Description

A method and system for calculating equipment failure rate of offshore converter stations Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power technology, and mainly to a method and system for calculating the equipment failure rate of an offshore converter station. Background Technology

[0002] With the large-scale development and construction of deep-sea wind farms, offshore converter stations, as key hubs connecting offshore wind farms and the main power grid, are crucial to the reliability of the entire power transmission system. Offshore converter stations operate in harsh environments, facing numerous adverse factors such as high humidity, high salt spray, and strong winds and waves, making them more prone to failure compared to onshore converter stations. Accurately calculating the failure rate and expected annual mean time between failures (MTBF) of offshore converter stations provides crucial information for operation and maintenance strategy formulation, spare parts configuration, and power system reliability assessment. However, existing failure rate calculation methods are mostly designed for conventional onshore power facilities and are difficult to apply precisely to the unique scenario of offshore converter stations.

[0003] For example, CN117407788A, "Method, Device, Equipment, Storage Medium and Program Product for Fault Monitoring of Converter Stations," discloses a method for "acquiring real-time operating data of a converter station, then processing the real-time operating data based on multiple fault identification algorithms to obtain fault identification results output by each algorithm, each fault identification result including the probability of fault occurrence corresponding to different converter station fault types, then performing evidence body synthesis processing on multiple fault identification results based on an evidence chain synthesis diagnostic algorithm to determine the fault type of the target converter station from different converter station fault types, and finally, based on the target converter station..." The method of "using fault types to handle the operation and maintenance of converter stations" only focuses on the real-time working data of converter stations, and does not make sufficient use of historical fault data. Furthermore, it relies solely on multiple fault identification algorithms to process real-time data without considering factors such as the functional structure of converter station equipment. This leads to an incomplete understanding of faults and makes it difficult to quickly and accurately find the root cause of faults during operation and maintenance. In addition, the method does not involve the analysis of the overall failure rate of converter stations, making it difficult to grasp the operational reliability of converter stations from a macro perspective. This makes it impossible for operation and maintenance personnel to accurately assess the long-term stability and risk level of converter stations. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this application provides a method and system for calculating the equipment failure rate of an offshore converter station.

[0005] The technical solution of this application is as follows:

[0006] On one hand, this invention proposes a method for calculating the equipment failure rate of an offshore converter station, the method comprising:

[0007] Fault data of offshore converter station equipment within a preset time period is obtained, and the offshore converter station equipment is divided into components according to function; the autocorrelation function is used to perform correlation analysis on the fault time series to obtain the fault type; if it is a static fault, the confidence interval is constructed using the law of large numbers and normal distribution to obtain the initial fault rate of each component; if it is a dynamic fault, the initial fault rate of each component is obtained using a time series analysis model.

[0008] An environmental correction coefficient model is constructed to correct the initial failure rate of each component, resulting in the corrected component failure rate.

[0009] The fault weights of each component are obtained by analyzing the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The overall fault rate of the offshore converter station is obtained by combining the fault weights with the corrected component fault rates. The expected value of the annual average failure time is obtained based on the overall fault rate.

[0010] Preferably, the method further includes data cleaning of the fault data, the data cleaning including processing missing values, outliers and data format standardization.

[0011] Preferably, the fault data includes the number of faults, the average humidity of the offshore converter station, the salt spray concentration of the offshore converter station, the wind and wave level of the offshore converter station, and the component type.

[0012] Preferably, the autocorrelation function is used to perform correlation analysis on the fault time series to obtain the fault type, which is expressed by the formula:

[0013] In the formula, R(k) represents the value of the autocorrelation function; t i Let represent the failure time series of the i-th component; t represent the mean of the failure time series; k represent the lag order; n i This represents the number of failures of the i-th component;

[0014] Based on hypothesis testing, different autocorrelation function values ​​are analyzed. If the autocorrelation function value corresponding to the current k value is not zero, then there is a correlation between the fault times, and the fault type is a dynamic fault; otherwise, the fault type is a static fault.

