Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the interdisciplinary field of power systems and information technology, and relates to a method and related device for early warning of faults in key equipment of thermal power plants. Background Technology
[0002] The operating environment of key equipment in thermal power plants is complex, characterized by high temperature, high pressure, and high vibration. Fault early warning systems have always been a technical challenge in the power industry. Existing technologies have the following main shortcomings: First, single-parameter monitoring has limitations. Traditional methods mostly rely on whether a single parameter, such as temperature or pressure, exceeds the standard to trigger an alarm (for example, an alarm is triggered when the temperature of a steam turbine bearing exceeds 85°C). However, equipment failures are often caused by changes in multiple parameters simultaneously, and relying on a single parameter for alarms can easily lead to a delayed response. For instance, a boiler feed pump in a thermal power plant experienced a decrease in efficiency due to scale buildup on the impeller. Initially, only the outlet pressure fluctuated slightly (not reaching the alarm value), but it wasn't until 12 hours later that a sudden drop in flow rate occurred. By then, the pipeline had already been cavitated, and the repair cost was 30% higher than if addressed earlier.
[0003] Secondly, data sources are too fragmented. Current monitoring systems (like SIS and MIS) are mostly independent. SIS systems primarily monitor real-time operational data, while MIS systems record equipment maintenance-related information. The data from these two systems is not well integrated, making it difficult to detect early signs of malfunctions from past maintenance records. For example, a turbine in one unit experienced excessive vibration. Because the record of changing the lubricating oil three months prior (when the oil quality was substandard) wasn't considered, it was mistakenly treated as bearing wear and repaired in the wrong direction.
[0004] Third, the early warning models have poor adaptability. Traditional statistical models (such as regression analysis) have difficulty dealing with the nonlinear and time-varying characteristics of equipment operation, especially under load fluctuations (such as a 20% increase in electricity load during the morning peak) or sudden environmental changes (such as a sudden increase in humidity of 15%), the model accuracy will decrease significantly, and the false alarm rate can reach more than 25%.
[0005] Fourth, threshold values are fixed. Existing systems often use factory-set, fixed thresholds that don't account for equipment aging. For example, the normal vibration range of a 10-year-old steam turbine can differ by up to 15% from that of a new unit. Fixed thresholds lead to frequent false alarms from older equipment (3-5 times per month). Maintenance personnel are prone to "early warning fatigue".
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a fault early warning method that integrates multi-source data, adaptively adjusts models and thresholds, in order to improve the early warning lead time and accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0028] Example 1 The method for early warning of faults in key equipment of thermal power plants according to the present invention includes the following steps: 1) Obtain multi-dimensional data from thermal power plants, including equipment-level data, system-level data, management-level data, and environmental-level data; Specifically, 11) the device layer data includes: Vibration signal: Install piezoelectric accelerometers on the bearing housing and motor end cover of rotating equipment (steam turbine, fan), with a sampling frequency of 1kHz and a range of ±50g, and record the vibration acceleration of the X, Y, and Z axes.
[0029] Temperature data: Thermocouple sensor (Type K, temperature range -200~1300℃) was used. Collect bearing temperature and winding temperature at 1s interval.
[0030] Pressure and flow data: Differential pressure transmitters are installed at the inlet and outlet of the pipeline, with a measurement range of 0-10MPa and an accuracy of 0.1% FS, to record real-time pressure and flow.
[0031] Lubricating oil parameters: Viscosity (kinematic viscosity at 40℃) and moisture content (ppm) are collected by an online oil monitoring sensor at a sampling interval of 10 min.
[0032] 12) System-level data: Data at the unit level is obtained through the SIS system interface, including: Real-time operating parameters: unit load (MW), main steam temperature (°C), furnace pressure (Pa), etc., updated every 5 seconds.
[0033] Historical trend data: Stores parameter change curves for the past 3 years, and supports querying by hourly, daily, and monthly granularity.
[0034] 13) Management Data: Integrating with third-party systems (ERP, CMMS) to obtain full lifecycle information: Equipment records: manufacturer, model and specifications, design life (e.g., steam turbine design life of 30 years), and installation date.
[0035] Maintenance records: time of each maintenance, parts replaced (e.g., bearing model 7310 was replaced in May 2023), maintenance personnel, and acceptance results.
