Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of equipment environmental adaptability testing, in particular to a predictive testing system and method based on digital twinning and environmental Monte Carlo simulation. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the fields of power, communication, transportation and other critical infrastructures, a large number of equipment (such as optical cable splice closures, outdoor sensors, power transmission line accessories, etc.) are exposed to complex and variable natural environments for a long time, and their reliability directly affects the overall operation safety of the system. In order to evaluate the environmental adaptability of the equipment in the laboratory environment, the traditional method usually uses single or simply alternating environmental stresses such as temperature, humidity, vibration, salt spray for accelerated testing.

[0003] For example, patent CN114925916A discloses an important user power protection emergency auxiliary decision-making method based on digital twinning, which simulates power grid failure scenarios using Monte Carlo sampling to achieve risk assessment; another patent CN118228587A proposes a MCMC-based uncertainty analysis method for digital twinning of the reactor core, which quantifies the uncertainty of model parameters through the Bayesian framework. These existing technologies have improved the credibility and decision-making scientificity of system simulation to some extent.

[0004] However, the above methods focus on fault simulation or parameter optimization in virtual space and do not involve closed-loop testing of physical devices in real multi-physical field coupled environments. In the field of physical device testing, existing environmental testing equipment mostly applies stress based on pre-set static scripts or linear superposition models, lacking dynamic modeling capabilities for non-linear interactions between multiple environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, vibration, and chemical corrosion, and cannot reproduce cascading failure effects such as vibration-induced micro-cracks accelerating salt spray corrosion. In addition, the testing process is usually open-loop, and cannot dynamically adjust the testing strategy based on real-time state feedback of the tested device, resulting in low testing efficiency and poor correlation with actual aging process.

[0005] Therefore, one of the outstanding problems in the existing technology is: how to dynamically reproduce the non-linear coupling effects of multiple environmental factors in high-fidelity environmental simulation testing, and perform adaptive stress loading based on the real-time state of the device, so as to accurately predict the failure behavior and remaining life of the device in the real environment. This problem restricts the in-depth application of environmental testing technology in the field of predictive maintenance.

[0006] In view of the above shortcomings, there is an urgent need for a high-fidelity environmental simulation testing system and method that can integrate digital twinning technology. It not only has the ability to dynamically evolve multiple environmental parameters, but more importantly, it introduces a closed-loop feedback mechanism based on the perception of the internal state of the device, thereby realizing the transformation of the testing process from one-way loading to interactive adaptation, significantly improving the fidelity and prediction accuracy of the test.

The engine preloads the target environment model, which includes meteorological statistical data, historical extreme event data and accelerated aging model of the coastal area of Sanya in the past 50 years:

[0080] Online sensing network 310:

[0081] Online sensing network 310 is composed of 5 fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors, 2 micro-humidity sensors and 1 MEMS acoustic probe. The installation position and function of each sensor are as follows:

[0085] Health status evaluation and feedback control module 400:

[0086] The health status evaluation and feedback control module 400 is a hardware module based on an embedded system, which uses an ARM Cortex-A9 processor and integrates data acquisition interfaces, Ethernet communication interfaces and control signal output interfaces. The degradation model of the measured device 300 is embedded in the module.

[0090] Test method specific implementation steps:

[0091] Step one: target environment model configuration and initial parameter sequence generation (corresponding to method step S201)

[0092] An operator inputs target environment model parameters into the climate Monte Carlo engine 100 through a man-machine interface of an industrial computer, including meteorological statistical data in the coastal area of San Ya in the past 50 years, historical extreme event data and accelerated aging model parameters, and sets a test target as simulating a 20-year service life.

[0093] The climate Monte Carlo engine 100 starts an adaptive Monte Carlo evolution algorithm to generate an initial multi-dimensional environment control parameter sequence, a time resolution of the sequence is 1 second, a total time length is 2 years, the sequence contains parameter values in five dimensions of temperature, humidity, vibration acceleration, salt fog concentration and electromagnetic field intensity, for example, parameter values at a moment are: temperature 35 DEG C, humidity 85% RH, vibration acceleration 5g, salt fog concentration 0.5mg / m³, and electromagnetic field intensity 50V / m.

