Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an oil leakage determination system for an oil-filled cable. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a technique for determining the possibility of oil leakage from an oil-filled cable is known. Patent Documents 1 to 3 describe this type of technique. Patent Document 1 describes a method for determining an approximate statistical function of the oil volume or oil pressure using the oil volume, oil pressure, current, and outside air temperature of an oil tank of an oil-filled cable in a state where there is no oil leakage, determining the difference between the oil volume or oil pressure value obtained from the approximate statistical function and the current oil volume or oil pressure value, and determining an oil leakage when the difference increases. Patent Document 2 describes a method for determining an actual measured oil volume pattern for a current specified period and an actual measured oil volume pattern for a past specified period under the same conditions as the current specified period, and detecting an oil leakage from an oil-filled cable by comparing the current actual measured oil volume pattern with the past actual measured oil volume pattern. Patent Document 3 describes an apparatus for calculating a prediction formula by multiple regression analysis using the oil volume, oil pressure, or gas pressure as a target variable and one or more temperature types as explanatory variables, and monitoring an abnormality of an oil-filled cable using the prediction formula.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2-28529 [Patent Document 2] JP 2008-259313 A [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 6-105444 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in the techniques of Patent Documents 1 and 2, since an oil leak is judged after comparing the increase or decrease in the oil volume or oil pressure over a predetermined period, the smaller the amount of oil leakage, the longer the judgment takes. Also, in the technique described in Patent Document 3, the influence of factors other than the parameters such as the temperature type used as explanatory variables to obtain the oil volume or oil pressure may not be reflected in the judgment result, so there is room for improvement in terms of more accurately judging the possibility of an oil leak.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide an oil leakage determination system that can more accurately and quickly determine the possibility of oil leakage from an oil-filled cable. [Means for solving the problem]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment.

[0013] The oil leakage determination system 1 according to this embodiment is a system for determining the possibility of oil leakage from an oil-filled cable. FIG.

[0014] An oil-filled cable is a power cable (so-called OF cable) whose inside is filled with insulating oil. The oil-filled cable is connected to an oil tank (not shown) in which the insulating oil is stored. The oil level, which is the amount of insulating oil in the oil tank, decreases when the oil-filled cable leaks due to damage to the oil-filled cable, etc.

[0015] The oil leakage determination system 1 of this embodiment acquires information including the oil level of the oil tank of the oil-filled cable, such as the amount of oil and the hydraulic pressure, and determines the possibility of oil leakage. The oil leakage determination system 1 includes a storage unit 20 and a control unit 10.

[0016] The storage unit 20 stores past data on the oil level of the oil tank of the oil-filled cable (hereinafter, oil level data), as well as the power amount data and temperature data at the time of acquiring the oil level data. The storage unit 20 includes an oil level data storage unit 21, a power amount data storage unit 22, and a temperature data storage unit 23.

[0017] The oil level data storage unit 21 has an oil amount data storage unit 211 and an oil pressure data storage unit 212. In this embodiment, the oil amount data storage unit 211 and the oil pressure data storage unit 212 store the oil levels in the oil tank of the oil-filled cable for each month over the past several years. Specifically, the oil amount data storage unit 211 stores oil amount data for each month over the past several years. The oil pressure data storage unit 212 stores oil pressure data for each month over the past several years.

[0018] The electric energy data storage unit 22 stores electric energy data for the past year. Specifically, electric energy data at the time of acquisition of each oil level data stored in the oil level data storage unit 21 is stored. That is, the electric energy data storage unit 22 stores monthly electric energy data for the past several years. Furthermore, the electric energy data stored in the electric energy data storage unit 22 may be an average of the amount of electric energy flowing through the entire oil-filled cable, or may be the amount of electric energy flowing through a partial section of the oil-filled cable.

[0019] The temperature data storage unit 23 stores temperature data throughout the past year. Specifically, the temperature data at the time each oil level data stored in the oil level data storage unit 21 was acquired is stored. That is, the temperature data storage unit 23 stores monthly temperature data for the past several years. The storage unit 20 stores the power amount data corresponding to the stored oil level data and the temperature data in association with each other.

[0020] The control unit 10 is a part that controls the entire oil leakage determination system 1, and realizes various functions in this embodiment by appropriately reading and executing various programs from a storage area such as a ROM, a RAM, a flash memory, or a hard disk (HDD). The control unit 10 may be a CPU.

[0021] The control unit 10 includes an acquisition unit 11 , an oil level identification unit 12 , a threshold setting unit 13 , an oil leakage determination unit 14 , and an alarm generation unit 15 .

