Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of partial discharge technology, and more specifically to an online partial discharge detection method based on multi-sensor data fusion and deep learning. Background Technology

[0002] Partial discharge is a significant early sign of insulation degradation in high-voltage electrical equipment, and its effective monitoring is crucial for preventing equipment failures and ensuring the safe operation of the power grid. Traditional partial discharge detection methods often rely on single-type sensors, such as ultra-high frequency (UHF), ultrasonic, or pulsed current methods. These methods are susceptible to interference in the complex electromagnetic environment of substations, and the diversity of discharge types and signal propagation paths makes it difficult for a single sensor to achieve comprehensive and accurate fault identification and location. Furthermore, existing fixed monitoring systems have limited coverage, making it difficult to monitor all critical equipment in a large substation without blind spots; while portable inspections suffer from poor data continuity, reliance on manual experience, and low efficiency. At the data processing level, traditional threshold alarms or simple feature classification methods are insufficient to effectively extract weak discharge characteristics from massive, high-dimensional, and non-stationary monitoring data.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a comprehensive online detection technology that integrates flexible mobile inspection, wide-area fixed deployment, multimodal data collaboration, and edge-cloud collaborative intelligent diagnosis to overcome the limitations of existing methods in terms of monitoring flexibility, data comprehensiveness, diagnostic accuracy, and system adaptability. Summary of the Invention

Time-domain and frequency-domain features are extracted from the preprocessed multi-source signals. The local fusion decision module 43 combines environmental parameters to perform feature correlation and threshold comparison to generate local early warning decisions. The edge computing unit 4 uploads the feature data and original data fragments to the cloud diagnostic center 5 via the wide area network L4. The feature-level fusion engine 52 performs multi-dimensional feature fusion, and the deep learning diagnostic model 51 performs pattern recognition and risk level assessment on the fused features. The diagnostic result generation module 53 generates a structured diagnostic report, which is pushed to the user terminal for graphical display and risk point marking via the Web service interface. The cloud diagnostic center 5 collects new sample data to retrain the deep learning diagnostic model 51 and sends the optimized model parameters to the edge computing unit 4. Example 8:

[0132] In step three, the edge-side feature fusion decision algorithm based on information geometry and adaptive weighting includes:

[0133] The manifold space mapping and representation of multi-source features treats the time-frequency domain feature vectors extracted by each sensor as points on a Riemannian manifold, and calculates the covariance matrix to represent the deep statistical properties of the signal. For a data window of sensor s containing M feature points, the covariance matrix is ​​defined as: In formula (1), It is the feature vector at the m-th time point. It is the mean of the feature vectors within the window. D is the feature dimension;

[0134] Riemann distance-based adaptive decision fusion calculates the geometric distance between the current multi-sensor feature manifold and the preset health state baseline manifold, and then performs adaptive weighted fusion.

[0135] Comprehensive abnormal indicators Calculated based on log-Euclidean-Riemann distance: In formula (2), the adaptive weights , It is the gradient norm of the current window covariance matrix. It is a sensitivity adjustment hyperparameter; It is the baseline covariance matrix of sensor s under healthy conditions, and Logm(·) is the matrix logarithm operation. It is the square of the Frobenius norm. The above scheme is verified by the following experiment, which is carried out in a shielded laboratory simulating the electromagnetic interference environment of a substation. The hardware platform adopts the hardware architecture of the edge computing unit (4), the main processor is ARM Cortex-A72, the FPGA accelerator card is Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+, and the ASIC coprocessor accelerator card is a customized parallel computing unit. The data sources are four types of sensors: ultra-high frequency sensor (UHF), ultrasonic sensor (US), high frequency current transformer (HFCT) and transient ground voltage sensor (TEV), with sampling frequencies of 1 GHz, 500 kHz, 100 MHz and 200 MHz, respectively. A total of 500 healthy state samples and 800 typical partial discharge fault samples (including corona discharge, surface discharge, internal discharge, etc.) were collected in the experiment. The duration of each sample is 10 ms and the feature dimension D=16.

[0136] Method Comparison: The algorithm of this invention (denoted as IG-AW) is compared with two traditional methods: one is a weighted average fusion based on Euclidean distance (denoted as Euclid-Avg), and the other is a multi-sensor decision fusion based on fixed weights (denoted as Fixed-Weight). Evaluation Metrics: The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), accuracy, and false positive rate (FPR) are used as the core evaluation metrics for anomaly detection.

