Description

[0002] Due to the limited technical means during construction, great dependence on manual work and other problems, the underground cable may be laid imprecisely, and there may be multiple safety hazards. Meanwhile, due to natural disasters, long service life or inadequate maintenance, the underground cable may be corroded or broken, which is prone to cause electric leakage accidents. Electric leakage of underground cable is a frequent problem in power operation, which may cause power loss, power outage, even casualties and other consequences. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the electric leakage detection method for underground cable.

[0003] Traditional electric leakage detection of underground cable mainly adopts the method of power outage and excavation, which needs to consume a large amount of manpower and material resources, and has a serious impact on residents' life and industrial production, and the detection efficiency is low, which cannot adapt to the fast pace of today's urban development. When electric leakage occurs in underground cable, current flows through underground medium, which will cause the dielectric constant of the medium to change. Ground penetrating radar, as a non-destructive detection means, can detect the dielectric constant of underground medium through the emission and reception of electromagnetic wave signals without power outage and excavation. Therefore, an electric leakage detection method for underground cable based on ground penetrating radar can be used, which improves the detection efficiency while being non-destructive.

[0004] Ground penetrating radar can obtain the dielectric constant model of underground medium through inversion of the received echo signal, so as to determine whether electric leakage occurs at the detection point based on the change of the dielectric constant.

[0051] As introduced in the background, ground penetrating radar can obtain the dielectric constant model of the underground medium through inversion of the received echo signal, so as to judge whether the detection point has electric leakage based on the change of the dielectric constant.

In order to solve the problems of low precision, low efficiency and poor stability of the existing scheme in detecting the electric leakage of the cable by using the inversion method, the embodiments of the present application provide a method, device, medium and system for detecting electric leakage of underground cable.

[0052] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0053] In the present embodiment, a method for detecting electric leakage of underground cable is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that here.

[0054] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a method for detecting electric leakage of underground cable according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0055] As shown in Figure 1 , the method comprises the following steps:

[0056] In step S101, the thickness and dielectric constant of all A-Scan of each medium layer of the underground cable are obtained, and the reflection position of each medium layer is determined according to the thickness and dielectric constant, and the reflection transmission time of electromagnetic wave of each medium layer is determined according to the reflection position, thickness and dielectric constant.

[0057] Specifically, a CMP medium model is constructed, and in the CMP medium model, the antenna to ground surface distance is set as air thickness, the transmitting antenna and receiving antenna distance is L, and the bottom is connected with the absorbing boundary to absorb clutter.

[0058] In an embodiment of the present application, the reflection position of each medium layer is determined according to the reflection position, the thickness and the dielectric constant, comprising:

[0059] According to determining the reflection position of each medium layer,

[0060] wherein t n,m is the reflection propagation time of the electromagnetic wave of the mth A-Scan of the nth medium layer, x i,m is the reflection position of the mth A-Scan of the ith medium layer, d i is the thickness of the ith medium layer, ε i is the dielectric constant of the ith medium layer, and c is the propagation speed of the electromagnetic wave in air.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, the reflection position of each medium layer is determined according to the thickness and the dielectric constant, comprising:

[0062] According to determining the reflection position of each medium layer,

[0063] wherein ε1 is the dielectric constant of the first medium layer, ε2 is the dielectric constant of the second medium layer, d1 is the thickness of the first medium layer, d2 is the thickness of the second medium layer, x1 is the reflection position of the first medium layer, and x2 is the reflection position of the second medium layer.

[0064] Specifically, according to Snell's law, taking medium layer 1 and medium layer 2 as an example, x is the projection distance of the electromagnetic wave emission or receiving point to the plane (i.e. the reflection position), and the theoretical relationship between the dielectric constants of the two medium layers is:

[0065]

[0066] Considering that when the underground medium environment is complex and the number of medium layers is large, the electromagnetic wave refraction is complex, the distance between the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna in the ground penetrating radar is reduced, and the above relationship is simplified to the first formula:

[0067]

[0068] In this model, the electromagnetic wave reflection propagation time of the mth A-Scan is the second formula:

[0069]

[0070] Step S102, based on the above reflection position, the above thickness, the above dielectric constant and the above reflection propagation time, a cost function is constructed, and the above thickness and the above dielectric constant are optimized based on the above cost function to obtain an optimal thickness and an optimal dielectric constant;

[0071] In an embodiment of the present application, based on the above reflection position, the above thickness, the above dielectric constant and the above reflection propagation time, a cost function is constructed, including:

[0072] The cost function is constructed as:

[0073]

[0074] Wherein, δ(ε n ,d n ,x n,m ) is the cost of the above cost function, ε n is the above dielectric constant of the nth layer of the above medium layer, d n is the above thickness of the nth layer of the above medium layer, x n,m is the above reflection position of the nth layer of the above medium layer, ε i,h is the above dielectric constant of the ith layer of the above medium layer, x i,h is the above reflection position of the ith layer of the above medium layer, d i,h is the above thickness of the ith layer of the above medium layer, c is the propagation speed of electromagnetic wave in air, t i,h is the above reflection propagation time of the electromagnetic wave of the ith layer of the above medium layer.

