[0021] In the embodiments of this application, the words "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of the words "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.
[0022] Research has revealed that traditional transformer operation and maintenance generally employs a periodic inspection and monitoring model based on a single parameter threshold. This model has significant drawbacks: fixed-cycle inspections lack specificity, potentially leading to over-maintenance or under-maintenance, wasting resources and creating safety hazards; traditional monitoring methods, such as electrical quantity and oil chromatography analysis, are insufficient to sensitively and accurately capture the internal mechanical state of the transformer, such as the gradual changes in winding deformation, core loosening, and insulation deterioration, failing to provide early warning of faults.
[0023] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a method for synergistic optimization of the operating status and energy efficiency of distribution network transformers: Example
[0024] To solve the above problems, such as Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment focuses on the intelligent operation and maintenance management of the main transformer in a key hub substation in the central business district of a large city. The power supply load in this area exhibits significant temporal periodicity, with highly concentrated commercial load during the day and residential power consumption dominating at night, showing a clear difference in load characteristics between weekdays and holidays. As a critical piece of equipment in the power grid, the transformer gradually enters a period of performance change after long-term operation. Traditional monitoring methods are insufficient to accurately assess the gradual changes in its internal mechanical state, let alone optimize and adjust operating parameters based on its health status.
[0025] At the data perception level, the system constructs a multi-dimensional information synchronous acquisition system. Acoustic sensors are responsible for capturing the characteristic sounds generated by the magnetostriction of the transformer core, the specific frequency sound waves formed by the vibration of the windings, and the transient acoustic signals caused by partial discharge; vibration sensors monitor the mechanical vibration state of the transformer body and auxiliary support structure, covering a wide frequency band of vibration characteristics from low frequency to high frequency; the load monitoring unit records the transformer load change process, forming a complete load time sequence characteristic.
[0026] The feature fusion processing link adopts a deep neural network architecture to realize intelligent feature extraction. The acoustic signal is processed by time-frequency transformation and converted into a time-frequency spectrum to input a convolutional neural network, which automatically learns the harmonic distribution characteristics and transient acoustic patterns. The vibration signal is decomposed and the features are mined to extract the energy distribution and vibration modal characteristics of each frequency band. The load data is analyzed for time series features to capture the load change pattern. The system innovatively introduces a weighted fusion mechanism to automatically adjust the fusion weights of acoustic and vibration features according to the current load level of the transformer: in the low load state, the acoustic feature analysis is emphasized, and in the high load state, the vibration feature analysis is emphasized, realizing adaptive matching of the sensing focus and operating conditions.
[0027] In the health benchmark construction phase, the system establishes standard health templates for each load interval based on long-term historical operation data. First, the load range of the transformer is divided into multiple continuous intervals. For each load interval, the set of acoustic and vibration features under normal state in the interval is extracted, and through feature dimension reduction and time series smoothing processing, a feature template representing the health state of the load interval is formed. All templates together form a hierarchical health feature library of the transformer, which serves as a reference system for subsequent health state assessment.
[0028] In the online monitoring phase, the system tracks the load level of the transformer and automatically selects the standard template corresponding to the load interval from the health feature library. By calculating the multi-dimensional differences between the features and the standard template, including spatial distribution differences and time series evolution trend differences, the system can sensitively capture state abnormalities. These difference indicators are converted into intuitive health scores after weighted fusion, and their change trends are calculated to provide decision basis for state prediction.
[0029] When the health score enters the warning interval, the system starts the energy efficiency adaptive optimization module. This module takes improving the health change trend and reducing the load response sensitivity as the optimization objective, and solves the optimal load setting value through a multi-objective optimization algorithm under the consideration of operation safety constraints. This setting value takes into account the improvement needs of the device health state and also considers the requirements of operation economy.
[0030] The system executes the optimization results through a closed-loop control mechanism. According to the actual operation requirements of the power grid, two control modes can be selected: the direct control mode accurately adjusts the load to the set value; the interval control mode constructs a safe operation interval centered on the set value and flexibly adjusts the load distribution within the interval. This differentiated control strategy ensures the feasibility of the optimization scheme in complex power grid environments.
[0031] This scheme realizes the technical leap from single parameter threshold judgment to multi-modal fusion intelligent evaluation in transformer state monitoring, the mode change from fixed period maintenance to state driven operation and maintenance, and the system upgrade from independent safety monitoring to safety and energy efficiency collaborative optimization. By building a complete intelligent operation and maintenance technology system, an innovative solution is provided for the whole life cycle management of important power equipment. Embodiments
[0032] As shown in Figure 2 , specifically: the transformer operating conditions under new energy power generation environment have significant particularity. The load characteristics of wind farm booster transformers are directly affected by natural wind speed changes, showing irregular and severe fluctuation characteristics; photovoltaic power station transformers need to cope with the power step changes caused by day and night alternation and cloud cover. This strong fluctuation operation mode makes the transformer bear the challenge of mechanical stress and thermal stress that traditional power systems have never encountered, and puts forward new requirements for equipment state monitoring.
[0033] The perception level is specially optimized for the characteristics of new energy scenarios. The acoustic monitoring module uses wideband acquisition technology to focus on capturing the transient acoustic characteristics generated inside the transformer when the power changes rapidly. When the power change rate exceeds a certain threshold, the system automatically starts the high-frequency sampling mode to record the transient process characteristics completely. The vibration monitoring module intensifies the monitoring ability of the frequency band directly related to electromagnetic force, especially the tracking analysis of winding and core vibration state during load mutation.
[0034] The feature extraction link innovatively introduces an operating condition recognition mechanism. The system analyzes the load change trend and subdivides the operating state into multiple operating condition modes such as steady-state operation, slow fluctuation, rapid fluctuation, and impact load. For different operating conditions, the system automatically calls the corresponding feature analysis strategy. For example, during stable operation, the focus is on analyzing the long-term evolution trend of the feature; during rapid fluctuation, the focus is on the instantaneous response characteristics of the feature; and in the impact load operating condition, the focus is on the peak value characteristics and recovery process of the feature.
[0035] The health benchmark library is constructed taking into full consideration the characteristics of new energy. In addition to the traditional load rate interval division, a health benchmark based on power change rate is established. The system records the normal response range of transformer acoustic and vibration characteristics under different power change rates, forming a multi-dimensional health reference system. This refined benchmark setting enables the system to accurately distinguish between normal power fluctuation response and potential equipment abnormalities.
[0036] The state evaluation module adopts a dual diagnosis mechanism. First, a rapid comparison of features and corresponding health benchmarks is made to generate a basic health score; second, cross-condition trend correlation analysis is performed to identify possible progressive degradation characteristics. When a feature is found to be abnormal in multiple operating conditions, the system raises the warning level and prompts the possible existence of a substantial defect.
[0037] The energy efficiency optimization module realizes the innovation of predictive health management. The system accesses meteorological forecast data, combines the current health status of the equipment, and predicts the operating environment that the transformer will face in the future period. When it is predicted that an operating mode that is not conducive to the health of the equipment may occur, the system generates an operating optimization suggestion in advance. For example, when it is predicted that there will be a continuous windy weather, the system suggests to appropriately smooth the power output, although a small amount of power generation income is lost, but the thermal cycle stress of the equipment is effectively reduced, and the insulation life is significantly prolonged.
[0038] The control execution layer adopts a flexible adjustment strategy. The system realizes the optimization adjustment of the operating state of the transformer by coordinating the output distribution of multiple power generation units in the new energy power station. Under the premise of ensuring the total output power, the load fluctuation of the transformer is smoothed through an optimization control algorithm, and the transient impact is controlled within the bearing range of the equipment. This preventive control based on the health status effectively balances the dialectical relationship between power generation benefit and equipment life.
[0039] The present scheme breaks through the application limitations of traditional monitoring systems in new energy scenarios, and establishes a special monitoring and evaluation system suitable for fluctuating loads. Through working condition self-adaptive perception, predictive health management and flexible operation control, a technical leap from passive bearing to active adaptation of new energy transformers is realized, providing key technical support for the reliable operation of power equipment under the background of high proportion of new energy access. Embodiments
[0040] As shown in Figure 3 , specifically: the transformer in the industrial environment faces multiple technical challenges: harmonic pollution brought by power electronic equipment, impact load caused by starting and stopping of large motors, cyclic load changes in continuous production processes, etc. These special working conditions not only accelerate the aging process of the equipment, but also make the extraction and identification of fault features extremely complex, and the traditional monitoring method cannot meet the precise diagnosis demand.
[0041] The perception layer adopts a multi-sensor cooperative working mode. The acoustic monitoring system is equipped with a high-range acquisition unit, which can simultaneously capture weak discharge signals and strong mechanical noise. Through advanced sound separation technology, the system effectively distinguishes the acoustic characteristics of the transformer body from the background environmental noise. The vibration monitoring network is distributed at key parts of the transformer, and a complete mechanical vibration panoramic view is constructed, providing sufficient data support for state evaluation.
