[0035] Reference Figure 1The figure shows a flow chart of a method for digitally diagnosing the integrity of a natural gas production station process unit according to one embodiment of the present invention. Digitally diagnosing the integrity of a natural gas production station process unit includes a gas pipeline, a compressor, a gas storage device, and a filtration and separation device. In this embodiment, the gas pipeline is the gas pipeline, and the method for digitally diagnosing the integrity of the gas pipeline is improved. The method includes:
[0036] S1. Obtain structural parameter information of the gas pipeline to be inspected.
[0037] Specifically, the structural parameter information is a parameter representing physical information such as the structure and material of the gas pipeline to be inspected; the structural parameter information includes pipeline material (such as steel pipe, plastic pipe or composite material pipe, etc.), pipeline specifications (such as pipeline inner diameter, pipeline outer diameter, pipeline wall thickness), working pressure (the pressure range that the pipeline can withstand during normal operation), design pressure (the maximum pressure that the pipeline can withstand), pipeline connection method (such as threaded connection and welding, etc.) and transmission medium type (such as natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, etc.), etc.
[0038] S2. Construct a three-dimensional pipeline leakage geometric model of the gas pipeline to be detected based on the structural parameter information.
[0039] Specifically, 3D modeling software such as 3D Studio Max or VUE front-end 3D CAD can be used to build a three-dimensional pipeline leakage geometric model based on structural parameter information, or CFD (computational fluid dynamics) method can be used to represent the gas pipeline to be inspected in the form of a three-dimensional geometric grid.
[0040] S3. Collect pipeline operation data of the gas pipeline to be inspected.
[0041] Pipeline operation data includes a sequence of pressure fluctuation signals, acoustic wave signals, and pressure differential signals within the pipeline to be inspected. In this embodiment, the pipeline operation data is collected by sensors installed at designated locations on the gas pipeline to be inspected. Specifically, the pressure sensor collects pressure signals in real time at a set frequency to obtain a sequence of pressure fluctuation signals; the differential pressure sensor collects pressure differential signals, and the acoustic wave sensor collects acoustic wave signals.
[0042] In a preferred implementation of this embodiment, the digital intelligent diagnosis method for process equipment integrity at a natural gas production station further includes:
[0043] S31 , respectively amplifying the pressure fluctuation signal sequence, the sound wave signal sequence, and the pressure difference signal sequence.
[0044] Specifically, a preamplifier is used to amplify the analog signals collected by the pressure sensor, differential pressure sensor, and acoustic wave sensor. The preamplifier can amplify the weak leakage signals collected by the sensors. Since the leakage signal generated by a pipeline leak is inherently very weak, preamplification is necessary to avoid distortion during subsequent transmission when using this signal for detection and processing. In a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, since the collected leakage signal contains background noise and signals in some unwanted frequency bands, a separator is used to process the amplified analog signal to obtain a denoised analog signal. The separator extracts the useful signal frequency band, reduces out-of-band noise, and minimizes the possibility of frequency aliasing, ensuring smooth sampling. After denoising the amplified analog signal, an analog-to-digital converter is used to convert the denoised analog signal into a digital signal. The analog quantity of the leakage condition is also converted into a digital quantity to facilitate processing of pipeline operation data by a computer device (such as a host computer system).
[0045] S32. Integrate the amplified pressure fluctuation signal sequence, the acoustic wave signal sequence, and the pressure difference signal sequence to obtain a simulation data set, and use the simulation data set and the three-dimensional pipeline leakage geometric model to simulate the pipeline leakage process.
[0046] The simulation data set includes a digital signal set corresponding to each analog signal in the pressure fluctuation signal sequence, the sound wave signal sequence and the pressure difference signal sequence.
[0047] S4. Simulate the pipeline leakage process using pipeline operation data and a three-dimensional pipeline leakage geometric model to determine fluid flow state information inside the gas pipeline to be inspected.
