Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of deep - water umbilical cable temperature monitoring. Specifically, it relates to a method and system for processing deep - water umbilical cable temperature monitoring data. Background Art

[0002] Today, with the increasing depth of ocean development, deep - water umbilical cables play a crucial role in ocean engineering. During the process of the umbilical cable being wound in and out by the winch, it is in a complex and changing ocean environment. Factors such as the flow characteristics of seawater (including changes in flow velocity and direction), depth - related temperature gradients, and dynamic stresses caused by winch operation will all affect the temperature of the umbilical cable.

[0003] Traditional temperature monitoring methods, such as point - type monitoring methods based on thermocouples or thermistors, have many limitations. These traditional sensors can only measure temperature at limited discrete points, making it difficult to deploy and measure temperature on the umbilical cable. Moreover, their durability in harsh ocean environments is poor, and they are easily interfered by factors such as seawater corrosion and mechanical vibration, resulting in inaccurate monitoring. In addition, the data transmission and processing speed of traditional monitoring methods is slow, making it difficult to achieve real - time monitoring. When the temperature of the umbilical cable changes abnormally, it cannot be detected and corresponding measures cannot be taken in time, thus posing a threat to the performance and safety of the umbilical cable and the stability of the entire ocean engineering system.

[0004] In the prior art, distributed fiber optic sensing technology, with its unique advantages, can achieve continuous and long - distance measurement along the optical fiber, and the optical fiber itself has excellent characteristics such as corrosion resistance and electromagnetic interference resistance, making it very suitable for application in ocean environments. However, traditional distributed fiber optic sensing technology has two major limitations in dealing with motion - state monitoring:

[0005] 1. The interference of acceleration mutations during the start - up and shut - down stages of the winch on the optical fiber signal is not considered, resulting in step - type errors in the temperature monitoring curve;

[0006] 2. There is a lack of a Rayleigh scattering frequency shift compensation mechanism for changes in seawater pressure. When the diving depth of the umbilical cable exceeds 500 meters, the temperature measurement error grows non - linearly.

[0007] Simply applying distributed fiber optic sensing technology is not sufficient to fully meet the special requirements of deep - water umbilical cable temperature monitoring. It is also necessary to develop a dedicated data - processing method for the characteristics of the umbilical cable to improve the accuracy and reliability of monitoring. Summary of the Invention

[0008] One of the objectives of the present invention is to propose a method for processing deep - water umbilical cable temperature monitoring data, which can not only monitor the temperature change of the umbilical cable in real - time and accurately, but also improve the accuracy and reliability of the monitoring data, ensuring the safe operation of the deep - water umbilical cable in a complex ocean environment.

[0009] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0010] A method for processing temperature monitoring data of a deep - water umbilical cable, comprising the following steps:

[0011] S100: Line test: Start the temperature monitoring host and check the connectivity of the line;

[0012] S200: Signal reception: Obtain the data signal of the fiber optic sensor through the data acquisition unit;

[0013] S300: Signal demodulation: Demodulate the temperature - related information from the electrical signal transmitted by the data acquisition unit through the demodulator, and pre - process the demodulated data to remove significantly abnormal data;

[0014] S400: Data pre - processing: Pre - process the adjusted data through the data processing unit to extract the temperature information transmitted by the fiber optic sensor;

[0015] S400: Data processing: Filter and denoise the extracted temperature information through the data processing unit;

[0016] S500: Feature extraction: Extract the signal features related to temperature changes in the processed data;

[0017] S600: Temperature estimation: Estimate the temperature through the thermo - optic effect and elasto - optic effect of the fiber optic sensor and the heat conduction model of the umbilical cable;

[0018] S700: Result verification: Verify the accuracy of the temperature by comparing the real - time temperature evaluation data and historical data;

[0019] S800: Result output: Output and display the temperature monitoring result of the umbilical cable.

[0020] Further, step S300 includes:

[0030] S412: Dynamically adjust the step size. The adaptive filter introduces the umbilical cable winch speed signal, establishes a step size factor dynamic adjuster. When the winch speed v is less than or equal to 30 revolutions per minute, the step size factor μ = 0.02 + 0.03×v / 60; when the winch speed v is greater than 30 revolutions per minute, the step size factor μ = 0.05.

