[0020] It should be understood that the description in this section is not intended to identify key or essential features of the embodiments of this application, nor is it intended to limit the scope of this application. Other features of this application will become readily apparent from the following description. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The accompanying drawings are provided to better understand this solution and do not constitute a limitation of this disclosure. Wherein: Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating an operational event analysis method provided in this embodiment of the disclosure; Figure 2A schematic diagram of the structure of an operational event analysis device provided in an embodiment of this disclosure; Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of an operational event analysis device provided in an embodiment of this disclosure; Figure 4 A schematic block diagram of an example electronic device provided for embodiments of this disclosure. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The exemplary embodiments of this disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments to aid understanding, and should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of this disclosure. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0023] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, outlines a method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for analyzing operational events according to embodiments of this disclosure.

[0024] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an operational event analysis method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps: Step 101: Obtain historical event data and new event data to be analyzed during the operation of the nuclear power plant, and perform data standardization processing; Providing a high-quality data foundation for nuclear power plant operation event analysis and experience feedback generation hinges on comprehensively acquiring effective data and ensuring its usability through standardized processing. Historical event data encompasses various relevant information accumulated during nuclear power plant operation, including but not limited to daily operation logs, detailed event reports, and equipment failure records. This data comes from a wide range of sources, including manually entered information by staff, real-time data captured by automated recording systems, and equipment operation data collected by various sensors. This historical data forms a crucial foundation for subsequent analysis and experience feedback. New event data to be analyzed refers to data related to various events that newly occur during nuclear power plant operation and require causal analysis and experience feedback generation. Timely acquisition of this type of data ensures the timeliness and relevance of the analysis.

[0026] Data normalization is a crucial step in this process, aiming to eliminate invalid information and inconsistencies in the data, thus clearing obstacles for subsequent analysis. The process begins with a comprehensive cleaning of both historical and new event data, removing noise, erroneous records, and blank information to ensure accuracy. Next, data from different sources and in different formats is standardized, such as unifying different date formats to a standard format and converting time units to a consistent unit. Missing values ​​are also appropriately filled to ensure data integrity. Through this series of normalization processes, historical event data and the new event data to be analyzed are combined into a structurally consistent, accurate, and complete dataset, providing reliable data support for subsequent event classification and causal analysis, effectively preventing data quality issues from affecting the accuracy and reliability of subsequent analysis results.

[0027] Step 102: Based on the normalized historical event data, construct an event knowledge base that reflects the relationship between event type, fault manifestation and causal factors; Standardized historical event data is the core foundation for building this knowledge base. This data, which has been cleaned, formatted, and completed, contains a large amount of real and valid event-related information, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the knowledge base content.

[0028] The core of the event knowledge base lies in clearly presenting the inherent relationships between event types, failure manifestations, and causal elements. Event types encompass various event categories that may occur during nuclear power plant operation, such as mechanical failures, electrical failures, operational errors, and cooling system malfunctions; this categorizes the essential attributes of the events. Failure manifestations refer to the specific phenomena and characteristics exhibited when an event occurs, including observable and recordable manifestations such as abnormal equipment operation, shutdowns, and signs of component damage. Causal elements not only include the direct causes of the event but also cover deeper root causes and potential systemic problems, providing a comprehensive overview of the root causes of the event. During the construction process, in-depth mining and systematic analysis of standardized historical event data are conducted to extract the event type, failure manifestation, and causal element information for each historical event, thereby establishing a precise mapping relationship between the three. For example, this clarifies the specific failure manifestations often accompanied by a certain type of mechanical failure, as well as the corresponding direct and root causes, forming a structured knowledge system.

[0029] The establishment of these connections is not a simple accumulation of information, but rather based on statistical analysis and logical organization of a large amount of historical data, ensuring that each connection is supported by real-world cases and is reasonable. The resulting event knowledge base can systematically integrate key knowledge from historical events, enabling knowledge accumulation and reuse. This provides rapid and accurate knowledge references for the classification and causal analysis of subsequent new events and the generation of experience feedback, significantly improving the scientific rigor and efficiency of the entire analysis process.

[0030] Step 103: Based on the causal analysis model, perform feature extraction and fusion analysis on the new event data to identify the direct and systemic causes of the event, and output the causal analysis results; wherein, the causal analysis model is trained based on the historical event data; The effectiveness of the causal analysis model is based on sufficient training. Its training data comes from standardized historical event data, which covers complete information on various events during the operation of nuclear power plants, including event characteristics, causes, and correlations. Through systematic learning of this data, the model can grasp the inherent logical relationship between event characteristics and different types of causes, forming a reliable analytical capability.

