[0002] As a key component of the power system, the operating status of transformer bushings directly affects the safety and stability of the power grid. In recent years, with the continuous growth of power load and the accelerated construction of smart grids, the accurate identification of transformer bushing defects has become an important issue in ensuring the reliability of power transmission and transformation equipment.
[0003] However, existing bushing defect diagnosis technologies have significant shortcomings. Traditional univariate time-series analysis methods struggle to effectively capture the complex coupling effects of pressure fluctuations and gas diffusion, resulting in insufficient diagnostic sensitivity. This severely impacts the early warning capability of transformer bushing defects, increasing power grid operation risks and maintenance costs. The high false alarm rate of traditional methods fails to provide reliable data for equipment condition assessment and preventative maintenance, reducing power system operating efficiency and increasing the risk of sudden accidents, posing a potential threat to the safe and stable operation of the power grid.

[0055] Example 1
[0056] Please refer to Figure 1 To address the problem of insufficient diagnostic sensitivity in existing univariate time series analysis methods, an embodiment of the present invention provides a flowchart of a fault diagnosis method for transformer bushings, comprising the following specific steps:
[0057] S1. Acquire multivariate monitoring data of the transformer bushing; wherein, the multivariate monitoring data includes: pressure signal data and characteristic gas concentration data;
[0058] Specifically, the first step is to collect data from the transformer bushing monitoring system, including the pressure signal p(t) and the characteristic gas concentration C. s The historical time series data (multivariate monitoring data) of (t) were processed, and preprocessing operations such as time synchronization, missing value imputation and noise filtering were performed.
[0059] S2. Based on the pressure signal data and characteristic gas concentration data, construct the multivariate time series matrix corresponding to the transformer bushing, and calculate the time delay covariance matrix corresponding to the multivariate time series matrix;
[0060] Preferably, the step of calculating the time delay covariance matrix corresponding to the multivariate time series matrix includes: calculating the time delay covariance matrix corresponding to the multivariate time series matrix based on the multivariate time series matrix and a preset gas-liquid two-phase flow pressure fluctuation model, and correcting the time delay covariance matrix based on a preset equivalent diffusion tensor.
[0061] Specifically, after acquiring the multivariate monitoring data, a system is constructed that includes pressure p(t) and characteristic gas concentration C. g The multivariate time series matrix X(t) (where g is the gas type, such as H2 or C2H2):
[0062]
[0063] In the formula, Indicates time window T win The matrix consists of a multivariate time series matrix composed of pressure signals and the concentrations of two typical combustible gases; where tdiff and t react These are the diffusion characteristic time and the reaction characteristic time, respectively, determined by setting T. win =max(10t) diff 10t react This ensures that the signal contains complete evolutionary information.
[0064] Among them, T win The time window length is selected to meet the requirement of the feature time scale ratio Π.
[0065] T win =max{10τ diff ,10τ reac t};
[0066] In the formula, τ diff τ represents the characteristic time of gas diffusion. react This indicates the characteristic time of the cracking reaction of the insulating medium.
[0067] After constructing the multivariate time series matrix, multivariate time series analysis (MTSA) is performed:
[0068] Because the gas release process inside the bushing is accompanied by disturbance of the insulating oil, it constitutes a typical gas-liquid two-phase flow system. According to multiphase flow theory, this system exhibits weak but measurable pressure fluctuations, and its covariance structure can be identified and quantified through multivariate time series analysis (MTSA) to capture the early micro-defect evolution characteristics. Based on the gas-liquid two-phase flow pressure fluctuation model, the time delay covariance matrix ∑(τ) is calculated:
[0069]
[0070] Where τ is the time delay parameter, Let be the mean of the observed sequence, and N be the total length of the time series. To enhance the physical interpretation of the characteristic directions, an equivalent diffusion tensor D is introduced. eff Furthermore, a generalized eigenvalue decomposition method is used to correct the traditional covariance spectrum structure, ensuring that the eigenvectors reflect the coupling perturbation characteristics of the gas dispersion and liquid medium response process.
[0071] (Σ(τ)+λD eff )v i =λ i v i ;
[0072] Where λ is the regularization parameter, λ i For generalized eigenvalues, v i The eigenvectors are used to ensure that they reflect the physical characteristics of the diffusion process.
[0073] S3. Perform eigenvalue decomposition on the time delay covariance matrix to obtain the time-series features corresponding to the transformer bushing, and fuse the time-series features and the physical parameter features corresponding to the transformer bushing to obtain the corresponding fused features; wherein, the physical parameter features include: porosity and activation energy;
[0074] Specifically, after calculating the time delay covariance matrix, feature extraction and fusion are performed:
[0075] The MTSA (Multivariate Time Series Analysis) module described above first constructs a multivariate time series matrix: Secondly, a covariance matrix with time delay is constructed to reflect the lag coupling in the time series; then, an equivalent diffusion tensor is introduced to correct the covariance spectrum.
