Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of power equipment condition monitoring technology, and in particular relates to a method and system for early warning of overheating hazards in electrical equipment based on UAV multispectral imaging. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of smart grid construction, using drones equipped with multispectral imaging devices for non-contact inspection of power transmission and transformation equipment has become an important means of power operation and maintenance. This technology can simultaneously acquire multidimensional information such as visible light, infrared, and ultraviolet light, and has broad application prospects in improving inspection efficiency and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power grid.

[0003] Existing inspection methods based on UAV multispectral imaging typically utilize infrared thermal imaging technology to directly measure the surface temperature of equipment to detect obvious thermal defects, or use ultraviolet imaging technology to count photons to qualitatively determine whether external corona discharge exists. Some existing technologies attempt to perform simple visual overlay of infrared and ultraviolet images to help maintenance personnel visually view the positional relationship between discharge points and heat sources.

[0004] However, most existing detection methods only represent surface temperature or discharge signals independently, lacking quantitative analysis of the physical mechanism by which the electrical energy generated by the discharge is converted into thermal energy. This makes it impossible to establish an accurate mapping model from weak partial discharge to internal temperature rise in the insulating medium. Consequently, when early discharge occurs inside the equipment due to insulation degradation but no significant temperature rise has yet appeared on the surface, it is difficult to effectively predict its potential overheating trend. Therefore, existing technologies suffer from untimely and inaccurate early warning systems for hidden overheating faults in electrical equipment caused by early partial discharge.

[0051] Furthermore, this application innovatively introduces a discharge energy dissipation model, and based on the coupled calculation of discharge current density and local electric field strength, constructs a physical mapping relationship from microscopic charge migration to macroscopic thermal power loss, filling the gap in the analysis of the mechanism of discharge electrical energy to thermal energy conversion.

[0052] Based on this, by solving the steady-state heat conduction equation using the equipment's thermal conductivity and heat dissipation parameters, the temperature field distribution inside the insulating medium under thermal equilibrium can be accurately predicted. This allows for the early identification of hidden overheating risks caused by early partial discharges, even before significant temperature rises are observed on the equipment surface. Therefore, this application effectively solves the technical problems of untimely and inaccurate early warning systems for hidden overheating faults in electrical equipment caused by early partial discharges in existing technologies.

[0059] Although UAV-based multispectral imaging technology for electrical equipment inspection has been widely used in power operation and maintenance, existing infrared thermometry and ultraviolet imaging methods mainly rely on the direct capture of abnormal surface temperatures of equipment or simple statistics of the number of discharge photons.

[0060] This superficial detection method cannot grasp the essence of energy conversion behind the discharge phenomenon. Especially in the early stage of insulation deterioration, although weak partial discharge has occurred, it has not yet caused a significant increase in the temperature of the equipment surface. Existing technology cannot establish a quantitative connection between electrical signals and thermal effects, which often leads to delayed or even missed early warning of hidden overheating faults, seriously restricting the safety of power grid operation.

[0061] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a method for early warning of overheating hazards in electrical equipment based on UAV multispectral imaging. The core of this method lies in constructing a physical mapping model from microscopic discharge signals to macroscopic thermal field distribution. Specifically, this application utilizes ultraviolet photon density and spatial point cloud data synchronously collected by a UAV, combined with electric field distribution information obtained from finite element analysis, to accurately quantify the discharge charge through spatial inversion technology. Furthermore, a discharge energy dissipation model is introduced to calculate the heat power loss generated by the coupling of discharge current density and local electric field, and the final temperature field distribution inside and on the surface of the equipment is deduced based on the steady-state heat conduction equation.

[0062] This method breaks through the limitations of traditional single signal detection. Through deep fusion and calculation of multi-physics field data, it can quantify and predict the overheating trend caused by discharge in advance when the temperature rise on the equipment surface is not obvious. It solves the problems of untimely warning and low accuracy of existing technologies for early hidden faults, and significantly improves the foresight and reliability of electrical equipment condition assessment.