[0031] When processing new event data, the first step is feature extraction. This involves comprehensively capturing various key features related to causal analysis from the new event data. These features cover multiple dimensions, including the specific manifestations of the new event, its scope of impact, changes in the operating status of equipment systems, and operational procedures, ensuring that no important information that might point to the cause is overlooked. Subsequently, feature fusion analysis is performed. The model integrates and deeply mines the extracted multi-dimensional features, combining them with historical causal patterns learned during training to analyze the causes of the new event layer by layer.

[0032] In this process, the model can clearly distinguish and identify the direct causes and systemic causes of an event. Direct causes refer to the immediate factors that directly lead to the occurrence of a new event; they are the surface-level triggering conditions. Systemic causes, on the other hand, are the deeper factors hidden behind the event, potentially involving issues affecting the stability of the nuclear power plant's operational system, such as equipment design defects, maintenance process loopholes, inadequate management mechanisms, and unsound technical standards. Through such feature extraction and fusion analysis, the model ultimately outputs structured causal analysis results, clearly presenting the direct and systemic causes of a new event. This ensures the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the analysis results, providing scientific and reliable support for subsequent experience feedback, improvement measure formulation, and other work based on these results. This helps operators fully understand the root causes of events, fundamentally solve problems, and prevent similar events from recurring.

[0033] Step 104: Based on the causal analysis results and the relationships in the event knowledge base, generate an experience feedback document containing causal analysis and improvement suggestions; The causal analysis results, serving as the core basis for document generation, clearly present the direct and systemic causes of new events, identifying the key issues that led to the events and forming the foundation for subsequent causal analysis and improvement recommendations. The correlations between event types, fault manifestations, and causal elements stored in the event knowledge base provide rich historical references for the documents. By accessing relevant information about similar events in the knowledge base, the analysis of current events can be made more in-depth and comprehensive.

[0034] When generating experience feedback documents, the cause analysis section focuses on the results of causal analysis, combining relevant data from the event knowledge base to elaborate on the direct causes and deep-seated systemic issues of the event. It also supplements the relevant causal characteristics of similar historical events, making the cause analysis more comprehensive and thorough, helping operations personnel clearly grasp the essence of the event. The improvement suggestion section, based on the conclusions of the cause analysis and referencing effective handling measures and experience summaries for similar events in the event knowledge base, proposes targeted and actionable improvement plans tailored to the specific circumstances of the current event. These suggestions draw on mature practices from historical experience while fitting the actual scenario of the current event, effectively guiding operations personnel to take precise measures to solve problems and prevent similar events from recurring.

[0035] The final generated experience feedback document organically combines cause analysis and improvement suggestions. It has a complete structure and clear logic, which can not only record the experience of handling the current event, but also provide a reliable reference for dealing with similar events in the future. It significantly improves the quality and practical application value of experience feedback on nuclear power plant operation events, and helps to continuously optimize the level of operation and management.

[0036] Step 105: Based on the newly generated experience feedback documents and their corresponding event data, dynamically update the event knowledge base and the causal analysis model.

[0037] The newly generated experience feedback documents encapsulate the results of in-depth analysis of new events, containing entirely new causal analysis conclusions, improvement suggestions, and corresponding event characteristic information. The associated event data covers the complete attribute details of the new events, and all of this constitutes the core basis for updates. When updating the event knowledge base, new correlations between the event type, fault manifestation, and causal elements corresponding to new events, as well as supplementary and improved information on existing correlations, are comprehensively integrated into the knowledge base. This fills potential knowledge gaps, enriches the correlation dimensions, and ensures that the knowledge base content always remains comprehensive and timely, covering a wider range of event scenarios.

[0038] For updates to the causal analysis model, new event data and their corresponding causal analysis results are used as new training data and input into the original model for iterative training. By continuously optimizing the model's parameter configuration, the model can accurately learn the characteristic patterns and causal logic of new events, continuously improving the efficiency of feature extraction and the accuracy of causal analysis for various new types of events. Through this dynamic update mechanism, the event knowledge base can continuously accumulate new operational experience, and the causal analysis model can continuously adapt to new event scenarios. The two form a virtuous cycle, ensuring that subsequent new event analysis and experience feedback document generation based on it always have reliable support, thereby guaranteeing the continuous optimization and efficient operation of the entire nuclear power plant's operational event analysis and experience feedback system.

[0039] In some embodiments, acquiring historical event data and new event data to be analyzed during the operation of a nuclear power plant, and performing data normalization processing includes: The acquired event data is cleaned to remove invalid data and fill in missing items; The time information, numerical information, and text descriptions in the cleaned data are converted into a predefined unified format and standard units.