[0137] Using 500 health status samples, the baseline covariance matrix of each sensor is calculated according to formula (1). For 800 fault samples and an additional 200 healthy test samples, the current covariance matrix is ​​calculated by sliding over a time window (M=50 feature points). The comprehensive anomaly index for each time window is calculated according to formula (2). The hyperparameter λ was optimized to 0.5 using a grid search. A dynamic threshold was set. The methods were categorized and their performance metrics were statistically analyzed. The experimental data processing results are shown in Table 1.

[0138] Table 1 Performance Comparison of Different Feature Fusion Algorithms

[0139]

[0140] Experimental data show that the algorithm of this invention (IG-AW) significantly outperforms the traditional Euclidean distance-weighted average method and fixed-weight method in key indicators such as AUC, accuracy, and false alarm rate. The fundamental reason is that this algorithm maps feature vectors to Riemannian manifold space, using the covariance matrix to characterize deeper statistical properties of the signal. Its ability to describe the intrinsic geometric structure of the data is superior to the Euclidean space assumption. Simultaneously, the adaptive weighting mechanism based on the gradient norm of the covariance matrix can dynamically respond to instantaneous changes in the signal quality of each sensor, thus more robustly fusing multi-source information in strong noise backgrounds. This effectively improves the sensitivity and decision-making accuracy for detecting partial discharge anomalies, meeting the dual requirements of real-time performance and reliability at the edge. Example 9:

[0141] In step four, the cloud-based deep diagnostic algorithm based on multimodal Transformer and cross-modal contrastive learning includes:

[0142] The spatiotemporal alignment and embedding of multimodal features utilizes a Transformer encoder to jointly encode heterogeneous spectral data, capturing long-range dependencies; the input to the cross-modal Transformer is the concatenation of features from all sensors. , It is the feature vector of the ultra-high frequency sensor. It is the feature vector of the ultrasonic sensor. It is the characteristic vector of a high-frequency current transformer. The feature vector of the transient voltage sensor is output by the self-attention mechanism as follows: In formula (3), For the query, key, and value matrix, M is a specially designed modal mask matrix. This represents the dimension of each feature vector in the query matrix and the key matrix. This indicates matrix multiplication between the query matrix and the transpose of the key matrix; Softmax() is the activation function.

[0143] Decoupling representation and diagnosis based on contrastive learning introduces decoupling contrastive loss into model training to separate discharge type features from environmental interference features.

[0144] Decoupling contrast loss function Defined as: In formula (4), It is the feature vector of the target sample. It is a set of positive samples. It is a set of negative samples. It is a similarity measurement function. It's a temperature over-parameter. It is a logarithmic function. The experiment was conducted in the hardware environment of the cloud diagnostic center (5), using two servers equipped with 4 NVIDIA A100 GPU accelerator cards, interconnected through the InfiniBand network. The software environment was PyTorch 1.12.0, the number of Transformer model layers was set to 6, the number of attention heads was 8, and the feature dimension d_k=64. The dataset contains a total of 15,000 samples from four types of sensors: UHF, US, HFCT, and TEV, covering three typical fault types: corona discharge, surface discharge, and internal discharge, as well as background electromagnetic interference of various intensities. All samples were labeled by experts. The algorithm of this invention (denoted as MMT-CCL, i.e., multimodal Transformer and cross-modal contrastive learning) was compared with three baseline methods: one is the feature fusion method based on convolutional neural network (CNN-Concat), the second is the ordinary multimodal Transformer without contrastive loss (MMT-Base), and the third is the support vector machine multi-core learning method (SVM-MKL).

[0145] Macro-F1 score and average accuracy for multi-class classification tasks were used as core evaluation metrics, while the classification stability (standard deviation) of the model on noisy samples was also recorded. All sensor data were normalized and time series of the same length were truncated and divided into training, validation, and test sets in an 8:1:1 ratio. The MMT-CCL model was trained according to formulas (3) and (4), with AdamW as the optimizer and the temperature hyperparameter τ set to 0.1. The baseline model was trained under the same data partition to obtain a fair comparison. The classification performance of each model was evaluated on the test set, and its performance on challenging samples with high-intensity noise was analyzed in particular. The performance comparison results of different diagnostic algorithms on the test set are shown in Table 2.