[0076] Then, eigenvalue decomposition is performed on the correction matrix to extract the principal eigenvectors as temporal evolution features. The extracted temporal features include: the main direction of gas concentration change (e.g., cracking trend), pressure-concentration coupling change patterns, and evolutionary path information before abrupt changes (crucial for early diagnosis). Then, the temporal features F extracted by MTSA are... time Physical parameters P of the insulating dielectric pyrolysis model phys (such as porosity φ, activation energy E) a The data structure features of the evolutionary process are fused with those of other data sources to obtain fused features. This fused feature retains the data structure features of the evolutionary process while embedding the physical prior knowledge of the pyrolysis behavior, achieving an effective unification of feature representation and diagnostic modeling in terms of interpretability and generalization ability. Specifically, the pyrolysis gas model of the insulating medium borrows from the material thermal diffusion equation and combines it with the gas generation rate under temperature and pressure conditions to form a coupled differential model, providing physical consistency constraints for deep network training. The resulting fused feature is F:
[0077]
[0078] Among them, W p The weight matrix for the physical parameters, This is a feature splicing operation.
[0079] S4. Input the fused features into a preset transformer bushing fault identification model so that the transformer bushing fault identification model can identify faults in the transformer bushing based on the fused features, determine whether the transformer bushing has a fault and identify the corresponding fault type, and output the fault identification result and the corresponding fault type of the transformer bushing.
[0080] Preferably, the transformer bushing fault identification model is a deep belief network containing several layers of restricted Boltzmann machines; the energy function of the restricted Boltzmann machine is:
[0081]
[0082] Among them, E l (v, h) is the energy function of the restricted Boltzmann machine, where v and h are the visible layer unit and the hidden layer unit, respectively; n v n is the number of visible layer cells; h v is the number of hidden layer units; i The state of the i-th visible layer unit; h j This represents the state of the j-th hidden layer unit; For connection weights; and γ is the bias term; Γ is the gas generation rate. g The weighting coefficients of (T,p); v g denoted as the characteristic gas concentration corresponding to the g-th visible layer unit.
[0083] Specifically, the steps for transformer fault identification include:
[0084] (1) Deep Belief Network (DBN) Structure Design:
[0085] This invention employs a deep belief network (DBN) constructed from stacked multilayer Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs) to model high-order features of pressure gas-related signals. The energy function of each RBM layer incorporates physical prior design to extract latent feature representations related to early pyrolysis signs from the original multivariate time-series data. Considering the diffusion dynamics of pyrolysis gases in insulating media, the energy function of each Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM) layer is designed, as shown in the equation above.
[0086] This invention introduces a rate constraint term based on the diffusion dynamics of pyrolysis gas in insulating media into the RBM energy function, and constructs a physical prior-driven deep probabilistic model to ensure that the learned features are consistent with the generation mechanism and transport behavior of pyrolysis gas, thereby improving the accuracy and interpretability of anomaly detection.
[0087] (2) Model training:
[0088] CD-K (Contrastive Divergence-K-step) is an efficient approximation algorithm for training Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs) to maximize the probability of training samples. The pre-training objects are the RBM modules of each layer in the DBN (i.e., the unsupervised weights from the visible layer to the hidden layer); the input data is the concatenation of temporal features and physical parameters extracted by MTSA.
[0089] The pre-training process can be described as follows: (1) Input the input feature V into the RBM and calculate the hidden layer activation value h; (2) Reconstruct the input based on h to obtain (3) Calculate the reconstruction error; (4) Compare the difference between the initial input and the reconstruction result and update the gradient; (5) Perform K-step Gibbs sampling to iteratively optimize the parameters until convergence; (6) After each layer is trained, continue training the next layer (layer-by-layer pre-training).
[0090] The contrastive divergence algorithm (CD-k) is used for layer-by-layer pre-training to minimize the corrected reconstruction error L. recon :
[0091]
[0092] In the formula, the second term is the residual of the diffusion equation of the pyrolysis gas in the insulating medium, and μ is the equilibrium parameter.
[0093] Based on pre-training, a softmax classification layer is added for supervised fine-tuning to optimize the cross-entropy loss function L. CE :
[0094]
[0095] Where, λ reg y is the regularization coefficient, W is the network weight, and y is the network weight. ic Let i be the true label of the i-th sample in class c. Let be the predicted probability of the i-th sample in class c.
[0096] (3) Model application:
[0097] The fused features are input into a deep belief network (DBN) model to complete the defect identification task and output the diagnostic results of the transformer bushing. The trained DBN (Transformer Bushing Fault Identification Model) plays the core role of fault identification reasoning in this invention. Its purpose is to classify and judge whether there are defects in the transformer bushing and their types based on the fused feature vector of time-series features and physical parameters.
