Intelligent phase checking method and system for substation

The present invention belongs to the technical field of smart substations, and specifically relates to a method and system for smart phase checking in substations. The method constructs a dynamic priority evaluation model, integrates multi-source data of four basic factors: voltage phase difference, ambient temperature and humidity, equipment vibration, and historical error, and uses a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to calculate weights and dynamically sort them. A multi-port phase scattering model is constructed based on the substation topology, and impedance mismatch points are analyzed with the help of a Smith chart to implement two-stage optimization. A three-layer decision input set is constructed based on the optimization model, and a fuzzy logic-driven adaptive rule engine is designed to dynamically output the operating condition level and match the phase checking strategy. Multi-dimensional quality assessment is performed through real-time monitoring of indicators such as reflection coefficient, dynamically updating factor weights, optimizing fuzzy model parameters, and integrating LSTM and graph neural networks to realize abnormal pattern recognition and compensation strategy solidification, forming a self-evolving closed-loop system, and ultimately achieving a transition from precise matching to autonomous evolution in the phase checking process.