[0146] Table 2 Performance Comparison of Different Cloud-based Diagnostic Algorithms

[0147]

[0148] The experimental results demonstrate that the cloud-based deep diagnostic algorithm based on multimodal Transformer and cross-modal contrastive learning exhibits significant advantages in partial discharge type identification tasks. The algorithm of this invention (MMT-CCL) outperforms all baseline models in both macro-F1 score and average accuracy, particularly demonstrating superior classification stability (measured by the standard deviation of accuracy) in noisy environments, proving its strong robustness. This is mainly attributed to the Transformer encoder effectively capturing the long-range dependencies between multimodal signals, while the introduced decoupling contrastive loss function effectively separates the essential characteristics of discharge from environmental interference features within the representation space by bringing similar discharge samples closer together and distancing dissimilar discharge and interference samples further away, thereby improving the model's generalization ability and diagnostic accuracy under complex real-world conditions. Example 10:

[0149] In step six, the incremental model update algorithm based on meta-learning and Bayesian optimization includes:

[0150] The meta-gradient fast adaptation of model parameters is achieved by using the Model Independent Meta-Learning (MAML) framework, which enables the model to adapt quickly based on a small number of new samples.

The model in the task It's training loss. It is a loss function The gradient of the meta-parameters, It is the inner loop learning rate. The model in the task The parameters after rapid adaptation The model in the task Test loss, From task distribution Multiple tasks in mid-sampling Sum of losses;

[0152] The update strategy optimization based on Bayesian inference is to model the model update decision as a Bayesian optimization problem, balancing exploration and exploitation;

[0153] Update the payoff function In formula (7), the utility function , It is the KL divergence. It is an existing distributed model. It is to quantify the distribution of the new model. It is a compromise factor. These are the parameters of the candidate model to be evaluated. These are the current optimal parameters. It is the expectation operator. It is a non-negative truncation function. Experiments were conducted on a GPU server cluster in a cloud-based diagnostic center, using the PyTorch 1.12.0 and GPyOpt libraries. The basic diagnostic model was a pre-trained multimodal Transformer model. The simulated data stream contained monitoring data from five consecutive time periods, each introducing a new partial discharge mode or operating condition change (such as surface discharge under different humidity conditions). Each new task provided only 20 labeled samples (small sample condition). The tradeoff coefficient β was set to 0.8. The algorithm of this invention (denoted as MAML-BO, i.e., meta-learning and Bayesian optimization) was compared with three methods: traditional full-data fine-tuning, naive fine-tuning using only new data, and random search-based model updates.

[0154] The main focus is on the model's average accuracy on new tasks (reflecting its ability to adapt quickly), average accuracy on old tasks (reflecting its ability to resist forgetting), and the average number of updates required to achieve the target performance.

[0155] Experimental implementation process:

[0156] Meta-training phase: The MAML framework is meta-trained using a large number of historical tasks to obtain a meta-model with good initialization parameters.

[0157] Incremental update phase: When a new task arrives, the MAML-BO algorithm performs fast gradient adaptation according to formulas (5) and (6) to generate candidate models; then, based on the expectation boosting criterion of formula (7), the optimal update strategy is selected through Bayesian optimization. Other comparative methods use their respective strategies for updating.

[0158] Performance evaluation: After each update cycle, evaluate the model performance on an independent test set containing both new and old tasks, repeat the experiment 5 times and take the average value.

[0159] Table 3 shows the performance comparison results of different model update algorithms after 5 incremental learning stages.

[0160] Table 3 Performance Comparison of Different Incremental Model Update Algorithms

[0161]

[0162] The algorithm of this invention (MAML-BO) achieves the highest recognition accuracy on new tasks while minimizing forgetting of old tasks, demonstrating its efficiency in rapidly adapting to new knowledge and maintaining existing knowledge under small sample conditions. Furthermore, the algorithm requires significantly fewer updates to reach the target performance compared to comparative methods, showcasing the efficiency of its optimization process. This is primarily due to the MAML framework's use of meta-gradient updates to achieve good parameter initialization, enabling the model to quickly adapt to new tasks with a small gradient step size. Meanwhile, Bayesian optimization intelligently finds update strategies that simultaneously improve performance on new tasks without severely impairing performance on old tasks by balancing exploration and utilization. This effectively solves the stability-plasticity dilemma in incremental learning, ensuring the diagnostic model maintains high performance throughout its long-term evolution.