[0098] Preferably, the method further includes: inputting the multivariate monitoring data and the fused features into the transformer bushing fault identification model, and extracting the state vector trajectory in the transformer bushing fault identification model; adding a preset disturbance variable to the transformer bushing fault identification model, and extracting the disturbance state vector trajectory after adding the disturbance variable; calculating the state difference between the state vector trajectory and the disturbance state vector trajectory, and then evaluating the disturbance response capability of the transformer bushing fault identification model based on the state difference.
[0099] Specifically, the present invention also includes the following steps:
[0100] S5. Diagnostic sensitivity analysis:
[0101] To evaluate the diagnostic system's response to minor disturbances (such as slight changes in gas concentration), the maximum Lyapunov exponent is further introduced to quantitatively analyze the sensitivity of the system's state trajectory to initial conditional disturbances. The Lyapunov exponent is a core indicator describing the stability of nonlinear dynamic systems, used to measure the rate at which the system amplifies or decays to initial small disturbances.
[0102] The "assessment and diagnosis system" mentioned here refers to the trained DBN model (Deep Belief Network). This system uses the fused feature vectors as input to automatically determine the state of the transformer bushing and output a classification label or probability. However, the "diagnostic sensitivity analysis" here aims not only to "classify" it, but also to further introduce the Lyapunov index to evaluate its stability and sensitivity, and to test whether the model has the ability to amplify early anomalies under small perturbations.
[0103] The steps are described as follows:
[0104] (1) Construct the state vector trajectory X(t) from the temporal features output by the deep feature model, such as gas concentration, pressure, etc.
[0105] The deep feature model refers to the fully trained DBN model, which is responsible for inputting the raw monitoring data (pressure / gas concentration) and the composite features fused by MTSA analysis and the physical model into the network to form a high-order feature vector representation, and then outputting a classification through Softmax. Furthermore, although gas concentration and pressure can be directly collected, the state vector trajectories used for Lyapunov assessment are not the original signals, but rather embedded spatial trajectories extracted from the model. Therefore, these states are not "directly collected" raw values, but rather evolutionary representation paths extracted and constructed by the deep model.
[0106] (2) Introduce a small perturbation δX(0) at a certain moment to construct adjacent initial states;
[0107] (3) Evolve the two state trajectories X(t) and X′(t), and record their difference δX(t);
[0108] (4) Calculate the perturbation growth rate λ max :
[0109]
[0110] Here, X(t) represents the pressure-gas state vector after time t. t is the evolution time (used for the Lyapunov exponent). A growth rate greater than 0 indicates the system is sensitive to disturbances and possesses the ability to amplify early anomalies; a growth rate less than 0 indicates that disturbances are absorbed by system stability, suggesting that anomalies are not easily detected. Furthermore, the essence of state evolution is: inputting an initial state (a combination of gas concentration / pressure features) into the model, performing model inference along the time step, and observing how its path changes in the feature space. To further evaluate the diagnostic system's response to early, subtle anomalies, the maximum Lyapunov exponent is introduced as a stability evaluation index. By introducing perturbations into the feature space extracted by the deep model and tracking their evolution trajectory, the system's ability to amplify perturbations is determined, thus verifying the model's sensitivity to identifying minor anomaly trends in actual operation.
[0111] S6. Interpretability Analysis:
[0112] To further enhance the interpretability and controllability of the system, a Jacobian matrix J is constructed based on the partial derivative relationships between physical variables to reveal the sensitive coupling path between pressure and characteristic gas concentration. The Jacobian matrix is a first-order partial derivative describing the system's multi-input, multi-output response relationship. Its construction is as follows: Assume the system has multiple output features and multiple input variables (such as pressure, gas concentration, and pyrolysis model parameters); calculate the partial derivative of each output function with respect to each input variable to obtain the complete Jacobian matrix, whose elements represent the "sensitivity of the output response to the input variables." By constructing the Jacobian matrix for gas concentration, pressure, and physical parameters, key variable paths affecting diagnostic accuracy can be identified, significantly improving the model's physical interpretability and controllability, and providing important reference for model deployment and engineering practice.
[0113] Combining the dielectric pyrolysis model, the Jacobian matrix J is obtained:
[0114]
[0115] Among them, F i Let φ represent the i-th output function of the model (corresponding to the i-th output feature), and φ be the porosity.