[0065] Figure 1 This illustration shows a flowchart of an embodiment of a method for early warning of overheating hazards in electrical equipment based on UAV multispectral imaging. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0066] S101. Acquire photon density data and spatial point cloud data in the ultraviolet band on the surface of electrical equipment using a drone equipped with a multispectral imaging device.

[0067] Photon density data in the ultraviolet band refers to the statistical value of the number of discharge photons received per unit area on the surface of a target electrical device per unit time by a solar-blind ultraviolet imaging module carried by a drone. It can reflect the intensity distribution of corona discharge or partial discharge on the surface of the device.

[0068] Spatial point cloud data refers to a set of discrete coordinate points describing the spatial geometric position of the surface of electrical equipment, collected by a lidar or binocular vision camera mounted on a drone. Each point includes the three-dimensional coordinate information of the equipment surface. A multispectral imaging device is a comprehensive acquisition device integrating multiple sensors such as visible light, infrared thermal imaging, and ultraviolet imaging, capable of simultaneously acquiring spectral information of the same target in different wavelength bands. Furthermore, this device or drone platform is also equipped with micro-meteorological sensors to simultaneously collect environmental parameters such as ambient temperature, humidity, and wind speed.

[0069] In practice, the first step is to control a drone equipped with a multispectral imaging device to fly along a preset route to the vicinity of target electrical equipment, such as high-voltage composite insulator strings or transformer bushings, maintaining a hovering or low-speed cruising state. Next, a solar-blind ultraviolet camera is used to photograph the equipment, collecting radiation signals in the ultraviolet band. The processor inside the imaging device converts the received light signals into a digitized photon counting matrix, generating photon density data. ,in Indicates the first in the image Line number Photon count value of each pixel.

[0070] Simultaneously, the lidar onboard the drone scans the electrical equipment, emitting laser beams and receiving echoes to calculate the three-dimensional spatial coordinates of the equipment's surface and generate spatial point cloud data. ,in This represents the total number of point clouds. Simultaneously, an airborne micro-weather sensor was used to record the current ambient temperature in real time. relative humidity and wind speed These environmental parameters are then associated with and stored in conjunction with the collected photon data and point cloud data.

[0071] Finally, the collected photon density data D, spatial point cloud data p, and environmental parameters are time-stamped and synchronized, and then transmitted back to the ground station or stored in the airborne computing unit in real time via a wireless transmission link.

[0072] S102. Construct a three-dimensional geometric model based on spatial point cloud data to determine the physical interface of the electrical equipment, and obtain electric field distribution information including local electric field intensity, electric field vector direction and equipotential surface information by performing finite element analysis on the physical interface and the operating voltage level of the electrical equipment.

[0073] Optionally, the process of constructing a three-dimensional geometric model based on spatial point cloud data to determine the physical interface of the electrical equipment in step S102 may specifically include:

[0074] S1021. Connect adjacent coordinate points in the spatial point cloud data according to the spatial coordinate adjacency relationship to construct a triangular mesh surface covering the outer contour of the electrical equipment.

[0075] A triangular mesh is a set of triangular patches formed by connecting three non-collinear point cloud coordinates in space. It is a common geometric representation for transitioning discrete point cloud data to continuous curved surfaces and can approximate the local shape of electrical equipment surfaces. Topological connection refers to the process of determining which points should be connected into a triangle based on the spatial positional relationships of point cloud data, such as Euclidean distance. It is usually implemented using Delaunay triangulation or greedy projection triangulation algorithms.

[0076] In practice, the spatial point cloud data p obtained from S101 is first imported, and then denoised and downsampled to optimize data quality. Next, a greedy projection triangulation algorithm is used to search for each point. of In the nearest neighbor region, based on the conditions of normal vector consistency and maximum angle constraint, three coordinate points that satisfy the adjacency relationship are connected to form a triangular patch. ,in Repeat this process until all point cloud data has been traversed, ultimately generating a set of triangular mesh surfaces covering the entire outer contour of the electrical equipment. ,in This represents the total number of triangular facets.

