Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power equipment condition monitoring and fault diagnosis technology, specifically relating to a method and system for intelligent monitoring and diagnosis of solid-state transformers based on multi-source sensor fusion. Background Technology
[0002] Solid-state transformers (SSTs) are crucial energy routing equipment for building new power systems, and their operational reliability is paramount. SSTs integrate a large number of power semiconductor devices, high-frequency magnetic components, and passive components, and simultaneously withstand high temperatures during operation. , The electrical stress, along with the coupling effects of thermal, mechanical, and other physical field stresses, makes the fault mechanism complex.
[0003] Existing SST condition monitoring methods are mostly based on single or a few signals (such as temperature and current), failing to fully utilize the multi-source heterogeneous information generated during operation. Furthermore, SST fault signals exhibit significant differences: faults in power devices such as insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) and partial discharge generate high-frequency transient electrical signals; while faults such as core vibration and junction temperature drift manifest as slowly changing mechanical and thermal signals. Traditional methods employ a uniform processing strategy, making it difficult to simultaneously extract transient features from rapidly changing signals and refine trend information from slowly changing signals, resulting in insufficient fault feature extraction and difficulty in identifying early, weak faults.
[0004] At the level of feature fusion and diagnosis, existing methods usually simply stitch together features extracted from different sensors, ignoring the inherent topological relationships and spatiotemporal scale differences between different physical quantities. This fails to achieve deep heterogeneous feature fusion and limits the accuracy and generalization ability of diagnostic models.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method that can differentiate and intelligently integrate fault signals from multiple sources in SST to achieve comprehensive perception and accurate early warning of its operating status. Summary of the Invention
[0006] Purpose of the invention: The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method and system for intelligent monitoring and diagnosis of solid-state transformers based on multi-source sensor fusion, which aims to achieve synchronous perception of the multi-dimensional operating status of SST, accurate processing and feature extraction of fast and slow differentiated signals, and high-precision fault diagnosis and location through a deep feature fusion model.
[0007] The method includes the following steps:
[0008] Step 1: Construct a distributed multi-source sensor array to simultaneously collect multi-dimensional operating parameters such as temperature, vibration, partial discharge, current, voltage, and heat dissipation from the core module of the Solid State Transformer (SST). The collected analog signals are converted into digital signals and then buffered. The core module includes a power module, a rectifier module, an inverter module, a filter module, a core module, and a heat dissipation module.
[0009] Step 2: Based on the signal acquisition sampling frequency, the digital signals obtained in Step 1 are divided into two categories: high-frequency electrical fast-changing signals and thermal and mechanical slow-changing signals. Among them, the high-frequency electrical fast-changing signals are transient electrical signals corresponding to the switching transients and high-frequency partial discharges of the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) generated during the operation of the solid-state transformer (SST), while the thermal and mechanical slow-changing signals are thermal and mechanical steady-state signals corresponding to the core vibration and temperature drift generated during the operation of the solid-state transformer (SST).
[0010] Step 3: The core parameters of Multi-Scale Adaptive Variational Singular Spectrum Decomposition (MS-AVSSD) are optimized using the Chaos Adaptive Cauchy Variation-Eagle Optimization Algorithm (CACV-EO). The optimized MS-AVSSD is then used to decompose and denoise the high-frequency electrical fast-changing signal, extracting fault-sensitive features from the signal to form the first input feature set.
[0011] Step 4: Combining Improved Adaptive Frequency Focusing Wavelet Filtering (IAFF-WF) and Adaptive Synergistic Geometric Mode Decomposition (ASGMD), the thermal and mechanical slowly varying signals are filtered and decomposed to purify the fault-sensitive features in the thermal and mechanical slowly varying signals, forming the second input feature set;
[0012] Step 5: Perform feature normalization on the first input feature set extracted in step 3 and the second input feature set purified in step 4 to obtain a standardized feature set;
[0013] Step 6: Input the standardized feature set obtained in Step 5 into the Feature Projection-Gated Channel Attention Module-Gated Modal Attention Module-Conformer (FP-GCMA-GMNA-Conformer) end-to-end fusion model. The model is used to complete the fusion of multi-source fault-sensitive features and fault diagnosis, and output the fault type, fault location and fault severity of the solid-state transformer SST.

[0035] in, This represents the current iteration number of the algorithm. Let g be the fitness value of the g-th iteration. This is the convergence accuracy threshold. This indicates a logical AND operation.
[0036] Steps 3-7 involve iterative optimization in the parameter space. When the optimization criterion is satisfied, the optimal parameter combination of the multi-scale adaptive variational singular spectral decomposition MS-AVSSD is output. ,in This is the optimal decomposition scale. As the optimal penalty factor, This represents the optimal number of iterations.

It is the minimum value of the original feature of all samples in the same feature dimension as the original feature value. This is the maximum value of the original features of all samples within the same feature dimension as the original feature value;
[0057] In step 6, the FP-GCMA-GMNA-Conformer end-to-end fusion model performs fusion and diagnosis on the standardized feature set, specifically including the following steps:

The fitness value (signal-to-noise ratio) of the g-th iteration. ), Indicates the first The fitness value of each iteration. The convergence accuracy threshold (usually taken as...) ), The "AND" operator represents the logical AND condition, indicating that both conditions must be met simultaneously.

This model completes the fusion of multi-source fault-sensitive features and fault diagnosis, and outputs the fault type, fault location, and fault severity of the solid-state transformer (SST). The specific implementation process of the hierarchical structure and data processing flow of this end-to-end fusion model is as follows:
