Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fault early warning technology, and more specifically, to a method and system for early warning of faults in large oil-filled equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Ultra-high voltage direct current (UHVDC) transmission systems are critical infrastructure for optimizing energy resource allocation and supporting large-scale renewable energy integration. Converter transformers, as core equipment in UHVDC transmission systems, directly impact the safety and stability of the entire power grid. However, due to prolonged exposure to high voltage, high current, complex electromagnetic environments, and fluctuating loads, the internal insulation of converter transformers is prone to aging and deterioration, leading to early insulation defects such as partial discharge (PD). Partial discharge is a significant indicator of insulation degradation in power equipment; failure to detect and address it promptly can result in insulation breakdown, equipment damage, and even power grid accidents, causing severe economic losses and safety risks.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for detecting partial discharge include electrical measurement, chemical analysis, and ultrasonic testing. While electrical measurement methods (such as pulse current methods) offer high sensitivity, they are susceptible to electromagnetic interference and struggle to pinpoint the exact location of the fault. Chemical analysis methods (such as dissolved gas analysis in oil, DGA) can reflect the degradation trend of insulating oil, but they suffer from long detection cycles, poor real-time performance, and insufficient ability to specifically identify fault types. Ultrasonic testing, due to its non-contact nature, resistance to electromagnetic interference, and high positioning accuracy, is widely used in partial discharge detection. However, traditional ultrasonic diagnostic methods often rely on amplitude threshold judgment or manual experience, making it difficult to effectively distinguish between normal equipment noise and partial discharge signals, and even more difficult to accurately identify discharge types (such as corona discharge, surface discharge, suspended discharge, and internal discharge).

[0004] In recent years, deep learning technology has made breakthroughs in fields such as image recognition and speech recognition, providing new technical pathways for fault diagnosis of power equipment. Combining deep learning with ultrasonic partial discharge acoustic signature recognition can automatically extract discriminative features from complex acoustic signals, enabling accurate identification of partial discharge types and early warning of faults. However, existing technologies still have the following shortcomings: Data acquisition difficulties: In actual operation, partial discharge samples are scarce, especially labeled voiceprint data covering multiple working conditions and multiple defect types, which leads to insufficient model training and limited generalization ability; Severe environmental interference: The UHV substation site is subject to multiple sources of background noise, including strong electromagnetic interference, mechanical vibration, and cooling system noise, which affect the signal-to-noise ratio and recognition accuracy of ultrasonic signals. Insufficient feature extraction: Traditional voiceprint features rely heavily on manual design, making it difficult to fully characterize the nonlinear and non-stationary characteristics of partial discharge; Disconnect between diagnosis and early warning: Existing systems mostly remain at the level of fault identification, lacking quantitative assessment of the severity of discharge, prediction of status trends, and intelligent operation and maintenance decision support.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive method that can automatically identify the acoustic signature of partial discharge in large oil-filled equipment, assess its severity, provide early warnings, and offer intelligent operation and maintenance suggestions, in order to improve the reliability of equipment operation and the level of intelligent operation and maintenance.

It also establishes a multi-level early warning threshold system (normal, watchful, early warning, alarm) and introduces a dynamic threshold adaptive adjustment mechanism. Compared to traditional single-threshold judgment methods, this invention can more sensitively capture early, weak abnormal signals, enabling early warning and trend prediction of equipment failures, and effectively preventing accidents.

[0020] Based on the identification of fault type and severity, this invention automatically matches the corresponding operation and maintenance strategy, generates operation and maintenance suggestions including inspection recommendations, maintenance priorities and risk levels, and pushes them to operation and maintenance personnel through a visual interface or remote monitoring platform, which significantly improves the intelligent operation and maintenance level of equipment and reduces the intensity of manual inspection and operation and maintenance costs.

[0034] 2.8) The method for establishing a standardized acoustic fingerprint database is as follows; An acoustic fingerprint database is established based on equipment type, operating conditions, and time information. Each record in the database includes equipment number, operating status label, acoustic fingerprint characteristics, and sampling time information. When the system acquires new voiceprint data, it extracts voiceprint features and generates an acoustic fingerprint, which is then matched with fingerprints in the database. The similarity calculation formula is as follows: For the first i , j Acoustic fingerprint of a device; Cosine similarity; When the similarity is lower than the set threshold, it is determined that the equipment may be in an abnormal operating state, thereby realizing early warning of faults in large oil-filled equipment.