[0022] The acquisition unit 11 acquires the oil level of the oil tank of the oil-filled cable, and the amount of electric power and the air temperature at the time of acquiring the oil level. The acquisition unit 11 has an oil level acquisition unit 111, an electric power amount acquisition unit 112, and an air temperature acquisition unit 113.

[0023] The oil level acquisition unit 111 acquires the oil level such as the amount of oil in the oil tank of the oil-filled cable, the oil pressure, etc. The oil level acquired by the oil level acquisition unit 111 may be the oil level transmitted from a sensor provided in the oil tank of the oil-filled cable, or the oil level transmitted from the oil level identification unit 12 described later. Alternatively, it may be the oil level input by an operator who checks the scale of the oil gauge or oil pressure gauge in the oil tank and transmitted to the control unit 10.

[0024] The electric power amount acquiring unit 112 acquires the amount of electric power flowing in the oil-filled cable. The amount of electric power acquired by the electric power amount acquiring unit 112 may be the average amount of electric power flowing through an entire oil-filled cable, or may be the amount of electric power flowing through a partial section of an oil-filled cable.

[0025] The air temperature acquisition unit 113 acquires the air temperature on the ground where the oil-filled cable is laid. The air temperature acquired by the air temperature acquisition unit 113 may be a value obtained from a temperature sensor or a thermometer that measures the outside air temperature at the local site, or may be a value announced by a weather observation station. The acquisition unit 11 acquires the oil level, the amount of power, and the air temperature at approximately the same time.

[0026] The oil level identifying unit 12 identifies the oil level of the oil tank of the oil-filled cable using learning data constructed by the machine learning device 30 described below. The oil level identifying unit 12 identifies the oil level based on the learning data constructed by the machine learning device 30 and image data of the oil gauge and oil pressure gauge. The oil level identified by the oil level identifying unit 12 is transmitted to the oil level acquisition unit 111. The process of identifying the oil level by the oil level identifying unit 12 will be described in detail later.

[0027] The threshold setting unit 13 sets a predetermined threshold range based on the difference between the temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 113 and the temperature data stored in the temperature data storage unit 23. Specifically, the threshold setting unit 13 sets a predetermined threshold range for the oil level acquired by the oil level acquisition unit 111 based on the difference between the temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 113 and the temperature data for the same period in the past from the time when the temperature was acquired. In this specification, the "same period" means a period in the same season, the same month, or different months with a difference in dates of less than one month. The temperature data for the same period in the past may be the temperature at any date and time in the same period in the past, the average temperature of any day in the same period in the past, or the average temperature for one month in the same period in the past.

[0028] The threshold range set by the threshold setting unit 13 is set so that the range becomes wider as the difference between the temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 113 and the past temperature data increases.

[0029] In this embodiment, the threshold setting unit 13 corrects the threshold range based on the power amount data associated with the temperature data used to set the threshold range and the power amount acquired by the power amount acquisition unit 112. Specifically, when the power amount acquired by the power amount acquisition unit 112 is higher than a predetermined value, the threshold setting unit 13 corrects the threshold range to be the range set using a temperature higher than the temperature used to set the threshold range, and conversely, when the power amount is lower than the predetermined value, the threshold setting unit 13 corrects the threshold range to be the range set using a temperature lower than the temperature used to set the threshold range. Then, when the power amount data associated with the temperature data used to set the threshold range is higher than a predetermined value, the threshold setting unit 13 corrects the threshold range to be the range set using the temperature data higher than the temperature data used to set the threshold range, and conversely, when the power amount data is lower than the predetermined value, the threshold setting unit 13 corrects the threshold range to be the range set using the temperature data lower than the temperature data used to set the threshold range.

[0030] The oil leakage determination unit 14 determines the possibility of oil leakage from the oil-filled cable based on the difference between the oil level acquired by the oil level acquisition unit 111 and the oil level data stored in the oil level data storage unit 21, and the threshold range set and corrected by the threshold setting unit 13. Specifically, the oil leakage determination unit 14 determines that there is a possibility of oil leakage from the oil-filled cable when the difference between the oil level acquired by the oil level acquisition unit 111 and the oil level data for the same period in the past from the time the oil level was acquired falls outside the threshold range set and corrected by the threshold setting unit 13. The oil level data used to set the threshold range is data linked to the temperature data used to set the threshold range.

[0031] The alarm generating unit 15 generates an alarm when the oil leakage determination unit 14 determines that there is a possibility of oil leakage from the oil-filled cable. The type of alarm is not particularly limited. For example, an alarm may be sounded using a buzzer or speaker, light may be emitted using a lighting device such as an LED, or a message warning of the occurrence of oil leakage may be displayed on a display.