[0094] Step two: environmental stress application (corresponding to method step S202)

[0095] The health state evaluation and feedback control module 400 receives the initial multi-dimensional environment control parameter sequence output by the climate Monte Carlo engine 100 and converts it into control instructions of each environment parameter actuator 210:

[0096] A PWM signal is sent to a temperature controller to control a heating module of the temperature controller to work, so that the temperature in the test cabin 200 rises to 35 DEG C and the temperature is maintained;

[0097] A PWM signal is sent to a humidity controller to control a humidification module of the humidity controller to work, so that the humidity in the test cabin 200 rises to 85% RH and the humidity is maintained;

[0098] A digital signal is sent to a six-degree-of-freedom vibration table to control the vibration table to output a 5g, 100Hz sine vibration;

[0099] A pulse signal is sent to a biochemical micro-injection system to control a precision metering pump to inject a salt fog medium at a flow rate of 0.3 milliliter / minute, so that a 0.5mg / m³ salt fog concentration is formed through an atomizing nozzle;

[0100] The current signal is sent to the Helmholtz coil to control it to generate an electromagnetic field of 50V / m.

[0101] The environmental parameter actuators 210 work synchronously according to the control instructions to build an environmental stress field matching the initial parameter sequence in the test cabin 200.

[0102] Step three: device internal state parameter acquisition (corresponding to method step S203)

[0103] The online sensing network 310 acquires the internal state parameters of the device 300 in real time at a sampling frequency of 10Hz:

[0104] The FBG sensor converts the monitored strain and temperature signals into wavelength shift signals, which are transmitted to the data acquisition card through the optical fiber, and the data acquisition card converts the wavelength signals into digital signals;

[0105] The micro humidity sensor converts the monitored humidity signal into a voltage signal, which is transmitted to the data acquisition card through the wire, and the data acquisition card converts the voltage signal into a digital signal and calculates the internal and external humidity difference of the device;

[0106] The MEMS acoustic probe converts the monitored acoustic emission signal into a voltage signal, which is transmitted to the data acquisition card through the wire, and the data acquisition card converts the voltage signal into a digital signal.

[0107] The collected internal state parameters are transmitted to the health state evaluation and feedback control module 400 in real time through Ethernet, and the module pre-processes the data to remove high-frequency interference signals and outliers.

[0108] Step four: cascade failure threshold judgment (corresponding to method step S204)

[0109] The health state evaluation and feedback control module 400 inputs the pre-processed internal state parameters into the preset degradation model to calculate the device health index and judge whether each internal state parameter reaches the cascade failure threshold:

[0110] If the strain value monitored by the FBG sensor is ≤500με, the humidity difference value monitored by the micro humidity sensor is ≤20%RH, and the acoustic emission signal amplitude monitored by the MEMS acoustic probe is ≤50dB, i.e. HI≥0.8, it is determined that the cascade failure threshold is not reached, and step S202 is returned to continue applying the environmental stress according to the original parameter sequence.

[0111] If any internal state parameter exceeds the cascade failure threshold (for example, the strain value monitored by the FBG sensor reaches 550με, that is:

[0112] HI = 0.4(1-550 / 500) + 0.3(1-15 / 20) + 0.3(1-40 / 50) = 0.4(-0.1) + 0.30.25 + 0.30.2 = -0.04 + 0.075 + 0.06 = 0.095 < 0.8), indicating that the cascading failure threshold has been reached, and step S205 is executed.

[0113] In this embodiment, when the test ran for 0.6 years of accelerated laboratory time, the FBG sensor detected that the strain value at the stress concentration point of the device under test 300 shell reached 550με, and determined that the cascade failure threshold had been reached.

[0114] Step 5: Adjust the environmental parameter sequence (corresponding to step S205)

[0115] The health status assessment and feedback control module 400 dynamically adjusts the evolution algorithm parameters of the climate Monte Carlo engine 100 based on the internal state parameters that have reached the cascading failure threshold, and corrects the multidimensional environmental control parameter sequence.

[0116] In the evolutionary algorithm of the climate Monte Carlo Engine 100 The value was adjusted from the initial 0.2 to -0.3, which reduces the degree of drastic change in environmental parameters through negative adjustment and avoids rapid equipment failure;

[0117] The salt spray concentration parameter in the multidimensional environmental control parameter sequence was modified by increasing the salt spray concentration in the original sequence by 50% (e.g., from 0.5 mg / m³ to 0.75 mg / m³) to simulate the cascade failure effect of microcracks accelerating salt spray corrosion.