[0048] In this embodiment, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to construct a three-dimensional pipeline leakage geometric model. The flow of the fluid inside the gas pipeline to be inspected is simulated based on the three-dimensional pipeline leakage geometric model and pipeline operation data. CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) is a computational method that uses mathematical methods to solve engineering problems related to fluid flow. When constructing a pipeline leakage model, simulation and analysis can be performed using CFD. The specific steps include establishing a geometric grid, selecting a solver, determining boundary conditions, solving and analyzing the equations, and verifying the results. Using CFD technology, computers can be used to analyze and display flow field phenomena, enabling flow field predictions in a relatively short period of time. CFD simulations can help understand fluid dynamics problems, provide guidance for experiments, and offer references for design, thereby saving time, manpower, and resources. The essence of CFD is solving equations. The appropriate model is selected for a specific physical flow phenomenon, and then the equations are solved to produce various field results.
[0049] Taking the leakage of natural gas pipelines of common sizes in cities as an example, a physical geometric model is established, such as Figure 2 The urban pipeline selected for study has a diameter of 150 mm. To minimize the impact of inlet and outlet boundary conditions on the flow field at the leak location during CFD calculations, the length of each end of the pipeline extends by more than six pipe diameters, resulting in a total pipe length of 2000 mm. The leak opening is located at the center of the pipeline, with a circular geometry, a 4 mm diameter, and a height extending by more than three times the diameter. The total length of the injection zone is 15 mm.
[0050] This application uses CFD software FLUENT to simulate and analyze the gas pipeline leakage process, and uses pre-processing software ICEM to model the flow field of pipeline leakage and establish a spatial discrete grid of the pipeline model, such as Figure 3 ICEM stands for The Integrated Computer Engineering and Manufacturing code for Computational Fluid Dynamics.
[0051] ICEM is mainly used for grid generation in CFD (computational fluid dynamics) simulations. It provides functions ranging from geometry creation, grid division, pre-processing condition setting to post-processing. First, the gas pipeline to be inspected is divided into several spatially discrete grids according to the physical spatial distribution. Spatial discretization is to divide the spatially continuous computational domain into many subdomains and determine the nodes in each area to generate a grid. The control equation is then discretized on the grid, that is, the control equation in the partial differential format is converted into a set of algebraic equations at each node. O-type grids are used in both circular pipes and leakage sections to ensure that the minimum angle of the grid is not less than 30°. Considering the influence of the boundary layer, all near-wall grids are encrypted.
[0052] Specifically, the steps of simulating the pipeline leakage process using pipeline operation data and a three-dimensional pipeline leakage geometric model to determine the fluid flow state information inside the gas pipeline to be inspected include:
[0053] S41. Determine the boundary conditions of the three-dimensional pipeline leakage geometric model, the turbulence model, and the physical time step during simulation based on the pipeline operation data.
[0054] Specifically, the boundary conditions need to reflect the actual physical scenario (e.g., in a gas pipeline simulation, the inlet flow velocity = the economic flow velocity of 15 m / s).
[0055] The pipeline working condition simulated in this embodiment is a 0.8MPa urban medium-pressure gas pipeline, and the flow rate is selected as the economic flow rate of the gas network, 15m / s. In an example of this embodiment, the boundary conditions are set as follows: the inlet boundary is given a velocity inlet (15m / s), the outlet boundary is a pressure outlet (0.8MPa), and the leak port is set to a pressure outlet (1atm) after opening. 1atm refers to 1 standard atmospheric pressure, and 1atm is equal to 101325 Pascals (Pa); all wall surfaces are no-slip smooth walls; the inlet boundary represents the starting position of the fluid entering the calculation domain, and the outlet boundary represents the position where the fluid leaves the calculation domain. In the specific implementation process, the boundary conditions can be fine-tuned according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions.
[0056] The time term in steady-state and transient calculations uses automatic time stepping. The convergence criteria for the physical time step in steady-state calculations are that the difference between the inlet and outlet flow fields is less than ±0.5%, and the residual error of the flow field monitoring parameters is less than 10 -6 In transient calculations, the physical time step is set to 10 -4 s, 30 virtual time steps are set in each physical time step to ensure that all parameter residuals in each physical time step converge to 1×10 -4 the following.