[0032] The oil level data, power data, and temperature data used by the oil leakage determination system 1 to determine an oil leakage may be, for example, data from one year prior to the time the oil level, power data, and temperature were acquired by the acquisition unit 11. By using data from one year prior, which has not been acquired for many years, for determining an oil leakage, the difference in the physical properties of oil leakage at the time of oil leakage determination and in the past due to the equipment of the oil-filled cable and the number of years of use of the insulating oil can be reduced, and the possibility of an oil leakage can be determined more accurately.

[0033] Next, the transition of the amount of oil in the oil tank of the oil-filled cable throughout the year and the relationship between the amount of oil and the temperature will be described. Figure 2 is a diagram showing the amount of oil (L) in the oil tank of the oil-filled cable throughout the year from FY2013 to FY2017. The vertical axis of Figure 2 shows the amount of oil (L), and the horizontal axis shows the month when the amount of oil was measured. Figure 3 is a diagram showing the temperature (℃) and the amount of oil in the oil tank of the oil-filled cable throughout the year from FY2016 to FY2017. The vertical axis on the left side of Figure 3 shows the amount of oil (L), the vertical axis on the right side shows the temperature (℃) when the amount of oil was measured, and the horizontal axis shows the month when the amount of oil was measured. In Figures 2 and 3, the two-dot chain lines show the upper limit and lower limit of the amount of oil that can be stored in the oil tank of the oil-filled cable. In Figure 3, the solid line shows the transition of the amount of oil and the temperature in FY2017, and the dashed line shows the transition of the amount of oil and the temperature in FY2016. The oil amounts shown in Figs. 2 and 3 were measured on a specific day once each month.

[0034] As shown in Figure 2, the annual oil volume trend follows a similar pattern each year. As shown in Figure 2, the oil volume for the same month each year tends to be similar, although there is some variation. One possible reason for this is that oil expands in the summer when temperatures are high, increasing the volume, and the volume decreases in the winter when temperatures are low.

[0035] As shown in Figure 3, there are cases where the difference in oil volume measured in the same month is relatively large. For example, when comparing the oil volumes in May of FY2016 and FY2017, the oil volume in FY2017 is about 14 L higher than the oil volume in FY2016. This is thought to be because the temperature in FY2017 at the time of measurement was about 14°C higher than the temperature in FY2016. Also, when comparing the oil volumes in October of FY2016 and FY2017, the oil volume in FY2017 is about 18 L lower than the oil volume in FY2016. This is thought to be because the temperature in FY2017 at the time of measurement was about 10°C lower than the temperature in FY2016.

[0036] On the other hand, when comparing the monthly oil volume trends in the same fiscal year, although there is an influence from temperature, the oil volume generally tends to be higher as it gets closer to August and lower as it gets closer to February. The temperature at the time of oil volume measurement in April 2016 was about 2°C higher than the temperature in May, but the oil volume in April 2016 was lower than the oil volume in May. Also, the temperature at the time of oil volume measurement in January 2016 was about 2°C lower than the temperature in February, but the oil volume in January 2016 was lower than the oil volume in February. Therefore, although there is an influence from the temperature at the time of measurement, it is considered that the measurement is generally strongly influenced by the time of measurement. This is considered to be because the activity and living conditions of electricity users in each season, such as the frequency of electricity use, affect the increase or decrease in oil volume.

[0037] In this embodiment, the threshold range is set based on the difference between the oil level obtained by the oil level acquisition unit 111 and the oil level data for the same period in the past from the time the oil level was acquired, taking into account the difference in temperature between the time the oil level was acquired and the same period in the past, thereby making it possible to more accurately and quickly determine the possibility of oil leakage.

[0038] Next, an example of the process of oil leakage determination for an oil-filled cable by the oil leakage determination system 1 will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of the process of oil leakage determination by the oil leakage determination system 1.

[0039] In step S1, the acquisition unit 11 acquires the oil level of the oil tank of the oil-filled cable, the amount of power flowing through the oil-filled cable, and the air temperature. In this embodiment, the oil level is acquired by the oil level acquisition unit 111 receiving information from the oil level identification unit 12.

[0040] In step S2, the threshold setting unit 13 extracts the oil level data, the power amount data, and the temperature data stored in the memory unit 20. Specifically, the threshold setting unit 13 extracts one set of oil level data, power amount data, and temperature data that are linked to each other for the same past period from the time when the oil level, power amount, and temperature were acquired in step S1.

