Since the 21st century, China has ushered in a new upsurge in hydropower energy development in large-scale river basin cascade hydropower. The hydropower station has the advantages of good regulation performance and flexible operation. It is the best frequency modulation and peak-shaving power supply. At the same time, the mutual compensation and adjustment between hydropower stations makes the utilization of electric energy more reliable, high-quality and economical, and has less environmental pollution. Therefore, the operation status monitoring and fault diagnosis of hydropower stations are an important guarantee for the safe and stable operation of hydropower stations. Real-time monitoring and fault diagnosis of the operation and deterioration laws of hydropower units can effectively avoid sudden failures and control the occurrence of gradual failures, thus reducing the maintenance cost of the unit and improving the life of the equipment and the efficiency of equipment operation.