[0057] In order to study the pressure and acoustic wave signal characteristics generated during the leakage process, a large number of numerical probes were arranged around the leakage port and in the pipeline. The five typical locations used for analysis in this embodiment are as follows: Figure 4 P0 is the middle position of the leak, which is used to monitor the pressure pulsation and noise level at the leak site. d1 The position of the leak port downstream of the leak port is 1 times the leak port diameter. d2 It is the position of one pipe diameter downstream of the leak, used to examine the pressure attenuation around the leak. u1 、P u2 For the corresponding P d1 、P d2 Upstream position, P d1 、P d2 Used to examine the attenuation of sound waves around a sound source.
[0058] S42. Use the three-dimensional pipeline leakage geometric model to calculate the stable flow field of the pipeline when there is no leakage, which is used as the initial condition for the transient simulation.
[0059] First, a pressure-based steady-state solver is used to calculate the steady flow field of the pipeline when there is no leakage, so as to obtain the steady-state flow field distribution of the gas pipeline to be inspected. This includes but is not limited to the steady-state distribution of parameters such as velocity field, pressure field, and temperature field (for example, the pressure gradient of the gas in the pipeline when it is flowing steadily).
[0060] Afterwards, the turbulence characteristic parameters of the steady flow field are calculated using a turbulence model. The turbulence characteristic parameters of the steady flow field include the steady-state values of the turbulent kinetic energy (k) and the turbulent dissipation rate (ε). The turbulence model uses the standard k-ε two-equation model widely used in engineering. The standard k-ε two-equation model is based on two transport equations and solves k and ε for the wall. The extended wall function is used for wall treatment. The near-wall viscous region is calculated using a grid solver. When the grid is refined along the wall normal, the result deteriorates due to the reduced y+ value of the dense grid. The y+ value is a dimensionless parameter used to describe the boundary layer characteristics in fluid flow. When the y+ value is less than the reference value (the reference value is 15 in the preferred embodiment of this embodiment), an unbounded error will gradually occur in the wall shear force. The extended wall function does not rely on the wall law and is very suitable for complex flows, especially low Reynolds number flow problems. Since leakage causes local high subsonic / supersonic speeds, compressibility is considered in the calculation and the energy equation is used. In terms of sound simulation, the broadband noise model in the acoustic model is used in steady-state calculations to preliminarily predict the noise intensity level (dB). The broadband noise model is an effective noise model for steady-state calculations, with the advantage of minimal computational effort. The pressure pulsation near the sound source is solved through CFD calculations, and the process of noise propagation to the receiver is obtained from the analytical solution of the wave equation. The time term of the steady-state calculation uses an automatic time step, and the convergence criterion is that the difference in the inlet and outlet flow fields is less than ±0.5%, and the residual error of the flow field monitoring parameters is less than 10 -6 .
[0061] When using a grid solution to calculate the viscous area near the wall, the spatial discretization method is used to transform the continuous control equation into a discrete algebraic equation on the grid nodes. In this embodiment, the spatial discretization method is mainly used to control the discretization of the equation and the difference of variables:
[0062] Among them, the discretization of the control equation is to discretize the convection terms (such as velocity gradient) and diffusion terms (such as viscous stress) in the Navier-Stokes equations at the grid nodes; variable interpolation is to calculate the variable values (such as velocity, pressure, k / ε) between adjacent grids through the second-order upwind scheme to ensure accuracy and stability.
[0063] S43. Based on the initial conditions of the transient leakage simulation, a three-dimensional pipeline leakage geometric model is used to simulate the transient flow field from closing to opening of the leakage port to determine the pressure fluctuation and noise intensity change at the moment of pipeline leakage and obtain model simulation data.
[0064] The model simulation data includes reference pressure fluctuation data and reference noise intensity change data at the moment of pipeline leakage; the actual pressure fluctuation data and actual noise intensity change data of the gas pipeline to be tested at each time point are determined based on the pipeline operation data.