[0077] S1022. By closing the triangular mesh surface, a three-dimensional geometric model representing the surface topology of the electrical equipment is generated.

[0078] Closure processing refers to the process of repairing holes, gaps, or non-manifold structures such as overlapping surfaces and isolated points in a triangular mesh to make it a mathematically closed and leak-free geometry. A three-dimensional geometric model is a digital model that, after closure processing, can fully express the geometry, volume, and surface topology of electrical equipment, and is usually stored in STL or OBJ format.

[0079] In practice, the triangular mesh face set generated by S1021 is first detected. The system checks for boundary edges, i.e., edges that belong to only one triangle. These boundary edges typically correspond to holes caused by missing data. Next, using wavefront or radial basis function interpolation algorithms, new triangular patches are automatically generated to fill these hole regions, and these new patches are incorporated into the mesh set.

[0080] Simultaneously, self-intersecting patches and non-manifold edges in the model are checked and removed to ensure the geometric topological correctness of the model. Finally, the mesh surface is fine-tuned using the Laplacian smoothing algorithm to eliminate local sharp protrusions caused by noise, generating a smooth and closed 3D geometric model. .

[0081] S1023. Based on the geometric morphological characteristics of the three-dimensional geometric model, extract the solid region from the three-dimensional geometric model, and take the interface between the solid region and the external space as the physical interface.

[0082] The solid region refers to the spatial volume enclosed within the three-dimensional geometric model, representing the insulating medium of the electrical equipment itself, such as ceramics, silicone rubber, or composite materials. The physical interface is the boundary surface between the solid region and the external air domain, i.e., the outer surface of the electrical equipment; it is the critical boundary where the dielectric constant changes abruptly in electric field analysis. Geometric morphological characteristics refer to the geometric properties of the model surface, such as curvature, normal vector direction, and connectivity.

[0083] In practice, the three-dimensional geometric model is first analyzed. Based on the surface normal vector direction and the principle that the normal vector points outward, the interior and exterior sides of the model are determined. Next, using voxelization algorithms or tetrahedral meshing techniques, the interior space of the model is filled with solid elements, defined as solid regions. Based on the specific material type of the electrical equipment, such as a high-voltage bushing, the corresponding relative permittivity is retrieved from the material property database. to give the region Each finite element mesh element in the process.

[0084] At the same time, construct a geometric model that surrounds the entire structure. A large-scale bounding box, which includes elements within the bounding box but... The space outside is defined as the air domain. And uniformly assign it the relative permittivity of air. Finally, Boolean operations are used to extract... and The common contact surfaces are marked as physical interfaces. In finite element analysis software, this interface is defined as the junction surface that satisfies the boundary conditions of continuous tangential electric field and discontinuous normal electric displacement vector when electric field lines pass through it. For example, in the simulation model of a high-voltage bushing, the outer surface of the skirt is the physical interface, which separates the internal high-dielectric-constant insulating material from the external air.

[0085] Optionally, step S102, which involves performing finite element analysis on the physical interface and the operating voltage level of the electrical equipment to obtain electric field distribution information including local electric field intensity, electric field vector direction, and equipotential surface information, may specifically include:

[0086] S1024. Divide the three-dimensional geometric model into an insulating region and an air region according to the physical interface, and determine the corresponding dielectric parameters for the insulating region and the air region respectively.

[0087] The insulating region refers to the internal space of the entity surrounded by the physical interface in S1023, representing the main insulating part of the electrical equipment. The air region refers to the space outside the physical interface; typically, in finite element analysis, a finite-sized computational domain, such as a sphere or cube, is set to simulate the infinite boundary. The dielectric parameter mainly refers to the relative permittivity of the material, which determines the distribution and refraction of electric field lines in different media.

