Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of new energy technology, and in particular to a method and system for visualizing the safety boundary of hydrogen leakage. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrogen is a clean, efficient, and renewable energy source with advantages such as zero pollutant emissions and high specific heat capacity. This gives hydrogen fuel cell vehicles a significant advantage in reducing carbon emissions compared to traditional gasoline vehicles. However, the flammable and explosive nature of hydrogen poses safety hazards in its storage and transportation. A mixture of gases within the hydrogen combustion concentration range can ignite upon contact with an open flame, causing very serious consequences. Therefore, in the event of a hydrogen leak, it is crucial to move away from areas of high hydrogen combustion concentration to avoid accidents. However, due to the colorless and odorless nature of hydrogen, leaks are difficult to observe directly, and it is impossible to obtain the profile of the hydrogen combustion limit concentration. Therefore, a method is needed to visualize the hydrogen combustion boundary profile in the event of a leak, indicating the danger zone to ensure the safe use of hydrogen energy and reduce the likelihood of accidents.

[0003] In their paper (High-Pressure Underexpansion Hydrogen Leakage and Diffusion Model and Experimental Study), Xiang Yuxia et al. used numerical simulation and gas infrared thermal imaging visualization techniques to study the leakage and diffusion patterns of hydrogen. They determined the boundary profile of the hydrogen jet by comparing the initial and ejected states of the water vapor cloud through the impact of a hydrogen jet stream on a high-temperature water vapor cloud. However, this visualization method does not consider the influence of the mutual perturbation between the water vapor cloud and the hydrogen jet on the hydrogen jet profile, resulting in only a relatively coarse profile and failing to obtain an accurate and visually clear safety boundary profile.

[0004] Current hydrogen leak detection methods rely solely on sensor measurements. However, these methods are limited by the inherent time delay of the sensors, making it impossible to obtain hydrogen concentration in real time. They also fail to account for measurement errors and do not utilize other effective means to correct the results. Furthermore, the concentration values ​​obtained are calibrated only for a single location, failing to provide a comprehensive description of the hydrogen leak safety boundary. In contrast, simple numerical simulation methods can only simulate hydrogen leaks under ideal conditions, making it difficult to fully simulate the hydrogen leak concentration distribution under real-world disturbances.

[0049] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method and system for visualizing the safety boundary of hydrogen leakage, which uses a data fusion strategy to improve the accuracy of calibrating the safety boundary profile of hydrogen leakage.

[0051] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0052] For hydrogen leakage scenarios, the purpose of this invention is to comprehensively utilize numerical simulation information, sensor information, and grayscale information, and based on a data fusion strategy, obtain the image grayscale value corresponding to a 4% hydrogen concentration, and then perform time-averaged processing on the grayscale value to calibrate the overall hydrogen flammable boundary contour, finally obtaining a real-time hydrogen leakage grayscale image with flammable boundary annotations.

[0053] This invention provides a method for visualizing the safety boundary of a hydrogen leak, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0054] Step S1: Construct a hydrogen leakage experimental device.

[0055] A hydrogen leakage experimental device was built using the schlieren method. The experiment will simulate hydrogen leakage by spraying a high-pressure hydrogen cylinder into the air at a fixed mass flow rate, while a high-speed camera will be used to film the leakage process.

[0056] Step S2: Abstract model the hydrogen leakage experimental device and simulate the hydrogen leakage process to obtain the simulated concentration field when the hydrogen leakage diffusion reaches a steady state, and determine the profile curve of hydrogen concentration equal to 4% in the simulated concentration field.

[0057] In the finite element software, the experimental setup in the first step is abstractly modeled. The same temperature and pressure conditions as in the experimental setup are set. After setting the mass flow rate of hydrogen outflow, the calculation is performed to obtain the concentration field distribution when hydrogen diffusion reaches steady state. The profile curve of hydrogen concentration equal to 4% in the concentration field is defined as f(x).

[0058] The confidence weight of the numerical simulation can also be calculated based on the variance of the numerical simulation results. .

[0059] For example, the specific process of step S2 is as follows:

[0060] During modeling, the left boundary was defined as the incident boundary, divided into upper and lower sections, which were set as the air inlet and hydrogen inlet respectively. The remaining boundaries were set as pressure outlets to simulate the process of hydrogen leakage into the air. Numerical simulation calculations were performed on the model to obtain the concentration field distribution under steady-state diffusion. The calculation was repeated after refining the mesh until the number of meshes no longer had a significant impact on the calculation results. The mesh independence was verified, and the concentration field when hydrogen leakage reached steady state was obtained.

