AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing flow balance-based leak detection technologies have a high false alarm rate in pipeline leak detection and cannot accurately locate the leak point.

Method used

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.

Benefits of technology

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.

Abstract

The application discloses a kind of leakage monitoring and positioning method based on flow signal, specifically relates to pipeline leakage monitoring technical field, and the application is obtained by spline interpolation to the difference of delivery to upper and lower envelope line, and then the mean value of delivery difference fitting curve is obtained;According to the average of non-exceptional signal part calculated by alarm time selection, the leakage amount and leakage rate are calculated when the signal is abnormal, and the average is calculated again after confirming the end of abnormal signal;Then the leakage diagnosis model is established by support vector data description, the model is a hypersphere, after the flow signal is de-meaned, the leakage signal is enhanced using digital high-pass filter, the characteristic value is extracted from the enhanced signal using interval sub-signal amplitude multi-scale representation method, and the characteristic value obtained is calculated, and if the hypersphere radius is greater than the hypersphere radius of diagnostic model, it is an abnormal signal.
