Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of corrosion protection and prediction of marine engineering structures, and particularly relates to a cathodic protection potential prediction method for an FPSO riser support structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] FPSO riser support structures are long-term exposed to a marine environment with high salinity, high humidity and strong electrochemical corrosion, and the corrosion protection effect thereof is directly related to the safety and service life of the platform structure. Among them, impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) is the main anticorrosion means for protecting such structures. However, due to uneven current distribution, shielding effect and other factors, local areas of the cathodic protection may be under-protected or over-protected.

[0003] In view of the above, the prior art mainly uses the following two methods to predict the impressed current cathodic protection potential: one is numerical simulation based on electrochemical theory, and the other is a statistical method relying on field experience. However, the above techniques have certain technical limitations, for example: the numerical simulation process is complex and time-consuming, and it is difficult to meet the needs of real-time prediction; and the accuracy of the experience statistical method is limited, and it is difficult to effectively describe the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the system.

[0004] In addition, technical personnel have designed and developed various prediction models in the time series prediction field to help predict the impressed current cathodic protection potential. However, the inventors have found in further research that for the specific scene of FPSO riser support structure ICCP potential prediction, the related technology still has obvious shortcomings. For example, although the existing time series model can handle seasonal characteristics, its linear assumption cannot describe complex nonlinear processes; deep learning models such as LSTM models have strong nonlinear fitting capabilities, but they often have difficulty accurately capturing the inherent seasonal periodicity of potential data.

[0005] Therefore, it is urgent for technical personnel in the field to further provide a new and reliable FPSO riser support structure cathodic protection potential prediction method to overcome the complex time series problems existing in the FPSO riser support structure potential prediction process.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] This invention provides a method for predicting the cathodic protection potential of an FPSO riser support structure. This method combines the advantages of a seasonal autoregressive integral moving average model and a long short-term memory neural network to achieve collaborative modeling and high-precision prediction of linear and nonlinear characteristics in the potential data, resulting in high prediction accuracy and strong robustness.

[0016] like Figure 1As shown, the FPSO riser support structure cathodic protection potential prediction method provided by the present application specifically comprises the following steps: Step S1: Collecting historical potential time series data of the FPSO riser support structure under the condition of an applied cathodic protection potential, and pre-processing the historical potential time series data.

[0017] First, the historical potential time series data of the FPSO riser support structure under the condition of an applied cathodic protection potential is collected. Specifically, as a specific embodiment, a set of historical potential time series data is provided herein, in which 360 sample points are obtained, and the original sequence can be referred to as Figure 2 As shown, the annual periodicity (i.e. the seasonal parameter s=12) is obvious.

[0018] Then, the historical potential time series data is further pre-processed. As a more preferred embodiment of the present application, the process of pre-processing the historical potential time series data specifically comprises the following steps: Step S11: Using the ADF unit root test method to perform stationarity test on the historical potential time series data.

[0019] It is worth noting that, for the original historical potential time series data shown in Figure 2 , it can be found that the test result shows that the p-value is about 0.2963 (greater than the significance level of 0.05), so it is determined that the historical potential time series data is a non-stationary sequence.

[0020] Step S12: First-order difference processing is performed on the original sequence obtained after the stationarity test.

[0021] Step S13: ADF test is performed again on the sequence obtained after the first-order difference processing to ensure that the first-order difference sequence is converted into a stationary sequence.

[0022] Specifically, first-order difference processing is performed on the above historical potential time series data, and the sequence after the first-order difference processing can be referred to as Figure 3 As shown. Then, ADF test is performed again on the sequence obtained after the first-order difference processing, and it can be found that the p-value becomes 0.001 (less than 0.05), indicating that the sequence after the first-order difference processing has been converted into a stationary sequence.

[0023] Step S14: Drawing the autocorrelation graph and partial autocorrelation graph of the stationary sequence.

[0024] On the basis of completing steps S11-S13, the autocorrelation graph (ACF) and the partial autocorrelation graph (PACF) of the stationary sequence are further drawn, as shown in Figure 4a , Figure 4b It can be found that the tailing characteristics meet the modeling conditions of the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average model.

[0025] Step S15: dividing the stationary sequence into a training set and a test set in a ratio of 8:2.

[0026] Specifically, the stationary sequence is divided into a training set and a test set. The division ratio is implemented in a ratio of 8:2. That is, the first 288 data points are used for the training set for model training, and the last 72 data points are used for the test set for testing and verifying the prediction performance of the model.

[0027] Step S2: constructing and training a seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average model.

[0028] On the basis of completing step S1, step S2 is further implemented. As a more preferred embodiment of the present application, the process of constructing and training a seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average model in step S2 is specifically described as follows: The BIC information criterion is used to optimize the model parameters (p, d, q) x (P, D, Q) s of the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average model.

[0029] Specifically, the optimization range can be referred to as follows: the maximum values of p and q are set to 4, the maximum values of P and Q are set to 3, d = 1, D = 1, and s = 12. The BIC information criterion is used for determination, and the optimal seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average model structure is SARIMA(1, 1, 2) x (3, 1, 2) 12.

[0030] Based on the optimization result, the training set data is used for fitting to obtain a prediction value and a residual sequence.

