AI Technical Summary
Existing flow balance-based leak detection technologies have a high false alarm rate in pipeline leak detection and cannot accurately locate the leak point.
By calculating the average flow rate and the difference in flow rate between the upstream and downstream of the pipeline, trend extraction and curve fitting elimination are performed. Combined with bipolarization processing of the flow signal, abnormal flow sub-signals are detected, and a support vector data description model is used for leak diagnosis and location.
It enables real-time detection of both slowly changing micro-leaks and sudden leaks, reducing the false alarm rate and accurately locating the leak point.