[0040] The data cleaning process focuses on improving data quality. First, it involves a comprehensive screening of historical event data and new event data to be analyzed, accurately identifying and removing invalid data. This invalid data includes, but is not limited to, erroneous information caused by recording errors, noise data caused by system interference, and blank records without practical significance. At the same time, for any missing items in the data, they are reasonably filled in according to the inherent logic of the data and the characteristic patterns of similar data, ensuring that each event data has completeness and accuracy, providing a reliable foundation for subsequent processing.

[0041] The standardization of formats and units aims to eliminate data heterogeneity. It converts time information in the cleaned data into a predefined, unified format, ensuring consistent time representation across different sources and facilitating subsequent time-based analysis and comparison. It also converts various numerical information into industry-standard units, such as converting different time lengths to minutes and standardizing parameter values ​​from different measurement methods to avoid analytical errors caused by unit differences. Simultaneously, it organizes text descriptions according to predefined standardized formats, ensuring consistent and clear presentation of event information. Through these operations, event data that might otherwise vary in format and unit becomes a unified, standardized dataset. This effectively guarantees that subsequent stages, such as building an event knowledge base and running causal analysis models, can proceed smoothly based on a consistent data foundation, preventing data format inconsistencies or unit discrepancies from affecting the reliability and accuracy of the analysis results.

[0042] In some embodiments, constructing an event knowledge base reflecting the relationship between event type, fault manifestation, and causal factors based on normalized historical event data includes: Establish a mapping relationship between event types and failure modes as the first level of the knowledge base; Based on the results of historical causal analysis, a causal chain between failure modes and specific causal elements is established as the second level of the knowledge base.

[0043] The process of building an event knowledge base achieves structure and efficiency by establishing hierarchical relationships, ensuring a clear and traceable connection between event types, fault manifestations, and causal factors. The core of the first level is establishing a mapping relationship between event types and fault modes. Event types cover various event categories that may occur in nuclear power plant operation, including mechanical faults, electrical faults, operational errors, and cooling system failures. Each event type corresponds to a specific fault mode, which is the specific fault form and manifestation characteristics presented when the event occurs. For example, fault modes corresponding to mechanical faults may include bearing wear, pump instability, and internal component damage; fault modes corresponding to electrical faults may include transformer overheating and cable overload. By sorting and standardizing historical event data, each event type is accurately matched with its corresponding fault modes, forming the top-level classification structure of the knowledge base, laying the foundation for subsequent deeper associations.

[0044] The second layer constructs causal chains between failure modes and specific causal elements based on historical causal analysis results. These causal elements encompass the direct and root causes of the failure mode, as well as potential systemic causes. By deeply mining causal relationship data from historical events, the specific causes behind each failure mode are clarified. For example, the direct cause of a pump's unstable operation might be abnormal operating parameters, the root cause might be bearing wear, and the systemic cause might be an unreasonable maintenance cycle. These causal relationships are solidified into the knowledge base in chain form, forming a hierarchical and logically coherent knowledge system. This layered construction approach makes the event knowledge base structure clearer and the relationships more precise, facilitating rapid subsequent queries and providing a clear knowledge traceability path for the analysis of new events. This ensures that the knowledge base-based analysis process is efficient and reliable, fully leveraging the knowledge value of historical event data.

[0045] In some embodiments, the feature extraction and fusion analysis of the new event data based on the causal analysis model to identify the direct and systemic causes of the event and output the causal analysis results includes: The first neural network model is used to extract structured features from event data; The semantic features of the event description text are extracted using a second neural network model; The structured features are fused with semantic features, and an attention mechanism is used to determine the contribution of each feature to causal inference in order to generate the causal analysis results.

[0046] The first neural network model is specifically designed to extract structured features from event data. These features are information with fixed formats and quantifiable attributes, including directly quantifiable or standardized attributes such as the time of occurrence, the time of impact, the type of equipment involved, and the category to which the event belongs. The model accurately captures these objective and explicit features by analyzing the standardized new event data layer by layer, providing a solid factual basis for causal analysis. The second neural network model focuses on extracting semantic features from event description text. Event description text contains rich unstructured information such as the process of fault occurrence and operational details. The model can delve into the deeper semantics behind the text, such as implicit information like environmental conditions at the time of the fault, equipment operating status, and abnormal links in the operational process. It transforms textual information into feature vectors that can be used for analysis, supplementing key content at the subjective descriptive level that structured features fail to cover.

