Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent operation and maintenance technology for hydropower equipment, specifically to a turbine group neural monitoring and maintenance planning optimization system. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional hydro-generator monitoring systems often employ threshold-based statistical analysis methods or expert-experience-based rule engines, resulting in three significant architectural flaws. First, equipment status analysis relies heavily on the independent processing of single-point sensor data, failing to effectively model the dynamic coupling relationships between key components such as the turbine, generator, governor, and excitation system, leading to insufficient accuracy in system-level fault warnings. Second, maintenance decision-making logic is fixed in a pre-defined rule base, lacking the ability to model the spatiotemporal correlation of equipment status degradation paths, making it difficult to adapt to the multi-condition switching characteristics of hydro-generator units. Third, existing systems only consider single equipment parameter thresholds when optimizing maintenance plans, failing to establish a quantitative model of the relationship between equipment topology and performance degradation transmission, resulting in inaccurate allocation of maintenance resources.

[0003] Current mainstream technical solutions suffer from the following technical bottlenecks:

[0004] 1) Time series-based prediction models cannot capture the structured correlation features between devices in non-Euclidean space;

[0005] 2) Traditional neural networks lack explicit encoding mechanisms for graph structure features when processing device topology relationships;

[0006] 3) The dynamic maintenance planning did not consider the cascading impact of equipment node state propagation on the overall system reliability. This often leads to a situation in practical applications where over-maintenance of some equipment coexists with under-maintenance of critical components.

[0007] Existing technical solutions suffer from a lack of state representation dimensions and insufficient correlation reasoning ability when dealing with complex system failures in hydro turbine units. In particular, the misjudgment rate is very high when dealing with coupled fault scenarios of generator winding overheating and cooling system failure. Summary of the Invention