[0075] According to the above sparse CMP underground medium parameter model, the simulation signal echo is obtained by the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method, and the sum of squares of the difference between the simulation signal echo and the actual echo signal is taken as the objective function. When the objective function is optimized to the minimum value, it is indicated that the simulation and actual fitting effect is good, that is, the underground dielectric constant change is obtained.

[0076] Wherein, the relationship between the dielectric constant and the refractive point position (i.e. the reflection position) can be obtained from the established CMP model, therefore, the optimization of the cost function by three parameters becomes the optimization of the dielectric constant and the thickness by two parameters.

[0077] Based on the objective function, a pattern search algorithm is added to search for results with large step size and few optimization variables. During the pattern search process, the first layer parameters are estimated using the sparse CMP model, and then a series of consecutive points are searched based on the alternation between exploratory moves and pattern moves, so that the objective function continuously approaches the minimum value. Since the two-parameter optimization is seriously affected by the initial value, the traditional enumeration method is used to obtain the approximate initial value, and then the approximate value is refined based on the PS algorithm to realize inversion and obtain the change of the dielectric constant of the underground medium.

[0078] In step S103, based on the optimal thickness, the optimal dielectric constant, and the reflection wave amplitude vector, a received signal vector matrix of the final dilution CMP model is constructed.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present application, based on the optimal thickness, the optimal dielectric constant, and the reflection wave amplitude vector, the received signal vector matrix of the final dilution CMP model is constructed, including:

[0080] According to The propagation time is determined to construct a mode vector.

[0081] The optimal thickness and the optimal dielectric constant are substituted into the propagation time to form a mode vector.

[0082] Based on the mode vector and the reflection wave amplitude vector, the received signal vector matrix of the final dilution CMP model is constructed.

[0083] Where a(t) is the propagation time to construct a mode vector, f M is the frequency of the electromagnetic wave of the Mth medium layer, t includes the optimal thickness and the optimal dielectric constant.

[0084] Specifically, when detecting underground leakage, it is necessary to detect the change of the underground dielectric constant and the position of the leakage point. Therefore, d n,m and ε n,m are a series of A-Scan thickness and dielectric constant of the nth medium layer. The reflection position is calculated according to the first formula to obtain the approximate position, and the propagation time matrix T n,m is calculated according to the second formula. Then, the mode vector is constructed according to the propagation time, where t is the value in the matrix T, and the mode vector constitutes the matrix A n,m ;

[0085] In an embodiment of the present application, based on the mode vector and the reflection wave amplitude vector, the received signal vector matrix of the final dilution CMP model is constructed, including:

[0086] The received signal vector matrix of the final dilution CMP model is constructed as follows:

[0087] r n,m =A n,m s n ;

[0088] wherein, r n,m is the received signal vector matrix of the final sparse CMP model of the mth A-Scan of the nth layer of the medium layer, A n,m is the modal vector of the mth A-Scan of the nth layer of the medium layer, s n is the reflected wave amplitude vector of the nth layer of the medium layer.

[0089] Combined with the reflected wave amplitude vector s, the final received signal vector matrix of the sparse CMP model is obtained as follows:

[0090] r n,m =A n,m s n ;

[0091] According to the received signal vector matrix of the final sparse CMP model of the mth A-Scan of the nth layer of the medium layer, it is determined whether the underground cable has a leakage fault.

[0092] In step S104, if at least one parameter in the received signal vector matrix is greater than the corresponding reference value, it is determined that the underground cable has a leakage fault.

[0093] By comparing each parameter in the received signal vector matrix with the corresponding reference value, it is determined whether the underground cable has a leakage fault.

[0094] In the above steps, based on the reflection position, the thickness, the dielectric constant and the reflection propagation time, a cost function is constructed, and the thickness and the dielectric constant are optimized based on the cost function, to obtain an optimal thickness and an optimal dielectric constant. Based on the optimal thickness, the optimal dielectric constant and the reflected wave amplitude vector, a received signal vector matrix of the final sparse CMP model is constructed. If at least one parameter in the received signal vector matrix is greater than the corresponding reference value, it is determined that the underground cable has a leakage fault. Thus, when the underground cable has a leakage, the current flowing through the area will be scattered and absorbed, causing the dielectric constant of the underground medium to change. By using the ground penetrating radar underground medium model inversion method, the dielectric constant of the underground medium is monitored, so that the underground cable leakage detection is realized under the conditions of non-destructive and high efficiency. Thus, the problems of low precision, low efficiency and poor stability in the existing scheme using inversion method to detect the leakage of the cable are solved.

