An Early Warning Model for Turbine Intermediate-Stage Flux Failure Based on an Improved HEOA Algorithm Optimizing DMSE-GRU Model

Abstract

As renewable energy sources such as wind and photovoltaics continue to enter the grid, their intermittency and instability leads to an increasing demand for peaking and frequency regulation. An efficient dynamic monitoring method is necessary to improve the safety level of intelligent operation and maintenance of power stations. To overcome the insufficient detection accuracy and poor adaptability of traditional methods, a novel fault early warning method with careful consideration of dynamic characteristics and model optimization is proposed. A combined loss function is proposed based on the dynamic time warping and the mean square error from the perspective of both shape similarity and time similarity. A prediction model of steam turbine intermediate-stage extraction temperature based on the gate recurrent unit is then proposed, and the change in prediction residuals is utilized as a fault warning criterion. In order to further improve the diagnostic accuracy, a human evolutionary optimization algorithm with lens opposition-based learning is proposed for model parameter adaptive optimization. Experiments on real-world normal and faulty operational data demonstrate that the proposed method can improve the detection accuracy by an average of 1.31% and 1.03% compared to the long short-term memory network, convolutional neural network, back propagation network, extreme learning machines, gradient boosting decision tree, and LightGBM models.
