Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power system operation and maintenance safety monitoring technology, and more specifically, to a multi-source fusion safety early warning method and system for substation inspection personnel. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, power system inspectors often wear portable electric field sensors in substations to monitor the surrounding electric field strength and trigger alarms when it exceeds a limit. Existing technology generally uses a single, fixed electric field threshold as the alarm criterion; that is, a danger warning is only issued when the sensor's detected value exceeds the set threshold. However, this method has the following significant drawbacks:

[0003] (1) Alarm delay, unable to handle momentary dangerous actions:

[0004] While the electric field may not exceed the threshold when the inspector is standing in certain positions, the electric field strength can increase instantaneously if the worker suddenly raises their hand, approaches the equipment, or changes their posture. Since raising or reaching out usually takes less than 0.3 seconds, traditional methods based on fixed thresholds often fail to detect this in time. By the time the electric field exceeds the limit and an alarm is triggered, it is too late to prevent danger.

[0005] (2) The location of staff and inspection routes were not taken into account:

[0006] Inspection personnel move through the substation in sequence according to the equipment. The electric field environment, operation actions and operating logic of different equipment have obvious temporal sequence. However, traditional technology only makes judgments based on the instantaneous values ​​of sensors and cannot combine the spatial location of the staff (such as transformers, disconnect switches and other areas) to make risk inferences.

[0007] (3) Unable to recognize action status:

[0008] Electric field sensors are essentially passively acquired single-value signals. Existing solutions do not have the ability to identify actions through changes in electric field characteristics, and cannot distinguish between situations with completely different risk levels, such as "walking close to the device," "running close to the device," and "standing while operating the device."

[0009] (4) Lacks the ability to predict future dangers:

[0010] The behavior of inspection personnel in substations exhibits strong regularity and a typical state transition sequence, such as "approaching equipment → standing up → raising hand to inspect → leaving." Existing technologies do not utilize the historical behavior of inspection personnel to establish a time-series model, and lack the ability to predict in advance "what might happen next in a dangerous state."

[0011] In summary, existing technologies cannot enable substation inspection personnel to conduct comprehensive risk assessments based on location-action-behavior sequences, nor can they provide early warnings of sudden dangerous postures, posing significant safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

[0012] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as alarm lag, inability to identify actions, inability to integrate with inspection paths, and inability to predict dangerous behaviors, a multi-source fusion safety early warning method for substation inspection personnel is proposed, including:

[0127] Example 1:

[0128] This invention proposes a multi-source fusion safety early warning method S100 for substation inspection personnel, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0129] S101.

[0131] S103. Based on the estimation result, conduct state risk assessment, classify the evaluated state risk according to the preset warning level judgment criterion, and issue corresponding warnings.

[0132] Among them, determining the area where the patrol personnel are located during substation patrol includes:

[0133] After the typical channels and the front areas of the equipment in the substation are fully covered by the camera's field of view, use a vision algorithm to judge the area where the patrol personnel are located during patrol, so as to determine the area where the patrol personnel are located during substation patrol.

[0134] Among them, establishing the association relationship between the moving human body characteristics of the patrol personnel near the electric field of the substation equipment and the change of the induced electric field includes:

[0135] For the typical near-electric scenarios of the substation, establish a three-dimensional scene model, and through the finite element simulation of the three-dimensional scene model, obtain the electric field response characteristics of the electric field induction sensors worn on the heads and arms of the patrol personnel under different typical operation actions and different positions;

[0136] According to the response characteristics and the speed and acceleration change rules of the patrol personnel in the moving state, establish a judgment model for different moving states to judge the state of the patrol personnel.

[0137] Among them, the typical near-electric scenarios of the substation include:

[0138] Transformer area scene, disconnector area scene, instrument transformer area scene, circuit breaker area scene and distribution room area scene.

[0139] Among them, the judgment model includes:

[0140] G t =|dE / dt| < G1, judged as stationary / slow moving;

[0141] G1 ≤ |dE / dt| < G2, judged as walking;

[0142] |dE / dt| > G2, judged as running;

[0143] Among them, Gt is the electric field change rate, dt is the sampling period, E is the electric field modulus, and G1 and G2 are judgment thresholds.

