[0045] Figure 2 This invention relates to a diagram showing the arrangement of gas sensors in a U-shaped roadway of a coal mine.
[0046] Figure 3 The calculation process of the particle swarm optimization algorithm of this invention. Detailed Implementation
[0047] To further understand the present invention, the present invention will be described below with reference to embodiments. These descriptions are only for further explaining the features and advantages of the present invention and are not intended to limit the claims of the present invention.
[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the underground gas leak source location system of the present invention consists of N gas sensors and 1 central processing unit. The gas sensors are responsible for detecting the gas concentration in the monitored area of the underground coal mine, and the central processing unit performs data processing and calculation to obtain the gas leak source location information.
[0049] This invention discloses a method for locating gas leak sources in underground coal mines. First, a revised Gaussian plume model is constructed. Then, the model parameters of the revised Gaussian plume model are solved using an optimization algorithm to obtain a revised Gaussian plume model suitable for the area to be measured in the underground coal mine. Using the obtained revised Gaussian plume model, the coordinates of the point of maximum gas concentration are searched in the search space using another optimization algorithm to determine the location of the gas leak source. The preferred optimization algorithm is particle swarm optimization.
[0050] The present invention provides a method for locating underground gas leak sources in coal mines, which specifically includes the following steps:
[0051] (1) Constructing a revised Gaussian plume model
[0052] 1) Multiple gas sensors installed in the monitoring area underground in the coal mine are used to collect the concentration of methane gas.
[0053] 2) Constructing a revised Gaussian plume model
[0054] The monitored area in a coal mine is a confined space. During the diffusion of methane gas, collisions and reflections occur at the sidewalls, roof, and ground. When the methane gas collides with these surfaces, it undergoes specular reflection, with a reflection coefficient of α. This specular reflection exhibits a certain periodicity, which is positively correlated with the distance from the leak source to the boundary of the confined space, where n represents the number of gas collisions.
[0055] The following explanation uses a coal mine roadway as an example of the area to be monitored underground. The diffusion of methane gas in a coal mine roadway is correlated with the roadway height L and the roadway width D.
[0056] Therefore, when the gas spreads in the limited space such as the coal mine tunnel, the Gaussian plume model is revised as follows:
[0057]
[0058] The gas concentration at any point in the coal mine tunnel is:
[0059] C(x,y,z) = C(x,y,z,H,L) + C(x,y,z,H,D) (2)
[0060] Wherein, C(x,y,z,H,L), C(x,y,z,H,D) and C(x,y,z) are the gas concentrations, mg / m 3 ; Q is the gas leakage speed, mg / s; H is the height of the gas leakage source; μ is the wind speed; σ y and σ z are the gas diffusion coefficients in the y-axis direction and z-axis direction respectively; α is the reflection coefficient of the gas when colliding with the side wall, roof and ground of the coal mine tunnel; n is the total collision times of the gas with the side wall, roof and ground of the coal mine tunnel; L is the height of the underground coal mine monitoring area, the height direction is consistent with the z-axis direction; D is the width of the underground coal mine monitoring area, the width direction is consistent with the y-axis direction.
[0061] 3) Particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to solve the model parameters in the revised Gaussian plume model
[0062] For the revised Gaussian plume model obtained above, the model parameters need to be solved, which are specifically introduced as follows.
[0063] Firstly, Pasquill method is used to measure atmospheric stability, and gas diffusion coefficient reference is given through solar radiation, wind speed, weather and cloud cover. According to table 1, solar radiation grade is obtained, according to table 2, atmospheric stability grade is obtained, and according to table 3, gas diffusion coefficients σ y and σ z in y-axis direction and z-axis direction are obtained.
[0064] Table 1 Solar radiation grade
[0065]
[0066] Table 2 Atmospheric stability grade
[0067]
[0068] Table 3 Diffusion coefficient
[0069]
[0070] Secondly, the gas diffusion coefficient σ in the y-axis direction and z-axis direction obtained from Table 3 y and σ z , using the position information of the gas sensor and the gas concentration collected by it, the particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to solve the model parameters in the revised Gaussian plume model: reflection coefficient α, diffusion coefficient σ z , diffusion coefficient σ y . The particle swarm optimization algorithm flow is as Figure 3 .
