Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of municipal engineering and urban water supply network detection technology, specifically relating to a probabilistic model construction and leakage detection and location method, system and device for water supply pipes. Background Technology

[0002] Urban water supply networks are a crucial component of urban water supply systems and a core element of urban public utilities. With my country's urbanization, significant progress has been made in the construction of urban water supply networks, and the coverage rate of public water supply has continuously increased. However, because the early layout of water supply networks relied heavily on expert experience and lacked rigorous scientific basis, subsequent expansions and renovations easily lead to uneven water supply loads, resulting in leaks and even pipe bursts, causing serious economic losses and resource waste. Therefore, how to promptly detect and locate leaks, deploy manpower for maintenance and repair, minimize property and resource losses, and avoid safety hazards has become a critical issue.

[0003] With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, a series of leakage identification and location methods based on mathematical models and water supply pipe monitoring data have emerged. These methods have a wide detection range, are not easily affected by external factors, and can be used to assist traditional hardware-based methods. However, existing methods are usually based on deterministic hydraulic models, which may overestimate the possible location of pipeline leaks. Especially when there are non-horizontal pipes or multiple leaks in the pipeline network, the pipeline system will generate very noisy pressure signals over a large area. Existing models are difficult to process such signals, often resulting in false alarms or giving a large investigation range, which consumes a lot of manpower and resources. Summary of the Invention

It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Furthermore, for ease of description, only the parts related to the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, not all of the structures.

[0059] Example 1

[0060] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment is applicable to the automatic processing of monitoring data from horizontal pipelines in urban residential areas, analyzing the monitoring data, and performing leak alarms and location. This method can be executed by a pipeline leak detection and location device, which can be implemented in software and hardware and is generally integrated into a data processing and analysis module or interrupt. See the attached diagram for a schematic of horizontal pipelines in urban residential areas. Figure 2 As shown.

[0061] A method for detecting and locating water supply pipe leaks based on probabilistic models and nonlinear filtering includes the following steps:

[0062] S110. Obtain water supply network information and establish a hydraulic mathematical model;

[0063] S111. In this embodiment, information such as pipe length, pipe diameter, pipe friction, and fluid elastic modulus of the pipeline network is first obtained. Then, the continuity equation and instantaneous variable equation of the water supply network are established based on the pipeline network information, as shown in the following formula (10):

[0064]

[0065] Where Q and H are the flow rate and head at a certain point in the pipeline, respectively, as dependent variables; t and x are time and spatial location, respectively, as independent variables. The purpose of solving the above system of equations is to determine the flow rate and head in the pipeline with respect to time and spatial location. Secondly, A is the cross-sectional area of ​​the pipeline, g is the acceleration due to gravity, f is the coefficient of friction of the pipeline, and a is the wave velocity in the fluid medium inside the pipeline, given by the following equation (11):

[0066]

[0068] S112. Solve the two hyperbolic governing equations for transient fluid flow and obtain accurate results using the method of characteristics. Based on the method of characteristics, the partial differential equations can be transformed into two ordinary differential equations:

[0069]

[0070]

[0074] in, Q A and H A Let be the known flow rate and pressure head at node A, and Δt be the integration time. Similarly, integrating equation (13) along the negative characteristic line and solving for the flow at point P yields:

[0075] Q P =C e +C a H(15)

[0076] in, Q B and H B The known flow rate and pressure head at node B are given, and the two unknowns are Q. P The values ​​of H can be determined by combining equations (14) and (15), that is,

[0077]

[0080] S121. Construct the boundary conditions for the internal points of pipeline leakage;

[0081] When a leak exists in a water supply pipeline, the transient fluid flow throughout the pipeline will be completely altered compared to a leak-free scenario. This example utilizes the orifice equation to simulate a leak at any internal location (node), where the continuity equation is implemented at the leak node. Figure 2 For example, for node 3, the pipeline model can be found here. Figure 6Assuming a leak is detected at node 3, the continuity equation and characteristic wave equation using the method of characteristics become:

[0088] in, λ3 = 0.001.

[0089] The characteristic coefficients along the positive and negative characteristic lines are as follows:

[0090]

[0091]

[0092] in, Δt is the time step. Therefore, the total energy head at node 3 can be obtained as follows:

[0093]

[0094] in,

[0095] S123, Probabilistic Modeling of Pipeline Leakage;

[0096] Considering the water pressure changes caused by upstream and downstream pipeline scheduling, a probabilistic model is established as follows:

[0097]

[0098] Among them, P leak H represents the probability of a leak occurring at this node. YS This refers to the yield stress coefficient of the pipeline. When the unsteady rise in water pressure caused by the scheduling results in circumferential or axial stress in the pipeline that exceeds 80% of the material's yield stress, the pipeline may experience leakage and rupture.

[0099] S130, Real-time prediction of water supply network leakage;

[0100] S131, State-space representation of the system;

[0101] by Figure 2 Taking a horizontal water supply network as an example, the state space description of the nonlinear Kalman filter method is as follows:

[0102]

[0103] The model inputs are upstream and downstream water head and valve coefficients:

[0104] u k =[H i H o C v ] T

[0105] The state-space form of the nonlinear stochastic difference equation describing the pipeline conditions is as follows:

[0106] x k =f(x) k-1 ,u k-1 )+w k-1 (8)

[0107] Among them, w k-1 The noise is Gaussian white noise. After first-order linearization, the required Jacobian matrix is:

[0108]

[0109] Secondly, the observation equation is expressed as

[0110]

[0111] Among them, v k It is Gaussian white noise.

[0112] S132, Initial covariance settings;

[0113] Before starting the estimation, the process error covariance Q needs to be set. k Measurement covariance R k The initial state x0 and the initial estimation error covariance P0 are also considered. The initial state estimate is determined through steady-state analysis, assuming zero leakage in the initial state of the water supply pipeline. The initial error covariance P0 is set to I. 24 C, where I 24 It is a 24×24 identity matrix, and C = 0.1 is a constant set based on the water supply network information. Secondly, the process error covariance Q... k for:
