Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of municipal engineering water supply, and in particular relates to a method for optimizing the setting of a pressure reducing valve of a water supply network based on global pressure regulation. Background Art
[0002] The leakage problem of water supply pipe network has always been an important problem in urban water supply management. With the acceleration of urbanization, the scale of water supply pipe network is expanding, and the complexity of water supply pipelines is also increasing year by year. However, the aging and leakage of water supply pipe network have intensified, which not only leads to a large loss of water resources, but also increases the operation and maintenance burden of the pipe network. In addition, the leakage problem of pipe network has an adverse effect on the energy efficiency of water supply system, further increasing energy consumption. Existing leakage control methods usually rely on manual inspection, regular maintenance and pipeline repair. Such methods are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also difficult to fully cover the entire pipe network system. In particular, for hidden leakage points buried deep underground, leakage problems are often difficult to detect in time, resulting in long-term waste of water resources.
[0003] In recent years, the application of pressure management technology in water supply networks has provided a new technical path for leakage control. Studies have shown that the degree of leakage in water supply networks is closely related to the pressure level in the pipelines. By rationally regulating the water pressure in the network, the background leakage caused by high pressure can be effectively reduced, while reducing the incidence of pipe bursts. However, the current pressure management technology still mainly relies on manual experience for water pressure regulation and the arrangement of pressure regulating valves. Its operation process lacks systematic and scientific basis, and it is difficult to make precise adjustments according to actual water supply needs and network layout. This not only affects the control effect of the pressure reducing valve, but may also lead to insufficient water supply in local areas due to unreasonable pressure regulation, or excessive pressure in some areas, which in turn increases the risk of leakage. In addition, the existing pressure reducing valve arrangement method is often based on local pressure regulation, lacks a global optimization solution, and is difficult to improve the operating efficiency of the water supply system as a whole.

Summary of the invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for optimizing the setting of pressure reducing valves in a water supply network based on global pressure regulation, which can solve the shortcomings of the traditional method that the arrangement of pressure reducing valves mainly relies on manual experience and simple hydraulic models.
[0007] In order to achieve the purpose of the present invention, the following technical method is provided: a method for optimizing the setting of a pressure reducing valve in a water supply network based on global pressure regulation, comprising the following steps: Obtain the basic information of the water supply network in the area to construct the corresponding water supply network topology; According to the relationship between the friction coefficient of each pipe in the topological structure of the water supply network and the water demand of the node under multiple working conditions, a relationship function is constructed and the relationship function is fitted based on the pressure and flow monitoring results in the water supply network in the region to obtain an offline hydraulic model of the network under multiple working conditions; Based on the offline hydraulic model simulation of the pipe network, the water supply path of each pipeline at each moment is obtained, and the total downstream water supply length of the pipeline at the corresponding moment is calculated based on the water supply path, and the maximum downstream pressure drop space of the corresponding pipeline at each moment is calculated according to the corresponding nodes on the water supply path and the total downstream water supply length; Based on the offline hydraulic model simulation of the pipe network, the flow rate and flow direction of each pipe at each moment are obtained; according to the water supply flow direction and the node position in the topological structure of the water supply pipe network, the downstream node set of each pipe at each moment is counted; according to the downstream node set and the total downstream water supply length of the corresponding pipe, the downstream water ratio of the corresponding pipe is calculated; Design corresponding evaluation indicators according to the preset arrangement quantity in the pressure reducing valve setting scheme, and traverse all pipes in the water supply network based on the evaluation indicators, select the pipe with the largest evaluation indicator to install the pressure reducing valve, and remove the installed pipes and repeatedly traverse the remaining pipes in the water supply network until the preset arrangement quantity is met; After the pressure reducing valve is installed, run the online hydraulic model of the water supply network at the current moment, calculate the minimum pressure downstream of each pressure reducing valve in the normally open state and the pressure in front of the pressure reducing valve, and thereby determine the pressure behind the valve of each pressure reducing valve at the current moment. Use this method to traverse all subsequent water supply moments to achieve real-time global pressure control of the water supply network.
[0008] Among them, the online hydraulic model of the water supply network is similar to the offline hydraulic model of the network in form and structure, and is distinguished only by the different data types. The input of the offline hydraulic model of the network is historical hydraulic data, and the input of the online hydraulic model of the water supply network is current hydraulic data.
[0009] The present invention takes into account factors such as pipe network layout, pressure distribution, water supply demand, etc. from a global perspective, and optimizes the design of the position, quantity and parameters of the pressure reducing valve to ensure that the pressure in the pipe network fluctuates within a reasonable range, thereby minimizing the background leakage rate and the probability of pipe burst.