[0095] Judgment of underground cable leakage:

[0096] Based on the obtained underground dielectric constant in the above steps, it is judged whether the dielectric constant of a region is suddenly changed, and whether the leakage occurs is judged in combination with the original paper of laying the underground cable, so that the leakage detection of the underground cable is realized.

[0097] The present application proposes a leakage detection method of underground cable by using ground penetrating radar, which judges whether the leakage accident occurs based on the change of the dielectric constant of underground medium. Meanwhile, considering that the existing inversion method of underground medium parameter model still has problems of low precision, large memory occupation and low efficiency, the traditional CMP model is improved, and the sparsity and the correspondence of medium characteristics are considered to form a sparse common midpoint CMP model. Based on the model, the simulated echo signal can be forwardly obtained and the objective function can be established. In order to improve the optimization efficiency, the pattern search algorithm is introduced, and at the same time, the initial value is preliminarily approximated by using the enumeration method, and finally the underground medium parameter model is obtained, so that the leakage detection of underground cable is realized. The problem that the traditional leakage detection method needs to be powered off and excavated, which seriously affects the normal life of users, is solved.

[0098] Firstly, the common midpoint CMP underground medium model is established, and the sparse CMP model is formed based on the improvement of the refraction approximation method. The forward simulation of the established model can obtain the simulated echo signal. Then, the objective function is established by using the simulated echo signal and the actual echo signal, which is used to evaluate the fitting effect of the sparse CMP model. In order to improve the accuracy of the underground medium model, the objective function optimization method based on PS algorithm is adopted to optimize the objective function, so that the difference between the simulated echo signal and the actual echo signal is minimized, and the underground medium model at this time is the optimal medium model. Based on the final underground medium model, the change of the dielectric constant of underground medium can be obtained, so as to judge whether the leakage occurs at the detection point.

[0099] In an embodiment of the present application, the above method further comprises:

[0100] In the case that all the parameters in the received signal vector matrix are less than or equal to the corresponding reference value, it is determined that the underground cable is normal.

[0101] Specifically, in the case that all the parameters in the received signal vector matrix are less than or equal to the corresponding reference value, it is considered that there is no abnormality, and it is determined that the underground cable is normal.

[0102] The problems of needing to stop power supply and dig in the traditional leakage detection method are solved: in the traditional leakage detection, the area needs to be powered off and the ground needs to be dug to judge whether leakage occurs by measuring the voltage of two points. This method needs to consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and there are inevitable safety hazards in the steps of power-off and digging. Therefore, when the underground cable leaks, the current flows through the area and causes scattering and absorption, so that the dielectric constant of the underground medium changes. The underground medium model inversion of the ground penetrating radar is adopted to realize the monitoring of the dielectric constant of the underground medium, so that the leakage detection of the underground cable is realized under the conditions of non-damage and high efficiency.

[0103] Improvement of the common midpoint CMP model: in the step of establishing the underground medium parameter model, the CPML condition is set as the absorption boundary condition, so that the calculation efficiency is improved without splitting the time step in the calculation process. Meanwhile, in order to improve the traditional CMP model, the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna are set to be close to each other, so that the Snell relation is converted from a nonlinear relation to a linear relation, and the sparsity and the correspondence of the underground medium parameter characteristics are combined to form a sparse CMP underground medium model.

[0104] Objective function optimization combining the enumeration method and the pattern search algorithm: in order to improve the model establishment accuracy and the calculation efficiency, in the objective function optimization process, the multi-parameter optimization problem is converted into a double-parameter optimization problem based on the Snell relation. Meanwhile, the pattern search algorithm is introduced to search the model with large step length and few optimization variables. In order to solve the problem that the initial value is strongly dependent in the multi-variable optimization problem, the first layer parameter is calculated by using the sparse CMP underground medium model before the pattern search algorithm is used, the approximate initial value is obtained by using the enumeration method, and the objective function is further optimized based on the pattern search algorithm.

Therefore, when the underground cable has a leakage, the current flows through the area and causes scattering and absorption, resulting in a change in the dielectric constant of the underground medium. The ground penetrating radar underground medium model inversion method is used to monitor the dielectric constant of the underground medium, thereby realizing the leakage detection of the underground cable under the conditions of non-destructive and high efficiency. Furthermore, the problems of low precision, low efficiency and poor stability in the existing scheme using the inversion method to detect the leakage of the cable are solved.