[0031] S413: Error feedback closed-loop. Filter the output data signal through the adaptive filter, and output the error signal through the error calculation module. The error signal is simultaneously input into the weight update module and the historical database; the weight update frequency of the adaptive filter is dynamically associated with the winch speed. When the speed sensor detects a speed > 30 rpm, start the fast convergence mode, adjust the step size factor μ of the adaptive filtering algorithm from 0.01 to 0.05, and shorten the weight update period to 5 milliseconds.

[0032] Furthermore, the convolutional neural network in step S420 adopts a three-layer progressive convolutional kernel group design, including a convolutional kernel group matching the fundamental vibration frequency of the umbilical cable:

[0035] The third layer is a 7×1 convolutional kernel, capturing the characteristics of vortex-induced vibration of seawater, corresponding to a fundamental frequency bandwidth of 15 - 50 Hz;

[0036] The specific steps are as follows:

[0052] S423: Adaptive feature enhancement:

[0053] Set a multi-modal feature fusion module at the output end of the third convolutional layer, including:

[0054] Channel attention mechanism: Dynamically calculate the weight values of each feature channel through the SE module to achieve autonomous recalibration of the feature channels;

[0056] where is the adaptive weight coefficient, and the value range is [0.3, 0.7];

[0057] Noise perception regularization: Dynamically adjust the Dropout ratio according to the real-time signal-to-noise ratio. Strong regularization is enabled when the signal-to-noise ratio is below 20 dB;

[0058] S424: Temperature regression output:

[0070] S720: Combine the above analysis to perform a correlation analysis between the real-time monitoring data and the current working condition. If the correlation is lower than the set threshold, it is prompted that there may be measurement errors or system failures.

[0071] Another object of the present invention is to propose a deep-water umbilical cable temperature monitoring system, including a temperature monitoring host, a data processing unit, a winch for coiling the umbilical cable, and an umbilical cable for connecting underwater equipment. An optical fiber sensor is provided in the umbilical cable, and the temperature monitoring host communicates with the optical fiber sensor;

[0072] The temperature monitoring host includes a data acquisition unit and a demodulator. The data acquisition unit is used to convert the weak optical signal transmitted by the fiber optic sensor into an electrical signal, and the demodulator is used to accurately demodulate the temperature information from the electrical signal transmitted by the data acquisition unit;

[0073] The data processing unit is used to receive the temperature information transmitted by the demodulator and perform data processing. The temperature monitoring host is used to display the data information processed by the data processing unit.

[0074] Furthermore, it includes a slip ring for connecting the temperature monitoring host and the fiber optic sensor. One side of the tail fiber of the slip ring is connected to the interface of the temperature monitoring host, and the tail fiber on the other side is connected to the fiber optic sensor through fusion splicing or a fiber optic connector.

[0075] Furthermore, it includes a fixed pulley group and underwater equipment;

[0076] The fixed pulley group is used for guiding during the bending, entering the water, and exiting the water processes of the umbilical cable;

[0077] The underwater equipment is connected to the end of the umbilical cable located underwater and is powered, communicated with, and deployed and recovered by traction through the umbilical cable to carry out underwater operations.

[0078] The working principle and beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0079] The process of the present invention mainly includes signal reception, signal demodulation, data preprocessing, data processing, feature extraction, temperature estimation, result verification, data visualization, and reporting data processing links. Special filtering and denoising techniques are adopted to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal; in the feature extraction link, features such as wavelength drift and light intensity change rate are extracted, and the high-order statistical features of the signal are analyzed to more accurately determine the temperature change pattern; in the temperature estimation link, a hybrid model based on machine learning is used for temperature estimation to improve the accuracy of temperature estimation; in the result verification link, the accuracy of the temperature is verified by comparing the real-time monitoring data and historical data. This technology is of great significance in marine engineering monitoring. It can not only monitor the temperature change of the umbilical cable in real time and accurately, but also improve the accuracy and reliability of the monitoring data through innovative data processing methods, ensuring the safe operation of the deepwater umbilical cable in a complex marine environment.

[0080] In addition, the present invention conducts high-precision monitoring of the temperature of the deepwater umbilical cable through the special measurement principle of the fiber optic sensor, high-precision signal acquisition and demodulation, and advanced data processing algorithms, and can control the error within a very small range, providing accurate data support for the condition assessment of the umbilical cable.

