TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of open coal mine methane emission inversion, and particularly relates to an open coal mine methane emission inversion estimation method based on unmanned aerial vehicle monitoring data. BACKGROUND
[0002] The carbon emission of coal mine enterprises mainly comes from methane and carbon dioxide, and the greenhouse effect brought by methane in the past two decades is 84 times that of carbon dioxide, so methane monitoring is the most important in the carbon monitoring of coal mine enterprises in China. Methane itself has relatively small mass and is easy to escape to the upper part of the mine area, and accurate inversion and quantification of methane emission sources are crucial for environmental regulation and climate change research. Traditional ground observation stations and satellite remote sensing have certain limitations in spatial coverage and resolution, and unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with methane sensors can detect methane concentration at low altitude and high resolution, providing a new means for atmospheric pollution source tracing. However, the existing technology either collects methane concentration monitoring data of the location by ground observation stations or obtains the air methane concentration of the open mine area by satellite remote sensing data, and cannot obtain the methane emission source and emission intensity of the open mine area, so it is impossible to quantitatively predict the emission of the open mine area. It is necessary to study a mine area emission source inversion method to effectively invert the emission intensity, which plays an extremely important role in mastering the methane emission characteristics and atmospheric pollution source tracing. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is achieved by the following technical solutions:
[0005] An open coal mine methane emission inversion estimation method based on unmanned aerial vehicle monitoring data, the method comprising:
[0006] S1, using an unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with a methane sensor and a meteorological instrument to plan a flight above the study mine area and collect methane concentration monitoring data containing position information and meteorological data;
[0007] S2, the research mining area is divided into a grid, a reverse Lagrangian random diffusion model is constructed, methane concentration monitoring data containing position information is extracted as an observation point, the reverse Lagrangian random diffusion model releases Np virtual particles from the observation point and randomly simulates the reverse motion trajectory of the particles in the research mining area to simulate the grid (x i , y i ) and the footprint sensitivity f j (x i , y i ) corresponding to the observation point j of the research mining area, and the footprint sensitivity of all grids in the research mining area is accumulated to obtain the transfer coefficient F j of the observation point j;
[0008] S3, the average methane concentration is calculated from the methane concentration monitoring data according to the local flight path k planned by the unmanned aerial vehicle, and the background concentration is subtracted to obtain the concentration difference ΔC k , the transfer coefficients of all observation points of the local flight path k are summarized to obtain F k , and then the average emission rate of the research mining area to the local flight path k is Q k , Δt k is the time interval of the methane sensor collecting methane concentration, the average emission rate of the related local flight path affected by the wind direction is obtained, and the average value Q0 is obtained; the total emission rate Q of the research mining area is obtained according to the following formula: total Q total =Q0xA, A is the coverage area of the research mining area.
[0009] In order to better realize the present application, in the method S1, the unmanned aerial vehicle is provided with a GPS positioning system or / and a Beidou positioning system, the unmanned aerial vehicle flies at a height h above the research mining area to plan a flight plane covering the ground area of the research mining area, a flight path covering the flight plane is planned on the flight plane, and the meteorological data contains temperature, humidity, air pressure and wind speed and direction information.
[0010] Preferably, the virtual particles released by the observation point in the reverse Lagrangian random diffusion model are used for reverse motion trajectory simulation, and the reverse Lagrangian random diffusion model is constructed as follows:
[0011] The calculation basis of the particle random diffusion model is the generalized Langevin equation, which is based on the following assumptions: the particle position x and the velocity u evolve together as a Markov process:
[0012] du i =a i (x, u, t)dt + b i,j (x, u, t)dξ j ,
[0013] dx i =ui dt (1)
[0014] where a i and b i,j are functions of (x, u, t), and dξ j is a random increment drawn from a Gaussian distribution with mean 0 and variance dt, and dξ i is independent of dξ j when i≠j;
[0015] In the backward time frame of the inverse Lagrangian stochastic diffusion model, using the time coordinate t' = T0-t, where T0is an arbitrary shift constant, assuming T0= 0, the particle velocity according to O' is:
[0016]
[0017] In the (x, u', t') coordinate system, based on the generalized Langevin equation, the expression of the particle velocity evolution trajectory is as follows:
[0018] du' i = a' i (x, u', t') dt' + b i,j (x, u', t') dξ j ,
[0019] dx i = u' i dt' (5)
[0020] A fundamental constraint on the Langevin equation coefficients is that the Eulerian velocity probability density function g' a (x, u', t') must satisfy the Fokker-Planck equation corresponding to equation (1):
[0021]
[0022] In the (x, u, t) coordinate system, it is noted that g' a (x, -u', -t') = g a (x, u, t), u' = -u, and
[0023]
[0024] where a' i and B' i,j take values at (x, -u', -t') = (x, u, t); requiring a' i and B' i,j to satisfy this Fokker-Planck equation, a backward model with complete mixing is obtained;
[0025] where B i,j represents b i,k j,k / 2; in g' a is Gaussian and B i,j is independent of u:
[0026]
[0027] Here u i is the instantaneous velocity of the particle, U i is the mean velocity of the background flow; since the amplitude of the particle's random velocity variation is the same in both time frames, we get:
[0028]
[0029] where is the Eulerian vertical velocity variance, and τ i is the Lagrangian decorrelation time scale of w;
[0030] Equations (4), (5) and (7) constitute the inverse Lagrangian stochastic dispersion model.
[0031] Preferably, in the method S3, the total emission rate Q total is obtained as follows:
[0032] The ensemble-averaged methane concentration at position x and time t due to an arbitrary emission source S (kg m -3 s -1 ) is given by:
[0033]
[0034] where P f (x, t | x0, t0) is the transition probability density, defined as p f (x, t | x0, t0) dx is the probability of finding a particle initially at (x0, t0) in the monitoring domain dx centered at x at time t; the calculation of P f (x, t | x0, t0) is a function of the Lagrangian model;
[0035] The particle is released at (x, t) and collected at (x0, t0), giving the estimate of the backward-in-time conditional probability density P b (x0, t0 | x, t):
[0036] P b (x0, t0 | x, t) = P f (x, t | x0, t0)
[0037] P b is used in concentration calculations f ;
[0038] For a continuous emission source, whose emission rate is uniform over a plane, the concentration C v (x) can be determined by calculating the ensemble average "residence time" of particles released at x0: that is, the average "residence time" of the set of particles released at x0that are within the monitoring domain V sens centered at x
[0039]
[0040] The time spent by particles released from V sens in the source volume V src centered at x0
[0041]
[0042] where t' = -t; for a stationary atmosphere, T b and T f have:
[0043]
[0044] In practice, C v (x) will be calculated from a sample average of individual particle residence times, yielding a volume average concentration C v (x) expressed as:
[0045]
[0046] where N particles are released uniformly from the monitoring domain V sens , denotes the residence time of an individual particle;
[0047] For a planar source with emission rate Q, consider it as a thin volume source composed of an infinitesimal height dz above the ground, and having an equivalent volume emission rate S = Q / dz. Then the contribution to T b from a particle that impacts the ground within the source boundary at vertical ground speed w0and passes through dz both upwards and downwards in one time step is simply 2dz / |w0|; the concentration can then be expressed as:
[0048]
[0049] where the summation is over all ground impacts within the source region; thus the concentration calculation uses the backward Lagrangian model to release particles uniformly within the monitoring domain V sens and sums the w0reciprocals over all ground impacts within the source region;
[0050] The sensitivity of the monitoring point to an arbitrary grid cell (x i , y j ) of the source region is defined as a footprint function, f
[0051]
[0052] This parameter can be obtained from the previously constructed backward trajectory model given the atmospheric stability, friction velocity u * , surface roughness length z0, boundary layer height H, number of virtual particles N p , time step Δt, grid resolution of the source region Δx, Δy, etc., then the emission rate Q has:
[0053] Q = C v (x) x f i,j (x i , y j ) (14)
[0054] In the flight path monitoring by the unmanned aerial vehicle, the line average concentration C L of the flight path is taken as the basis for the inversion of the emission rate Q; the footprint function is generalized: C L is simulated as the average value of the concentrations of P points distributed at equal intervals along the monitoring path; and a group of backward trajectories is calculated from each of the points, and the total sensitivity F of the monitoring flight path to all grid cells of the source region is obtained by averaging the point footprint functions:
[0055]
[0056] N is the total number of particles released from each measurement point, and the inner summation only includes landing events within the source;
[0057] At this time, the generalization of formula (14) is performed, and the emission rate Q has:
[0058] Q = C v (x) x F, C v (x) = C L - C0 (15); wherein C0 is the background concentration value.
