The invention provides a generator excitation
system fault detection method and
system, and the method comprises the steps: firstly collecting the historical data of a generator excitation
system, and forming a historical
data set; then, constructing a stacked sparse auto-
encoder network, taking the historical
data set as input, and training the stacked sparse auto-
encoder network in combination with a physical constraint equation of the generator excitation system; and finally, collecting real-
time data of a generator excitation system, inputting the real-
time data into the trained stacked sparse auto-
encoder network, calculating an SPE index, and carrying out fault diagnosis through an SPE index control limit.
Physical information is fused in the model training process, the detection result has high accuracy, the
interpretability of the result is enhanced, and compared with a pure data driving method, the method has the advantages that dependence on large-scale fault samples is remarkably reduced, and the detection accuracy is greatly improved in an unknown scene or a scene without faults. High detection precision and robustness can still be kept, and the generalization ability and
engineering applicability of the model are improved.