[0047] The feature fusion stage organically integrates the extracted structured features and semantic features to form a comprehensive feature set that fully reflects the multi-dimensional attributes of the new event. Subsequently, an attention mechanism is introduced to assign weights to the fused features. This mechanism can automatically identify the importance of different features in causal inference. For example, semantic features directly related to the fault may contribute more to the identification of the direct cause, while structured features related to the long-term operating status of the equipment may be more valuable for the analysis of systemic causes. By quantifying the contribution of each feature, the core influencing factors are highlighted and the interference of secondary information is weakened. Finally, based on the weighted comprehensive features, the direct cause and systemic cause of the event are accurately identified, and the causal analysis results with rigorous logic and reliable results are output, ensuring that the cause identification is both comprehensive and in line with the essence of the event.

[0048] In some embodiments, generating an experience feedback document containing cause analysis and improvement suggestions based on the causal analysis results and the relationships in the event knowledge base includes: Based on the preset document template, the basic information of the event, the results of causal analysis, and the related information matched from the event knowledge base are filled in to form the initial document; Based on the severity of the event, the scope of its impact, and the strength of the correlation between the causal factors, the improvement suggestions are prioritized and their content optimized.

[0049] The pre-built document template is a standardized framework that clearly defines the areas for displaying basic event information, presenting causal analysis results, supplementing related information, and listing improvement suggestions, providing a unified structural guide for document generation. When filling in the initial document, basic event information is directly extracted from the standardized new event data, including key content such as the event occurrence time, involved equipment, event type, and impact time, ensuring the authenticity and accuracy of the information; the causal analysis results fully incorporate the identified direct and systemic causes, clearly presenting the core issues of the event; the related information matched from the event knowledge base covers historical handling experience, cause correlation patterns, and other content related to similar events, providing a strong historical reference for the analysis of the current event. This information is precisely filled in according to the pre-set logical order and position of the template, forming a comprehensive and well-structured initial document.

[0050] Based on this, improvement suggestions are prioritized and optimized according to the severity, scope of impact, and correlation strength of causal factors of the event. The severity of the event is determined by its potential threat to the operational safety of the nuclear power plant. The scope of impact includes dimensions such as the operation of equipment systems affected by the event. The correlation strength of causal factors refers to the degree of consistency between the current event cause and the causes of similar events in the knowledge base. Combining these three key dimensions, improvement suggestions targeting core causes with a wide scope of impact and high severity are prioritized. At the same time, the content of the suggestions is optimized. Priority suggestions are supplemented with detailed implementation steps, clear execution standards, and reasonable time nodes, while non-priority suggestions maintain concise and accurate expression to ensure that the suggestions are both in line with the actual scenario and highly operable. The final experience feedback document has a clear structure and coherent logic, which can provide comprehensive and powerful guidance for operations personnel to quickly grasp key information about the event, take effective countermeasures, and prevent similar events from happening again.

[0051] In some embodiments, the method further includes: Based on the temporal characteristics of historical event data, a predictive model is used to predict the trend of event occurrence. Based on the prediction results, identify high-risk event types or equipment areas, and generate early warning information and preventive maintenance recommendations.

[0052] This step aims to proactively mitigate operational risks at nuclear power plants through forward-looking analysis, providing predictive support for safety management. The temporal characteristics of historical event data encompass key information reflecting temporal relationships, such as the chronological order of events, frequency of occurrence in different time periods, failure intervals, and seasonal or time-period distribution patterns. These characteristics reveal underlying patterns in event occurrence and form the core basis for trend prediction. Based on these temporal characteristics, a suitable predictive model is used to scientifically extrapolate event trends. The model employs deep learning to capture the changing patterns in historical time-series data, accurately identifying trends in event frequency, periodic fluctuations, and changes in the probability of sudden occurrences, thereby outputting the possible scenarios for various events in the future.

[0053] Subsequently, based on the prediction results, high-risk identification was conducted, screening out event types with a significantly increasing probability of occurrence, as well as equipment areas with concentrated failure frequencies, a high number of predicted failures, or a continuously rising risk level. The specific scope of high-risk event types and high-risk equipment areas was clearly defined to ensure accurate and efficient risk positioning. Finally, based on the identification results, targeted early warning information and preventative maintenance recommendations were generated. The early warning information clearly listed high-risk objects, the potential risk level, and the possible timeframe, allowing operators to keep abreast of risk dynamics. The preventative maintenance recommendations, combining high-risk characteristics and historical event handling experience, proposed actionable preemptive measures, such as shortening inspection cycles and increasing inspection items for high-risk equipment areas, optimizing maintenance processes, improving protection mechanisms, and adjusting operating parameters for high-risk event types. By intervening in advance to eliminate potential hazards, the probability of events is effectively reduced, further enhancing the safety and stability of nuclear power plant operations and achieving a management upgrade from passive response to proactive prevention.