[0081] Meanwhile, from the rapid acquisition of signals, real-time demodulation to the rapid processing of data and result output, the whole process is completed in a short time, which can timely reflect the change of the temperature of the umbilical cable. Once the temperature is abnormal during the winding and unwinding process of the umbilical cable winch, a rapid response can be made.

[0082] The long-distance monitoring ability of the distributed optical fiber sensing technology itself, combined with the design of each component in the present invention (such as the smooth ring to ensure the stability of signal transmission), enables the system to stably monitor the temperature of the long-distance deep-water umbilical cable, unaffected by the length and complex movement of the umbilical cable. Multiple links in the special algorithm, such as data preprocessing, result verification, etc., and the redundant design of each component of the system (such as the self-calibration function of the demodulator), jointly ensure the high reliability of the system and reduce the possibility of false alarms and missed alarms. The design of the system and algorithm fully considers the complexity of the marine environment, such as factors like high pressure, high corrosion, electromagnetic interference, etc., enabling the present invention to operate stably in the harsh deep-water marine environment and effectively monitor the temperature of the umbilical cable.

[0083] The present invention is of great significance in the state monitoring of deep-water umbilical cables in ocean engineering, especially focusing on the accurate monitoring of the temperature change of the umbilical cable under the influence of various factors in a complex marine environment. The present invention particularly relates to an adaptive data processing method for the marine environment under dynamic laying conditions, and develops a temperature monitoring algorithm system with environmental adaptability for special working conditions such as motion artifacts generated during the winding and unwinding process of the umbilical cable winch and signal distortion caused by the change of the seawater pressure gradient.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0091] As Figure 3-4 shown, a deep-water umbilical cable temperature monitoring system includes a temperature monitoring host 1, a data processing unit 4, a fixed pulley group 9, an underwater device 10, a winch 8 for coiling the umbilical cable 6, and an umbilical cable 6 for connecting the underwater device 10.

The optical fiber sensor 7 is based on various optical effects of the optical fiber (such as Raman scattering, Brillouin scattering, etc.) to achieve temperature measurement. When the temperature of the umbilical cable 6 changes, the characteristics of the scattered light in the optical fiber (including light intensity, frequency, etc.) will change accordingly. By accurately measuring these changes, the temperature information can be obtained.

During the retraction and deployment process of the umbilical cable 6, the smooth ring 5 can realize the fiber optic connection and communication between the fiber optic sensor 7 in the umbilical cable 6 that rotates with the winch 8 and the temperature monitoring host 1.

[0100] Demodulator: Through signal demodulation algorithms, it can demodulate the temperature-related information from the electrical signal transmitted by the data acquisition unit 2. The demodulator has a wide dynamic range, can process input signals of different intensities, and has high demodulation accuracy, reaching sub-degree Celsius level accuracy. In addition, the demodulator also has a self-calibration function and can be automatically calibrated regularly to ensure the accuracy of the demodulation results.

[0101] Data processing unit 4: It deeply analyzes the demodulated data using the cumulative average and wavelet denoising algorithms, integrating a high-performance processor and a large-capacity storage device. The processor can quickly run complex algorithms, and the storage device is used to store information such as parameters and historical data required by the algorithms. The data processing unit 4 implements special algorithms through software programming, and the software can be upgraded online to adapt to different application scenarios and improve algorithm performance.

[0158] This section of steps estimates the temperature based on the extracted multi-dimensional features and complex temperature feature relationship models. This model not only considers the relationship between the basic optical properties of the optical fiber and temperature, but also incorporates the material properties of the umbilical cable 6 and the influence of marine environmental factors (such as seawater temperature gradient, pressure, etc.) on temperature measurement. A high-precision temperature estimation model is constructed through methods such as multiple regression analysis and neural networks.

[0159] Use a hybrid model for temperature estimation. First, establish a theoretical model based on physical principles, considering the thermo-optic effect, elasto-optic effect of the optical fiber, and the heat conduction model of the umbilical cable 6, etc. Then, use machine learning methods (such as support vector machines, random forests, etc.) to correct and optimize the theoretical model. The hybrid model is trained and verified through a large amount of experimental data and on-site data to improve the accuracy of temperature estimation. In addition, the model can also be adaptively adjusted according to changes in environmental parameters (such as seawater temperature, depth, etc.).