[0036] Historical faults: time of occurrence, phenomenon (e.g., "vibration value suddenly increased to 15mm / s in August 2022"), cause analysis, and handling plan.
[0037] 14) Environmental layer data: Deploy environmental sensors around the equipment to collect humidity (range 0-100% RH), dust concentration (0-100mg / m³), and ambient temperature (-30~70℃) at 1min intervals. This data is used to analyze the impact of environmental factors on the equipment (e.g., high humidity can lead to a decrease in the insulation of electrical components).
[0038] 15) The collected multidimensional data is transmitted to the edge computing gateway via industrial Ethernet for local caching (storing the data of the last 24 hours), and then uploaded to the cloud database via 5G private network to ensure data transmission latency ≤50ms.
[0039] 2) Feature extraction is performed on the multi-dimensional data of the thermal power plant; The specific process of step 2) is as follows: 21) Outlier Handling: An improved Isolation Forest algorithm is used to handle outliers. The specific process is as follows: 211) Constructing a training set: Select 10,000 data points from when the equipment is running normally as samples.
[0040] 212) Improved isolated tree: Introduce time series window (window size = 30 time points) to assign higher path length (anomaly score) to data with continuous anomalies within the window.
[0041] 213) Anomaly Repair: For marked outliers, fill them with a weighted average of the five nearest time points (with the weight decreasing as the distance increases) to avoid time series breaks caused by direct deletion.
[0042] 214) Missing value handling: For missing values caused by sensor offline (such as communication interruption), if the missing duration is ≤10min, linear interpolation is used to fill the missing value; if the missing duration is >10min, the data from the same period of the same type of equipment is called to fill the missing value (such as the historical data of the #1 steam turbine for #2 steam turbine) to ensure data integrity.
[0043] 22) Feature extraction: 221) Vibration signal characteristics: Perform EMD decomposition on the vibration signal sampled at 1kHz to obtain 5th-8th order IMF components (lower order IMF reflects high frequency vibration, and higher order IMF reflects low frequency trend). Calculate the energy ratio of each component (Σ energy of the component / total energy) and kurtosis value (measures the peak characteristics of the signal; kurtosis value > 5 when bearing is worn).
[0044] 222) Operating parameter characteristics: Calculate the 24-hour moving average (smoothing short-term fluctuations), volatility ((maximum value - minimum value) / mean), and diurnal difference (the difference between the mean values during the day and night) for parameters such as temperature and pressure.
[0045] 223) Environmental characteristics: Calculate the cross-characteristics of environmental parameters and equipment parameters (such as the Pearson coefficient of humidity and insulation resistance).
[0046] The final result is a 128-dimensional feature vector, which includes 32 dimensions of vibration features, 64 dimensions of operating parameter features, 16 dimensions of environmental features, and 16 dimensions of maintenance features (such as the number of days since the last maintenance and the number of historical faults).
[0047] 3) A hybrid early warning model is constructed using a dual-model and attention fusion architecture, wherein the dual models include an LSTM sub-model and a random forest sub-model; 31) The LSTM sub-model is specifically as follows: Network structure: Input layer (128-dimensional features) → 2-layer LSTM (64 hidden units per layer) → Dropout layer (to prevent overfitting, dropout rate = 0.2) → Fully connected layer → Output layer (P1, range 0-1).
[0048] Training process: Using time series data from the past 3 years as samples, the Adam optimizer (learning rate = 0.001) was used, and the loss function was mean squared error (MSE).
[0049] Trend anomaly judgment: Input the feature sequence of the past 72 hours and predict the parameter value of the next 12 hours. When the deviation between the actual value and the predicted value exceeds 5% (the deviation threshold for different parameters can be adjusted, such as the vibration deviation threshold = 8%), P1 will increase as the deviation increases (P1 = 0.6 when the deviation is 10% and P1 = 0.9 when the deviation is 20%).
[0050] 32) The random forest sub-model is specifically as follows: Model construction: Using 5,000 historical fault data (including 5 types of faults: bearing wear, impeller scaling, motor inter-turn short circuit, seal aging, and pipeline blockage) as training samples, 100 decision trees were constructed.
[0051] Feature importance: The importance of features is assessed by the Gini coefficient. For example, important features of bearing wear are vibration kurtosis (weight 25%) and lubricating oil viscosity (weight 18%).