[0015] The dynamic fault is specifically determined by using a time series analysis model to obtain the initial failure rate of each component, expressed by the formula: φ p =1-φ1B-φ2B 2 -...φ j B j -...-φ p B p j = 1, 2, ..., p;

[0016] In the formula, λi y represents the initial failure rate of the i-th component; t Indicates the predicted time interval; c represents the preset constant term; φ p B represents the autoregressive function of the p-th order autoregressive term; j Let represent the j-th order lag operator; B represents the lag operator; P represents the order of the autoregressive term; p represents the index value of the p-th order autoregressive term; θ q Let represent the moving average coefficient of the q-th order moving average term; Q represent the order of the moving average term; q represent the index value of the order of the q-th order moving average term; j represent the index value of the j-th order lag operator; ε t The noise figure is represented by h; the preset time step is represented by h.

[0017] The static failure is specifically determined by constructing confidence intervals using the law of large numbers and the normal distribution to obtain the initial failure rate of each component, expressed by the formula:

[0018] In the formula, T represents the preset failure time; α represents the preset significance level of the normal distribution; z α / 2 α represents the critical value when the significance level of the normal distribution is α / 2; i represents the index value of the i-th component.

[0019] Preferably, an environmental correction coefficient model is constructed to correct the initial failure rate of each component, expressed by the formula: K = a0 + a h H+a s S+a w W; kλ i =λ i ×K;

[0020] In the formula, kλ i Represents the corrected failure rate of the i-th component; K represents the environmental correction coefficient model; a0 represents the initial coefficients of the preset environmental correction coefficient model; a h Indicates the preset average humidity coefficient; H represents the average humidity; a s This represents the preset salt spray concentration coefficient; S represents the salt spray concentration; a w This indicates the preset wind and wave level coefficient; W represents the wind and wave level.

[0021] Preferably, the overall failure rate of the offshore converter station is obtained by combining the fault weights and the corrected component failure rate, specifically as follows:

[0022] The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used to analyze each component to obtain fault weights. Based on an expert scoring table, the importance of each pair of components is scored, resulting in a fault score matrix A = {a...} iz}, where a izThis represents the element value of the fault score matrix in the i-th row and z-th column, i.e., the score for the importance of every two components, where i represents the index of the i-th row and z represents the index of the z-th column. a ii =a zz =1;

[0023] The fault weights are calculated using the following formula:

[0024] In the formula, M i ω represents the product of the scores in the fault score matrix of the i-th row; i This represents the fault weight of the i-th component; This represents the fault weight of the i-th component after normalization; N represents the number of component categories.

[0025] The overall failure rate of the offshore converter station equipment is expressed by the formula:

[0026] Preferably, the expected mean time to failure (MTTF) is obtained based on the overall failure rate, expressed by the formula:

[0027] On the other hand, the present invention also proposes a system for calculating the equipment failure rate of an offshore converter station. The system includes a data acquisition module, a failure calculation module, a failure correction module, an expected annual average failure time calculation module, and a result output module, wherein:

[0028] The data acquisition module is used to acquire fault data of the offshore converter station equipment within a preset time period, and divide the offshore converter station equipment into components according to function; and transmit the fault data to the initial fault calculation module;

[0029] The fault calculation module is used to perform correlation analysis on the fault time series using the autocorrelation function to obtain the fault type; if it is a static fault, it uses the law of large numbers and normal distribution to construct confidence intervals to obtain the initial fault rate of each component; if it is a dynamic fault, it uses a time series analysis model to obtain the initial fault rate of each component.

[0030] The fault correction module is used to construct an environmental correction coefficient model to correct the initial failure rate of each component and obtain the corrected component failure rate.

[0031] The annual average failure time expectation calculation module is used to analyze each component using the analytic hierarchy process to obtain failure weights, and combine the failure weights with the corrected component failure rates to obtain the overall failure rate of the entire offshore converter station equipment; and obtain the annual average failure time expectation based on the overall failure rate.

[0032] The results output module is used to display the expected value of the average annual failure time.

[0033] In another aspect, the present invention also proposes an electronic device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the program to implement a method for calculating the equipment failure rate of an offshore converter station as described in any one of the embodiments.

[0034] In another aspect, the present invention also proposes a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements a method for calculating the equipment failure rate of an offshore converter station as described in any one of the embodiments.
