[0002] As an important infrastructure for energy transportation, oil pipelines play a core role in the energy and chemical industry. With the development of long-distance oil pipeline technology, the demand for their deployment in complex geographical environments is increasing, including special environments such as crossing mountains, deserts, oceans, and areas with high lightning incidence. Among them, lightning strikes or electromagnetic interference pose a significant threat to the safety of oil pipelines. Especially in areas with frequent lightning, electrostatic accumulation, partial discharge, and corrosion may occur on the surface of oil pipelines, seriously affecting the long-term stable operation of oil pipelines. Therefore, researching a risk monitoring method for an oil pipeline area based on real-time data monitoring, with a focus on corrosion problems caused by lightning strikes and electromagnetic interference, has important engineering and economic significance.
[0003] At present, oil pipelines usually rely on periodic manual inspections or single monitoring means such as corrosion current probes to evaluate the safety status. However, these methods have obvious deficiencies: First, the manual inspection cycle is long and lagging, making it difficult to detect sudden risks caused by lightning strikes or electromagnetic interference in a timely manner; Second, the coverage of single-sensor monitoring is limited, and it is impossible to capture the dynamic changes of electrostatic accumulation, lightning current, and corrosion rate across the entire pipeline; Third, traditional risk assessments are mostly based on static parameters, lacking multi-parameter dynamic coupling analysis, resulting in low prediction accuracy for the cumulative effect of lightning strikes and their corrosion risks. These deficiencies may lead to missed detections or misjudgments, increasing the safety hazards of oil pipelines in areas with high lightning incidence. Summary of the Invention

Through the preliminary comparison and evaluation of Qst(t) and Qth, it is judged whether there is an electrostatic discharge risk in the pipeline. When the electrostatic accumulation exceeds the safe range, the lightning strike analysis mechanism is triggered, and the transient corrosion current density Icorr(t) is further calculated through the transient current corrosion algorithm. At the same time, combining the static charge accumulation risk value Qst(t) and external environmental disturbance parameters such as the sine periodic term, the metal corrosion rate CR on the pipeline surface is calculated. In addition, for the high-lightning area, this method calculates the cumulative effect index Lacc through the lightning strike cumulative effect algorithm to comprehensively evaluate the long-term corrosion effect of lightning strikes on the pipeline. This multi-parameter and multi-level risk modeling method dynamically couples the electrostatic effect, lightning strike transient effect, and cumulative effect, significantly improving the scientificity and comprehensiveness of the pipeline corrosion risk assessment.
[0055] (3) This method takes the corrosion risk index CRR as the core, and comprehensively calculates and analyzes the static charge accumulation risk value Qst(t), transient corrosion current density Icorr(t), corrosion rate CR, and lightning strike cumulative effect index Lacc. After the secondary comparison and evaluation of CRR with the preset corrosion risk threshold Cth, if it is found that the corrosion risk index CRR≥Cth, the system immediately generates a risk warning and automatically activates the grounding device to eliminate static charge accumulation, and at the same time displays relevant information in the visualization interface of the central monitoring system, including the regional lightning strike risk status, static charge accumulation situation, and comprehensive corrosion risk index. This visual intelligent management method not only improves the real-time and intuitive nature of pipeline risk monitoring, but also effectively reduces the risks of static discharge and pipeline corrosion caused by lightning strikes, avoids the occurrence of energy transmission interruption and environmental pollution accidents, and greatly improves the safety and reliability of pipeline operation.

At the same time, integrate the static charge accumulation risk value Qst(t), transient corrosion current density Icorr(t), metal corrosion rate CR, and lightning strike cumulative effect index Lacc, and calculate the corrosion risk index CRR through a comprehensive algorithm. This index quantifies the overall corrosion risk of the pipeline in a high lightning strike environment, providing a reliable basis for subsequent protection decisions. The core purpose of this method is to comprehensively reveal the lightning strike cumulative effect and its long-term threat to pipeline corrosion through dynamic modeling and multi-parameter fusion analysis, so as to realize the quantitative assessment of corrosion risk. Its beneficial effects include: First, the lightning strike cumulative algorithm accurately captures the cumulative corrosion characteristics in the high lightning strike frequency area, significantly improving the scientificity of long-term corrosion assessment; Second, the corrosion risk index CRR combines multi-parameter analysis, providing strong support for the accurate quantification of the comprehensive risk of the pipeline; Third, the dynamic assessment and quantitative analysis results lay the foundation for the intelligent monitoring and early warning mechanism of the pipeline. Through this method, the pipeline risk management ability is greatly improved, the risk of safety accidents caused by cumulative corrosion failure is effectively reduced, and the operation efficiency and reliability of the oil pipeline system are comprehensively enhanced.

[0110] S51. Based on the user's initial setting of the corrosion risk threshold Cth, conduct a secondary comparison and evaluation analysis with the corrosion risk index CRR to analyze the corrosion situation of the oil pipeline by lightning strikes. The specific evaluation content is as follows;
[0111] When the corrosion risk index CRR ≥ the corrosion risk threshold Cth, it indicates the electrical accumulation situation of lightning strikes in the current area, and there is a corrosion risk to the oil pipeline. At this time, a risk warning is generated, and the grounding device is automatically activated to eliminate static electricity;
[0112] When the corrosion risk index CRR < the corrosion risk threshold Cth, it indicates the electrical accumulation situation of lightning strikes in the current area, and the oil pipeline is in a safe state. At this time, there is no need to generate a safety warning.
[0113] S52. Through front-end and back-end programming technologies, a visual interface is constructed in the central detection system. When a risk warning is generated through secondary comparison and evaluation, the area information of the current oil pipeline, the static charge accumulation risk value Qst(t), and the corrosion risk index CRR are displayed on the visual interface, and the risk monitoring situation of the lightning strike area is displayed.
[0114] In this embodiment, through the above method steps, the method realizes the secondary evaluation analysis and intelligent risk warning management based on the corrosion risk index CRR, providing an effective guarantee for the safe operation of the oil pipeline in high lightning strike areas. In specific implementation, through the corrosion risk threshold Cth set by the user, the calculated corrosion risk index CRR is subjected to secondary comparison and evaluation. When it is detected that CRR ≥ Cth, the system automatically generates a risk warning and triggers the grounding device to eliminate static electricity to reduce the corrosion risk of the pipeline; when CRR < Cth, the pipeline is in a safe range and there is no need to generate a warning. At the same time, through front-end and back-end programming technologies, a visual interface is constructed in the central detection system to dynamically display the area information of the oil pipeline, the static charge accumulation risk value Qst(t), the corrosion risk index CRR, and the risk monitoring situation of the lightning strike area. The visual interface intuitively presents the risk status and area distribution, providing convenient operation and decision-making support for pipeline management. The core purpose of this method is to realize the intelligent warning and dynamic display of lightning strike cumulative risks through the comparative analysis of the corrosion risk threshold and the comprehensive risk index, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the oil pipeline. Its beneficial effects include: First, the secondary evaluation based on the risk index CRR improves the accuracy of corrosion risk judgment; Second, the automatic warning and protection trigger mechanism significantly shortens the response time and improves the timeliness of risk management; Third, the real-time dynamic visual display makes the monitoring results more intuitive and helps the scientific decision-making of pipeline operation management. Through this method, pipeline management has changed from static monitoring to dynamic warning, greatly enhancing the control ability of lightning strike corrosion risks, reducing the accident rate, and improving the operation efficiency and safety of the oil pipeline system.