[0088] In practice, the physical interface determined in S1023 is first imported. Next, in the preprocessing module of finite element analysis software such as COMSOL or ANSYS, the interface is... The internal geometry is defined as a domain. Based on the equipment ledger information, such as the model B bushing, the relative permittivity of its insulating material, such as epoxy resin, is obtained by referring to a table. Assign it to the field Meanwhile, in the split interface A cubic computing domain with sides 5 to 10 times the device size is constructed on the periphery. The size of this computing domain is then subtracted from the size of the surrounding area. The remaining part is defined as a field. And it assigns the relative permittivity of air to it. .

[0089] S1025. Based on the operating voltage level and dielectric parameters, determine the potential boundary conditions of the insulation region to construct the potential distribution equation.

[0090] Potential boundary conditions refer to known potential values ​​applied at specific boundaries of the finite element computational domain, typically including Dirichlet boundary conditions. Operating voltage levels refer to the rated operating voltage of electrical equipment under actual operating conditions, such as 110kV or 220kV. The potential distribution equation describes the potential in an electrostatic field. Partial differential equations that vary with spatial location are usually Laplace's equations or Poisson's equations.

[0091] In practice, the domain is first identified. High-voltage conductive components such as the surface of the central guide rod and grounding components such as flange base surface Next, the effective value of the current operating phase voltage of the device will be obtained from the SCADA system. Convert to peak Alternatively, an effective value can be taken based on actual calculation needs. In this embodiment, to maintain consistency between the field strength calculation and energy density, the voltage peak value is used. Apply to the boundary That is, setting Simultaneously, zero potential is applied to the boundary. That is, setting For the outer boundary of the air domain, a zero potential or zero charge boundary condition is typically set. Finally, this is combined with the dielectric parameters determined in the previous step. Based on the electrostatic field theory in Maxwell's equations, a potential distribution equation applicable to regions without free charges is constructed: .in, For Hamiltonian operators, The dielectric constant is... China ,exist China , Let be the space potential distribution function to be determined.

[0092] S1026. By iteratively solving the potential distribution equation, the potential value of each spatial node is obtained, and spatial nodes with the same potential value are used as equipotential surface information.

[0093] Iterative solution refers to the process of discretizing continuous partial differential equations into a system of linear algebraic equations using the finite element method, and then gradually approximating the true solution through numerical calculation. Spatial nodes are discrete points generated after finite element mesh generation; they are the basic units for calculating potential values. Equipotential surface information refers to the set of surfaces formed by all points in space with equal potential values, which intuitively reflects the voltage drop trend.

[0094] In practical implementation, the entire computational domain is first... The system of discrete algebraic equations is then divided into millions of tetrahedral mesh elements. Next, the system of equations is submitted to a solver, and iterative calculations are performed using the conjugate gradient method or the multigrid method until the residuals converge to a preset accuracy. After the calculation is complete, extract each grid node. scalar potential value at Finally, an interpolation algorithm is used to search for all values ​​that satisfy the condition. Based on the spatial location, a series of equipotential surfaces are generated, and the geometric data of these surfaces are stored as equipotential surface information. .in For constant series, such as 10kV, 20kV...

[0095] S1027. By calculating the spatial gradient of the potential value, the electric field vector direction and local electric field intensity corresponding to each spatial node are obtained, and all local electric field intensities, all electric field vector directions and equipotential surface information are combined into electric field distribution information.

[0096] Spatial gradient calculation refers to the mathematical process of differentiating a scalar field, i.e., electric potential, to obtain a vector field, i.e., electric field. Local electric field strength refers to the magnitude of the electric field vector at a point in space, representing the strength of the electric force at that point. The direction of the electric field vector indicates the direction in which the electric potential drops the fastest. Electric field distribution information is a comprehensive dataset including all the above-mentioned electrical characteristics.

[0097] In practical implementation, the nodal potential field obtained based on S1026 The negative gradient is calculated using a numerical differentiation algorithm to obtain the electric field intensity vector at each node. As shown in the following formula (1):

The calculation results include the electric field vector direction at each node. and local electric field intensity value Ultimately, all nodes... , as well as Packaged and integrated to form complete electric field distribution information .