[0144] Among them, the patrol Markov chain modeling includes:

[0145] Denote the substation working space as The spatial locations of the staff at discrete time t = 0, 1, ..., n are:

[0146] P t =(x t ,y t ,z t )∈Ω

[0147] Therefore, the wearable electric field sensor outputs the instantaneous electric field strength:

[0148] E t =E(P t ,θ t )

[0149] Where, θ t Indicates human posture;

[0150] The collection of substation equipment is denoted as:

[0151] D = {1, 2, i, ..., j, ...}

[0152] The substation equipment includes: transformers, disconnect switches, instrument transformers, circuit breakers, and power distribution rooms;

[0153] Therefore, the behavior of the inspection personnel can be discretized into a finite set of states:

[0154] X = S dev ∪S path

[0155] Among them, the device state set is: S dev ={S i,idle ,S i,hand |i∈D},S i,idle To stay / stand near device i, S i,hand To operate by raising your hand near device i;

[0156] Among them, the path state set: S path ={P i→jwalk ,P i→jrun |i,j∈D,i=j,(i→j)have an inspection path},P i→jwalk To walk from device i to device j, P i→jrun To run from device i to device j.

[0157] Markov chains only allow the following typical transitions:

[0158] S i,idle Convert to S i,hand S i,idle Convert to P i→jwalk or P i→jrun ;

[0159] On the path, only the following typical transfers are allowed:

[0160] P i→jwalk Convert to S j,idle P i→jrun Convert to S j,idle .

[0161] The estimation of the Markov chain and transition matrix during inspection includes:

[0162] If the staff state sequence {X} t If a chain follows a first-order discrete-time Markov chain, then:

[0163] P r {X t+1 =x j |X t =x i ,X t-1 ,…}=P r {X t+1 =x j |X t =x i}=P ij ,

[0164] in: Let P be the transition probability matrix. ij For P r The probability of transitioning from state i to state j;

[0165] Historical inspection routes Number of transfers:

[0166] N ij =#{t∣X t =x i ,X t+1 =x j},

[0167] Then: the transition probability estimated by maximum likelihood is:

[0168]

[0169] Where, N ij This is to count the number of transitions from i to j in history.

[0170] The formula for calculating the transition probability of the maximum likelihood estimate uses an exponentially weighted update:

[0171]

[0172] in, The transition probabilities are statistically obtained within a recent window, and λ controls the weight of new data. is the value of the element P in the transition matrix during the next inspection after weighted update ij . is the transition probability obtained by statistics within the recent time window.

[0173] Among them, the calculation formula for the assessment of state risk is as follows:

[0174]

[0175] Among them, R total (t) is the comprehensive risk index, α, β, γ are coefficients, and the sum of α, β, γ is 1. E lit and G lit are the standard limits respectively. E t and G t are the measured real-time electric field value and the real-time measured electric field gradient value respectively. R pred (t) is the predicted risk score.

[0176] Among them, the judgment formula for grading the evaluated state risk is as follows:

[0177]

[0178] Among them, 0 < p1 < p2, 0 < λ1 < λ2 are threshold parameters;

[0179] Among them, 0 represents safety, 1 represents potential danger, and 2 represents danger.

[0180] The following further illustrates the present invention in combination with specific cases:

[0181] Step 1: Obtain the area where the inspection personnel are located in the substation area:

[0182] Divide the substation into equipment areas and passage areas, install fixed cameras at the main transformer, switchyard, busbar area, passage corners, etc. The camera's field of view covers typical passages and the front areas of equipment, and judge the area where the personnel are located based on the existing monitoring devices in the substation and using vision algorithms.