[0035] Step 3: Construct a multi-channel deep learning voiceprint recognition model and a discharge severity assessment model based on deep learning. Use samples from the acoustic fingerprint database to train and optimize the model to obtain a trained voiceprint recognition model. The voiceprint recognition model is used to identify the type of partial discharge and assess the severity of the discharge.

[0036] A multi-channel deep learning voiceprint recognition model is constructed to identify partial discharge types. The overall structure of the model includes a voiceprint feature input layer, a convolutional feature extraction module, a temporal feature modeling module, a global feature attention module, and a discharge type recognition layer.

[0037] Specifically: 3.1) Voiceprint feature input layer; To provide rich and complementary voiceprint information for subsequent deep networks, this layer converts the raw data in the acoustic fingerprint database into three-channel input features, including: 3.11) Mel spectrum; Mel spectrum can better reflect the spectral structure of acoustic signals; 3.12) Time-frequency energy diagram; The time-frequency distribution matrix of the voiceprint signal is obtained by using continuous wavelet transform, preserving the transient details of the non-stationary signal; 3.13) Voiceprint feature vector; This includes the time-domain, frequency-domain, and time-frequency-domain feature parameters extracted in step 2; ultimately, a three-channel input is constructed: Original voiceprint signal, Mel spectrum and time-frequency energy graph; 3.2) Convolutional feature extraction module (local feature extraction); The convolutional feature extraction module receives the above three-channel input and extracts local feature information from the voiceprint signal; this module consists of multiple convolutional layers and pooling layers, and its calculation process is as follows: in: For the first i Feature maps output by each convolutional layer For activation function, For convolution kernel parameters, X As input features, As a bias term, convolution operations can extract local texture features and spectral features from the voiceprint signal; 3.3) Temporal Feature Modeling Module; To capture the continuity and temporal evolution of partial discharge events, a bidirectional long short-term memory network (BiLSTM) is introduced after convolutional feature extraction to model temporal features. The calculation process is as follows: This represents the LSTM hidden state at the current time t. The input features are at the current time t. For the previous moment The hidden state is used to remember temporal information; The two-way structure is: The time-series characteristics are obtained after concatenation using bidirectional LSTM. For the output of the forward LSTM, This is the output of an inverted LSTM; 3.4) Global Feature Attention Module; While BiLSTM can capture temporal dependencies within a limited range, more robust global modeling capabilities are still needed to address intermittent discharges, periodic disturbances, or long-term evolution trends that may occur in large oil-filled equipment. This module introduces a Transformer multi-head attention mechanism to globally interact with features across all time steps, highlighting the key moments most relevant to the current discharge type determination. The attention calculation formula is as follows: in: For normalized exponential functions, Q For querying the matrix, K The key matrix, For matrix transpose, V For value matrices, For dimensions.

[0038] BiLSTM output As input to the attention module, global attention weights are generated by calculating the correlation between any two time steps. These weights are then weighted and summed over V to output a global context feature vector G. This vector integrates all voiceprint information within the entire time window and significantly enhances features related to partial discharge types (such as the high-frequency periodicity of corona discharge and the broadband bursts of surface discharge), while suppressing background noise. G is finally fed into the discharge type recognition layer.

Step c: Model training; Using the cross-entropy loss function: This is the loss value. For real labels, The model predicts the first i Class probability; The Adam optimization algorithm is used for parameter updates; Step d: Iterative training of the model; The model parameters are continuously optimized through multiple rounds of training, and training is stopped when the accuracy on the validation set reaches a stable level. The model optimization method is as follows: A) Adaptive feature weight fusion; The input feature weights are dynamically adjusted based on the importance of different voiceprint features. B) Multi-scale training strategies; Simultaneously, voiceprint samples at different time scales are used for training to improve the model's ability to recognize different discharge cycles. C) Transfer learning optimization; The model is pre-trained using existing device voiceprint data and then fine-tuned using target device data to improve recognition accuracy under small sample conditions.