[0041] In step S3, the threshold setting unit 13 calculates the temperature difference X by subtracting the temperature data extracted in step S2 from the temperature acquired in step S1.

[0042] In step S4, the threshold setting unit 13 sets a threshold range Z1 for the oil level based on the air temperature difference X calculated in step S3.

[0043] In step S5, the threshold setting unit 13 corrects the threshold range Z set in step S4 based on the amount of power acquired in step S1 and the amount of power data extracted in step S2.

[0044] The process of step S6 is executed in parallel with the processes of steps S3 to S5. In step S6, the oil leakage determination unit 14 calculates an oil level difference Y by subtracting the oil level data extracted in step S2 from the oil level acquired in step S1.

[0045] In step S7, the oil leakage determination unit 14 compares the oil level difference Y calculated in step S6 with the threshold range Z2 corrected in step S5. Specifically, if the oil level difference Y is within the corrected threshold range Z2 (Yes in step S7), the oil leakage determination unit 14 determines that there is no possibility of oil leakage and completes the oil leakage determination process. On the other hand, if the oil level difference Y is determined to be outside the threshold range Z2 (No in step S7), the oil leakage determination unit 14 determines that there is a possibility of oil leakage and proceeds to step S8.

[0046] When the oil leakage determination unit 14 determines that an oil leakage has occurred in the oil-filled cable by the process of step S7, the alarm generation unit 15 generates an alarm in step S8. When the alarm generation unit 15 generates an alarm, the control unit 10 completes the process of the oil leakage determination.

[0047] Next, the machine learning device 30 will be described with reference to Fig. 5 to Fig. 7B. Fig. 5 is a functional block diagram of the machine learning device 30. Fig. 6A and Fig. 6B are diagrams showing oil volume data and image data, which are teaching data. Fig. 7A and Fig. 7B are diagrams showing oil pressure data and image data, which are teaching data.

[0048] The machine learning device 30 is connected to the oil leakage determination system 1 via a network (not shown), and they can communicate with each other via the network. The network is, for example, a local area network (LAN), the Internet, a public telephone network, or a combination of these. There are no particular limitations on the specific communication method in the network, or whether the connection is wired or wireless. The machine learning device 30 and the oil leakage determination system 1 may be directly connected via a connection unit, rather than communicating via a network.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 5, the machine learning device 30 includes an image data acquisition unit 31, an oil level data acquisition unit 32, and a machine learning unit 33.

[0050] The image data acquisition unit 31 acquires image data A1 and A2, which are photographs including as a subject the scale of an oil gauge provided in an oil tank of an oil-filled cable, as shown in Figures 6A and 6B. Also, for example, the image data acquisition unit 31 acquires image data C1 and C2, which are photographs including as a subject the scale of an oil pressure gauge, as shown in Figures 7A and 7B.

[0051] For example, as shown in Figures 6A and 6B, the oil level data acquiring unit 32 acquires the value indicated by the scale of an oil gauge provided in an oil tank of the oil-filled cable as the oil quantity data B1, B2. Also, for example, as shown in Figures 7A and 7B, the oil level data acquiring unit 32 acquires the value indicated by the scale of an oil pressure gauge provided in an oil tank of the oil-filled cable as the oil pressure data D1, D2.

[0052] The machine learning unit 33 constructs a learning model by performing supervised learning using a pair of image data and oil volume data or a pair of image data and oil pressure data as teacher data. For example, the machine learning unit 33 constructs a learning model for determining the oil volume by performing supervised learning using a plurality of teacher data such as a pair of image data A1 and oil volume data B1 or a pair of image data A2 and oil volume data B2. The machine learning unit 33 also constructs a learning model for determining the oil pressure by performing supervised learning using a plurality of teacher data such as a pair of image data C1 and oil pressure data D1 or a pair of image data C2 and oil pressure data D2. The machine learning unit 33 transmits the constructed learning model to the oil level identification unit 12 of the oil leakage determination system 1.

[0053] Next, the process of determining the oil level by the oil level determining unit 12 will be described.

[0054] The oil level identifying unit 12 identifies the oil level of the oil tank of the oil-filled cable based on the learning model constructed by the machine learning device 30 and newly acquired image data of the oil gauge scale and image data of the oil pressure gauge scale. Specifically, the oil level identifying unit 12 inputs image data of the oil gauge scale and image data of the oil pressure gauge scale acquired by an image acquisition means (not shown) such as a camera into the learning model, and regards the oil volume data and oil pressure data output from the learning model as the oil level of the oil-filled cable. Then, the oil level identifying unit 12 transmits information on the identified oil level to the oil level acquisition unit 111.