[0183] Step 2: Establish the correlation between the characteristics of moving human bodies near the electric field of substation equipment and the change of the induced electric field:

[0184] For typical near-electricity scenarios in a substation (including areas such as transformers, disconnectors, instrument transformers, circuit breakers, and distribution rooms), first establish the corresponding three-dimensional scene model. Considering typical operation actions of inspection personnel approaching equipment along the passage on foot or running, raising the knife switch or checking the contact points beside the equipment, etc., based on finite element simulation, obtain the electric field response characteristics of the electric field induction sensors worn on the heads and arms of inspection personnel under different actions and different positions. At the same time, according to the speed and acceleration change rules of the human body in motion states such as walking and running, establish the determination of different moving states through the different frequencies and amplitudes of the electric field signal of the head sensor changing with time. The sampling period is specified as dt, and the electric field change rate is approximately:

[0185] G t =|dE / dt| < G1, it is determined as stationary / slow movement; G1 ≤ |dE / dt| < G2, it is determined as walking; |dE / dt| > G2, it is determined as running; when the known position is almost unchanged, if the electric field modulus value E obtained by the arm sensor undergoes a jump exceeding a certain proportion (for example, ΔE / E > α), it is determined as a raising hand operation near the equipment.

[0186] Among them, G1 and G2 are determination thresholds. Through the above model, the current state of the inspection personnel, including walking, running, and raising hand operations near the equipment, can be identified from the real-time signal changes of the electric field sensor.

[0187] Step 3: Modeling of the inspection Markov chain:

[0188] The working space of the substation is denoted as The spatial positions of the staff at discrete times t = 0, 1,... are:

[0189] P t =(x t , y t , z t ) ∈ Ω

[0190] The output of the wearable electric field sensor is the instantaneous electric field intensity:

[0191] E t =E(P t , θ t [[ID=۳۹]]

[0192] Among them, θ t represents the human body posture.

[0193] The set of substation equipment is denoted as:

[0194] D = {1, 2, i…j,…}

[0195] Respectively represent transformers, disconnectors, instrument transformers, circuit breakers, distribution rooms, etc.

[0196] To simultaneously characterize equipment position and operational actions, worker behavior is discretized into a finite set of states:

[0197] X = S dev ∪S path

[0198] Device state set: S dev ={S i,idle ,S i,hand |i∈D},S i,idle This indicates staying / standing near device i; S i,hand This indicates that you are raising your hand to operate near device i.

[0199] Path state set: S path ={P i→jwalk ,P i→jrun |i,j∈D,i=j,(i→j)have an inspection path},P i→jwalk Walk from device i to device j; P i→jrun Run from device i to device j.

[0200] To satisfy physical feasibility, only the following typical transfers are allowed: S i,idle Convert to S i,hand S i,idle Convert to P i→jwalk Or P i→jrun On the path, only the following typical transitions are allowed: P i→jwalk Convert to S j,idle ;P i→jrun Convert to S j,idle .

[0201] Specifically, such as Figure 2 The examples shown are devices 1–5, representing the inspection sequence:

[0202] The inspector walks from the transformer (1) to the disconnector (2) →

[0203] Raise your hand near the disconnect switch → S 2,hand ;

[0204] Running from the disconnector to the circuit breaker (4) →

[0205] Stay near the circuit breaker: →S 4,idle ;

[0206] Assuming from S 4,idle To S 4,hand If the historical probability is high (such as when raising your hand is required for operations like pulling a knife switch), the system will automatically calculate:

[0207]

[0208] If the probability is high, an early warning will be triggered, even if the electric field value is still within a safe range.

[0209] Step 4: Markov chain and transition matrix estimation:

[0210] Assume a sequence of worker states {X} t It follows a first-order discrete-time Markov chain:

[0211] P r {X t+1 =x j |X t =x i ,X t-1 ,…}=P r {X t+1 =x j |X t =x i}=P ij ,

[0212] in Let be the transition probability matrix.

[0213] Historical inspection routes Number of transfers:

[0214] N ij =#{t∣X t =x i ,X t+1 =x j}

[0215] The transition probability estimated by the maximum likelihood is:

[0216]

[0217] To enable the model to continuously adapt to inspection behavior, an exponentially weighted update method can be used:

[0218]

[0219] in The transition probability is obtained statistically within the window over a recent period, and λ controls the weight of new data.