[0100] This embodiment effectively overcomes the limitation of traditional detection methods in obtaining microscopic electric field information. By utilizing high-precision local electric field strength and vector direction data, it significantly improves the spatial resolution and calculation accuracy of the overheating early warning model.

[0101] S103. Based on photon density data and electric field distribution information, the discharge charge of the discharge channel and the corresponding spatial distribution data are obtained by mapping and correction using the spatial inversion of the partial discharge charge.

[0102] Optionally, step S103, based on photon density data and electric field distribution information, maps and corrects the discharge charge of the discharge channel and the corresponding spatial distribution data by utilizing the spatial inversion of the local discharge charge, and may specifically include:

[0103] Figure 2 A schematic flowchart of a method for generating discharge charge and spatial distribution data according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0104] S1031. Based on the distribution characteristics of local electric field intensity and electric field vector direction on the surface of the three-dimensional geometric model, extract the surface region that meets the gas ionization condition from the surface of the three-dimensional geometric model, and determine the three-dimensional coordinate set of the surface region as spatial distribution data.

[0105] Gas ionization conditions refer to the critical electric field strength threshold required for air molecules to undergo electron avalanche and generate self-sustaining discharge under the influence of a strong electric field. For example, the corona discharge field strength of air under standard atmospheric pressure is approximately 30 kV / cm. When the local electric field strength exceeds this threshold, corona discharge is highly probable in that region. Spatial distribution data refers to the set of spatial coordinates of all micro-elements or nodes on the surface of a three-dimensional geometric model that satisfy the above conditions. It precisely defines the possible physical location range of the discharge channel.

[0106] In practice, the electric field distribution information obtained from S1027 is first imported. traverse each spatial node Local electric field intensity value Next, based on Paschen's law and current environmental parameters such as temperature and air pressure, the current critical field strength for air ionization is calculated. .

Attenuation factor refers to the proportional coefficient of light intensity loss caused by spherical wave diffusion (geometric attenuation) and atmospheric absorption and scattering (physical attenuation) during ultraviolet photon propagation. Total photon count refers to the actual initial photon emission at the discharge source, calculated after inversion correction.

[0110] In practice, the two-dimensional photon density data D acquired by S101 is first projected onto the three-dimensional spatial position determined by S1031 using the pinhole camera model and the GPS / IMU pose data of the UAV. Above, each discharge node is obtained. Number of observed photons at the location .

[0111] Next, calculate each node. To the location of the drone optical path distance Based on the inverse square law of radiative transfer, the corresponding geometric attenuation factor is calculated. Specifically, only the major geometric diffusion loss is considered here, while weak atmospheric absorption is ignored. Finally, using the formula... The observed data is reverse-corrected, and the total number of photons from the discharge source is obtained by summing the correction values ​​of all nodes. .

[0116] As shown in Table 1, Table 1 lists the photon yield efficiencies corresponding to typical corona discharge, streamer discharge, and spark discharge under standard atmospheric conditions.

[0117] In practice, the current discharge type is first identified based on the photon density characteristics collected by S101 or the electric field intensity characteristics extracted by S1031. The specific identification criterion is: the maximum surface electric field intensity calculated based on S1031. ,like If the photon cloud exhibits a sparse distribution, it is determined to be corona discharge; if If the photon cloud exhibits a distinct streamer-like clustered extension, it is determined to be a streamer discharge; if Furthermore, if the ultraviolet signal is accompanied by a sharp, wide-band amplitude jump, it is determined to be a spark discharge. After automatic identification, the corresponding photoelectric conversion coefficient is matched from Table 1. .

The actual discharge pulse current is synchronously collected by a high-frequency current transformer and integrated to obtain the calibration charge. Simultaneously, the multispectral imaging device is used to record the number of photons. The conversion coefficients were obtained through linear regression fitting. Finally, using the formula Calculate the apparent discharge charge of the discharge channel. .

