Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of compressed air energy storage, and particularly relates to a sealing layer leakage monitoring device and method for an underground artificial cavern gas storage. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a compressed air energy storage power station, an underground artificial cavern gas storage is usually built in rock 100 meters deep underground, adopts a tunnel structure, and has a circular space with a diameter of 10-16 m and a length of 300-600 m, is composed of surrounding rock, reinforced concrete lining and a sealing layer (steel plate or glass steel), and stores high-pressure gas at 8-20 MPa. The existing leakage monitoring technology mainly arranges pressure gauges inside and outside the sealing layer to determine leakage by pressure change, but has the following defects:

[0003] Low positioning efficiency: only leakage occurrence can be determined, and the specific position cannot be quickly locked, manual point-by-point checking is required after the high-pressure gas is released, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive;

[0004] Poor monitoring accuracy: traditional point monitoring cannot form a surface area coverage, the leakage point positioning error is large, and the maintenance efficiency is low;

[0005] Insufficient real-time performance: the pressure change lags behind the leakage occurrence, early warning is difficult to achieve, and a large amount of gas leakage may occur, causing economic losses.

[0006] To solve the above problems, although there are attempts to use distributed sensing in the prior art, the sensing arrangement and data processing logic are not optimized in combination with the special environment (high pressure, humidity, rock vibration) of the underground cavern, and the high-precision positioning requirement cannot be met.

[0007] Therefore, there is a need for a sealing layer leakage monitoring device and method for an underground artificial cavern gas storage that can quickly and accurately position the leakage point of the sealing layer by optimizing the sensing network arrangement and intelligent data processing, and improve the monitoring efficiency and safety. SUMMARY

[0008] The purpose of the present application is to provide a sealing layer leakage monitoring device and method for an underground artificial cavern gas storage, which can quickly and accurately position the leakage point of the sealing layer by optimizing the sensing network arrangement and intelligent data processing, and improve the monitoring efficiency and safety.

[0009] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present application is:

[0011] The further improvement of the technical scheme of the present application is that the distributed optical fiber sensing network comprises high-pressure resistant armored optical cable and uniformly spaced constant temperature compensation optical fiber segments, the outer layer of the high-pressure resistant armored optical cable is provided with a shear-resistant corrugated pipe, and an OTDR diagnostic optical fiber is integrated in the inside to monitor the on-off state of the optical fiber in real time.

[0012] The further improvement of the technical scheme of the present application is that the intelligent data processing unit adopts an LSTM neural network model to identify leakage characteristics, and the characteristics include a temperature gradient change rate > 0.3 DEG C / s and a DT >= 0.5 DEG C / m.

[0013] The further improvement of the technical scheme of the present application is that the LSTM neural network model synchronously analyzes time domain characteristics and spatial correlation, and can identify multi-point concurrent leakage events with an interval >= 1 m.

[0014] The further improvement of the technical scheme of the present application is that the early warning and linkage module comprises a three-level response mechanism: when DT = 0.5-1 DEG C / m, a local sound-light alarm is sounded, when DT > 1 DEG C / m and lasts for 10 s, the partition valve is automatically closed, and when DT > 2 DEG C / m, an explosion-proof ventilation system is started and positioning information is sent to a maintenance terminal.

[0015] A leakage monitoring method for sealing layer of underground artificial cavern gas storage, using a monitoring device to monitor, comprising the following steps:

[0016] Step S1: arranging a distributed optical fiber sensor to form a spiral monitoring network with an interval of 1 m;

[0017] Step S2: collecting temperature data along the optical fiber in real time, performing constant temperature compensation and interference filtering;

[0018] Step S3: analyzing the temperature gradient by using an AI algorithm, and locating the leakage point when detecting DT >= 0.5 DEG C / m;

[0019] Step S4: triggering early warning and linkage emergency disposal.

[0020] The further improvement of the technical scheme of the present application is that in step S3, the LSTM neural network model is used to compare real-time temperature with historical baseline, and the leakage point coordinates are calculated in combination with the optical fiber length, with an error <= 1 m.

[0021] The further improvement of the technical scheme of the present application is that the leakage point coordinate calculation adopts a space mapping algorithm:

[0022] (x,y,z)=f(L,R,θ)

[0023] Wherein, L represents the optical fiber length measurement value, R represents the chamber cross section radius, and 55°≤θ≤65°.

[0024] Further improvement of the technical scheme of the present application is that in step S4, the emergency treatment includes local sound-light alarm, closing the corresponding partition valve, starting the explosion-proof ventilation system and sending the positioning information to the maintenance terminal.

[0025] Due to the adoption of the above technical scheme, the present application has achieved the following technical progress:

[0026] The underground artificial chamber gas storage seal layer leakage monitoring device and method can realize rapid and accurate positioning of the seal layer leakage point, improve the monitoring efficiency and safety by optimizing the sensor network arrangement and intelligent data processing.

[0027] The present application adopts a distributed optical fiber sensor to monitor the temperature gradient change along the way, convert the optical signal into an electrical signal and transmit it to the processing unit. AI algorithm analyzes the temperature data in real time, compares the historical baseline and preset threshold, identifies the leakage characteristics and locates the specific position, and finally triggers the emergency response through the early warning and linkage module to realize the whole process automation of "monitoring, analysis, positioning and disposal".