[0071] Specifically: in the gas leakage search space O, the gas sensors distributed in various places are regarded as particles, each particle represents the concentration value at its location, then:
[0072]
[0073]
[0074] Wherein:
[0075] x id =(x i1 ,x i2 ,···,x iO ),i∈(1,N), the position of the i-th particle (representing the concentration value at a certain position in the coal mine tunnel space);
[0076] V id =(v i1 ,v i2 ,···,v iO ),i∈(1,N), the velocity of the i-th particle (particle movement direction and size, represented as the change of position information that satisfies the fitness function);
[0077] P id,gbest =(p i1 ,p i2 ,···,v iO ),i∈(1,N), the optimal position searched by the i-th particle;
[0078] P d,gbest =(p 1,gbest ,P 2,gbest ,···,P O,gbest ),i∈(1,N), the optimal position searched by the group;
[0079] r1,r2 are random numbers in [0,1], which increase the randomness of the search;
[0080] K, the number of iterations, commonly used value range [50,100], which can avoid too small to effectively converge, and can avoid too large to waste time;
[0081] ω, is an inertial weight, indicating the influence degree of the velocity of the last generation particle on the velocity of the current generation particle, that is, the inertia coefficient between two generations of particles; the greater the value of ω, the stronger the ability to explore new areas and the stronger the global optimization ability, but the weaker the local optimization ability, and vice versa; the global optimization ability is weaker, the local optimization ability is strong, a larger ω is conducive to global search and jumping out of local extreme value, so as not to fall into local optimum; and a smaller ω is conducive to local search, so as to quickly converge to the optimal solution;
[0082] c1, c2 are learning factors; c1 represents the weight of the part of the next action of the particle derived from the experience of itself, which is the acceleration weight of pushing the particle to the individual optimal position; and c2 represents the weight of the part of the next action of the particle derived from the experience of other particles, which is the acceleration weight of pushing the particle to the group optimal position.
[0083] The fitness function is constructed as follows:
[0084]
[0085] Wherein, C i represents the gas concentration detected by the i-th gas sensor, C d represents the gas concentration at the i-th gas sensor calculated by using the revised Gaussian plume model, that is, the value of x id in formula (4), the optimization parameters are the reflection coefficient α, the diffusion coefficient σ x , and the diffusion coefficient σ y , the optimization goal is to minimize the fitness function, and the reflection coefficient α, the diffusion coefficient σ x , and the diffusion coefficient σ y are substituted into the revised Gaussian plume model to obtain the final revised Gaussian plume model of the application, which is used for subsequent gas leakage source positioning.
[0086] (2) Gas concentration monitoring and gas leakage source positioning
[0087] The gas sensor is used to collect the gas concentration, and when the gas concentration exceeds the set threshold value, the collected gas concentration is input into the revised Gaussian plume model obtained by the application to construct the fitness function as follows.
[0088]
[0089] Wherein, C i represents the gas concentration detected by the i-th gas sensor, C dThe formula represents the gas concentration at the i-th gas sensor calculated by the revised Gauss plume model of the application, and the position coordinates of the maximum gas concentration are solved by the particle swarm optimization algorithm. That is, when the fitness function is minimized, the optimal solution obtained is the position coordinates of the gas leakage source.
[0090] Embodiment
[0091] The gas concentration is measured by the gas sensor installed in the coal mine roadway, as shown in Figure 2 Taking a coal mining face with U-shaped ventilation in a certain coal mine as an example, one gas sensor is arranged every 10 m to detect the gas concentration, and a total of 15 sensors are arranged.
[0092] In the initialization, a Gaussian rectangular coordinate system is established with the ground near the roadway wall below the gas sensor C1 as the coordinate (0, 0, 0) point. The x-axis direction is the downwind direction of the roadway, the y-axis direction is the width direction of the roadway, and the z-axis direction is the height direction of the roadway. Taking C1 as an example, the coordinates are (0, 0.3, 3.5) at this time, and the collision times n are taken as an empirical value of 4. The particle dimension to be solved is O=(α, σ x , σ y ), the learning factor c1=1.6, c2=2; in order to make the search space quickly converge, the inertia weight ω adopts an improved linear variation strategy, that is, (N max =200, the maximum number of iterations, N is the current number of iterations, ω max =1.5, ω min =0.7).
[0093] The model parameters are calculated: α=0.87, σ y =0.51x / (1+0.0001x), σ z =0.021x / (1+0.0003x)
[0094] When the gas leakage occurs, the gas sensor is regarded as a particle, a search space is constructed, and the coordinates (x, y, z) of the highest concentration point are solved. The fitness function is constructed as follows:
[0095]
[0096] When the fitness function is minimized, the optimal solution obtained is the leakage point coordinates.
