[0103] Ten key parameter data points were collected during 940 seconds of continuous operation of the steam turbine, with a sampling frequency of 1 Hz. The collected raw data were normalized to eliminate the influence of dimensions.

[0104] 2. MREMD Decomposition and Noise Reduction

[0105] An improved MREMD decomposition was performed on the time series of each parameter, with a maximum number of iterations set to 6. The number of IMF components obtained from the decomposition ranged from 3 to 7.

When the two types of evidence were highly consistent, a weighted average was used; when the consistency was low, the Dempster combination rule was used to handle evidence conflicts. The combined weight T of each parameter after fusion reflects the importance of each parameter in the overall state assessment.

[0112] 6. Dynamic scoring and early warning

[0113] Based on three indicators—volatility, trend stability, and extreme value ratio—a stability score for each parameter is calculated. Then, the overall stability score of the equipment is calculated using a comprehensive weight T. Finally, a dynamic early warning threshold is calculated using a moving window statistical method. In this embodiment, the average score is 78.3 points, the standard deviation is 8.2, and the early warning threshold is set at 61.9 points. A total of four alarm windows were detected, representing an alarm rate of 12.5%.