[0065] The transient simulation is based on the steady-state simulation. The time term uses the first-order implicit advance method and the physical time step is set to 10 -4 s, set 30 virtual time steps in each physical time step to ensure that all parameter residuals in each physical time step converge to 10 -4 Below. The sound simulation uses the Ffowcs-Williams & Hawkings (FW-H) aeroacoustic model. The acoustic analogy model can solve the pressure pulsations near the sound source through CFD calculations, and the FW-H equation (Ffowcs-Williams & Hawkings equation) is used to obtain the process of noise propagation to the receiver. The FW-H equation is essentially a non-homogeneous wave equation and can be obtained through the continuity equation and the NS equation. The NS equation is the momentum balance equation for viscous fluid; the full English name of the NS equation is Navier-Stokesequations, which is translated into Navier-Stokes equations in Chinese.
[0066] S44. Compare the model simulation data and the pipeline operation data to obtain a comparison result, and determine the fluid flow state information inside the gas pipeline to be inspected based on the comparison result.
[0067] First, a steady-state simulation is performed, and then the transient flow field in the pipeline is simulated using the stable flow field as the initial field. If the transient flow field converges after 0.01s (the monitoring parameters change periodically), the transient flow field in the pipeline is stable at this time, that is, there is no leakage in the gas pipeline to be detected; if a stable state is not formed in the pipeline and there are significant fluctuation characteristics, it indicates that there is a leakage in the pipeline.
[0068] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 ,in, Figure 5 is the dynamic change process of pressure and velocity at the pipeline leakage location, where Figure 5 The left picture shows the dynamic change of pressure at the pipeline leakage location. Figure 5 The right picture in the figure shows the dynamic change of the velocity at the pipeline leakage location. Figure 6 is the noise intensity distribution near the leak before and after the leak, where Figure 6 The left picture in the figure shows the noise intensity distribution near the leak before leakage. Figure 6 The right figure in the figure shows the noise intensity distribution near the leak opening after a leak. The instant the leak opens, a transient pressure drop occurs within the leak opening, causing a dramatic negative pressure fluctuation at the leak location within the pipeline. The velocity within the leak opening gradually increases, forming a high-speed jet. During this process, the flow field experiences unsteady fluctuations for a period of time. When the flow field stabilizes again, the local air velocity within the leak opening increases, generating very strong noise.
[0069] Specifically, the steps of comparing the model simulation data and the pipeline operation data to obtain a comparison result, and determining the fluid flow state information inside the gas pipeline to be inspected according to the comparison result include:
[0070] S441 : Compare the reference pressure fluctuation data and the actual pressure fluctuation data to obtain a first comparison result.
[0071] The reference pressure fluctuation data can be set by the staff according to the structure, material, length and transmission medium of the pipeline. In the preferred implementation of this embodiment, CFD technology is used to simulate the changes in the internal pressure of the pipeline under different working conditions and different leakage diameters to obtain the change curve of the internal pressure of the pipeline. The reference pressure fluctuation change data is formulated based on the change curve of the internal pressure of the pipeline under different working conditions and different leakage diameters and the actual working conditions to improve the accuracy of the leakage detection results.
[0072] Compare the difference between the reference pressure fluctuation data and the actual pressure fluctuation data. If the first comparison result is that the difference between the reference pressure fluctuation data and the actual pressure fluctuation data is less than the first preset reference value, it indicates that the flow field inside the pipeline to be detected is a stable flow field, and the fluid flow state information inside the gas pipeline to be detected is that the fluid in the pipeline is not leaking; if the first comparison result is that the difference between the reference pressure fluctuation data and the actual pressure fluctuation data is greater than or equal to the first preset reference value, it indicates that the stable flow inside the pipeline to be detected has changed, and there is a possibility of leakage of the medium in the pipeline.
[0073] S442: Compare the reference noise intensity change data and the actual noise intensity change data to obtain a second comparison result.
[0074] The reference noise intensity change data can also be set by the staff according to the structure, material, length and transmission medium of the pipeline. In the preferred implementation of this embodiment, CFD technology is used to simulate the changes in the internal noise of the pipeline under different pipeline pressures and working conditions, and the change curves of the internal noise of the pipeline under different pipeline pressures and working conditions are obtained; the reference noise intensity change data are formulated based on the change curves of the internal noise of the pipeline under different pipeline pressures and working conditions and the actual working conditions to improve the accuracy of the leakage detection results.
