[0002] The substation switch cabinet is the core equipment for realizing power distribution, control and protection in the power system, and its operation state directly affects the safety and reliability of the power grid. According to statistics, about 35% of substation failures are caused by internal partial discharge, contact overheating or mechanical jamming and other hidden dangers in the switch cabinet, which can easily threaten the safe and stable operation of the power grid and the safety of the staff when a failure occurs. Therefore, it is urgent to develop an intelligent monitoring device with multi-source data fusion capability and self-learning characteristics.
[0003] Currently, the traditional switch cabinet monitoring system relies on a single sensor to collect parameters and can only obtain isolated data such as temperature or current, which cannot fully reflect the overall operation state of the equipment and cannot realize the synchronous monitoring of multiple key hidden dangers such as partial discharge and gas state. It is easy to miss potential fault hidden dangers and difficult to meet the demand for comprehensive control of the operation state of the switch cabinet.
[0004] The existing monitoring device generally uses wired transmission mode, which not only has complex wiring and high construction difficulty, increases the cost of substation site reconstruction and maintenance, but also is easily disturbed by the strong electromagnetic environment in the substation, resulting in deviation or loss of monitoring data, which cannot guarantee the real-time and accuracy of data transmission and cannot meet the requirements of the power grid for real-time monitoring of equipment state. Moreover, the existing data processing method is based on fixed threshold alarm and lacks intelligent analysis capability combined with the operation characteristics of the equipment, often resulting in false alarm or missed alarm, which cannot accurately identify the fault type and severity in time and delays the fault disposal opportunity, which threatens the safe operation of the power grid.

[0041] During operation, the multi-dimensional sensing and acquisition system collects various operating parameters such as temperature, vibration, partial discharge, contact status, and SF6 gas parameters at key parts of the switchgear, and transmits these parameters to the edge intelligent processing unit. The edge intelligent processing unit extracts multi-dimensional features of the parameters through a dynamic feature extraction engine, combines them with the equipment feature database, and uses a hybrid diagnostic model to determine whether the equipment has a fault and assess its health status. The processed diagnostic results and health data are transmitted to the intelligent early warning and decision-making system through a multi-modal communication system. The intelligent early warning and decision-making system determines whether to trigger an early warning based on the data, pushes early warning information, and generates a maintenance plan, realizing real-time monitoring and intelligent control of the switchgear status, ensuring the reliable operation of the switchgear, and maintaining the safety and stability of the power grid.

Redundant design (dual power supply, dual communication links) results in an MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of 100,000 hours. This solution successfully diagnoses faults in substation switchgear, ensuring equipment reliability and the safe and stable operation of the power grid.
[0043] Example 2: Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides a method for online monitoring of substation switchgear status based on multi-source data fusion, including the following steps: Step 1, Sensor Deployment and Calibration: The sensors of the multi-dimensional sensing acquisition system are planned and deployed in key parts of the switchgear. Standard sources are used to calibrate each sensor online, and a sensor-channel mapping table is established. Step 2, Multi-Source Data Acquisition and Synchronization: Switchgear operating parameters are acquired through the multi-dimensional sensing acquisition system, and hardware trigger signals are used to achieve multi-sensor time synchronization. Step 3, Data Preprocessing and Feature Extraction: The raw operating parameters are transmitted to the edge intelligent processing unit for noise reduction processing, and a dynamic feature extraction engine is used to extract multiple data from the operating parameters. The method involves several steps: Step 4, Status Diagnosis and Health Assessment: The edge intelligent processing unit calls a hybrid diagnostic model to analyze the feature parameters, combines the equipment feature database to determine the switchgear fault status, and calculates the equipment health index; Step 5, Data Transmission and Cloud Collaboration: The diagnostic results and health index are transmitted to the intelligent early warning and decision-making system through a multimodal communication system. A virtual monitoring system is built based on digital twins and interacts with the SCADA system.

Data synchronization and preprocessing ensure data quality, feature extraction and model diagnosis improve the accuracy of fault identification, and cloud collaboration and hierarchical early warning assist in efficient management and control, ensuring that monitoring work is carried out in an orderly and accurate manner.
[0044] In this embodiment, in step one, an improved ant colony algorithm is used to plan the sensor placement, ensuring that the blind zone coverage of the switchgear monitoring is less than 2%. The temperature sensor undergoes two-point calibration using a constant temperature bath, and the partial discharge sensor undergoes gain calibration using a standard pulse generator. This allows the improved ant colony algorithm to optimize sensor placement, minimize monitoring blind zones, and ensure more comprehensive parameter acquisition. The two-point calibration and gain calibration ensure the measurement accuracy of the temperature and partial discharge sensors, avoiding data deviations caused by sensor errors and providing reliable basic data for subsequent data processing and diagnosis.
[0045] In this embodiment, in step four, the equipment health index is calculated using a pre-trained random forest model, and the SHAP value analysis method is used to rank the importance of features and select key features for health index calculation. This allows the random forest model to possess strong data analysis and prediction capabilities, accurately calculating the health index based on multiple features to reflect the true health status of the equipment; the SHAP value analysis method selects key features, reducing the interference of redundant features on the calculation results, improving the efficiency and accuracy of health index calculation, and providing precise quantitative basis for equipment status assessment.
[0046] During operation, the system first plans and deploys sensor points using an improved ant colony algorithm, and establishes a mapping table by calibrating the sensors with a standard source. Then, it collects parameters through a multi-dimensional sensing acquisition system, and achieves data synchronization via hardware triggering. Next, the raw data is transmitted to an edge intelligent processing unit for noise reduction and multi-dimensional feature extraction. Subsequently, a hybrid diagnostic model is invoked in conjunction with a feature database to determine faults and calculate health indices. Data is then transmitted through a multi-modal communication system to construct a digital twin system that interacts with SCADA, and the model is updated in the cloud. Finally, an intelligent early warning and decision-making system triggers tiered early warnings and generates maintenance plans. This entire approach enables accurate and efficient monitoring of the switchgear status, ensuring reliable equipment operation.
[0047] In this invention, "multi-source data fusion" refers to integrating different types of monitoring data, such as temperature, vibration, partial discharge, contact status, and SF6 gas parameters, acquired by a multi-dimensional sensing system. This data is then comprehensively analyzed and processed by an edge intelligent processing unit to fully reflect the switchgear's operating status and improve fault diagnosis accuracy. The "edge intelligent processing unit" is a hardware unit capable of receiving, processing, and analyzing data. It can perform real-time data processing close to the data acquisition end, reducing data transmission latency and improving monitoring response speed. The "multi-modal communication system" refers to a system that simultaneously supports multiple communication methods, including wireless and wired communication, allowing for the selection of appropriate communication methods based on the actual scenario. This invention employs several methods to ensure the stability and reliability of monitoring data transmission. The "digital twin virtual monitoring system" refers to a virtual model built upon real switchgear, capable of synchronously mapping the operating status of real equipment. This allows staff to intuitively grasp equipment conditions and assists in fault analysis and maintenance decisions. The "hybrid diagnostic model" combines multiple diagnostic algorithms or logics, leveraging the advantages of different models to improve the ability to identify different types of faults and reduce the false alarm rate. The "SCADA system," or data acquisition and monitoring control system, enables remote monitoring and control of substation equipment operation. In this invention, it interacts with the digital twin system to achieve data sharing and collaborative management. This invention uses a PHM (Prognostics and Health Management) predictive model, and can be extended to develop fault diagnosis and fault location methods for different types of substation switchgear equipment.
