanism is introduced after channel unification to strengthen the fusion of useful features. The process includes:
[0059] Step S21: dual-channel U-Net network architecture construction. The overall structure of the network: the network contains two parallel modules of time domain branch and frequency domain branch, each branch is composed of "encoder (downsampling)-decoder (upsampling)", the fusion of shallow features and deep features is realized through jump connection, and finally the unified dimension fusion features are output through the feature fusion layer.
[0060] Construction of time domain input I t : for each IMF component (t) screened in S12, a sliding window blocking method is used to convert it into a two-dimensional feature map: let the window length W = 256 and the window step s = 128, then the window number H = [L / S], where L is the total length of the IMF component h i (t), and finally a two-dimensional time domain feature map I t with a dimension of HxW is obtained.
[0061] Construction of frequency domain input I f : each IMF component h i (t) screened in S12 is converted to the frequency domain by short-time Fourier transform (STFT): a Hanning window (window length = 512, overlap rate = 50%) is set, and a spectrum S with a dimension of FxH is calculated, where F = 256 is the number of frequency points. H is the number of time frames, which is consistent with the window number of the time domain branch); the spectrum is transposed to HxF to ensure that the time dimension is aligned with the time domain feature map.
[0062] The time domain input I t and the frequency domain input I fThe input is fed into two U-Net models with identical structures, and the two models output temporal features F respectively. t and frequency domain features F f Both have the same dimensions, C×H×W, where C is the number of channels, which can be set according to the actual situation, and is generally set to 64.
[0063] Step S22: ECA Channel Attention Feature Fusion. ECA Channel Attention Weight Calculation: The importance weights of each channel feature are adaptively learned through the ECA mechanism. Specific steps:
[0064] Calculate the aggregated feature: Perform an element-wise averaging operation on the sum to obtain the aggregated feature, as shown in the formula:
[0065]
[0066] Global Information Compression: Global Average Pooling (GAP) is performed on the aggregated features to compress the two-dimensional features of each channel into a single value, resulting in the channel descriptor z. c The formula is:
[0067]
[0068] Where z c Let c = 1, 2, ..., 64 be the global descriptor for the c-th channel.
[0069] Nonlinear mapping and weight normalization: One-dimensional convolution is used to normalize the channel descriptor z = [z c For each c = 1, 2, ..., 64, a non-linear mapping is performed, and the kernel size is calculated using the following formula:
[0070] k = floor(log2(C) + 1);
[0071] After mapping and normalization using the Sigmoid activation function, the attention for each channel is obtained:
[0072] w = Sigmoid(Conv1(z,k))
[0073] The unified time-domain and frequency-domain features are weighted using attention weight w, as shown in the formula:
[0074] F fusion =w·F t +(1-w)·F f
[0075] To avoid feature information loss during the fusion process, residual connections are introduced to add the fused features to the aggregated features, resulting in the final output features:
[0076] F out =F fusion +Fagg
[0077] F out The dimensions are 64×H×W, which are used for subsequent network training and noise reduction output.
[0078] Step S23: Reconstruct the network output features to generate a single-channel feature map of the denoised signal with the same dimension as the original signal.
[0079] First, the multi-channel feature maps are passed through a 1×1 convolution (with only one convolution kernel) in the output layer, thus mapping the multi-channel features into single-channel feature maps:
[0080] F final =Conv 1×1 (F out (k=1)
[0081] Because the original signal was segmented using an overlap strategy with a window length W = 256 and a step size s = 128 (overlap rate 50%), the overlapping portion needs to be removed during splicing to restore the original length: F final For each window (H in total), take its center s = 128 sampling points (non-overlapping region); stitch all non-overlapping regions together in the original window order to obtain a signal with a total length of H×s;
[0082]
[0083] In the above formula, ":" is a wildcard, meaning "all", that is, taking all elements from column 1 to column W in row h. h represents the row, the h-th row, h = 1, 2, ... H; S is the block step size.
[0084] Step S3: Design an adaptive loss function to optimize the network's ability to suppress noise under different devices and operating conditions.
[0085] This step involves constructing an adaptive loss function with multiple sub-loss terms and dynamically adjusting the weights of each loss term. This allows the network to balance noise suppression and useful signal retention under different devices and operating conditions, improving the model's generalization ability and noise reduction accuracy. The process includes:
[0086] Step S31: Constructing the adaptive loss function. The designed total loss function is the reconstruction loss L. rec Signal-to-noise ratio loss L snr Feature loss L feat Weighted sum:
[0087] L total =α·L rec +β·L snr +γ·L feat
[0088] Where α, β, and γ are dynamically adjusted weight coefficients, satisfying α + β + γ = 1, and each sub-loss term is defined as follows:
[0089] Reconstruction loss: Mean square error (MSE) is used to measure the overall error between the network's output denoised signal and the clean labeled signal, ensuring that the denoised signal is consistent with the useful signal in waveform. The formula is:
[0090]
[0091] Where N is the number of signal sampling points. Let y be the amplitude of the i-th sampling point of the output signal. i The amplitude of the i-th sampling point of the clean label; the base weight α = 0.5, which serves as the core benchmark of the loss function.
[0092] Signal-to-noise ratio loss: By optimizing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the output signal, the network's ability to suppress noise is enhanced. The formula is as follows:
[0093]
[0094] in, This represents the signal-to-noise ratio of the output signal.
[0095] When the original input signal In high-noise scenarios, adjust β from the base value of 0.2 to 0.4 to prioritize noise suppression; when the original SNR is ≥10dB, keep β = 0.2.
[0096] Feature loss: Protecting key features of the equipment's acoustic signature (such as the dominant frequency of mechanical vibration and fluid pulse characteristics) to avoid excessive noise reduction leading to the loss of useful information. The formula is:
[0097]
[0098] Where VGG(.) is the output of the fully connected layer of the pre-trained VGG16 network (extracting deep features), and cos(.) is the cosine similarity function;
[0099] Network training and optimization: Using the IMF from step S1 as input and clean labels as output, the total loss function is minimized using the Adam optimizer (learning rate 0.001, batch size 32), and the training is iterated until the loss converges (e.g., loss fluctuation <0.001 after 500 iterations) to obtain the optimized denoising model.
[0100] Step S4: Use the denoised voiceprint signal for equipment status assessment to achieve early identification of abnormal states based on the high-quality denoised voiceprint signal. The process includes:
[0101] Step S41: Key Feature Extraction. For the denoised signal, this patent extracts key features in the time domain (peak factor, kurtosis, root mean square value) and key features in the frequency domain (dominant frequency).
[0102] Step S42: Equipment Status Assessment and Anomaly Identification. Feature Baseline Construction: Collect 100-200 sets of normal noise-reduced acoustic signature signals from the equipment under rated operating conditions (rated load, rated voltage), extract the aforementioned key features, calculate the mean μ and standard deviation σ of each feature, and construct a baseline range [μ-3σ, μ+3σ]. Anomaly Identification: Collect the equipment acoustic signature signal in real time, extract key features after noise reduction in steps S1-S3, and compare them with the baseline range; if any feature exceeds the range, trigger an anomaly warning and mark the anomaly type (e.g., a main frequency shift may correspond to mechanical imbalance, increased kurtosis may correspond to a local impact fault).

Attention weights are obtained by Sigmoid activation. The unified features are weighted using these weights, and residual connections are introduced to add the fused features to the aggregated features to obtain the final output features. S23. Map the output features to a single-channel feature map using a 1×1 convolution kernel, remove the overlapping parts with a 50% overlap rate, and then stitch them together to generate a denoised signal with the same dimension as the original signal.
