Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power equipment monitoring and diagnosis technology, and in particular to an online health diagnosis system, device and method for intelligent circuit breakers. Background Technology
[0002] As the core equipment for circuit switching control and fault protection in power systems, the health status of intelligent circuit breakers directly determines the safety, reliability, and stability of power system operation. With the development of power systems towards ultra-high voltage and intelligent operation, the operating environment of circuit breakers is becoming increasingly complex. Environmental stresses such as pollution and drastic changes in temperature and humidity continuously act on the insulation structure of circuit breakers, easily leading to insulation aging and performance degradation, which in turn causes equipment failure and serious consequences such as large-scale power outages.
[0003] Existing circuit breaker health diagnostic technologies mostly rely on periodic offline testing or monitoring of single electrical parameters, which has significant limitations:
[0004] Offline detection requires interrupting device operation, resulting in high maintenance costs and an inability to capture real-time degradation processes in dynamic environments;
[0005] Single-parameter monitoring ignores the dynamic correlation between environmental stress and electrical response, and is prone to misjudgment or omission due to environmental interference;
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to build an online diagnostic system that can sense environmental stress in real time, monitor electrical response synchronously, establish dynamic correlation models, and realize multi-dimensional degradation assessment, so as to solve the problems of diagnostic lag, insufficient accuracy, and poor targeting in existing technologies.

[0098] A high-stress event is defined as the occurrence of any of the following conditions:
[0099] Comprehensive index of sewage and wetness The value exceeds the preset threshold and continues for the preset allowed duration;
[0100] When the measured temperature is close to the dew point temperature and the humidity is ≥85%. When the condensation warning signal is triggered;
[0101] The equivalent salt density reaches the preset percentage (80%) of the maximum permissible equivalent salt density.
[0102] The electrical response synchronous monitoring module is configured to use GPS / BeiDou dual-mode synchronous technology to synchronously collect leakage current, partial discharge, and insulation temperature signals during environmental stress changes. After preprocessing, key electrical features are extracted to ensure spatiotemporal alignment of environmental and electrical data.
[0103] Specifically, it includes:
[0104] When a high-stress event occurs, the following data acquisition is triggered:
[0105] Leakage current data: The wideband Rogowski coil micro-current sensor is installed at the grounding lead of the circuit breaker insulator. The through-type installation is used to ensure that the lead is aligned with the center of the sensor to reduce electromagnetic interference.
[0106] Partial discharge data: A UHF sensor (center frequency 500MHz~1.5GHz, gain ≥20dB) and an HFCT sensor (bandwidth 1MHz~100MHz, sensitivity 1mV / mA) are used, with a dual-sensor redundancy design; the UHF sensor is adsorbed on the outside of the arc-extinguishing chamber shell (near the insulating tie rod), and the HFCT sensor is sleeved on the grounding lead; the sensor shell is grounded, and the cable uses a shielded grounded coaxial cable to resist interference;
[0107] Insulation temperature data: High-temperature adhesive is used to attach distributed optical fiber temperature sensors to the surface of the basin insulator and both ends of the insulating rod. The optical fiber route avoids the high-voltage conductor and the bending radius is ≥20mm.
[0108] The acquired data is synchronized using a GPS / BeiDou dual-mode synchronization module combined with a local crystal oscillator; and it is synchronized with the satellite clock once every hour to complete the synchronization calibration.
[0109] Each type of data is preprocessed accordingly (the preprocessing process is a direct reference to existing technology and will not be elaborated here).
[0110] Leakage current processing: Wavelet denoising is used to eliminate white noise, and the power frequency component and the effective values of each harmonic are extracted, where:
[0111] Extract the fundamental RMS value, third harmonic (150Hz) RMS value, and fifth harmonic (250Hz) RMS value from the leakage current data, and calculate the total harmonic distortion rate.
[0112] Partial discharge processing: Pulse classification is performed, external interference is eliminated, and a phase-resolved spectrum (PRPD) is generated, in which:
[0113] Based on partial discharge data, with the power frequency voltage phase (0°~360°) as the horizontal axis and the discharge quantity as the vertical axis, the number of discharges in each phase interval is counted to generate a PRPD spectrum with a resolution of 256×256. The discharge initiation voltage, average discharge quantity (average amplitude of all discharge pulses), skewness (reflecting the asymmetry of the spectrum distribution), and kurtosis are extracted from the PRPD spectrum.