[0220] Step 5: State Risk Assessment Model:

[0221] First, a real-time threshold and gradient risk assessment is performed, based on the limit E given by relevant standards. lit G lit Real-time measurement of E t G t The normalized quantity is defined later:

[0222]

[0223] Then, based on the Markov chain, predict the risk of behavior. Let the current state be X t = x i , and its one-hot vector representation is The state probability vectors for one-step prediction and two-step prediction are respectively:

[0224] π(1) = δ xi P

[0225] π(2) = δ xi P 2

[0226] Define the set of high-risk states χ H :

[0227]

[0228] Taking into account both one-step and two-step predictions, the predicted risk score can be defined as:

[0229]

[0230] The system issues a level 1-2 early warning in advance. This mechanism can identify dangerous actions such as "raising hands and running towards high-voltage equipment" in advance, providing an early warning several seconds earlier than a single threshold judgment.

[0231] Finally, construct the comprehensive risk index R total (t):

[0232]

[0233] where the sum of the parameters α, β, and γ is 1.

[0234] Step 6: Set the warning level determination:

[0235] According to R total (t) and the protective condition, trigger the warning level L(t) ∈ {0, 1, 2}:

[0236]

[0237] where 0 < p1 < p2, 0 < λ1 < λ2 are threshold parameters.

[0238] Trigger level definitions: Level 0 (Safe): Both the electric field and gradient are within a safe range, and the probability of entering a high-risk state in the short term is small; Level 1 (Potential Danger): The current electric field / gradient is close to the limit, or the Markov chain predicts that the worker is likely to evolve into a high-risk device / posture; Level 2 (Danger): The electric field is close to or exceeds the limit, or there is a very high probability that the worker will enter a high-risk posture in the next step (such as raising their hand to operate in front of high-voltage equipment), and an immediate voice + sound and light forced alarm is required.

[0239] Example 2:

[0240] Furthermore, this invention also proposes a multi-source fusion safety early warning system 200 for substation inspection personnel, such as... Figure 3 As shown, it includes:

[0241] The association unit 201 is used to determine the area where the inspection personnel are inspecting the substation, and to establish the correlation between the movement characteristics of the inspection personnel and the changes in the induced electric field near the electric field of the substation equipment in the area.

[0242] The estimation unit 202 is used to model the inspection Markov chain based on the association relationship, estimate the inspection Markov chain and the transition matrix, and obtain the estimation result.

[0243] The output unit 203 is used to assess the state risk based on the estimation result, classify the assessed state risk into levels according to the preset warning level judgment criteria, and issue corresponding warnings.

[0244] This includes determining the area where inspection personnel are located during substation inspections, including:

[0245] After the camera's field of view fully covers the typical passages and the front area of ​​the equipment in the substation, the visual algorithm is used to determine the area where the inspection personnel are during their inspection, thus identifying the area where the inspection personnel are located during the substation inspection.

[0246] This includes establishing the correlation between the movement characteristics of inspection personnel near the electric field of substation equipment and changes in the induced electric field, including:

[0247] For typical near-electric scenarios in substations, a three-dimensional scene model is established. Through finite element simulation of the three-dimensional scene model, the electric field response characteristics of the electric field sensing sensors worn on the head and arms of the inspection personnel under different typical working actions and positions are obtained.

[0248] Based on the response characteristics and the speed and acceleration variation patterns of the inspection personnel during their movement, a judgment model for different movement states is established to determine the status of the inspection personnel.

[0249] Typical near-electricity scenarios for substations include:

[0250] Transformer area scene, disconnector area scene, current transformer area scene, circuit breaker area scene, and distribution room area scene.

[0251] Among them, the determination model includes:

[0252] G t = |dE / dt| < G1, it is determined as stationary / slow moving;

[0253] G1 ≤ |dE / dt| < G2, it is determined as walking;

[0254] |dE / dt| > G2, it is determined as running;

[0255] Among them, Gt is the electric field change rate, dt is the sampling period, E is the electric field modulus, and G1 and G2 are determination thresholds.

