[0057] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings. The exemplary embodiments of the present invention and their description are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0058] Example 1
[0059] When a pipeline in the natural gas network is damaged and leaks, the natural gas will rub against the pipe wall at the leak point to produce sound wave oscillations. At the same time, the loss of natural gas causes the pressure in the pipeline to change and produce negative pressure waves. Negative pressure waves propagate through the natural gas in the pipeline, while infrasound waves propagate along the pipeline wall. Since the two signals propagate at different speeds in different media, the location of the pipeline leak can be determined by the time difference between the two signals received by the sensor at the first station. The principle of locating pipeline leak points is as follows: Figure 1 shown.
[0060] Based on the above principle, this embodiment provides a natural gas pipeline leakage detection method. The main implementation process of the method is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the following steps are included:
[0061] Step 1: Establish a topological structure with the intersection of pipelines in the natural gas pipeline network as nodes, and number multiple nodes in the topological structure in sequence. The topological structure of the natural gas pipeline network with numbers is as follows: Figure 3 shown.
[0062] Step 2: A vibration detection device and an air pressure detection device are set at each node of the topological structure; at each node position, the surface vibration signal of the pipeline between the current node and the next node is collected by the vibration detection device, and the in-pipe air pressure signal of the pipeline between the current node and the next node is collected by the air pressure detection device.
[0063] This embodiment uses the YSV8008S 8-channel quasi-dynamic strain gauge to collect the surface vibration signal of the pipeline wall. The YSV8008S quasi-dynamic strain gauge has the input function of measuring strain and vibration signals simultaneously, with a total of 16 channels, 24-bit AD, each channel is independent, and the sampling frequency is 1-8000Hz. At the same time, it adopts the internationally advanced network communication method for connection, and is suitable for various desktop and notebook computers for data collection, monitoring, and control. It can be used independently by a single unit or cascaded by multiple units. The HPM180 gas pressure sensor is selected to obtain the changes in the air pressure in the pipe and generate the air pressure signal in the pipe at the same time.
[0064] Step 3: For each node, execute steps 3.1 to 3.5:
[0065] Step 3.1: Analyze the surface vibration signal and the air pressure signal in the tube to obtain the analysis result. When analyzing the signal, the frequency of the surface vibration signal is mainly compared with the preset frequency threshold, and whether the air pressure signal in the tube transmitted by the gas pressure sensor is a negative pressure wave signal is judged.
[0066] Step 3.2: When the analysis result shows that the frequency of the surface vibration signal is greater than the frequency threshold and the air pressure signal in the pipe is characterized by negative pressure, the node is marked as a pipeline leakage node.
[0067] Step 3.3: Obtain the number corresponding to the pipeline leakage node, and mark the pipeline leakage section in the topology structure according to the number.
[0068] After pipeline leakage node marking and pipeline leakage section marking, the topological structure is as follows Figure 4 shown.
[0069] Step 3.4: Obtain the flow velocity of natural gas in the pipeline corresponding to the pipeline leakage section, obtain the time t1 when the surface vibration signal reaches the node from the leakage point, obtain the time t2 when the gas pressure signal in the pipe reaches the node from the leakage point, and calculate the time difference between t1 and t2.
[0070] Step 3.5: Establish a leakage point calculation model. The expression of the leakage point calculation model is: Where L represents the distance from the leakage point to the node, v1 represents the propagation speed of the air pressure signal in the corresponding pipeline, v2 represents the propagation speed of the surface vibration signal on the wall of the corresponding pipeline, v represents the flow rate of natural gas, t1 represents the time it takes for the air pressure signal in the pipeline to propagate from the leakage point to the node, t2 represents the time it takes for the surface vibration signal to propagate from the leakage point to the node, and t represents the time difference between t1 and t2.
[0071] It should be noted that the propagation speed of the negative pressure wave in the pipeline is affected by many factors, such as the density of the medium in the pipeline and the material, thickness, diameter, etc. of the pipeline. Therefore, the speed of the negative pressure wave cannot be simply regarded as a constant value. The propagation speed of the air pressure signal in the corresponding pipeline is The propagation speed of the surface vibration signal on the wall of the corresponding pipe Among them, K represents the volume elastic coefficient of natural gas in the pipeline, ρ represents the density of natural gas in the pipeline, E represents the elastic modulus of the pipe, D represents the diameter of the pipeline, e represents the thickness of the pipe wall, and C represents the correction coefficient related to the pipeline constraint conditions.
[0072] Furthermore, the method for calculating the time difference between t1 and t2 is:
[0073] Firstly, the surface vibration signal and the air pressure signal in the pipe are subjected to noise reduction processing respectively.
[0074] Then, the surface vibration signal after noise reduction and the air pressure signal in the tube after noise reduction are cross-correlated and the time difference between the two signals is obtained.
[0075] Specifically, on the one hand, the surface vibration signal is subjected to collective empirical mode decomposition to obtain the signal components after empirical mode decomposition; the mutual correlation coefficient between the signal component and the surface vibration signal is obtained; the signal component with a mutual correlation coefficient greater than a threshold is divided to obtain the dominant component; the dominant component is superimposed and reconstructed to obtain the surface vibration signal after noise reduction. On the other hand, the cross-spectral phase difference spectrum between the surface vibration signal and the pressure signal in the pipe is obtained; the amplitude square coherence function of the surface vibration signal and the pressure signal in the pipe is obtained; the characteristic frequency band of the pressure signal in the pipe is extracted according to the cross-spectral phase difference spectrum and the amplitude square coherence function, and the pressure signal in the pipe after noise reduction is obtained according to the characteristic frequency band.
[0076] Among them, the method for performing collective empirical mode decomposition on surface vibration signals is: setting the average number of signal processing times; superimposing multiple random white noises on the signal to obtain multiple signals superimposed with random white noises; repeatedly performing empirical mode decomposition processing on multiple signals superimposed with random white noises until the average number of processing times is reached to obtain multiple signal components after empirical mode decomposition processing; obtaining the average value of the multiple signal components after empirical mode decomposition processing to obtain the signal component of collective empirical mode decomposition.
[0077] The pipeline leakage signal is abrupt at the leakage position (time domain) and is a non-stationary signal. Empirical mode analysis is often used to process non-stationary signals. However, there is an intermittent effect in the empirical mode analysis signal, and the use of empirical mode analysis is prone to modal aliasing. There is also an endpoint effect, which reduces the accuracy of modal decomposition and affects the analysis results of the signal. In order to overcome the modal aliasing phenomenon caused by empirical mode analysis, this embodiment uses the above-mentioned collective empirical mode analysis to perform noise reduction on the surface vibration signal.
[0078] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned ensemble empirical mode analysis method, the calculation formula of the mutual correlation coefficient is:
[0079] The threshold value of the cross-correlation coefficient is Where R(i) represents the mutual correlation coefficient, ρ i (t) represents the i-th signal component, x(t) represents the surface vibration signal, and ε represents the threshold of the cross-correlation coefficient.
[0080] Furthermore, the method for performing cross-spectral analysis on the air pressure signal in the pipe is: obtaining the cross-spectral phase difference spectrum between the surface vibration signal and the pressure signal in the pipe; obtaining the amplitude-squared coherence function of the surface vibration signal and the pressure signal in the pipe; extracting the characteristic frequency band of the pressure signal in the pipe according to the cross-spectral phase difference spectrum and the amplitude-squared coherence function, and obtaining the noise-reduced pressure signal in the pipe according to the characteristic frequency band.
[0081] Step 3.6: Substitute the time difference into the leakage point calculation model to calculate the leakage point.