[0031] On the basis of completing the above optimization operation, the optimization result is fitted to obtain a corresponding prediction value and calculate a residual sequence, i.e., a difference between the true value and the prediction value. The optimization result is obtained by comparing the prediction result with the true value on the test set, which can be referred to as shown in Figure 5 Specifically, the prediction evaluation index is: RMSE = 0.0125, MAE = 0.0101, and MAPE = 1.33%.

[0032] Step S3: constructing and training a long short-term memory neural network model.

[0033] On the basis of completing step S2, step S3 is further implemented. As a more preferred embodiment of the present application, the process of constructing and training a long short-term memory neural network model in step S3 is specifically described as follows: First, the residual sequence is normalized and preprocessed.

[0034] It is worth noting that the long short-term memory neural network model is constructed to capture the nonlinear fluctuation components that cannot be explained by the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average model in step S2.

[0035] Then, the residual sequence is used as input to construct a long short-term memory neural network model.

[0036] The long short-term memory neural network model has a three-layer structure, and the key hyperparameters are set as follows: the input sequence length is set to 60, the number of hidden layer units is set to 200, and the Dropout ratio is set to 0.2.

[0037] Finally, the long short-term memory neural network model is trained using the Adam optimizer, with mean square error as the loss function, and the network parameters are iteratively optimized by the backpropagation algorithm to complete the training of the long short-term memory neural network model.

[0038] Specifically, the long short-term memory neural network model is trained using the Adam optimizer, with an initial learning rate of 0.001, mean square error as the loss function, and the network parameters are iteratively optimized by the backpropagation algorithm. After training the long short-term memory neural network model, the residual in the test set period is used for prediction, and the prediction results are de-normalized to obtain the final prediction value of the nonlinear residual component. As a comparison, the difference between the prediction value and the true value of the original potential sequence predicted by the long short-term memory neural network model alone is shown in FIG. Figure 6 The prediction evaluation indicators are RMSE = 0.0288, MAE = 0.0237, and MAPE = 3.12%.

[0039] Step S4: Combining the prediction of the FPSO riser support structure cathodic protection potential target period to obtain the prediction result of the FPSO riser support structure cathodic protection potential target period.

[0040] Based on the completion of steps S1-S3, step S4 is further implemented. As a more preferred embodiment of the present application, step S4 specifically includes the following steps: Step S41: Using the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average model to predict the linear prediction component of the FPSO riser support structure cathodic protection potential target period.

[0041] Step S42: Using the long short-term memory neural network model to predict the nonlinear residual prediction component of the FPSO riser support structure cathodic protection potential target period.

[0042] Step S43: superimposing the linear prediction component of the FPSO riser support structure cathodic protection potential target period and the nonlinear residual prediction component of the FPSO riser support structure cathodic protection potential target period to obtain the prediction result of the FPSO riser support structure cathodic protection potential target period.

[0043] For the FPSO riser support structure cathodic protection potential target period, the difference between the predicted value and the true value of the final prediction result of the FPSO riser support structure cathodic protection potential target period can be obtained after superimposing the linear prediction component output in step S2 and the nonlinear residual prediction component output in step S3, which can be compared as shown in Figure 7 It is worth noting that compared with the prediction result using a single mode, the prediction method provided by the present application has the highest fitting degree of the prediction curve and the actual value and the smallest error fluctuation range. Further reference can be made to Figure 8 as shown. Figure 8 Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 The comparison between the prediction curve and the true value can be found in the schematic diagram, which fully proves the comprehensive advantages of the FPSO riser support structure cathodic protection potential prediction method in capturing the linear trend, seasonal regularity and nonlinear dynamics of the potential sequence, and has the characteristics of high prediction accuracy and strong robustness.

[0044] The present application provides a FPSO riser support structure cathodic protection potential prediction method. Wherein, the FPSO riser support structure cathodic protection potential prediction method specifically comprises the following steps: step S1: collecting historical potential time series data of FPSO riser support structure under the condition of impressed cathodic protection potential, and preprocessing the historical potential time series data; step S2: constructing and training a seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average model; step S3: constructing and training a long short-term memory neural network model; step S4: combining prediction of FPSO riser support structure cathodic protection potential target period to obtain the prediction result of FPSO riser support structure cathodic protection potential target period.

[0045] The FPSO riser support structure cathodic protection potential prediction method with the above step characteristics has at least the following technical advantages compared with the prior art: (1) high prediction accuracy: through data fusion of the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average model and the long short-term memory neural network model, the comprehensive fitting ability of each model is significantly improved. Experimental results show that the average absolute percentage error (MAPE) of the FPSO riser support structure cathodic protection potential prediction method provided by the present application is about 1.08%, which is significantly lower than the error of the existing single model; ​(2) Strong prediction stability: the FPSO riser support structure cathodic protection potential prediction method provided by the application improves the fitting degree between the prediction curve and the actual value by combining the FPSO riser support structure cathodic protection potential in the whole cycle, the error fluctuation is small, and the prediction result has strong robustness and generalization ability; (3) Strong practicability: the FPSO riser support structure cathodic protection potential prediction method provided by the application provides more reliable data support for the corrosion protection and intelligent operation and maintenance of the FPSO offshore platform, which helps to realize preventive maintenance and reduces the operation risk and cost.

[0046] The above is only a specific embodiment of the application, but the protection scope of the application is not limited thereto, any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the application. Therefore, the protection scope of the application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