[0052] Output P2: Input the current 128-dimensional features and output the probability of occurrence of 5 types of faults. Take the maximum value as P2 (reflecting the probability of the most likely fault type).
[0053] 33) The process of attention mechanism fusion is as follows: Dynamic weight allocation: Set basic weights based on equipment type (P1 weight = 0.6 for rotating equipment, P1 weight = 0.4 for stationary equipment), and then dynamically adjust based on real-time accuracy (e.g., if P1 issues 3 consecutive correct warnings, the weight increases by 2%).
[0054] The comprehensive early warning index S = α × P1 + (1-α) × P2, where α is the dynamic weight (range 0.4-0.8).
[0055] 4) Set dynamic thresholds; Achieve "aging-adaptive + feedback adjustment" of the threshold.
[0056] Calculate the health decay coefficient K: For example: A steam turbine has a design life of 20 years (7300 days), operates for 5 years (1825 days), and has λ=0.6. Then K=1-0.6×(1825 / 7300)=1-0.6×0.25=0.85.
[0057] Threshold adjustment: Real-time threshold S_th = initial threshold (0.7) × K, that is, the real-time threshold of the turbine = 0.7 × 0.85 = 0.595, reducing the warning threshold of old equipment.
[0058] Feedback and adjustment mechanism: Positive feedback: If the equipment has no faults for 3 consecutive months, it indicates that the threshold may be too high, and it should be increased by 5% (e.g., 0.7 → 0.735).
[0059] Negative feedback: When a false alarm occurs (no fault occurs within 24 hours after the warning), the associated parameters are traced through fault tree analysis (FTA) (e.g., the false alarm is caused by temperature sensor drift), and the threshold is lowered by 3% (0.7→0.679).
[0060] Adjust the constraints: set the upper and lower limits of the thresholds to 0.9 and 0.5 respectively to avoid over-adjustment that could cause the warning to fail.
[0061] 5) Visualization and handling of early warning results; 51) Construct a "three-level early warning + full-process response" mechanism: Grading standards: 511) Warning (0.5≤S<0.7): The parameter shows a slight abnormal trend. The warning is pushed to the operation and maintenance PC and you are prompted to strengthen monitoring.
[0062] 512) Alarm (0.7≤S<0.9): There is a relatively clear risk of failure. The alarm is pushed to the PC and mobile terminals and a checklist is generated (such as "Check bearing temperature and lubricating oil level").
[0063] 513) Emergency Alarm (S≥0.9): High risk of failure, triggering an audible and visual alarm (red flashing on the monitoring screen), pushing to the mobile phone of maintenance personnel (SMS + APP push), and associating spare parts information (e.g., "3 bearings of model 7310 in stock, which can meet the replacement needs").
[0064] 52) Visualization platform functions: 521) Real-time dashboard: Displays key parameter curves (such as the 24-hour trend of vibration values) and fault probability heatmaps (P2 values for different fault types).
[0065] 522) Historical backtracking: Supports querying early warning records by time and device, and comparing the consistency between actual faults and early warnings.
[0066] 523) Decision support: Recommend handling solutions based on historical cases (e.g., "Similar vibration characteristics correspond to bearing wear in 2022, and it is recommended to stop the machine and replace it").
[0067] Example 2 This invention was piloted in a 300MW thermal power plant for six months, covering five key equipment categories including steam turbines and boiler feedwater pumps. The results showed that: Warning lead time: Increased from 2-4 hours with existing technology to 8-12 hours, with an average advance warning time of 9.3 hours.
[0068] False alarm rate: decreased from 25% to 9%, a reduction of 64%; false negative rate: decreased from 12% to 3%.
[0069] Economic benefits: Avoids two major downtimes (each resulting in a loss of approximately 1.5 million yuan), reduces unplanned maintenance time by 48 hours, and saves approximately 4 million yuan in costs annually.
[0070] It should be noted that this invention breaks down information silos by using multi-source data fusion, captures early signs of faults using intelligent algorithms, and adapts to equipment aging conditions through dynamic thresholds, thereby significantly improving the accuracy and timeliness of fault warnings for key equipment in thermal power plants and providing strong support for the safe and stable operation of the power system.