Based on the discharge charge, spatial distribution data, and electric field distribution information at the corresponding location, the discharge current density in the discharge channel is calculated using the constructed discharge energy dissipation model. Based on the discharge current density and local electric field strength, the density distribution data of the discharge heat power loss of the electrical equipment insulation layer is determined.

Determine the connected regions in the spatial distribution data where the local electric field strength is greater than the preset breakdown threshold as the discharge active region, and calculate the maximum span of the discharge active region along the electric field vector direction to obtain the path length of the discharge channel.

[0123] The preset breakdown threshold refers to the minimum electric field strength required for air to ionize and break down under specific air pressure and temperature. When the local electric field strength exceeds this threshold, air molecules in that region are considered to be ionized, forming a conductive channel. The discharge active region refers to a set of three-dimensional regions that meet the above breakdown conditions and are spatially continuous, representing the actual physical extent of the discharge channel. The path length refers to the maximum geometric distance the discharge channel extends along the direction of the electric field lines, reflecting the longitudinal scale of discharge development. The preset breakdown threshold is set according to different environmental conditions, as shown in Table 2 below:

[0125]

[0126] As shown in Table 2, Table 2 lists the breakdown field strength after standard atmospheric pressure and correction at different altitudes, which is used to guide the determination of the discharge active region.

[0127] In practice, the environmental parameters recorded by S101, namely air pressure P and temperature, are first used as the basis for implementation.

It depends on the electron mobility and the average electric field strength along the path. Equivalent current refers to the macroscopic current intensity generated by the directional movement of charges during a single discharge.

[0137] In practice, the first step is to consider the electron mobility in the air. Electron mobility in air at standard atmospheric pressure and room temperature Approximately Combined with the average electric field strength within the active discharge region. Calculate the average drift velocity of electrons In particular, units must be standardized during calculations, converting the electric field strength unit from kV / cm to V / m. Then, the formula is used... Calculate the electron drift time.

[0138] Finally, the discharge charge obtained by inversion from S1033 is combined with Using the formula The peak equivalent current of the discharge channel is calculated. Considering that partial discharge is a discrete pulse behavior, and the steady-state temperature rise depends on the average energy per unit time, this embodiment further obtains the discharge pulse repetition frequency statistically analyzed by the UAV within the sampling period. This is obtained from the time resolution and pulse counting module of the multispectral imaging device. The average heat power density correction factor is calculated using this frequency to obtain the average heat power density. .

Calculate the ratio of the equivalent current to the cross-sectional area to obtain the scalar current density of the discharge channel, and set the direction of the scalar current density to be consistent with the direction of the electric field vector to obtain the discharge current density.

[0140] Scalar current density refers to the current intensity per unit cross-sectional area, reflecting the concentration of current within the discharge channel. Discharge current density is a vector field, encompassing both magnitude (scalar density) and direction (electric field direction), and is a direct physical quantity for calculating Joule heat power loss.

[0141] In practice, the formula is first used. Calculate the scalar current density. Then, assign this scalar value to each spatial node within the active discharge region, specifying its direction relative to the electric field vector direction at that node. The same principle applies, thus constructing a complete discharge current density vector field. .

[0149] Loss density refers to the energy loss density within an insulating dielectric under alternating current due to repeated polarization, reversing friction, and leakage current of electric dipoles. It is also known as dielectric loss and is widespread throughout the entire insulating volume. The dielectric loss tangent is also mentioned. That is, the loss factor referred to in this application. It is a dimensionless physical quantity that represents the energy loss characteristics of insulating materials, and it depends on the type of material, temperature, and degree of aging. An alternating electric field refers to a sinusoidal electric field that changes periodically with time.

