However, the use of these chemicals and petroleum products also brings potential environmental risks, among which oil leakage incidents are particularly concerned. Oil leakage not only causes serious pollution to land and water sources, but also has long-term effects on the ecosystem and human health. Therefore, developing efficient oil leakage protection technology has become a top priority.

[0003] Currently, although there are some oil leakage response technologies, in special terrain, especially in valley areas, there are a series of challenges.

The microcontroller 4 is also configured with a wireless communication module with remote monitoring function, which can send status and performance data to a remote server for remote monitoring;

[0047] In the design of the barrier device, an oil collection pipe 7 and an oil collection net are provided, which can extract and store the intercepted oil for subsequent further processing or recycling.

[0049] A valley oil diffusion barrier method, the above barrier device is set as three barriers with an interval of 35 meters and 50 meters according to the leakage direction of the oil along the hillside, and independently completes monitoring, blocking and information feedback, the steps are as follows:

[0050] Step 1, obtain the real-time leakage situation of the oil in the valley through each sensor, including pressure, flow and infiltration depth;

[0051] Step 2, analyze the data collected by each sensor, and pre-process the sensor data based on the exponential weighted moving average filtering method; through the filtering algorithm, the sensor data is smoothed, and the new data point is given a greater weight to adapt to changes, so as to eliminate unstable data factors;

[0052] Step 21, the original data of oil density, oil pressure, oil infiltration depth, oil flow rate are taken as input, each parameter includes multiple data points X(i,t); smoothing parameter a is also taken as input, used to control the degree of smoothing; smoothed oil parameter data sequence S(i,t) is taken as output;

[0053] Step 22, initialize smoothing parameter and smoothing value, make the first smoothing value S(i,1) equal to the value of the first data point X(i,1);

[0054] Step 23, calculate EWMA value according to the following formula; repeat the calculation for each sensor data until all time steps are processed;

[0055] S(i,t) = a × X(i,t) + (1-a) × S(i,t-1)

[0056] In the formula: X(i,t) is a data point; a is a smoothing parameter; S(i,t) is a smoothed oil parameter data sequence

[0057] Step 24, the final output is the smoothed oil parameter data sequence, where the value of each time step is an exponentially weighted moving average value.

[0058] Step 3, based on the algorithm of fuzzy logic control, take the parameters collected by the sensor as input variables, define fuzzy sets for each input variable, define membership functions and fuzzy rules for each fuzzy set, use fuzzy rules and fuzzy input data to perform fuzzy reasoning, calculate fuzzy output value, and convert fuzzy output value to specific estimated leakage;

[0059] Step 31, define fuzzy input: oil density p, infiltration depth D, fuzzy output: estimated leakage Q;

[0060] Step 32, map oil density p and infiltration depth D to fuzzy sets (Low, Medium, High) respectively, define fuzzy membership functions and membership degrees;

[0061] Fuzzy set of oil density: Low, Medium, High

[0062] Fuzzy set of oil infiltration depth: Shallow, MediumDepth, Deep

[0063] Step 33, define fuzzy rules in the form of if-then: each rule includes a condition part (if part) and a conclusion part (then part).

[0064] If the oil density is High and the oil penetration depth is Shallow, then the estimated leakage is High.

[0065] If the oil density is Low and the oil penetration depth is Deep, then the estimated leakage is Low;

[0066] Step 34, fuzzy reasoning uses fuzzy rules and fuzzified input data to perform fuzzy reasoning, calculating the fuzzy output value of the estimated leakage;

[0067] It is achieved through fuzzy logic operations, using the min-max method:

[0068] For each fuzzy rule, calculate the minimum value of the rule weight (RW) and the membership of the output part (OM), which is the membership of the fuzzy output value;

[0069] OM = min(RW, OM)

[0070] Step 35, defuzzification, convert the fuzzy output to a specific numerical value to represent the estimated value of the leakage, using the defuzzification method (center of gravity method);

[0071] By calculating the center of gravity position on the fuzzy output membership curve, the specific estimated leakage after defuzzification is obtained;

[0072] Q = ∫(x*F(x))dx / ∫F(x)dx

[0073] In the formula: Q is the output leakage estimate, x is the variable on the fuzzy output membership curve, and F(x) is the fuzzy output membership;

[0074] Step 4, according to the estimated leakage, control the electric motor and telescopic mechanism through the microcontroller to complete the unfolding and folding of the parallel plate, so as to intercept the leaked oil to the greatest extent;

[0075] Step 5, determine the wear and service life of the device based on the recurrent neural network predictive maintenance algorithm;

[0076] Step 51, collect data related to the device, including sensor readings, device operating status, maintenance records, environmental factors, etc. After filtering and converting the data, pre-process the data including cleaning outliers, handling missing data, normalizing or standardizing, etc.

[0077] Divide the data set into training set and test set; usually use time series division to ensure the generalization ability of the model to future data;

[0078] Step 52, select long short-term memory network (LSTM) and gated recurrent unit (GRU) in recurrent neural network (RNN) architecture to capture long-term dependencies in sequence data;

[0079] Step 53, build RNN model, define input layer, hidden layer and output layer of RNN;

[0080] Select mean square error measure model to measure the difference between the output and the true value:

[0081]

[0082] In the formula: y pred,i is the predicted value of the neural network, y ture,i is the true value, and n is the number of samples;

[0083] Select optimizer Adam to update model parameters and minimize loss, and the optimizer updates parameter formula:

[0084]

[0085] In the formula: θ new is the updated parameter, θ old is the old parameter, α is the learning rate, is the gradient of the loss function with respect to the parameter;

[0086] Step 54, model training, input the training set into the RNN model, perform back propagation and weight update to adjust the model parameters, use the validation set to monitor the model performance and avoid overfitting:

[0087] h t = σ(W hh ·h t-1 +W ih ·x t +b h )

[0088] y t = σ(W ho ·h t +b o )

[0089] In the formula: h t is the hidden state of the current time step, x t is the input of the current time step, W hh , W ih , W ho are the weight matrices of the input layer to the hidden layer, the hidden layer to the hidden layer, and the hidden layer to the output layer, respectively, b h , b o are the bias vectors of the hidden layer and the output layer, respectively, and σ is the activation function ReLU;

[0090] Backpropagation (gradient computation):

[0091]

[0092] Step 55, evaluate the performance of the model using the test set and its performance on new data;

[0093] Adjust the hyperparameters such as learning rate, number of hidden layer nodes, etc. according to the performance of the model to improve the robustness of the model. The trained and improved RNN model is updated to the actual device by month to carry out the predictive maintenance of the leakage amount. The RNN model is configured to be integrated with the remote monitoring system to realize real-time feedback and adjustment to ensure the matching degree of the model and the actual operation environment.