[0042] For the industrial harmonic environment, the system develops a special electrical-mechanical correlation analysis algorithm. By synchronously collecting transformer electrical quantity signals and acoustic vibration signals, a quantitative relationship model between harmonic current and specific frequency mechanical vibration is established. When abnormal harmonic content is detected, the system automatically starts correlation analysis to determine whether harmful mechanical resonance has been triggered, providing an important basis for early fault diagnosis.
[0043] The feature extraction module adopts a fault-oriented design. Based on the analysis of a large number of industrial transformer fault cases, the system focuses on extracting feature parameters that are strongly related to typical fault modes. For example, for winding deformation faults, the system focuses on the asymmetric characteristics of axial and radial vibrations; for core faults, the system focuses on monitoring acoustic emission characteristics in specific frequency bands; for insulation degradation, the system focuses on analyzing the evolution rules of partial discharge acoustic characteristics. This targeted feature extraction strategy significantly improves the accuracy of fault identification.
[0044] The health assessment system adopts a hierarchical early warning mechanism. The system establishes a multi-level evaluation system from normal state, attention state, abnormal state to dangerous state. Each level corresponds to clear feature criteria and disposal suggestions. When the system detects a state change, it not only gives the current level assessment, but also predicts the time window of level change based on trend analysis, providing sufficient basis for operation and maintenance decision-making.
[0045] The diagnostic reasoning module combines mechanism models and data-driven methods. The system has a built-in transformer multi-physical field coupling model that can simulate the acoustic and vibration response characteristics under different fault types. When abnormal features are detected, the system starts a multi-hypothesis verification process, analyzes the matching degree between actual monitoring data and various fault simulation results, and gives the most likely fault type and its probability evaluation, realizing intelligent diagnosis from phenomenon to essence.
[0046] The system has been deployed and applied in multiple industrial scenarios, effectively addressing the monitoring challenges in complex electromagnetic environments. In the application of a large rectifier transformer in a certain steel enterprise, the system successfully identified early signs of winding looseness, issued an early warning, and avoided a major equipment accident. In the monitoring of an impact load transformer in a chemical plant, the system accurately diagnosed the insulation degradation problem of the core clamp, guided maintenance personnel to accurately handle it, and improved the reliability of the equipment. Embodiments
[0047] As shown in Figure 4 , specifically: the operation and maintenance of transformers in remote areas face three major technical challenges: communication conditions restrict data transmission, harsh environments affect equipment reliability, and limited operation and maintenance resources cause response delays. These factors collectively require the monitoring system to have a high degree of intelligence and autonomy, enabling it to complete equipment state monitoring and operation and maintenance decisions with limited external support.
[0048] The hardware platform adopts a fully sealed and robust design, with wide temperature range working capability, suitable for extreme environments such as high temperature, high humidity, and high altitude. The power supply system supports multiple energy complementary modes to ensure continuous and stable operation under power grid fluctuations. The core computing unit adopts a low-power architecture to ensure processing performance under limited cooling conditions, meeting the long-term unattended operation requirements.
[0049] Edge intelligence computing is the core innovation of the system. The on-site device is built-in with complete signal processing and feature extraction algorithms, which can independently complete the whole process of data acquisition to health state evaluation. This architecture greatly reduces data transmission requirements, enabling the system to maintain effective monitoring under extremely low bandwidth conditions. The edge intelligence node has self-learning ability and can optimize the evaluation model according to the characteristics of the local equipment to improve the accuracy of state identification.
[0050] The communication module adopts intelligent adaptive strategy. The system adjusts the communication frequency and data content according to the device health state, power grid operating conditions and communication link quality. Under normal conditions, it periodically sends a simplified heartbeat signal, automatically increases the communication priority in abnormal conditions, and starts multi-channel redundant transmission in emergency conditions to ensure that critical information reaches the main station system reliably.
[0051] The state evaluation algorithm is specially optimized for remote areas. The system has strong noise suppression capability and can effectively identify and eliminate false features caused by temporary interference. The adaptive threshold mechanism established through long-term data accumulation enables the system to adapt to the normal state fluctuations of equipment with seasonal changes, avoiding false alarms caused by environmental factors and improving the reliability of the monitoring system.
