The sensor array is a collection of multiple sensors arranged according to specific layout and rules. These sensors can simultaneously measure thermal impedance-related parameters at different locations of the insulation layer. Compared to a single sensor, this provides more comprehensive and richer data, improving the accuracy and completeness of data acquisition and providing a more reliable foundation for subsequent analysis. The raw thermal impedance monitoring data of the insulation layer is the initial data on the thermal impedance of the insulation layer directly collected by the sensor array. It contains thermal impedance information at each location of the insulation layer at the time of collection, but may contain noise, interference, missing data, or outliers, requiring further processing before it can be used to accurately analyze the thermal characteristics of the insulation layer. Data preprocessing involves a series of processing operations on the raw thermal impedance monitoring data of the insulation layer, including data cleaning, data imputation, and data smoothing. The purpose is to improve data quality, making the data more suitable for the requirements of subsequent analysis, and obtaining high-quality thermal impedance data of the insulation layer. The high-quality thermal impedance data of the insulation layer, after data preprocessing, results in accurate, reliable, and complete data. S2.

The extraction of thermal impedance parameters in abnormal areas involves extracting relevant parameters such as average thermal impedance, standard deviation of thermal impedance, and rate of change of thermal impedance from high-quality thermal impedance data of the insulation layer, based on refined boundary data of the abnormal areas. The extracted thermal impedance parameter data for abnormal areas is a collection of these parameters, reflecting the thermal performance of the abnormal areas and providing crucial information for preliminary assessment of insulation layer damage types. Preliminary assessment of insulation layer damage types involves using the thermal impedance parameter data of abnormal areas, combined with existing experience and knowledge, to make preliminary inferences about the possible damage types in the abnormal areas. Common types of insulation layer damage may include aging, dampness, breakage, and hollowing of the insulation material. Different damage types will lead to different changes in thermal impedance parameters. Preliminary assessment data for insulation layer damage types records the preliminary assessment results, typically including possible damage types and their corresponding confidence levels, providing an initial reference for subsequent accurate matching of damage types. S5. Obtain the thermal impedance characteristic database of the insulation layer material; use the thermal impedance characteristic database of the insulation layer material to perform precise matching of the damage type of the preliminary judgment data of the insulation layer damage type, and generate precise data of the insulation layer damage type; perform the insulation layer health status level assessment based on the precise data of the insulation layer damage type, and obtain the insulation layer health status level assessment data. The thermal impedance characteristic database for insulation materials is a database containing the thermal impedance characteristics of various insulation materials under different conditions. Accurate damage type matching utilizes this database to compare and analyze preliminary damage type assessment data with information in the database. Precise damage type data, obtained through accurate damage type matching, accurately describes the damage type of abnormal areas in the insulation layer, providing crucial information for subsequent insulation layer health status assessment. The insulation layer health status assessment, based on the precise damage type data and following specific assessment standards and rules, classifies the overall health status of the insulation layer. Common health status levels may include healthy, minor damage, moderate damage, and severe damage. This assessment provides a clear understanding of the current condition of the insulation layer, offering a basis for subsequent maintenance and repair decisions.

Parameters of abnormal areas are extracted and damage types are initially determined. Precise matching using a database improves the accuracy of the judgment. Based on the damage type, the health status level is assessed and a report is generated, providing a clear and scientific basis for insulation layer maintenance decisions.