[0015] Specifically, the expression of the evaluation index is as follows: in, represents the proportion of downstream water, Indicates the maximum downstream pressure drop space, Represents the total length of downstream water supply.
[0016] Specifically, when the pressure reducing valve is installed on a pipeline, a preset value of the post-valve pressure of the pressure reducing valve is set based on the difference between the maximum pressure reduction space downstream of the pipeline and the pre-valve pressure when the pressure reducing valve is installed on the pipeline.
[0017] Specifically, the process of real-time global pressure regulation is as follows: At the current moment, each pressure reducing valve is set to a normally open state, and the downstream minimum pressure of each pressure reducing valve in the normally open state and the pressure in front of the pressure reducing valve are obtained through the offline hydraulic model of the pipeline network; Based on the minimum service pressure required for normal water use by the user, the downstream pressure of each pressure reducing valve is adjusted. The expression is as follows: in, represents the minimum downstream pressure of the kth pressure reducing valve in the normally open state, It represents the pressure in front of the kth pressure reducing valve in the normally open state. Indicates the minimum service pressure required for normal water use by users.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: Through comprehensive analysis of the pressure distribution of the entire water supply network, the layout of the pressure reducing valve is optimized to ensure uniform pressure distribution in each area and avoid local high or low pressure problems; Combining real-time monitoring and feedback control technology, it can dynamically adjust the parameters of the pressure reducing valve according to the real-time water supply demand and pipeline network status, effectively respond to fluctuations in water demand in the pipeline network, ensure that the pressure in each time period is always within a reasonable range, and avoid the problem of insufficient or excessive pressure reduction caused by traditional static layout methods.

[0023] Collect pipeline material, pipe age and other attribute data to initialize the pipeline friction coefficient. At the same time, based on the historical observation data of each hour of the pressure and flow monitoring points (a total of hours), corrected the pipe friction coefficient in the water supply network model and the water demand of each node per hour, and finally established the offline hydraulic model of the network (total simulation time Hour).
[0024] Based on the offline hydraulic model simulation of the pipe network, the water supply path of each pipeline at each moment is obtained, and the total downstream water supply length of the pipeline at the corresponding moment is calculated based on the water supply path, and the maximum downstream pressure drop space of the corresponding pipeline at each moment is calculated according to the corresponding nodes on the water supply path and the total downstream water supply length; The process in this embodiment is as follows: run ( ) The offline hydraulic model of the water supply network at any time to determine the pipeline ( , The downstream water supply path is the collection of all pipes in the water supply network. .

[0027] Based on the offline hydraulic model simulation of the pipe network, the flow rate and flow direction of each pipe at each moment are obtained; according to the water supply flow direction and the node position in the topological structure of the water supply pipe network, the downstream node set of each pipe at each moment is counted; according to the downstream node set and the total downstream water supply length of the corresponding pipe, the downstream water ratio of the corresponding pipe is calculated; The process in this embodiment is as follows: run ( ) The offline hydraulic model of the water supply network is used to determine the flow rate and flow direction of each pipe in the network, and the pipeline is determined according to the flow direction.

[0029] According to the preset arrangement quantity in the pressure reducing valve setting scheme, the corresponding evaluation index is designed, and all pipes in the water supply network are traversed based on the evaluation index, and the pipe with the largest evaluation index is selected to install the pressure reducing valve, and the remaining pipes in the water supply network are repeatedly traversed after removing the installed pipes until the preset arrangement quantity is met, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The triangle icon in the middle is a pressure reducing valve; The process in this embodiment is as follows: Develop a pipeline ( )Evaluation index when installing pressure reducing valve , the specific formula is as follows: Formula 1-4 Traverse all pipes in the water supply network and calculate each pipe according to formula 1-4 ( )Evaluation index when installing pressure reducing valve .

Use this method to traverse all subsequent water supply moments to achieve real-time global pressure control of the water supply network.
[0033] The specific process in this embodiment is as follows: For the current moment , set each pressure reducing valve to the normally open state.