[0118] A control command is sent to the biochemical micro-injection system to increase the injection flow rate of the salt spray medium from 0.3 mL / min to 0.45 mL / min, maintaining the corrected salt spray concentration.

[0119] The adjusted multidimensional environmental control parameter sequence is fed back to the climate Monte Carlo engine 100 via Ethernet. The engine continues to generate subsequent parameter sequences based on the adjusted algorithm parameters, returns to step S202, and applies environmental stress according to the corrected parameter sequence.

[0120] Step Six: Construction of Aging Digital Twin Model and Prediction of Remaining Effective Life (Corresponding Method Step S206)

[0121] When the test reaches the second year of the accelerated laboratory duration, the test termination condition is triggered. The health status assessment and feedback control module 400 integrates the time series data of internal status parameters collected throughout the test and inputs it into the aging digital twin model for training.

[0122] The neural network is trained using the backpropagation algorithm with the environmental parameter sequence of the entire test as input data and the corresponding internal state parameter sequence as output data.

[0123] During training, the loss function is calculated every 100 iterations. When the iteration reaches 5000, the loss function drops to 0.0008, satisfying the convergence condition. Training is then stopped, and the final aging digital twin model is obtained.

[0124] Based on the trained aging digital twin model, the current internal state parameters of the device under test 300 are input, and the model outputs the future evolution trend of the internal state parameters. By integrating the cumulative damage of the degradation model, the remaining effective lifespan of the device under test 300 in the Sanya coastal area is calculated to be 2 years.

[0144] 1. System initialization and target environment model loading:

[0145] Start the climate Monte Carlo engine and load the preset target environment model, including meteorological statistical data of the target geographic location, historical extreme event data, and accelerated aging model.

[0146] Set the test parameters, such as the total test duration, termination conditions (such as device failure or reaching the preset time), and initialize the actuators and sensors.

[0147] 2. Generate initial environmental parameter sequence:

[0148] The climate Monte Carlo engine generates a set of initial multi-dimensional environmental control parameter sequences based on the target environment model, including time evolution data of temperature, humidity, vibration, salt spray concentration, electromagnetic field strength, etc.

[0149] 3. Environmental stress application:

[0150] The health state evaluation and feedback control module converts the generated environmental parameter sequence into control instructions and sends them to the environmental parameter actuators.

[0151] The environmental parameter actuators (including temperature controllers, humidity controllers, mechanical stress loading devices, electromagnetic interference generators, and biochemical micro-injection systems) synchronously apply corresponding environmental stresses in the test cabin.

[0152] 4. Real-time state monitoring:

[0153] The online sensing network collects the internal state parameters of the device under test in real time at a high sampling rate, including strain, temperature, humidity difference, acoustic emission signals, etc.

[0154] The collected data is transmitted to the health state assessment and feedback control module through the data acquisition card.

[0155] 5. Health state assessment and threshold judgment:

[0156] The health state assessment and feedback control module calculates the device health index based on the pre-set degradation model, and judges whether the internal state parameters have reached the cascade failure threshold (such as strain exceeding limit, sealing performance degradation, etc.).

[0157] At the same time, check whether the test termination condition is met (such as reaching the pre-set time length or the device health index being lower than the critical value).

[0158] 6. Feedback control and parameter adjustment:

[0159] If the termination condition is not met and the cascade failure threshold is not reached, the system continues to perform the test according to the current environmental parameter sequence, and returns to step 3.

[0160] If the cascade failure threshold is reached, the health state assessment and feedback control module dynamically adjusts the evolution algorithm parameters of the climate Monte Carlo engine (such as state feedback adjustment coefficient), and corrects the environmental parameter sequence to simulate the multi-factor coupling acceleration effect. After adjustment, return to step 3 to continue testing.

[0161] 7. Test termination and data integration:

[0162] When the termination condition is reached, stop applying environmental stress, and the health state assessment and feedback control module integrates all collected internal state parameter time series data.

[0163] 8. Construction of aging digital twin model and life prediction:

[0164] Use the integrated data to train the aging digital twin model, which uses a neural network structure with environmental parameter sequence as input and device state parameter as output.

[0165] Based on the trained model, predict the remaining useful life of the device under test in the real environment.

[0166] The whole process forms a closed-loop feedback control, realizes adaptive environmental testing based on real-time device state, and effectively reproduces the device aging process under the coupling effect of multiple environmental factors.