[0059] Preferably, the random differential equation expression of the virtual particles in the inverse Lagrangian stochastic diffusion model with respect to the inverse time t is as follows:
[0060] du′ i = a′ i (x, u′, t′) dt′ + b i,j (x, u′, t′) dξ j , wherein a′i and b i,j are functions of (x, u, t) and dξ j are random increments drawn from a Gaussian distribution with mean 0 and variance dt, and dξ i are independent of each other. j
[0061] Preferably, the footprints sensitivity f j (x i , y i ) in the footprints function simulated by the backward Lagrangian stochastic dispersion model is expressed as follows:
[0062] where N is the total number of particles released from each measurement point, and the inner summation only includes landing events within the source of the study mine area.
[0063] Preferably, the transfer coefficient F of the observation point j is expressed as follows:
[0064] where j is the label of the flight monitoring point, and P is the total number of monitoring points.
[0065] Preferably, the average value Q0 of the average emission rate of the relevant local flight line affected by the wind direction is expressed as follows: K is the total number of the relevant local flight lines affected by the wind direction.
[0066] Preferably, in the method S3, the total emission rate Q total represents the total emission of the study mine area per unit time, and the total emission rate Q total is in units of μg / s, and the total emission rate Q totol is used to calculate the monthly emission and the annual emission of the study area, respectively.

[0077] The present application will be further described in detail in combination with the embodiments:
[0078] Embodiment
[0079] As shown in the figure, an open coal mine methane emission inversion estimation method based on unmanned aerial vehicle monitoring data, the method comprises: Figure 1
[0080] S1, using the unmanned aerial vehicle 1 equipped with a methane sensor 3 and a meteorological instrument 4 to plan flight over the study area and collect methane concentration monitoring data and meteorological data containing position information. In some embodiments, the unmanned aerial vehicle is equipped with a GPS positioning system or / and a Beidou positioning system (to obtain the latitude and longitude information of the device), as shown in Figure 2 The unmanned aerial vehicle 1 is equipped with a methane gas extraction module 2, a methane sensor 3 (or methane gas analyzer), and a meteorological instrument 4 (or meteorological module). The unmanned aerial vehicle 1 is a DJI Weiyu 350RTK model with a maximum take-off weight of 9 kg and a maximum wind speed of 12 m / s, and is equipped with a fixed frame that can carry a methane sensor and a meteorological instrument. The methane gas extraction module of the methane gas extraction module 2 is integrated with the methane sensor 3 and realizes air extraction and detection of methane concentration in the air. It uses tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy technology with a range of 0-10000 ppm, a resolution of 1 ppm, a detection limit of 1 ppm, a response time of 1 s, and is connected to the meteorological instrument and the unmanned aerial vehicle device through a power line data transmission line. The unmanned aerial vehicle 1 flies at a height h above the methane emission source 8 (emission source inside the study area, or open coal mine working surface) to plan a flight plane covering the ground area of the study area. The flight plane covers the flight route, and the meteorological data includes temperature, humidity, air pressure, and wind speed and direction information. As shown in Figure 3 The flight height h is preferably 50-80 meters above the methane emission source 8 (i.e. open coal mine working surface), and the flight plane is preferably at least 100 meters outwardly expanded from the methane emission source 8 (or open coal mine working surface) (the specific distance depends on the situation of the study area), and the planned flight area is larger than the methane emission source 8 or open coal mine working surface, i.e. the planned flight area is located in the peripheral area vertically above the methane emission source 8, which facilitates the inverse motion trajectory simulation of the inverse Lagrangian random diffusion model in the study area. Referring to Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the embodiment example constructs a flight route for the unmanned aerial vehicle 1 in the area vertically above the methane emission source 8 or open coal mine working surface expanded outwardly by 100 meters, and the example flight route is a rectangular flight route as shown in Figure 3 The starting and ending points are the northeast corner of the rectangle, and regardless of the wind direction, the compass 3, wind vane 7, planned flight route 5, and methane emission source 8 are required to follow Figure 3The example shows that the flight path is aligned with the four cardinal directions (east, west, south, and north). This facilitates the determination of flight paths affected by wind direction. For example, if the wind is from the southwest, the affected flight paths are east and north. In the reverse motion trajectory simulation of the inverse Lagrange random diffusion model, the methane sensor 3 of the UAV within the east and north flight paths will receive methane concentration monitoring data. The south and west flight paths are in the upwind area, and the methane sensor 3 of the UAV within the south and west flight paths receives very little methane concentration monitoring data, so it is not considered in this embodiment. Only the flight paths affected by wind direction are considered. The flight altitude is 50 meters relative to the working surface in the example. The UAV conducts the experiment according to the planned flight path. During the execution, the methane sensor 3 extracts the surrounding air every 1 second to monitor the methane content (ppm); the meteorological instrument 4 obtains the current temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed, and wind direction data; the GPS synchronously obtains the current latitude and longitude information; the UAV 1 is also equipped with a 4G module, which transmits data in real time.
