Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of steam turbine unit detection, and particularly relates to a steam turbine unit lubricating system federated learning degradation prediction method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The lubricating system of a steam turbine generator is a core subsystem of a key power equipment, and its operation state directly affects the safety and economy of the unit. The traditional degradation trend prediction method mainly relies on the monitoring data of a single unit to construct a prediction model, which has three technical defects: first, the modeling method based on single-point data cannot fully represent the overall degradation characteristics of a multi-component coupled system, resulting in localized prediction results; second, there is a data island phenomenon between different units, which is subject to data privacy and all authority restrictions, making it difficult to integrate cross-institutional data and limiting the model generalization ability; third, the existing federated learning framework has insufficient adaptability in the time series degradation prediction scene and cannot effectively handle the time-frequency characteristics and stage characteristics of the lubricating system degradation data.

[0003] The distributed learning method disclosed in the prior art mainly adopts a parameter averaging strategy, which fails to establish a model aggregation mechanism consistent with the equipment degradation mechanism, resulting in insufficient capture of the degradation inflection point by the federated model. At the same time, the traditional method does not consider the time domain correlation between the oil parameter and the vibration parameter of the lubricating system in the data preprocessing stage, resulting in insufficient feature extraction. In addition, the existing solution lacks an effective balance mechanism between privacy protection and model accuracy, and there is a risk of feature leakage during parameter transmission, affecting the feasibility of actual engineering application.

[0004] The core contradiction in the current field of intelligent operation and maintenance of lubricating systems is that improving prediction accuracy requires multi-source data support, while data privacy requirements limit cross-institutional data sharing. Although some research attempts to introduce transfer learning methods, there are problems such as poor model interpretability and long adaptation period for new units. The existing technology has not solved the following key problems: (1) time series alignment method for multi-unit degradation data; (2) federated representation learning mechanism for nonlinear degradation characteristics; (3) model generalization strategy for small sample units. These problems result in the existing prediction system having obvious prediction lag and high false alarm rate in actual application, which restricts the industrial application of intelligent operation and maintenance technology.
