Abstract:The pressure fluctuation has multiple influence on the steady operation of Francis turbine, and the impact degree varies with the operation condition. In this paper, for the analysis of pressure fluctuation in the Francis turbine, a novel feature extraction method of multidimensional frequency bands energy ratio is proposed based on Hilbert Huang Transform (HHT). Firstly, the pressure fluctuation signal is decomposed into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) by EEMD. Secondly, the Hilbert marginal spectrum is utili… Show more
“…The pressure fluctuation of the draft tube will have an impact on the vibration of unit components. At the upper frame, there are obvious lowfrequency components (1/3-1/5)f 1 (f 1 is the unit rotation frequency) superposition in the upper frame vibration waveform [27]. Therefore, fault are to the upper frame vibration waveform of the unit under normal conditions, and abnormal vibration caused by the draft tube vortex belt is simulated, which is marked as an analog fault.…”

To address the misidentification problem of signals containing unknown faults for hydropower units, a progressive fault diagnosis system is designed. Firstly, in view of the non-stationary and nonlinear vibration signals of hydropower units, the method of complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition is used to process the normal and fault vibration signal samples, and the intrinsic mode function (IMF) and residual components with different frequencies are obtained. Then the IMF energy moment is calculated and used as the feature vector. Furthermore, a classifier (IMF-K1) is constructed based on the feature vector samples of the normal vibration signals of hydropower units, fault symptom indicators, and K-means algorithm to determine whether the hydropower unit is faulty; a classifier (IMF-K2) is constructed based on the feature vector samples of the fault vibration signals of hydropower units, fault symptom indicators, and K-means algorithm to determine whether the hydropower unit has the known fault; a classifier (IMF-bidirectional long short-term memory neural network (BiLSTMNN)) is constructed to distinguish the fault type of hydropower units by combining the eigenvector samples of known fault vibration signals, fault symptom indicators, and BiLSTMNN. Finally, a progressive fault diagnosis system for hydropower units is constructed using IMF-K1, IMF-K2, and IMF-BiLSTMNN, and comparative experiments are designed using the sample data from the rotor test bench and actual hydropower unit. The results show that the designed progressive fault diagnosis system has greater effectiveness in mining signal features and high fault diagnosis accuracy.

“…At present, fault diagnosis mainly focuses on feature extraction and trend prediction of monitoring signals of units, and the characteristic quantity of monitoring signals, especially Energies 2023, 16, 5592 2 of 19 vibration signals, is extracted by the signal processing method to judge the operating state and fault type of units [1,2]. At present, most of the studies focus on single-point signal analysis, focusing on local diagnosis, lack of evaluation, and analysis of the whole condition of the unit.…”
Because a single monitoring index cannot fully reflect the overall operating status of the hydropower unit, a comprehensive state evaluation model for hydropower units based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the Gaussian threshold improved fuzzy evaluation is proposed. First, the unit equipment was divided into a hierarchical system, and a three-tier structure system (target layer-project layer-index layer) of the unit was constructed, and the weight of each component in the system was determined by the comprehensive weighting method. Secondly, according to the characteristics of the normal distribution of the historical health data of the unit, the upper and lower limits of the index were determined based on the Gaussian threshold principle, the real-time monitoring index degradation degree was calculated according to the index limit, and the degradation degree was applied to the fuzzy evaluation model to obtain the fuzzy judgment matrix. The result of assessment was divided into four sections: good, qualified, vigilant, and abnormal. Finally, combined with the unit hierarchical structure system, the weighted calculation of the fuzzy judgment matrix of each indicator, the overall fuzzy judgment matrix of the upper-level indicators of the unit was obtained, and the operating status of the unit was judged according to the matrix. Taking a real power plant unit as an example, the model was verified, and compared with other evaluation methods, the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed method were verified. In addition, the method proposed in this paper effectively solved the problems of index weighting and index limit determination in the existing model of unit condition evaluation.

Load shedding processes are widespread in hydropower stations, which has great influence on the safe and stable operation of the hydro-turbine governing system. In order to study the dynamic characteristics of the hydro-turbine governing system during the load shedding process, a novel nonlinear mathematical model of the hydro-turbine governing system is established considering the hydro-turbine system, the generator system and the governor system. In particular, a novel nonlinear mathematical model of the six hydro-turbine transfer coefficients is presented based on the definitions and hydro-turbine internal characteristics. After that, from the viewpoint of nonlinear dynamics and the practical engineering, the dynamic characteristics of the hydro-turbine governing system are investigated utilizing bifurcation diagrams, time series, Poincare maps, power spectrums and phase planes. Some meaningful results are found. The advantages of the novel nonlinear mathematical model are illustrated and commented in detail in comparison with the previous model. Finally, these models and analysis results will provide some theoretical references for the operation of hydropower stations in the load shedding transient.Energies 2018, 11, 1244 2 of 17 to optimizing the control of the HTGS.
