Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a rapid configuration system for 3D scene visualization, and more particularly to a rapid configuration system for 3D scene visualization of substations, belonging to the field of electrical engineering technology. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, traditional substation operation and maintenance methods have suffered from inefficiency and fragmented management, necessitating technological innovation to address these issues. With the accelerated development of smart IoT, the demand for 3D substation scenarios is increasing daily. These scenarios are widely used in areas such as intelligent operation, digital twins and monitoring, intelligent inspection, and safety management. Utilizing 3D visualization, modeling, and virtual simulation technologies, substations can be simulated in 3D, improving operational efficiency and management levels. This integrates spatial information and business system data, enabling visual and interactive digital substation scenarios for comprehensive monitoring and timely early warning.
[0003] However, current 3D substation scene display technology is often applied to personalized scenarios, employing a customized development model. The development process typically involves laser scanning of a real substation scene to generate point cloud files, followed by secondary modeling to create a 3D model of the overall scene. This model is then loaded into the software system to display the substation's 3D scene, and business functions are developed based on this 3D scene, such as 3D scene roaming, viewing equipment ledgers, equipment alarm notifications, displaying camera resource locations, 3D video fusion, 3D spatial measurement, 3D scene inspection path planning, and inspection task compilation based on the 3D model. This development process has two drawbacks: First, each substation's 3D model needs to be modeled separately, preventing the reuse of equipment component models, wasting 3D resources, and increasing delivery time. Second, each substation's 3D model requires software developers to modify the program to adapt to the new 3D scene, failing to meet the requirements for rapid configuration and standardized implementation of substation 3D scenes, hindering engineering mass production, increasing development costs, reducing production efficiency, and making later project expansion and adjustments inconvenient.
[0004] In actual substations, the main and auxiliary equipment in Zones I and II are from the same manufacturer, type, and model in many stations. When modeling the overall 3D scene of the substation, the same equipment will be modeled repeatedly.
[0005] To date, the substation digital system project has not been mass-produced. If it is to be widely promoted in the future, the demand for 3D substation scenes will be huge. To shorten the construction cycle and control project costs, a fast and convenient 3D scene visualization configuration system is essential. Summary of the Invention

[0034] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of an embodiment of the present invention;
[0035] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the database structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0036] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0037] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the substation 3D scene visualization and rapid configuration system of this embodiment includes:
[0038] The dictionary management module is used to organize and classify commonly used information in the digital monitoring system of substations.
[0039] The component management module includes a component management library, which is used to bind commonly used information to the 3D models of equipment components created based on power equipment;
[0040] The template management module is used to save and manage templates for the 3D scene of the substation.
[0041] The configuration management module is used to build or generate substation 3D scenes based on equipment component 3D models, either from scratch or using templates. It also supports substation 3D scene preview and online editing.
[0042] The release management module is used to provide 3D scene functionality for the substation digital monitoring system by releasing the substation 3D scene as an official version.
[0043] Specifically, the dictionary management module is used to organize commonly used information in the digital monitoring system of substations to be processed, so as to facilitate the classification of business functions. According to the system needs, the commonly used information includes five categories of information management: equipment type, equipment model, equipment information, substation type, and substation information.
[0044] The component management module is used to provide dictionary data such as device type and device model for binding 3D models of device components. It supports importing and previewing 3D models of device components into the component management library and classifies imported 3D models of device components by device type and model.
[0045] The template management system is used to save templates of the substation 3D scene after it has been created. If a similar 3D scene needs to be built later, a new substation 3D scene can be quickly generated based on the template. It provides template preview and editing functions, supports adjusting the position, size, and scaling of the 3D models of equipment components to better fit the substation 3D scene, and also supports template copying.
[0046] The configuration management system allows for the rapid construction of a substation 3D scene based on the 3D models of equipment components. It supports building 3D scenes from scratch and generating new substation 3D scenes from templates, while also supporting previewing and online editing of the substation 3D scene. By selecting the corresponding equipment component 3D models from the component management library and placing them in the substation 3D assembly template, the layout and size of the equipment models within the substation 3D scene can be adjusted to quickly generate a substation 3D scene that meets functional and display requirements. When the page is opened, information from the configuration library is read to initialize the 3D component layout and component attributes. Furthermore, the configuration management system provides template saving and publishing functions. The template saving function saves the currently edited substation 3D scene as a template; the publishing function publishes the currently edited substation 3D scene as the official release version.