[0061] Establish a plane rectangular coordinate system with the center of the nozzle as the origin, the axial direction of the nozzle as the positive x-axis, and the radial upward direction of the nozzle as the positive y-axis;

[0062] By setting the minimum concentration display threshold to 4%, the hydrogen combustion limit boundary profile with a lower limit of 4% is obtained. The boundary profile function y=f(x) can be obtained from the profile curve, where x is the abscissa of each point on the profile in a Cartesian coordinate system, y is the ordinate of each point on the profile in a Cartesian coordinate system, and f is the mapping relationship between the abscissa and ordinate of each point on the profile. Assuming that the numerical simulation results follow a normal distribution, the confidence weight of the numerical simulation results can be calculated based on the variance of the numerical simulation results. .

[0063] Step S3: Conduct a hydrogen leakage experiment using a hydrogen leakage experimental apparatus. After the hydrogen leakage diffusion reaches a steady state, acquire a grayscale image of the hydrogen leakage. At the same time, randomly select points on the boundary of the contour curve and measure the hydrogen concentration at the selected points.

[0064] A hydrogen leakage experiment was conducted. A grayscale image of the hydrogen leakage was obtained using the schlieren method. Random sampling points were taken on the leakage curve from the f(x) curve obtained in step S2 using a hydrogen sensor. Simulated concentrations were obtained from the simulated concentration field in step S2. The measured concentration is obtained based on the sensor readings. .

[0065] Step S4: The hydrogen concentration measured at the sampling point and the hydrogen concentration at the sampling point in the simulated concentration field are fused to obtain the fused concentration at the sampling point.

[0066] Define fusion concentration The meaning of fusion concentration is that it is a result that is closer to the actual concentration value by combining the numerical simulation results and the sensor measurement results according to their confidence weights. It can be considered that the fusion concentration is closer to the real concentration value than the simulated concentration and the measured concentration.

[0067] Step S4 specifically includes the following processes:

[0068] Images of hydrogen leaks were captured using schlieren imaging, and the fusion concentration at randomly selected points was defined. ,in This is the calculated fusion concentration value for this point. For simulated concentration Credibility weights, To measure concentration Credibility weights, and Should meet: .

[0069] The specific method for determining the confidence weights is as follows: It is assumed that both the numerical simulation results and the sensor measurement results follow a normal distribution, i.e.:

[0070]

[0071] in Indicates a normal distribution. , The simulated concentrations are respectively The mean and variance, , The concentrations were measured respectively. The mean and variance of , then The variance can be expressed as:

[0072]

[0073] Applying both sides of the equation Differentiation shows that when:

[0074] The variance has a minimum value, which can be considered as the minimum uncertainty of the fusion concentration. At this point:

[0075] Step S5: If the fusion concentration at the sampling point is not equal to 4%, adjust the sampling point until the fusion concentration at the sampling point is equal to 4%, and record the sampling point at this time as the calibration point.

[0076] Adjust the sampling point until the fusion concentration is achieved. It equals 4%, and the position at this time is recorded as the calibration position P(x,y).

[0077] Step S6: Find the gray value corresponding to the calibration position in the hydrogen leakage grayscale image and perform time-average processing to obtain the average grayscale value.

[0078] By analyzing the grayscale image of the hydrogen leak, the grayscale value corresponding to point P(x,y) in the grayscale image is found, and the average grayscale value is obtained by performing time-average processing on this grayscale value. Establish the average gray value The calibration relationship with a 4% hydrogen concentration.

[0079] Step S7: Mark and connect all pixels in the hydrogen leakage grayscale image whose grayscale value is equal to the average grayscale value to obtain a visible lower boundary contour curve of the hydrogen combustion limit.

[0080] In a grayscale image, all grayscale values ​​are... There is a one-to-one correspondence between the pixels and the hydrogen concentration of 4%. All grayscale values... The pixels are labeled to obtain a visible contour curve, which can be used for safety warnings.