[0150] In practice, the first step is to determine the power grid operating angular frequency based on the equipment register. ,in The operating frequency of the power grid, typically the industrial frequency (50Hz or 60Hz), determines the rate of periodic change of the alternating electric field. It also determines the relative permittivity of the insulating material. and dielectric loss factor Next, traverse each node within the insulation region.

[0154] Linear superposition refers to the spatial numerical summation of the two heat sources generated by the aforementioned different mechanisms—namely, the locally intense Joule heating from discharge and the globally distributed dielectric polarization heat—to construct a complete total heat source model. Density distribution data refers to scalar field data that includes the total heat generation rate of all nodes in the three-dimensional geometric model.

[0155] In practice, firstly, an array of total heat sources is initialized, corresponding one-to-one with the mesh nodes of the three-dimensional geometric model. Next, for each node... Determine its location attributes: if the node is located in the active discharge region, then the total heat source... The influence of the duty cycle of the discharge pulse should be considered, i.e. If the node is located in a non-discharge insulating region, then the heat source... .

[0156] Finally, all nodes The values ​​are mapped and bound according to the grid index to generate the final density distribution data of discharge thermal power loss. This embodiment effectively overcomes the limitations of traditional single heat source models and significantly improves the reliability of predicting hidden overheating faults.

[0157] S105. Based on density distribution data and the thermal conductivity and heat dissipation parameters of electrical equipment, the temperature field distribution that achieves thermal equilibrium between internal heat generation and surface heat dissipation is calculated by solving the steady-state heat conduction equation. The steady-state temperature of different areas of the electrical equipment is determined.

Preset heat resistance threshold refers to the highest temperature limit at which the insulation material can operate safely for a long period without significant aging or thermal breakdown. Warning information refers to alarm signals issued to maintenance personnel when a potential overheating risk is detected, including the location and severity of the fault, and recommended actions.

[0160] The preset heat resistance threshold is automatically obtained through the system's built-in equipment database: while collecting data, the model information of the target equipment is obtained through RFID tags or image recognition technology, and the corresponding insulation material type is automatically retrieved as shown in Table 3 below. The threshold is then adjusted for aging based on the historical inspection reports of the equipment. For example, for epoxy resin bushings that have been in operation for more than 10 years, the temperature resistance threshold is automatically lowered by 10%, ensuring the personalization and scientific nature of the early warning.

[0161] The preset heat resistance threshold is set according to different types of insulation materials, as shown in Table 3 below:

[0164] As shown in Table 3, Table 3 lists the temperature resistance grades of commonly used electrical materials and their corresponding critical temperatures, which are used as a benchmark for judging overheating faults.

[0165] In specific implementation, the density distribution data of discharge heat power loss obtained in S1047 is first used to... The insulating region is loaded as a volumetric heat source term into the three-dimensional geometric model. Simultaneously, based on the equipment inventory, the properties of its insulating material, such as epoxy resin, and surface heat dissipation conditions, such as natural convection, are determined, and a steady-state heat conduction equation is constructed, including both internal heat sources and boundary heat dissipation constraints.

[0166] Next, the equation was iteratively calculated using a finite element solver until the temperature at each node of the model no longer changed significantly, thus obtaining the temperature distribution data for the entire field. Subsequently, several key monitoring areas were defined, and the maximum node temperature falling within each area was extracted as the representative steady-state temperature of the corresponding area. And compare it with the preset heat resistance threshold obtained from Table 3. Compare them.

[0167] For example, for epoxy resin sleeves, suppose that the presence of The system immediately marks the area as a potential overheating point and generates an early warning message including the point's three-dimensional coordinates, predicted temperature rise, and suggested power outage maintenance time, which is then sent to the ground monitoring terminal via wireless network.

The temperature value of each spatial node in the three-dimensional geometric model is obtained by iteratively solving the steady-state heat conduction equation.

[0181] The law of conservation of energy is manifested here as follows: for any infinitesimal element, the heat generated inside it must be equal to the sum of the heat conducted out and the heat lost to the environment, that is, there is no internal energy accumulation under steady state.