[0047] The release management refers to the provision of basic 3D scene functionality for relevant digital business systems through the official version built using a 3D substation scene. It provides a preview function for the officially released 3D substation scene, generates an independent access link, allows for independent display in a browser, and supports integration into the substation digital monitoring system.
[0048] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the rapid configuration system architecture for a 3D scene visualization of a substation, according to an embodiment of the present invention. This rapid configuration system is installed on the substation's digital monitoring system and features a unified data interface for data interaction with the substation's monitoring system, database, etc., enabling communication protocols with other substation systems and ensuring data real-time performance and accuracy.
[0049] This embodiment also includes a three-dimensional configuration database, which is the backend database of the substation three-dimensional scene visualization rapid configuration system. It is used to read and save configuration data. The configuration system functions include: dictionary management, component management, template management, configuration management and release management.
[0050] Dictionary management is used to organize frequently used information in the system, facilitating the classification of business functions. It includes five categories of dictionary information: equipment type, equipment model, substation type, substation information, and equipment information.
[0051] Component management is used for the management of 3D models of power equipment components. It establishes 3D models of equipment components for actual equipment in substations and imports them into the component management library in combination with indicators such as equipment type and equipment model, which serve as the basic materials for dynamically constructing 3D scenes of substations.
[0052] Template management is used to back up and reuse mature substation 3D scenes. Users can view the list of all saved templates in the template management module, copy templates to create new templates, and edit the component content and layout of templates.
[0053] Configuration management is the core function of the substation 3D scene visualization rapid configuration system. It is used to build 3D substation scenes for specific substations. In the configuration panel, users can quickly build substation 3D scenes by dragging and dropping, and it supports the layout and configuration of scene elements. Users can also bind 3D models of equipment components to actual equipment for later equipment ledger display and dynamic reflection of equipment status.
[0054] Release management involves officially publishing the substation 3D scene, enabling the provision of basic 3D scene services. It provides a substation 3D scene preview function, allowing users to view the currently published substation 3D scene. It supports generating independent URLs, allowing for standalone display of the 3D scene or embedding it into the substation digital monitoring system for business system integration.
[0055] The overall process involves importing and maintaining 3D models of power equipment components using component management to generate basic elements for a substation 3D scene. Configuration management allows for the creation of 3D scenes based on specific substations, with options for template-based or zero-based creation. Once created, dynamic assembly is possible by selecting equipment component 3D models, adding them to the configuration panel, and adjusting their position, scaling, rotation, and device binding to assemble a complete substation 3D scene. Templates can be saved for the current substation 3D scene for later rapid construction. Additionally, a publishing operation can provide basic 3D scene applications externally. Later, the corresponding substation 3D scene can be loaded into the substation digital monitoring system via a specific URL and parameters, achieving dynamic integration between the substation digital monitoring system and the 3D scene. From substation 3D scene generation to business application integration, the entire process utilizes dynamic configuration, thereby saving on substation 3D scene construction costs and improving production and assembly efficiency.
[0056] Figure 2This diagram illustrates the database structure of the rapid configuration system for 3D scene visualization in substations, as implemented in this invention. The top-level database of this rapid configuration system consists of an equipment type table and a substation type table. Below the equipment type table are multiple equipment models, forming an equipment model table. Below the equipment model table are multiple equipment and multiple equipment component 3D models, forming an equipment table and a component 3D model table. Below the substation type table are multiple substation information and multiple template information, forming a substation table and a template table. The 3D configuration table is bound to a specific substation, references the template table, and then imports the equipment component 3D model, including its position, translation, and scaling information. The equipment component 3D model is then bound to a specific device, forming the 3D configuration table. The publishing table is used to publish the substation 3D scene table, forming the publishing table, which provides basic 3D scene services to the outside world.
[0057] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of the present invention's concept are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principles of the present invention should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
