At the same time, based on the spatial mapping relationship of the sensor, the fault is accurately positioned (such as impeller quadrant, bearing seat coordinates, pipeline direction), which provides clear targeting for operation and maintenance, and shortens the fault troubleshooting time.
[0015] Hierarchical early warning and operation and maintenance linkage improve management efficiency: Adopting "confidence + inherent risk" two-dimensional hierarchical early warning, realizing differentiated intervention (emergency shutdown, limited maintenance, regular troubleshooting), avoiding over-response or delayed processing.
[0016] Intelligent operation and maintenance promote industrial upgrading: The present application integrates multi-physical field data fusion, adaptive algorithm optimization, intelligent matching and operation and maintenance linkage technology, breaks away from the traditional dependence on manual experience monitoring mode, and promotes the intelligent transformation of the induced draft fan operation and maintenance of the thermal power plant to "data driven + accurate intervention".