[0114] Insulation temperature processing: The 3σ criterion is used to remove outliers in the temperature data, and the temperature characteristics of each monitoring point on the insulation surface are calculated, including average temperature, maximum temperature rise, and temperature gradient.

[0116] Specifically, it includes:
[0117] Environmental feature set, including the combined pollutant and wet index and its 10-minute rate of change , ;
[0118] Derived features:
[0119] Duration of continuous high humidity: humidity ≥ 80% The continuous duration (in minutes), exceeding 2 hours is counted as 2 hours;
[0120] Temperature cycle count: Count once when the daily temperature difference (highest temperature - lowest temperature) is >15℃, and reset to zero daily;
[0121] Rate of dirt accumulation: A negative value indicates the loss of filth;
[0122] Cumulative condensation duration: The cumulative duration of condensation signals within the current day;
[0123] The electrical feature set includes the fundamental RMS value, the ratio of the third harmonic to the fundamental value, the pulse peak value, the total harmonic distortion rate, the correlation dimension (reflecting the complexity of the current signal, which increases significantly with insulation degradation), and the maximum Lyapunov exponent (reflecting the chaotic characteristics of the signal, with a positive exponent indicating signal chaos) calculated through phase space reconstruction (embedding dimension m=5, delay time τ=2).
[0124] It also includes the discharge initiation voltage, average discharge quantity, PRPD spectrum skewness, kurtosis, discharge phase concentration (discharge phase concentration = number of discharges in the 10° phase interval with the most discharges / total number of discharges (C_phase will increase when insulation degrades)), maximum discharge quantity, and discharge frequency in the partial discharge characteristics;
[0125] It also includes temperature characteristics such as insulation surface temperature rise, temperature gradient, and temperature response hysteresis time: the time it takes for the insulation surface temperature to reach a stable value after a change in ambient temperature.
[0126] Time series analysis methods (such as Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) or Transfer Entropy) and machine learning models (such as LSTM networks) are used to establish a mapping from environmental features to electrical features.
[0127] The time series of environmental and electrical features are aligned using Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) (to address the issue of response lag between the two), and the similarity distance between the two series is calculated. The smaller the distance, the stronger the correlation. The similarity distance is Euclidean distance, which is a direct reference to existing technology and will not be elaborated here.
[0128] Machine learning models specifically include:
[0129] Input characteristics: comprehensive pollution and wetness index, relative humidity, ambient temperature, duration of continuous high humidity, and electrical characteristics at the first two monitoring times;
[0130] Output characteristics: Predicted values of the target electrical characteristics;
[0131] Loss function: Mean Squared Error (MSE); Optimizer: Adam;
[0132] Training process:
[0133] Dataset partitioning: Historical data is divided into training set, validation set, and test set in a 7:2:1 ratio (the historical data must contain at least 100 high-stress events).
[0134] Data normalization: Min-Max normalization is used to map the feature values to the [0,1] interval;
[0135] Model training: 100 iterations, using an early stopping strategy (training stops if the validation set loss does not decrease for 10 consecutive iterations).
[0136] Model evaluation: A mean absolute error (MAE) of ≤5% on the test set is considered acceptable;
[0137] Model Example: Predicting the ratio of the third harmonic to the fundamental frequency in leakage current The LSTM model;
[0138] ;in, The composite environmental stress index at the current time t; The ambient relative humidity at the current time t; The ambient temperature at the current time t; The duration of continuous high humidity at the current time t; This represents the ratio of the third harmonic to the fundamental frequency of the leakage current at the previous time point (t-1). The ratio of the third harmonic to the fundamental frequency of the leakage current at the first two time points (t-2);
[0139] The global sensitivity analysis method (Morris screening method) is used to quantify the influence of various environmental characteristics on electrical characteristics:
[0140] Calculate the sensitivity coefficient: ,in, Let be the sensitivity coefficient of the i-th environmental feature to the j-th electrical feature; The change in environmental characteristics; This corresponds to the change in electrical characteristics;
[0141] The absolute values of the sensitivity coefficients of each electrical feature obtained from the calculation are summed, and the top 3 electrical features are used as the core indicators of early degradation.
[0142] A positive sensitivity coefficient indicates that the electrical characteristic value increases with increasing environmental stress, while a negative coefficient indicates a decrease, which is used to explain the insulation response mechanism;
[0143] Finally, we obtain the trained LSTM model, core feature set, sensitivity coefficient ranking table, dynamic time warping similarity matrix, electrical feature prediction values under given environmental stress, and 95% confidence interval.
