[0002] Hydropower plays a vital role in my country's energy structure. Hydropower units, as core equipment for power grid peak shaving, frequency regulation, and clean energy supply, directly impact the safety and stability of the power grid and the economic benefits of the power plant. During operation, hydropower units require monitoring and analysis of their overall operating status. However, existing methods for assessing the health status of hydropower units have shortcomings. They often rely on manual inspections and periodic maintenance, failing to achieve real-time and comprehensive monitoring of the unit's condition. Furthermore, while existing monitoring systems can collect various parameters, improvements are needed in data fusion analysis, comprehensive health status assessment, and early fault warning. As hydropower units develop towards larger capacity and higher parameters, the requirements for operational reliability and safety are increasing, necessitating a more accurate and efficient method for condition monitoring and health assessment. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides a method and system for comprehensive health assessment, status monitoring, and real-time alarm of hydropower units, which solves the problems disclosed in the background art.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A comprehensive assessment method for the health of hydropower units:

[0006] Obtain real-time operating parameters of all measuring points / indicators of the hydropower unit to be evaluated;

[0007] The real-time operating parameters are input into a pre-built measurement point / indicator evaluation model to calculate the health score of the measurement point / indicator.

[0008] The health scores of all measurement points / indicators are input into the pre-built component health assessment model of the component to calculate the component health score;

[0009] The health scores of all components are input into a pre-built comprehensive health assessment model for the unit, resulting in a comprehensive health score for the computer group.

[0010] Furthermore, the measurement point / index evaluation model is as follows:

[0011] ;

[0012] In the formula, N l For the health score of measurement point / indicator l, P lE represents the real-time operating parameter value of the measuring point / index l. l This is the alarm threshold for measurement point / indicator l.

[0013] Furthermore, the component health assessment model is as follows:

[0014] ;

[0015] ;

[0016] In the formula, l is a positive integer. Z i The score for component i is given by n, where n is the number of measurement points / indicators per component, and j is the score for component i. l b is the weighting coefficient for the measurement point / index l. l b represents the number of times that the measuring point / indicator l has experienced a failure or defect. t This represents the number of times that the measuring point / indicator t has experienced a fault or defect.

[0017] Furthermore, the comprehensive health assessment model for the unit is as follows:

[0018] ;

[0019] ;

[0020] In the formula, HI represents the overall rating of the unit, m represents the number of components in the hydroelectric unit, and w i Let a be the weighting coefficient for component i. i This represents the number of times component i has experienced a failure or defect. .

[0021] Furthermore, it also includes: removing outliers from real-time operating parameters.

[0022] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for monitoring the status of a hydroelectric power unit:

[0023] The health scores of measuring points / indicators, component health scores, and overall unit health scores are calculated using the above-mentioned comprehensive health assessment method for hydropower units.

[0024] The system displays the health scores of measuring points / indicators, component health scores, and overall unit health scores in real time, and monitors the operating status of the hydropower unit based on these scores.

[0025] The third aspect of this invention provides a real-time alarm method for hydropower units:

[0026] The health scores of measuring points / indicators, component health scores, and overall unit health scores are calculated using the above-mentioned comprehensive health assessment method for hydropower units.

[0027] When the health score of a measurement point / indicator exceeds the threshold, an alarm message for the health of the measurement point / indicator is issued.

[0028] When the component health score exceeds the threshold, a component health alarm message is issued;

[0029] When the overall health score of the unit exceeds the threshold, a unit health alarm message is issued.

[0030] The fourth aspect of this invention is a comprehensive health assessment system for hydropower units, characterized in that it includes:

[0031] The data acquisition module is used to acquire the real-time operating parameters of all measuring points / indicators of the hydropower unit to be evaluated;

[0032] The measurement point / indicator health assessment module is used to input real-time operating parameters and calculate the measurement point / indicator health score;

[0033] The component health assessment module is used to input the health scores of all measurement points / indicators and calculate the component health score.

[0034] The unit health comprehensive module is used to input the health scores of all components and the comprehensive health score of the computer group.

[0035] The fifth aspect of this invention provides a hydropower unit status monitoring system, comprising:

[0036] The status monitoring module is used to display the health scores of measuring points / indicators, component health scores, and the comprehensive health score of the unit in real time, and to monitor the operating status of the hydropower unit based on the scores.

[0037] The sixth aspect of this invention provides a real-time alarm system for hydropower units, comprising:

[0038] The measurement point / indicator health alarm module is used to issue a measurement point / indicator health alarm message when the measurement point / indicator health score exceeds the threshold.

[0039] The component health alarm module is used to issue a component health alarm message when the component health score exceeds the threshold.

[0040] The unit health alarm module is used to issue unit health alarm information when the overall health score of the unit exceeds the threshold.

[0041] The beneficial effects achieved by this invention are as follows:

[0042] This invention comprehensively considers the design and operation data of hydropower units to establish an overall health assessment model for hydropower units. By completing the hierarchical evaluation of equipment layer by layer, it ultimately achieves an overall health assessment of the unit (i.e., from measuring points / indicators → components → the entire unit). For units that exceed the safety and health threshold, alarm information and handling suggestions are pushed. This realizes equipment status monitoring and health assessment, enabling staff to have a more complete understanding and grasp of the unit's status, and providing decision support for the safe and stable operation of the unit.