[0081] S2. Divide the study mining area into grids, construct a reverse Lagrange random diffusion model, extract methane concentration monitoring data containing location information as observation points, release Np virtual particles from the observation points using the reverse Lagrange random diffusion model, and use meteorological data to randomly simulate the reverse motion trajectory of the particles within the study mining area to obtain the grid (x) of the study mining area. i y i The footprint sensitivity f corresponding to observation point j j (x i y i The transfer coefficient F of observation point j is obtained by accumulating the sensitivity of all grid footprints in the research mining area. j .
[0082] In some embodiments, the footprint sensitivity f in the footprint function simulated by the inverse Lagrange random diffusion model j (x i y i The expression is as follows:
[0083] Where N is the total number of particles released from each measuring point, and the internal summation only includes particles corresponding to landing events or wind-affected flight paths within the research mining area. The wind direction influence determination is as follows: The weather instrument 4 of UAV 1 monitors meteorological data, including temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed, and wind direction information. As the UAV flies along the flight path, it obtains wind direction information and determines whether it affects the flight path. If the flight path is affected by wind direction, for example, if the wind is northerly (blowing from the north), then the southbound flight path is affected by the wind direction. Figure 3In the route example, the route direction is aligned with the four directions of east, west, north and south (so as to facilitate the route judgment affected by the wind direction, such as the wind direction is southwest, then the route affected by the wind direction is the east route and the north route, in the reverse trajectory simulation of the inverse Lagrangian random diffusion model, the methane sensor 3 of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the east route and the north route range will receive the methane concentration monitoring data, the south route and the west route are in the upwind area, the methane sensor 3 in the range of the south route and the west route receives little methane concentration monitoring data, which is not considered in this embodiment, and only the wind direction related route is considered.
[0084] In some embodiments, the transfer coefficient F of the observation point j is expressed as follows:
[0085] Where j is the route monitoring point mark, and P is the total number of monitoring points.
[0086] In some embodiments, the virtual particles released by the observation points in the inverse Lagrangian random diffusion model are used to simulate the reverse trajectory, and the inverse Lagrangian random diffusion model is constructed as follows:
[0087] The calculation basis of the particle random diffusion model is the generalized Langevin equation, which is based on the following assumptions: the particle position x and the velocity u evolve together as a Markov process:
[0088] du i =a i (x,u,t)dt+b i,j (x,u,t)dξ j ,
[0089] dx i =u i dt (1)
[0090] Where a i and b i,j are functions of (x, u, t), and dξ j is a random increment selected from a Gaussian distribution with mean 0 and variance dt, and when i≠j, dξ i is independent of dξ j ; this embodiment discretizes formula (1) and uses it to calculate a large number of particle trajectories emitted from the emission source, and then determines the volume average concentration according to the residence time of the particles in the monitoring point V sens (range for a continuous emission source).
[0091] One of the essential constraints of the Langevin equation coefficient is the Euler velocity probability density function g a(x, u, t) must satisfy the Fokker-Planck equation (FPE) corresponding to equation (1):
[0092]
[0093] where B i,j represents b i,k (x, u, t) = -B j,k / 2; in g a (x, u, t) = -B i,j (x, u, t) = -B
[0094]
[0095] u i is the instantaneous velocity of a particle, U i is the mean velocity of the background flow
[0096]
[0097] In the backward time frame of the inverse Lagrangian stochastic diffusion model, the time coordinate t' = T0- t is used, where T0is an arbitrary shift constant. Assuming T0= 0, the particle velocity in terms of O' is:
[0098]
[0099] In the (x, u', t') coordinate system, the expression of the particle velocity evolution trajectory is given based on the generalized Langevin equation as follows:
[0100] du' i = a' i (x, u', t') dt' + b i,j (x, u', t') dξ j ,
[0101] dx i = u' i dt' (5)
[0102] A fundamental constraint on the Langevin equation coefficients is that the Eulerian velocity probability density function g' a (x, u', t') must satisfy the Fokker-Planck equation corresponding to equation (1):
[0103]
[0104] In the (x, u, t) coordinate system, it is noted that g' a (x, -u', -t') = g a (x, u, t), u' = -u, and
[0105]
[0106] where a′ i and B′ i,j take values at (x, -u′, -t′) = (x, u, t); require a′ i and B′ i,j satisfy this Fokker-Planck equation, a backward model of sufficient mixing is obtained;
[0107] where B i,j denotes b i,k b j,k / 2; the special solution under the condition that g′ a is Gaussian distribution and B i,j is independent of u is:
[0108]
[0109] Here u i is the instantaneous velocity of the particle, U t is the mean velocity of the background flow; since the amplitude of the random velocity variation of the particle is the same under the two time scales, the following formula is obtained:
[0110]
[0111] where is the Eulerian vertical velocity variance, and τ l is the Lagrangian decorrelation time scale of w;
[0112] The inverse Lagrangian stochastic dispersion model is constituted by the joint of formulas (4), (5) and (7).