[0144] The tolerance degradation assessment module is configured to obtain degradation assessment coefficients from three dimensions: self-recovery ability, safety margin, and aging rate, and match the corresponding health status level based on the degradation assessment coefficients.
[0145] Specifically, it includes:
[0146] Acquire historical data on the health status of the equipment within a preset period (first 6 months) after it is put into operation, and calculate the average value of the target electrical characteristics under the corresponding environmental stress (as a health benchmark).
[0147] When environmental stress decreases, the average value of the target's electrical characteristics is collected during that period;
[0148] The difference between the mean value under environmental stress and the mean value of each target electrical characteristic during the period of environmental stress reduction is obtained. The absolute value is then divided by the mean value under environmental stress to obtain the recovery deviation value.
[0149] A preset recovery deviation threshold is set, and recovery deviation values that exceed the recovery deviation threshold are recorded as abnormal recovery deviation values.
[0150] Obtain the recovery anomaly deviation values corresponding to each monitoring duration during the period of environmental stress reduction. Sort the obtained recovery anomaly deviation values in descending order of numerical value, extract the three largest recovery anomaly deviation values, take the average value, and record it as the recovery anomaly quantification value. Obtain the recovery anomaly quantification value corresponding to each electrical feature, and after normalizing each recovery anomaly quantification value, record the largest value as the anomaly determination quantification value.
[0151] A scientific self-recovery capability assessment system that fits the actual operating rules of equipment has been constructed, providing a precise degradation benchmark for health diagnosis;
[0152] Using the health data of the equipment in the six months before it is put into operation as a reference, it can objectively quantify the self-healing ability of the equipment after being subjected to environmental stress by calculating the recovery deviation of electrical characteristics after the environmental stress is reduced.
[0153] This comparison method based on its own health baseline avoids misjudgments caused by relying on general thresholds in traditional diagnosis. The logic of averaging the three largest abnormal deviation values and normalizing to take the extreme value highlights the degradation impact of key electrical characteristics (in line with the equipment health bottleneck effect) and eliminates the evaluation interference caused by the difference in the dimensions of different characteristics, making the abnormal judgment of self-recovery capability more targeted.
[0154] It can be achieved without adding additional sensors or complex detection equipment, simply by comparing the time series of existing monitoring data, thus reducing implementation costs. It accurately captures the latent degradation signals that cannot be restored to a healthy state after stress impact by restoring abnormal quantification values. These signals often precede the obvious manifestation of equipment failure, providing maintenance personnel with a basis for early intervention, avoiding the expansion of faults due to the continuous decline in self-recovery capability, significantly improving the reliability of smart circuit breaker operation, and reducing losses caused by unplanned downtime.
[0155] Take the device's health status, different The corresponding target electrical characteristic values are fitted with the 95% confidence upper limit and 95% confidence lower limit of the electrical characteristics using kernel density estimation to form a normal range;
[0156] Calculate unsafe values: ,in, The upper limit of confidence is 95%. This is the 95% confidence lower limit; This is the actual measured value of the electrical characteristic at the current moment; A function that takes the minimum value;
[0157] Obtain the unsafe values of each electrical feature, preset the unsafe value thresholds for each electrical feature, mark the unsafe values of electrical features that are greater than the preset unsafe value thresholds, and calculate the difference between the unsafe value and the unsafe value threshold to obtain the unsafe difference.
[0158] After normalizing the unsafe differences corresponding to each electrical characteristic, the values are sorted in descending order to obtain a normalized set. The time points corresponding to each value and the time differences between each adjacent value are extracted from the set. A time difference threshold is preset, and time differences less than the time difference threshold are recorded as abnormal time differences.
[0159] Obtain all outlier time differences, extract the smallest outlier time difference, and take its reciprocal to obtain the insecurity quantification value.
[0160] Kernel density estimation is used to fit the 95% confidence interval of electrical characteristics under the health state of equipment, replacing the traditional fixed threshold standard. This can fully adapt to the individual differences of different equipment and the special characteristics of the operating environment. The deviation of the actual measured value from the normal range is accurately quantified by the unsafe value formula. Then, the normalization process is used to eliminate the dimensional differences of different electrical characteristics, ensuring that the safety risks of each characteristic can be compared horizontally. The logic of screening out-of-threshold unsafe differences and analyzing adjacent time differences can effectively focus on key risk points and avoid redundant data from interfering with the assessment results.