[0052] The system innovatively introduces a neighbor device cooperative monitoring mechanism. Multiple monitoring devices deployed within a certain area automatically form a network, sharing state information and environmental data. When communication of a certain site is interrupted, neighboring sites will automatically strengthen monitoring coverage of the area, forming a redundant monitoring network to ensure no dead angles in monitoring. This distributed intelligent cooperation greatly improves the applicability of the system in remote areas.
[0053] The operation and maintenance decision support system fully considers the characteristics of remote areas. The operation and maintenance recommendations generated by the system not only include technical analysis, but also take into account traffic conditions, climate factors, resource allocation and other actual situations to provide the most economical and effective disposal scheme. For example, it suggests strengthening the inspection of key equipment before the rainy season, extending the monitoring period in areas with poor transportation conditions, and prioritizing the handling of high-risk equipment when resources are scarce, etc., to optimize the allocation of operation and maintenance resources.
[0054] In the large-scale application of the system in multiple remote areas, the system successfully achieved effective monitoring of numerous transformers. Since the system was put into operation, it has accurately warned of equipment anomalies multiple times, with an average early warning time significantly better than traditional methods. Based on the differential operation and maintenance of the system's accurate state evaluation, the regional transformer failure rate has decreased significantly, and the operation and maintenance cost has been effectively reduced, providing a successful example of intelligent management of power equipment in remote areas and having important promotional value. EMBODIMENT
[0055] As Figure 5As shown, specifically: In modern power grids, transformers often work in groups to jointly undertake regional power supply tasks. The traditional single-device independent optimization mode is difficult to achieve system-wide optimization, and there is an urgent need to establish a new optimization decision system from the perspective of group coordination, fully tap the potential of group coordination, and improve the overall operational efficiency of the power grid.
[0056] The group state perception network builds a unified data collection system to ensure time synchronization and standardization of transformer monitoring data. The system establishes a digital twin model for each transformer, mapping its health status, load characteristics, energy efficiency level, and operational constraints, forming a complete device state panoramic view. Through data fusion technology, dispersed device information is integrated into system-level cognition, laying the foundation for collaborative optimization.
[0057] The health status assessment uses a combination of relative and absolute evaluation methods. The system focuses on both the absolute health level of individual devices and their relative state position in the group. Through clustering analysis and pattern recognition, the system automatically identifies weak links and strong resources in the group, discovers complementary characteristics between devices, and provides multi-dimensional state information support for optimization decisions.
[0058] The collaborative optimization model uses a multi-layer optimization architecture. The bottom layer optimization aims to improve the health and energy efficiency of individual devices, determining the ideal operating range for each transformer. The middle layer optimization coordinates the load distribution of multiple transformers within a substation, achieving optimal operation at the station level. The upper layer optimization considers the overall power grid, coordinating the operation of multiple substations to maximize system-wide efficiency. This hierarchical optimization architecture ensures both local optimization and global coordination.
[0059] The optimization algorithm fully considers actual operational constraints. The system incorporates rich power grid operation rules and safety criteria to ensure that the optimization scheme meets key technical requirements such as safety verification, voltage quality requirements, protection coordination conditions, etc. Through multi-scenario simulation verification, the system can identify potential risks and avoid possible operational conflicts, ensuring the safety and feasibility of the optimization scheme.
[0060] The decision support system provides multi-dimensional visual analysis. Through health status heat maps, load distribution topology maps, and optimization effect comparison maps, the system helps operators intuitively understand system status and optimization recommendations. The system also supports hypothesis analysis, allowing operators to predict the consequences of different decision-making schemes, aiding in making scientific decisions and improving power grid operation and management.
[0061] The operation boundary management is a characteristic function of the system. The system adjusts the operation limits of each transformer according to the health status of the group, the load prediction results, and the weather environment factors. When the system pressure is large, the safety margin is appropriately tightened, and when the conditions allow, the potential of the equipment is fully tapped to achieve the balance between safety and economy. This adaptive operation strategy enables the power grid to maintain the optimal operating state under complex environments.
[0062] The successful application of the system in multiple regional power grids shows that transformer group collaborative optimization can produce significant comprehensive benefits. Through accurate state assessment and scientific load distribution, the average service life of equipment is effectively extended, the system operation energy efficiency is significantly improved, and the operation and maintenance resource allocation is more reasonable. This intelligent management method at the system level provides important technical support and practical experience for the digital transformation of the power grid, and promotes the power grid operation into a new stage of intelligent collaboration.
