[0039] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0040] Example

[0041] A risk optimization method for the entire life cycle of buried water supply pipelines considering carbon emissions, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0042] Step S1: Collect carbon emission data to construct a carbon emission assessment dataset. This data is integrated across the entire pipeline lifecycle, including planning and design, construction, operation and maintenance, aging assessment, renewal and decommissioning, and environmental data, to construct a pipeline carbon emission model and risk assessment model. Through literature research, carbon emission data for different materials, production processes, transportation methods, and construction methods is systematically collected. Secondly, field surveys are conducted to obtain first-hand data from actual engineering projects, focusing on the carbon emission characteristics during the construction and operation phases.

[0043] Furthermore, through expert interviews and in-depth discussions with industry experts, we gained professional insights into the carbon emission characteristics and optimization strategies of different materials and construction methods. Ultimately, we integrated data resources from the China Life Cycle Database (CLCD) and Switzerland's Ecoinvent to construct an accurate and comprehensive carbon emission assessment dataset, providing data support for the optimization model.

[0044] Step S2: Constructing a carbon emission model and a risk assessment model based on the carbon emission assessment dataset. Constructing a carbon emission model and a risk assessment model respectively to quantify carbon emissions, risk factors, and cost consumption.

[0045] Carbon emission model: covers the calculation of the carbon footprint of the entire life cycle of materials production, transportation, construction, operation, maintenance and decommissioning.

[0046] Risk Optimization Model:

[0047] ;

[0048] Where x is the design variable (pipe material, construction method, etc.), f(x) is the total risk function, P 0i is the probability of occurrence of the i-th failure mode, C 0i is the loss of the ith failure mode, C m is the maintenance cost caused by pipeline failure, and n is the number of types of consumed raw materials or energy.

[0049] Risk Assessment: Calculate the pipeline risk priority number (RPN) through pipeline failure mode analysis (FMEA), and combine it with quantitative risk assessment (QRA) to quantify the failure probability and accident consequences. Using the potential failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) method, identify pipeline failure modes and calculate the risk priority number (RPN). Based on this RPN, combine it with the quantitative risk analysis (QRA) method to estimate the pipeline failure probability and loss scenario. A risk assessment model is then developed based on this pipeline failure probability and loss scenario.

[0050] Step S3: Calculate the risk of the entire life cycle of the buried water supply pipeline based on the risk assessment model and the carbon emission model. Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown. The optimization objectives are risk optimization and carbon emission minimization. Cost analysis: This covers the full life cycle risk calculations for construction, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning.

[0051] NSGA-II algorithm: Use non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) to achieve multi-objective optimization. The specific steps are as follows Figure 5 As shown in the figure, specifically: 1. Initialize the population: randomly generate multiple optimization schemes, each corresponding to different pipeline design parameters. 2. Non-dominated sorting: sort the schemes according to carbon emissions, risk and cost targets, and screen out high-quality solutions. 3. Congestion calculation: ensure the diversity of optimization solutions and improve the quality of solutions. 4. Selection, crossover and mutation: generate new optimization schemes and continuously optimize the objective function. 5. Iterative optimization: continue to calculate until convergence to obtain the optimal Pareto front solution set. The NSGA-II algorithm sets the population size to 100, the iteration number to 500, the crossover probability to 0.9, and the mutation probability to 0.1.

[0052] Result Output: Output the Pareto optimal solution for decision makers to select, conduct sensitivity analysis, identify key influencing factors, optimize design parameters, and improve the scientific nature of decision making. Risk Model: Utilize the potential failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) method combined with quantitative risk analysis (QRA) to establish a risk assessment model based on failure probability and consequential loss.

[0109] Conclusion: PE pipes, while minimizing carbon emissions, present a slightly higher risk. Ductile iron pipes offer a compromise, balancing both low carbon emissions and low risk. This example only considers three materials and ignores construction methods, resulting in fewer Pareto frontier points.
