DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0054] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] Hydrogen-blended natural gas gathering and transportation stations are prone to leaking flammable, explosive, toxic and harmful gas media due to sealing failure, corrosion and perforation of equipment and facilities, which can lead to accidents such as fire, explosion and air pollution. Therefore, it is urgent to strengthen the monitoring and detection capabilities of gas leakage in stations.

[0056] Raman spectroscopy is a type of molecular vibration spectroscopy that obtains molecular structure information by measuring the change in the frequency of scattered light relative to the incident light. It is independent of the frequency of the incident photons and the energy level difference of molecular transitions.

[0057] Figure 1 The flowchart of the method for spectral telemetry of gas leakage in a hydrogen-blended natural gas station according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the present invention proposes a method for spectral remote sensing of gas leakage in a hydrogen-blended natural gas station, comprising the following steps:

[0058] S101. The laser emission system emits a pulsed laser of a specific wavelength. The laser irradiates a leaking gas cloud such as hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide. After the photons collide inelastically with the leaking gas molecules, the frequency of a small number of photons and the direction of the light change according to the different molecular scattering cross sections, generating Raman scattered light (Raman scattered light is a component different from the wavelength and frequency of the incident laser, and the scattering with a longer wavelength is Stokes Raman scattered light). Exemplarily, the wavelength of the pulsed laser is 355nm, the power is 60mJ, and the frequency is 20Hz.

[0059] S102, the optical receiving system receives the Stokes Raman scattered light signal generated by the leaking gas cloud, converts it into an electrical signal after splitting and filtering, and sends the electrical signal to the signal processing and data acquisition system.

[0060] S103. Based on the background visible light image data collected by the video acquisition system, the signal processing and data acquisition system processes the electrical signal to obtain a Raman scattering spectrum. The displacement change amount generated by the Stokes Raman scattering light signal is obtained according to the Raman scattering spectrum to qualitatively detect the type of leaked gas molecules. The Stokes Raman scattering wavelength displacement amount depends on the type of molecule. Therefore, the type of molecule can be identified from the wavelength of the Stokes light. The Raman shift calculation formula is shown in formula (1). The leaked gas can be qualitatively detected according to the Raman spectrum displacement of common gases in natural gas gathering and transportation stations.

[0061]

[0062] Taking the use of Q-switched pulsed Nd:YAG laser (355nm, 60mJ, 20Hz) as the laser light source as an example, under the irradiation of 355nm incident laser, the Raman scattering light wavelengths of some leaked gas molecules are as follows: the Raman scattering light wavelengths of nitrogen, water vapor, hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide gas are 386.7nm, 407.8nm, 416nm, 395.6nm, and 390.9nm, respectively.

[0063] Taking Nd:YAG laser (second harmonic wavelength 532nm, 5-7ns, 10Hz) as the laser light source as an example, under 355nm incident laser irradiation, the Raman scattering light wavelengths of some leaked gas molecules are as follows: the Raman scattering light wavelengths of nitrogen, water vapor, hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide gas are 607.31nm, 660.28nm, 683.01nm, 629.72nm, and 617.44nm, respectively.

[0064] S104. Determine the location of the gas leakage point according to the source of the Stokes Raman scattering light signal.

[0065] S105, using the back echo signal of the stable nitrogen content in the atmosphere as a reference value, the concentration of the leaked gas is determined according to the ratio of the Raman scattered light of the leaked gas and the nitrogen measured simultaneously. Exemplarily, the Raman scattered light of the leaked gas and the nitrogen can be calculated according to the following laser radar equation (2).

[0066] Taking hydrogen as an example, the quantitative calculation method of hydrogen leakage concentration is as follows:

[0067]

[0068] Among them, S Gas is the Raman scattered light signal of the leaked gas; SN2 is the Raman scattered light signal of nitrogen in the atmosphere; η is the photon efficiency of the detector (signal collector in the coaxial five-channel detection unit); P0 is the laser power; K is the collection efficiency of the optical receiving system; Y(r) is the overlap function of the emitted laser beam and the field of view of the optical receiver (optical receiving system); A is the light receiving surface area of ​​the optical receiver; r is the telemetry distance (i.e., the distance between the leaking gas cloud and the telemetry device); N is the gas density; σ is the Raman scattering cross section; c is the speed of light; τ is the laser pulse width; α L is the extinction coefficient; α R is the extinction coefficient of Raman scattered light.

[0069] The Raman scattering light signals of the gas leaking into the air and the atmospheric N2 were measured simultaneously by Raman lidar, and the Raman scattering light signals of the gas leaking into the air and the atmospheric N2 were measured according to the S Gas (r) / S N2 (r) The concentration of leaked gases such as hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide can be obtained.

[0070] The present invention provides a gas leakage spectral telemetry method for a hydrogen-blended natural gas station. The method irradiates a leaking gas cloud with a laser of a specific wavelength to obtain the displacement of the Stokes Raman scattering spectrum line, thereby realizing qualitative detection of the leaking gas. The method is combined with a laser radar equation to measure the concentration of the leaking gas according to the ratio of the Raman scattering signals of the leaking gas and atmospheric nitrogen measured simultaneously, thereby realizing quantitative detection of the leaking gas.