[0116] S7. Integration of material damage evolution models:
[0117] This invention integrates a material damage evolution model, incorporating key variables such as temperature, gas concentration, and stress into the modeling expression of damage rate. This not only enhances the diagnostic model's ability to explain the causes of defects but also provides a quantitative basis for predicting the future deterioration trend of bushings, effectively improving the scientific rigor and practicality of transformer operating condition monitoring. The model is not a standalone module, but is embedded in the aforementioned MTSA-DBN overall diagnostic framework as parameter input and constraints. The specific integration method is as follows: (1) Variables involved in the model (such as activation energy QQQ, temperature TT, gas concentration ∑Cg\sumC_g∑Cg) can be fused into the deep network input as physical prior parameters; (2) During the DBN training phase, residual terms related to the fracture / diffusion model have been introduced into the reconstruction loss function; similarly, the prediction rate of the material damage model can be used as a constraint term to participate in the loss control during the training process, thereby strengthening the physical consistency of the deep model output with the actual damage trend; (3) During the diagnostic phase, if the DBN output is "defect exists" or "fracture trend is enhanced", the model can be mapped in reverse to estimate the current damage accumulation rate, which can be used as the input basis for subsequent risk assessment or life prediction modules.
[0118] The process of bushing insulation performance degradation can be described as follows:
[0119]
[0120] in, Let A be the damage variable, σ be the material's intrinsic constant, and σ be the definite material constant. vM For von Mises stress, σ y Where is the yield strength, m is the stress exponent, Q is the activation energy, R is the gas constant, T is the temperature, and B is the coefficient of gas concentration contributing to the damage.
[0121] In a specific embodiment, the above-described fault diagnosis process is simulated to further illustrate the advanced nature of the fault diagnosis method. The simulation environment uses the MATLAB / Simulink platform, and the hardware configuration includes an Intel Xeon Gold 6248 processor (2.5GHz), 256GB DDR4 RAM, and 1TB NVMe SSD storage. The simulation model includes key components such as a data preprocessing module, a multivariate time series analysis (MTSA) module, and a deep belief network (DBN) module, which can realistically reflect the dynamic correlation characteristics of transformer bushing pressure-gas parameters and the defect diagnosis process. The simulation parameter settings refer to the technical specifications and actual operating data of large-scale power transformer online monitoring systems to ensure that the simulation results have practical significance.
[0122] Please refer to Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the comparative analysis of the diagnostic accuracy of the MTSA-DBN model, as shown below. Figure 2As shown, this embodiment compares the performance of the MTSA-DBN model with traditional MTSA and DBN methods in diagnosing five typical defect types. This figure, generated based on MATLAB code, uses a grouped bar chart format to enhance readability. From... Figure 2 As can be observed, the MTSA-DBN model exhibits significant advantages across all defect types. Particularly in partial discharge detection, the MTSA-DBN achieves an accuracy of 95.68%, a 15.15 percentage point improvement over the traditional MTSA and a 9.77 percentage point improvement over DBN alone. This result fully demonstrates the superiority of the proposed fusion model in extracting pressure-gas correlation features, particularly its significantly enhanced sensitivity to weak discharge characteristics.
[0123] The diagnostic sensitivity of the MTSA-DBN model under different hydrogen concentrations was further explored in the simulation environment provided in the examples. Figure 3-5 The model's performance was fully demonstrated. Figure 3 This is a main trend comparison chart of the MTSA-DBN model, showing the diagnostic sensitivity comparison of MTSA-DBN, MTSA, and DBN across the entire concentration range. Figure 4 This is a magnified low-concentration image of the MTSA-DBN model. Figure 5 This is a heatmap showing the performance differences between the MTSA-DBN model and other models. The results indicate that the diagnostic sensitivity of the MTSA-DBN model in the low concentration region (0-50 ppm) increased from 0.68 to 0.93, an increase of 36.76%, significantly higher than the other two methods. This result verifies the advantages of the proposed fusion model in early weak defect identification and solves the problem of insufficient sensitivity of traditional methods under low concentration conditions. Figure 4-5 Error analysis was further amplified in the low-concentration region (0-60 ppm). The MTSA-DBN method showed an average sensitivity of 0.81 and a standard deviation of only 0.02 within this range, demonstrating high stability and reliability. This result indicates that the MTSA-DBN model in this embodiment not only improves diagnostic sensitivity but also enhances its robustness under complex operating conditions, effectively addressing the problem of insufficient generalization ability of traditional methods when facing diverse fault modes.

The results show that MTSA-DBN performs best in all conditions, with an average feature extraction efficiency of 85.79%, which is 15.92 percentage points higher than traditional methods. This result fully demonstrates that the feature fusion mechanism proposed in this invention effectively solves the challenges of cross-dimensional feature alignment and temporal correlation modeling. Figure 7 and 8 Stability analysis further confirms the advantages of MTSA-DBN. MTSA-DBN achieved an average performance of 85.19% under four operating conditions, with a standard deviation of only 0.17, while the traditional method achieved an average performance of 68.71% with a standard deviation of 1.62.