[0161] By extracting the minimum abnormal time difference and taking its reciprocal, an unsafe quantitative value can be obtained, which can intuitively reflect the degree of concentrated outbreak of safety hazards.
[0162] The smaller the time difference, the more concentrated the risk; the larger the reciprocal, the higher the level of insecurity. This allows maintenance personnel to quickly determine the urgency of the risk. The entire assessment process relies solely on existing monitoring data and algorithm optimization, without the need for additional sensors or detection equipment. It has low implementation costs, strong compatibility, and can accurately capture hidden risks where electrical characteristics are close to the safety boundary but have not exceeded the limit. This provides a reliable basis for taking protective measures in advance and preventing failures caused by a continuous decline in safety margin.
[0163] Obtain the monthly average values of electrical characteristics within a preset time period, based on the exponential law of insulation aging: Taking the logarithm of both sides, we get: The aging slope was fitted using linear regression. ,in, The target electrical characteristic value at time t; The initial values of the target electrical characteristics at the initial moment;
[0164] Obtain the aging slope of each electrical feature. , and the various aging slopes After normalization, calculate each aging slope. The difference between the corresponding maximum permissible aging slope is taken as the absolute value to obtain the aging difference value corresponding to each electrical characteristic, and the largest aging difference value is recorded as the aging quantification value.
[0165] After normalizing the anomaly determination quantification value, the unsafe quantification value, and the aging quantification value, a weighted summation is performed to obtain the degradation assessment coefficient.
[0166] The weighted summation process includes:
[0167] The weighting factors for the quantification values of anomaly determination, insecurity, and aging are preset. The quantification values of anomaly determination, insecurity, and aging are multiplied by their corresponding weighting factors, and the sum is used to obtain the degradation evaluation coefficient.
[0168] Based on the exponential law of insulation aging, by fitting the aging slope through the monthly average of electrical characteristics, the gradual change trend of equipment aging can be objectively captured.
[0169] This quantitative method, which closely aligns with the physical nature of insulation degradation, can identify hidden risks of accelerated aging even when the threshold is not exceeded, compared to the crude judgment of traditional threshold exceeding the standard and triggering an alarm.
[0170] Meanwhile, by normalizing the dimensional differences of different electrical characteristics, the severity of aging is quantified by the absolute value of the difference between the value and the maximum allowable aging slope, and the maximum value is taken as the aging quantification value. This not only highlights the dominant role of key characteristics in aging, but also ensures the pertinence and objectivity of the assessment results.
[0171] By using a weighted fusion of three-dimensional quantitative values, a comprehensive assessment of health status was achieved, significantly improving the comprehensiveness and practicality of diagnostic results.
[0172] By performing a second normalization and weighted summation on self-recovery capability (quantified value of anomaly determination), safety margin (quantified value of unsafety), and aging rate (quantified value of aging), the system takes into account both the current operational risks of the equipment and the long-term degradation trend and recovery capability after stress impact, avoiding misjudgments or omissions caused by single-dimensional assessment. Furthermore, the weighting factors can be flexibly adjusted according to actual scenarios such as circuit breaker operating environment and voltage level, making it highly adaptable. The final degradation assessment coefficient can accurately match the health status level, providing maintenance personnel with a clear basis for when to maintain and what the maintenance focus should be, effectively reducing the risk of unplanned downtime and the cost of blind maintenance.

[0174] Please see Figure 2 An online health diagnosis method for intelligent circuit breakers includes the following components:
[0175] Deploy multiple types of high-precision sensors to monitor environmental parameters such as pollution, temperature, and humidity. After calibration and feature engineering, calculate the comprehensive pollution and humidity index to complete the quantification of environmental stress and the determination of high-stress events.
[0176] Based on GPS / BeiDou dual-mode synchronization technology, leakage current, partial discharge, and insulation temperature signals are simultaneously collected during high-stress events, and key electrical features are extracted after preprocessing.
[0177] We screened the core environmental and electrical features, constructed a dynamic correlation model using DTW time series alignment and LSTM deep learning, quantified feature sensitivity, and identified early degradation indicators.
[0178] Using the equipment health baseline as a reference, the quantitative values of the three dimensions of self-recovery capability, safety margin, and aging rate are calculated respectively to complete the tolerance assessment of each dimension;
[0179] The degradation evaluation coefficient is obtained by normalizing the three-dimensional quantified values and then weighting and summing them. Based on this coefficient, the health status level of the smart circuit breaker is matched.