[0160] S700: Result verification: Verify the accuracy of the temperature by comparing the real-time temperature evaluation data and historical data;

[0161] This section of steps deeply explores various signal features related to the temperature change of the umbilical cable 6. In addition to traditional features such as wavelength drift and light intensity change rate, the joint features of the time domain and frequency domain of the signal are also analyzed, such as signal phase change, frequency modulation depth, etc. Through multi-dimensional feature extraction, the temperature change situation can be described more comprehensively.

[0162] In addition to extracting traditional features such as wavelength drift and light intensity change rate, the higher-order statistical features of the signal can also be analyzed, such as kurtosis, skewness, etc. These higher-order statistics can reflect the non-linear features of the signal and are of great significance for capturing complex signal changes caused by temperature changes.

[0163] At the same time, use time-frequency analysis methods (such as short-time Fourier transform, wavelet transform, etc.) to analyze the signal in the time-frequency domain and extract the joint time-frequency domain features. These features can reflect the distribution of temperature changes at different times and frequencies, and help to more accurately determine the temperature change pattern.

[0164] Among them, step S700 includes:

[0165] S710: Analyze historical data using data mining techniques, extract temperature change patterns under different working conditions, and compare the differences in temperature values, the trends of temperature changes, and the fluctuation ranges.

[0166] S720: Combine the above analysis to perform a correlation analysis between the real-time monitoring data and the current working conditions. If the correlation is lower than the set threshold, it is prompted that there may be measurement errors or system failures.

[0167] This section of steps verifies the accuracy of the temperature by comparing the real-time monitoring data and the historical data. Combining with the historical data database, use data mining techniques to analyze the historical data and extract the temperature change patterns under different working conditions. During the verification process, not only the differences in temperature values are compared, but also the characteristics such as the trends of temperature changes and the fluctuation ranges are compared. At the same time, perform a correlation analysis between the real-time monitoring data and the data of other sensors (such as the water temperature sensor near the umbilical cable 6). If the correlation is lower than the set threshold, it is prompted that there may be measurement errors or system failures.

[0168] S800: Result output: Output and display the temperature monitoring results of the umbilical cable 6.

[0169] This step can output the temperature monitoring results of the umbilical cable 6 in an intuitive and diverse way. In addition to the common digital display and graphical display, the data can also be transmitted to other monitoring systems or remote control centers using a standardized communication protocol (such as Modbus, OPC, etc.) for integration into the entire offshore engineering monitoring system.

[0170] This embodiment innovatively incorporates the motion parameters of the winch 8 into the design of the data processing algorithm, establishes a technical system including a filtering mechanism with rotational speed adaptability and a CNN network guided by temperature characteristics, etc., and solves the problem of temperature monitoring distortion under dynamic deployment conditions. The signal-to-noise ratio reaches 18.7 dB under sea state 4 (9.2 dB for the traditional method), the dynamic accuracy has a maximum error of 0.28 °C under the emergency stop condition of the winch 8 (2.3 °C for the traditional method), and the response speed has an average delay of <180 ms from signal acquisition to temperature output.

[0171] Through the special measurement principle of the fiber optic sensor 7, high-precision signal acquisition and demodulation, and advanced data processing algorithms, the present invention can achieve high-precision monitoring of the temperature of the deepwater umbilical cable 6, with the error controllable within a very small range, providing accurate data support for the status assessment of the umbilical cable 6. From the rapid acquisition of signals, real-time demodulation to the rapid processing of data and result output, the whole process is completed in a short time, which can timely reflect the temperature change of the umbilical cable 6. Once the temperature is abnormal during the winding and unwinding process of the umbilical cable 6 winch 8, a rapid response can be made. The long-distance monitoring ability of the distributed fiber optic sensing technology itself, combined with the design of each component in the present invention (such as the smooth ring 5 to ensure signal transmission stability), enables the system to stably monitor the temperature of the long-distance deepwater umbilical cable 6, without being affected by the length and complex movement of the umbilical cable 6. Multiple links in the special algorithm, such as data preprocessing, result verification, etc., and the redundant design of each component of the system (such as the self-calibration function of the demodulator), jointly ensure the high reliability of the system and reduce the possibility of false alarms and missed alarms. The design of the system and algorithm fully considers the complexity of the marine environment, such as factors like high pressure, high corrosion, and electromagnetic interference, enabling the present invention to operate stably in the harsh deepwater marine environment and effectively monitor the temperature of the umbilical cable 6.

[0172] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