[0081] This invention provides a method for visualizing the safety boundary of hydrogen leakage. It utilizes the schlieren method to construct a hydrogen leakage experimental device. The experimental device is then modeled and calculated in finite element software to obtain the hydrogen concentration field distribution when the hydrogen leakage diffusion reaches a steady state. The profile curve representing a 4% hydrogen concentration in this field is defined as f(x). The reliability weight of the numerical simulation is calculated based on the variance of the numerical simulation results. This is used to characterize the reliability of the numerical simulation results; a hydrogen leakage experiment is conducted, and a grayscale image of the hydrogen leakage is obtained using the schlieren method. A hydrogen sensor is used to randomly select points on the obtained f(x) curve for measurement, and the concentration value corresponding to that point in the simulated concentration field obtained from the numerical simulation is defined as the simulated concentration. The concentration obtained from the actual sampling point measurement is recorded as the measured concentration. The confidence weight of the sensor measurement is obtained by calculating the variance of the sensor measurement. This is used to characterize the reliability of sensor measurement results, through the formula... Calculate the fusion concentration at the actual measurement sampling location. The value can be considered as the true concentration value at the sampling point being closer to the concentration obtained from the numerical simulation and the concentration measured by the sensor, each multiplied by its respective confidence weight and then added together, i.e., the fused concentration. Fine-tune the sensor sampling position until it reaches this position. The value is equal to 4%, and the location of the sampling point at this time is denoted as the calibration position P(x, y); the gray value at position P(x, y) is then subjected to time-averaged processing to obtain the gray value. All grayscale values ​​in the grayscale image The points were marked to obtain the visible boundary of the 4% hydrogen concentration.

[0082] In an environment with a temperature of 293 K and a pressure of 1 atmosphere, the mass flow rate of air is set to 0.006 kg / s, and the mass flow rate of hydrogen at the inlet is... Using kg / s as a specific condition, we will illustrate the method for visualizing the safety boundary of hydrogen leakage.

[0083] The solution was obtained using Fluent software. A second-order upwind difference scheme was used for the convection terms in the momentum and energy equations. The hydrogen concentration field at steady state was obtained, with a minimum display threshold of 4% for hydrogen concentration. The resulting concentration field distribution is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, a Cartesian coordinate system is established with the center point of the outlet as the origin. The curve profile with the outermost hydrogen concentration of 4% is denoted as f(x). The variance of the numerical simulation results is calculated, and the confidence weight of the simulation results is calculated based on the variance.

[0084] After obtaining the simulated concentration field, a hydrogen leakage experiment was conducted under the same operating conditions, controlling the same hydrogen mass flow rate. Once the hydrogen leakage reached a steady state, a high-speed camera was used to film the hydrogen leakage process. A hydrogen concentration sensor was used to randomly select points on f(x) for measurement, and the concentration value at the corresponding location in the simulated concentration field was recorded as the simulated concentration. The concentration value actually measured by the sensor is the measured concentration. Based on the variance of the hydrogen concentration sensor, the reliability weight of the measured value is calculated. Then, the fusion concentration at that point is... That is, the simulated concentration at that point. and concentration measurement The concentration value is obtained by multiplying each sample by its respective confidence weight and then summing the results. If this concentration value is not equal to 4%, then fine-tuning is performed at the original sampling location until the desired concentration is achieved. Equal to 4%, the sampling position at this point is defined as the calibration position, and the horizontal and vertical coordinates of this point in the established coordinate system are recorded. Based on these coordinates, the corresponding pixel in the grayscale image is found, and the grayscale value at that pixel is obtained by time-averaging. This establishes the grayscale value. The correspondence between this and the minimum combustion concentration of hydrogen (4%) is as follows: Figure 4 As shown.

[0085] Establish grayscale values After establishing the correspondence between 4% and 4%, all grayscale values ​​in the grayscale image are... The pixels are labeled to obtain the visible lower boundary contour curve of the flammability limit, such as... Figure 5 As shown, it can be used for security early warning.

This improves the accuracy of calibrating the safety boundary profile of hydrogen leakage and the results are reliable.

[0088] 2. This invention is the first to link concentration values ​​with grayscale values ​​in schlieren, which theoretically allows for the reconstruction of contours for any concentration value. Applied to the field of hydrogen safety early warning, it can visualize safety boundaries when a hydrogen leak occurs, providing a direct reference for preventing danger.