[0055] The oil leakage determination system 1 according to the present embodiment described above provides the following advantages.

[0056] The oil leakage determination system 1 of this embodiment is an oil leakage determination system 1 that determines the possibility of oil leakage from an oil-filled cable, and includes a memory unit 20 that stores air temperature data throughout the past year and oil level data in the oil tank of the oil-filled cable, an acquisition unit 11 that acquires air temperature and the oil level in the oil tank of the oil-filled cable, a threshold setting unit 13 that sets a predetermined threshold range based on the difference between the air temperature acquired by the acquisition unit 11 and the air temperature data for the same period in the past from the time the air temperature was acquired, and an oil leakage determination unit 14 that determines that there is a possibility of oil leakage when the difference between the oil level acquired by the acquisition unit 11 and the oil level data for the same period in the past from the time the oil level was acquired falls outside the threshold range.

[0057] This allows the system to set a threshold range based on the difference in temperature between the current and past oil level measurements, and quickly executes the process of determining whether or not there is an oil leak by comparing the current oil level measurement value with past oil level data from the same time period.In addition, the system takes into account the temperature that affects the oil level, and determines the possibility of an oil leak from the difference in oil level between the current and past times when the climate and the activity and living conditions of electricity users are similar, further improving the accuracy of determining whether or not there is an oil leak.

[0058] In this embodiment, the memory unit 20 further stores data on the amount of electricity flowing through the oil-filled cable throughout the past year, the acquisition unit 11 further acquires the amount of electricity flowing through the oil-filled cable, and the threshold setting unit 13 corrects the threshold range based on the electricity amount data stored in the memory unit 20 and the amount of electricity acquired by the acquisition unit 11.

[0059] This allows the threshold range to be corrected taking into account the amount of power that affects the oil level, making it possible to more accurately determine the possibility of an oil leak.

[0060] In this embodiment, the oil level is at least one of the oil volume and the oil pressure, which allows a more accurate determination of the possibility of an oil leakage of the oil volume or the oil pressure.

[0061] In this embodiment, the oil leakage determination system 1 further includes an oil level identification unit 12 that identifies the oil level in the oil tank of the oil-filled cable by using a learning model constructed by performing supervised learning using as teacher data at least a pair of oil volume data in the oil tank of the oil-filled cable and image data of the scale of the oil gauge of the oil tank, or a pair of oil pressure data in the oil tank of the oil-filled cable and image data of the scale of the oil pressure gauge of the oil tank.

[0062] This makes it possible to use a learning model to identify the oil level from an image of the scale on the oil gauge or oil pressure gauge, eliminating the need for workers to read the scale on the oil gauge or oil pressure gauge, and enabling accurate values ​​to be obtained quickly.

[0063] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and can be modified as appropriate.

[0064] In the above embodiment, the oil leakage determination system 1 includes the power amount acquiring unit 112 and the power amount data storage unit 22, but may be configured not to include the power amount acquiring unit 112 and the power amount data storage unit 22. In other words, the threshold setting unit 13 of the oil leakage determination system 1 may be configured not to correct the threshold range.

[0065] In the above embodiment, the oil leakage determination system 1 includes the oil level specifying unit 12. However, the oil leakage determination system 1 may not include the oil level specifying unit 12.

[0066] In the above embodiment, the memory unit 20 stores the amount of electricity at the time of acquisition of each oil level data stored in the oil level data memory unit 21 as electricity energy data, and stores the air temperature as air temperature data, but, for example, it may also store the average amount of electricity on the day when the oil level data was acquired as electricity energy data, and store the average air temperature as air temperature data.

[0067] In the above embodiment, the oil leakage determination system 1 extracts one set of oil level data, power amount data, and temperature data for the same period in the past from the time when the oil level, power amount, and temperature were acquired, and uses it to determine the oil leakage, but multiple sets of oil level data, power amount data, and temperature data may be used. For example, multiple sets of oil level data, power amount data, and temperature data for multiple years in the same period in the past from the time when the oil level, power amount, and temperature were acquired may be extracted, and the process of determining the possibility of oil leakage may be performed using the averaged oil level data, power amount data, and temperature data.

[0068] In the above embodiment, the storage unit 20 stores monthly oil level data, power data, and temperature data for the past several years, but there is no particular limit to the number of pieces of data for the same year stored in the storage unit 20. For example, daily oil level data, power data, and temperature data for the past several years may be recorded.

[0069] In the above embodiment, the oil amount or oil pressure is taken as an example of the oil level in the oil tank of the oil-filled cable, but the oil level may be the gas pressure in the oil tank of the oil-filled cable. [Explanation of symbols]
