Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of distributed optical fiber sensing, and in particular relates to a flow and leakage monitoring device and method in a liquid pipeline based on optical fiber sensing. Background Art

[0002] Fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensor (DAS) has many advantages such as non-intrusiveness, long test distance and immunity to electromagnetic interference. It has been widely used in exploration, security and structural health monitoring in the past decade. Traditional DAS systems use single-mode optical fiber as the sensing unit. Due to problems such as the optical fiber preparation process, the refractive index distribution inside the single-mode optical fiber is uneven, which leads to random interference between scattered signals, resulting in coherent fading. The coherent fading problem will seriously affect the test performance of the DAS system. Specifically, the signal amplitude at the fading point is very low, which makes phase demodulation difficult and the perception signal cannot be effectively extracted. Scattering-enhanced optical fiber can effectively increase the intensity of the reflected signal by periodically writing gratings on the fiber core. The scattering-enhanced DAS system can effectively solve the coherent fading problem and improve the performance of the DAS system.

[0003] In the process of transmitting liquids through pipelines, accurate flow monitoring is crucial, which can not only ensure the safety of transmission, but also improve the transmission efficiency. The leakage problem in pipeline transportation has always been a serious safety issue. The leakage of liquids such as gasoline will cause huge economic losses and energy losses, cause environmental pollution and may also cause casualties. Real-time monitoring of pipelines, timely locating the leakage points and repairing the leakage locations can greatly reduce economic losses and avoid the occurrence of large-scale safety accidents.

[0004] In terms of pipeline flow testing, leakage monitoring and third-party disturbance detection, fiber optic sensing technology is becoming a standard technology and playing an increasingly important role. Chinese patent CN201910195421.7 discloses a system and method for monitoring the flow rate of liquid in a pipeline based on distributed fiber optic temperature sensing technology, which can realize flow rate monitoring of multiple pipelines, but the need to lay heating cables at the same time is more complicated to implement. Chinese patent CN202211247692.0 proposes a leakage monitoring device based on distributed fiber optic strain sensing technology, which uses the principle of expansion of the expansion belt when encountering liquid to monitor full-temperature liquid leakage. Chinese patent CN202122144034.6 proposes a pipeline multi-parameter monitoring system, which uses different types of fiber gratings to monitor the temperature, flow rate and pressure in the pipeline, but it is difficult to monitor leakage events at all locations along the pipeline.

[0005] In addition, DAS technology has been increasingly reported to be used for real-time monitoring of oil and gas pipeline leaks and third-party disturbances due to its significant advantages such as long monitoring distance and high test frequency. Chinese patent CN201910599778.1 proposes a system that uses multiple sensing optical fibers and multiple DAS data processing systems to work together to achieve the measurement of flow velocity, leakage and other parameters. However, the data processing method is complex and requires the laying of multiple sensing optical fibers. Too many split paths will also affect the monitoring distance.

A method for monitoring flow and leakage in a liquid pipeline based on optical fiber sensing, characterized in that: The method comprises: Step 1: Turn on the scanning laser to measure the wavelength of light returned by the fiber Bragg grating strain sensor when there is no liquid flowing in the pipeline and at different liquid flow rates, thereby obtaining the strain change and establishing a relationship curve between strain and flow rate; Step 2: Turn on the narrow linewidth laser to enable the scattering enhanced detection system to work, record the demodulated phase data along the pipeline under no leakage and different leakage conditions of the liquid pipeline, and establish a data set; use the data set to train the convolutional neural network to obtain the turbulence feature convolution kernel; Step 3: The system is officially working. The data acquisition unit performs phase demodulation based on a three-by-three fiber coupler on the data collected based on the 3x3 coupler scattering enhancement system to obtain demodulated phase data; or the data acquisition unit performs phase demodulation based on a heterodyne form on the data collected from the heterodyne scattering enhancement detection system to obtain demodulated phase data; The data of the fiber Bragg grating strain sensor is filtered and denoised before being sent to the data processing unit. Using the strain and flow velocity relationship curve obtained in step one and step two and the turbulence characteristic convolution kernel, the data processing unit performs convolution neural network operations on the demodulated phase data to identify turbulence caused by leakage, converts the strain data into flow velocity to obtain the flow velocity result, and finally displays the result.