[0075] The difference between the reference noise intensity change data and the actual noise intensity change data corresponding to each time step is compared in turn. If the second comparison result is that the difference between the reference pressure fluctuation data and the actual pressure fluctuation data is less than the second preset reference value, it indicates that the flow field inside the pipeline to be detected is a stable flow field, and the fluid flow state information inside the gas pipeline to be detected is that the fluid in the pipeline is not leaking; if the second comparison result is that the difference between the reference pressure fluctuation data and the actual pressure fluctuation data is greater than or equal to the second preset reference value, it indicates that the stable flow inside the pipeline to be detected has changed, and there is a possibility of leakage of the medium in the pipeline.
[0076] S443: Determine the fluid flow state information inside the gas pipeline to be inspected according to the first comparison result and the second comparison result.
[0077] If the first comparison result is that the difference between the reference pressure fluctuation data and the actual pressure fluctuation data is less than the first preset reference value, and / or the second comparison result is that the difference between the reference pressure fluctuation data and the actual pressure fluctuation data is less than the second preset reference value, then the fluid flow state information inside the gas pipeline to be detected is that the fluid in the pipeline is leaking out.
[0078] If the first comparison result is that the difference between the reference pressure fluctuation data and the actual pressure fluctuation data is greater than or equal to the first preset reference value, and the second comparison result is that the difference between the reference pressure fluctuation data and the actual pressure fluctuation data is greater than or equal to the second preset reference value, then the fluid flow state information inside the gas pipeline to be detected is that the fluid in the pipeline is not leaking.
[0079] S5. Determine whether the gas pipeline to be inspected is leaking based on the fluid flow state information, and obtain a gas pipeline integrity diagnosis result.
[0080] In another embodiment of the present application, when the gas pipeline integrity diagnosis result is that the gas pipeline has a leak, the method further includes:
[0081] S6. For each digital signal in the simulation data set, the signal in the pipeline operation data is analyzed in the time domain and the frequency domain to extract the leakage characteristic parameters.
[0082] The leakage characteristic parameters include the pressure wave attenuation rate, the acoustic wave spectrum peak and the signal propagation time difference. Among them, the pressure wave attenuation gradient is used to reflect the pressure drop rate near the leakage port. The leakage location and leakage diameter range are determined according to the acoustic wave spectrum peak. The signal propagation time difference is the acoustic wave propagation path difference.
[0083] S7. Determine the position coordinates of the pipeline leakage point based on the three-dimensional pipeline leakage geometric model and leakage characteristic parameters.
[0084] Specifically, the location coordinates of the pipeline leakage point are determined based on the three-dimensional pipeline leakage geometric model and leakage characteristic parameters, including:
[0085] S71. Use the pressure wave attenuation rate, acoustic wave spectrum peak, signal propagation time difference, and three-dimensional pipeline leakage geometric model to simulate the pipeline leakage process to determine the synchronous change relationship between the pressure fluctuation and noise intensity at the pipeline leakage port, and establish the association rules between the pipeline leakage flow field and the acoustic field.
[0086] S72. Determine the position coordinates of the pipeline leakage point according to the association rules between the pipeline leakage flow field and the acoustic field and the leakage characteristic parameters.
[0087] When a pipeline leaks, changes in the flow field directly affect the distribution of the acoustic field. The shape and size of the leak hole, as well as parameters such as the flow rate and pressure of the fluid, all influence the characteristics of the sound source and the distribution of the acoustic field. For example, the larger the cross-sectional area of the leak hole and the closer it is to a circle, the faster the gas pressure drops, and the greater the flow rate, sound power level, and sound pressure. Changes in the acoustic field can also reflect the state of the flow field. By measuring the characteristics of the acoustic field, flow field parameters such as flow rate and pressure can be indirectly understood. For example, the shape and size of the leak hole can be inferred by analyzing the sound power level and sound pressure spectrum. By analyzing the association rules between the pipeline leakage flow field and the acoustic field, the leak point can be more accurately located, improving the accuracy of gas pipeline integrity diagnosis results.
[0088] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present invention provides a digital intelligent diagnostic system for the integrity of process equipment at a natural gas production station.