[0256] Among them, the patrol Markov chain modeling includes:

[0257] The working space of the substation is denoted as The spatial positions of the staff at discrete times t = 0, 1,..., n are:

[0258] P t = (x t , y t , z t ) ∈ Ω

[0259] Then, the output of the wearable electric field sensor is the instantaneous electric field intensity:

[0260] E t = E(P t , θ t )

[0261] Among them, θ t represents the human body posture;

[0262] The set of substation equipment is denoted as:

[0263] D = {1, 2, i... j,...}

[0264] Among them, the substation equipment includes: transformers, disconnectors, current transformers, circuit breakers, and distribution rooms;

[0265] Therefore, the behavior of the patrol personnel is discretized into a finite state set:

[0266] X = S dev ∪ S path

[0267] Among them, the equipment state set: S dev = {S i,idle , S i,hand|i∈D},S i,idle To stay / stand near device i, S i,hand To operate by raising your hand near device i;

[0268] Among them, the path state set: S path ={P i→jwalk ,P i→jrun |i,j∈D,i=j,(i→j)have an inspection path},P i→jwalk To walk from device i to device j, P i→jrun To run from device i to device j.

[0269] Markov chains only allow the following typical transitions:

[0270] S i,idle Convert to S i,hand S i,idle Convert to P i→jwalk or P i→jrun ;

[0271] On the path, only the following typical transfers are allowed:

[0272] P i→jwalk Convert to S j,idle P i→jrun Convert to S j,idle .

[0273] The estimation of the Markov chain and transition matrix during inspection includes:

[0274] If the staff state sequence {X} t If a chain follows a first-order discrete-time Markov chain, then:

[0275] P r {X t+1 =x j |X t =x i ,X t-1 ,…}=P r {X t+1 =x j |X t =x i}=P ij ,

[0276] in: Let P be the transition probability matrix. ij For P r The probability of transitioning from state i to state j;

[0277] Historical inspection routes Number of transfers:

[0278] Nij = #{t | X t = x i , X t+1 = x j},

[0279] Then: The transition probability of the maximum likelihood estimate is as follows:

[0280]

[0281] where N ij is the number of transitions from i to j in the statistical history.

[0282] where, for the calculation formula of the transition probability of the maximum likelihood estimate, exponential weighted update is adopted:

[0283]

[0284] where is the transition probability obtained by statistics within the most recent time window, λ controls the weight of new data, is the value of the element P ij in the transition matrix in the next inspection after weighted update, is the transition probability obtained by statistics within the most recent time window.

[0285] where, the calculation formula for the assessment of state risk is as follows:

[0286]

[0287] where R total (t) is the comprehensive risk index, α, β, γ are coefficients, and the sum of α, β, γ is 1, E lit and G lit are the standard limits respectively, E t and G t are the measured real-time electric field value and the real-time measured electric field gradient value respectively, R pred (t) is the predicted risk score.

[0288] where, the decision formula for grading the evaluated state risk is as follows:

[0289]

[0290] where 0 < p1 < p2, 0 < λ1 < λ2 are threshold parameters;

[0291] where 0 represents safety, 1 represents potential danger, and 2 represents danger.

[0292] This invention enables early warning: by predicting the inspector's actions several steps ahead using Markov chains, it provides early warning before dangerous actions occur. It significantly reduces misjudgments and missed judgments caused by sudden hand gestures or sudden approach to equipment: through action recognition and electric field gradient judgment, it can identify dangerous behaviors such as rapid approach and running, achieving dynamic early warning. It unifies location-action-sequence information into a single state model, improving the accuracy of risk assessment and overcoming the shortcomings of traditional solutions that rely solely on electric field thresholds. It possesses self-learning capabilities: the model can automatically update state transition probabilities based on daily inspection trajectories, adapting to the habits of different inspectors and different substation layouts. It improves inspection safety and operational standardization, achieving "action-level" fine-grained safety monitoring, and can be widely applied to the management of substation maintenance personnel.