[0113] S3, calculating the average methane concentration from the methane concentration monitoring data of the local flight path k planned by the unmanned aerial vehicle, and subtracting the set background concentration to obtain a concentration difference ΔC k , collecting the transfer coefficients of all observation points of the local flight path k to obtain F k , and then the average emission rate of the study mine area to the local flight path k is Q k , Δt k is the time interval of the methane sensor collecting the methane concentration frequency, the average emission rate of the relevant local flight path affected by the wind direction is obtained, and the average value Q0 is obtained. In some embodiments, the unmanned aerial vehicle plans a flight path over the study mine area to obtain a plurality of local flight paths, the average value Q0 of the average emission rate of the relevant local flight path affected by the wind direction (the wind direction affected can use the wind direction affected judgment method, or can use the inverse Lagrangian stochastic dispersion model to judge the associated flight path corresponding to the particle landing event) is expressed as follows: K is the total number of local routes affected by wind direction. The judgment of whether the route is affected by the wind direction is as follows: the meteorological instrument 4 of the unmanned aerial vehicle monitors meteorological data, which contains temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed and wind direction information. When the unmanned aerial vehicle flies along the route, the wind direction information is obtained to judge whether the route is affected. If the route is affected by the wind direction, for example, the wind direction is north wind (blowing from the north), then the south route is affected by the wind direction. In Figure 3 In the route example, the route direction is aligned with the four directions of east, west, south and north (so as to facilitate the judgment of the route affected by the wind direction, for example, the wind direction is southwest wind, and the routes affected by the wind direction are the east route and the north route. In the reverse motion trajectory simulation of the inverse Lagrangian stochastic diffusion model, the methane sensor 3 of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the east route and the north route range will receive the methane concentration monitoring data. The south route and the west route are in the upwind area, and the methane sensor 3 of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the south route and the west route range receives little methane concentration monitoring data. In this embodiment, only the routes affected by the wind direction are considered.
[0114] In some embodiments, in method S3, the total emission rate Q total The method is as follows:
[0115] Since any emission source S (kg m -3 s -1 The ensemble average methane concentration expression at the x position and time t is as follows:
[0116]
[0117] Where P f (x,t|x0,t0) is the transition probability density, defined as P f (x,t|x0,t0)dx is the probability of finding a particle initially at (x0,t0) in the monitoring domain dx centered at x at time t; P f (x,t|x0,t0) is a function of the Lagrangian model;
[0118] The particle is released at (x,t) and collected at (x0,t0), which gives the estimate of the backward-in-time conditional probability density P b (x0,t0|x,t);
[0119] P b (x0,t0|x,t) = P f (x,t|x0,t0)
[0120] P b is used to replace P f in concentration calculation;
[0121] For a continuous emission source, its emission rate is uniform in the plane, and the concentration Cv (x) can be determined by calculating the ensemble average "residence time" of particles released at xo: i.e. the average "residence time" of the ensemble of particles released at xo that end up in the monitoring domain V centered at x sens
[0122]
[0123] from V sens released at xo that end up in the source volume V centered at xo src
[0124]
[0125] where t' = -t; for a stationary atmosphere, T b and T f have:
[0126]
[0127] In practice, C v (x) is calculated from the sample average of individual particle residence times, C v (x) is expressed as:
[0128]
[0129] where N particles are released uniformly from the monitoring domain V sens represents the residence time of an individual particle;
[0130] For a source with emission rate Q, consider it as a thin volume source consisting of an infinitesimal height dz above the ground, with equivalent volume emission rate S = Q / dz.
