Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of methane emission inversion in open-pit coal mines, and in particular to a method for estimating methane emissions from open-pit coal mines based on UAV monitoring data. Background Technology
[0002] Carbon emissions from coal mining enterprises mainly come from methane and carbon dioxide. Methane has contributed 84 times more to the greenhouse effect than carbon dioxide over the past two decades, highlighting the critical importance of methane monitoring in my country's coal mining industry. Methane, with its relatively small mass, easily escapes over mining areas. Accurately identifying and quantifying methane emission sources is crucial for environmental regulation and climate change research. Traditional ground-based observation stations and satellite remote sensing have limitations in spatial coverage and resolution. However, drones equipped with methane sensors can detect methane concentrations at low altitudes with high resolution, providing a new means for tracing the sources of air pollution. However, current technologies, whether relying on ground-based observation stations to monitor and collect methane concentrations at specific locations or using satellite remote sensing data to obtain airborne methane concentrations in open-pit mines, cannot identify the methane emission sources and intensity in open-pit mines, making quantitative prediction of emissions impossible. Therefore, researching a method for identifying emission sources in mining areas to effectively derive emission intensity is extremely important for understanding methane emission characteristics and tracing the sources of air pollution. Summary of the Invention

This method collects methane concentration monitoring data and meteorological data containing location information over the study mining area. A reverse Lagrange random diffusion model releases virtual particles using the methane concentration monitoring data as observation points and uses meteorological data to randomly simulate the reverse motion trajectory of the particles within the study mining area. This simulation obtains the footprint sensitivity of the study mining area grid or pixel corresponding to observation point j. It achieves the reverse tracking of methane concentration at locations above the study mining area to the ground surface of the study mining area and inverts the total emission rate of methane emissions from the study mining area. It can calculate the daily, monthly, and annual emissions of the study mining area.

[0016] In the coordinate system, based on the generalized Langevin equation, the expression of the particle velocity evolution trajectory is as follows:
[0017]

[0046]
[0047] where the summation is over all ground impacts within the source region; the concentration calculation thus uses a backward Lagrangian model that releases particles uniformly from the monitoring domain and sums the reciprocals of all ground impacts within the source region;
[0048] Let be the sensitivity of the monitoring point to any grid cell of the source region, which is the footprint function, then the total sensitivity of the monitoring point to all grid cells of the source region is:

The UAV 1 flies at a height h above the methane emission source 8 (the emission source inside the study area, or the working surface of the open-pit coal mine) to plan a flight plane covering the ground area of the study area, the flight path of the flight plane is planned, and the meteorological data contains temperature, humidity, air pressure and wind speed and direction information. As shown in Figure 3 , preferably, the height h is 50-80 meters above the methane emission source 8 (i.e. the working surface of the open-pit coal mine), and the flight plane is expanded at least 100 meters (specifically determined according to the situation of the study area) from the methane emission source 8 (or the working surface of the open-pit coal mine), and the planned flight area is larger than the methane emission source 8 or the working surface of the open-pit coal mine, i.e. the planned flight area is located in the peripheral area vertically above the methane emission source 8, which facilitates the reverse Lagrangian random diffusion model to simulate the reverse motion trajectory of the particles in the study area. Referring to Figure 3 , the example of the present embodiment constructs a flight path of the UAV 1 in the area above the methane emission source 8 or the working surface of the open-pit coal mine expanded by 100 meters, and the example of the flight path is Figure 3The rectangular route shown, with the starting and ending points being the northeast corners of the rectangle, requires that the compass 3, the wind vane 7, the planned route 5, and the methane emission source 8 be aligned with the four cardinal directions, north, south, east, and west, regardless of the wind direction Figure 3 The example shows that the route direction is aligned with the four cardinal directions (so as to facilitate the determination of the wind direction affected route, for example, if the wind direction is southwest, then the wind direction affected route is 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 UAV in the range of the east route and the north route will receive methane concentration monitoring data, the south route and the west route are in the upwind area, and the methane sensor 3 of the UAV 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 affected route is considered), and the flight height is 50 meters relative to the working face.

If the route is affected by the wind direction, for example, if the wind direction is north (blowing from the north), then the south route is affected by the wind direction. In 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 determination of the route affected by the wind direction, for example, if the wind direction is southwest, the routes affected by the wind direction are the east route and the north route, and in the reverse trajectory simulation of the inverse Lagrangian stochastic dispersion 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 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 routes related to the wind direction are considered.

[0085] ;
[0086] Wherein And are functions of , and is a random increment selected from a Gaussian distribution with a mean of 0 and a variance of , when ≠ , and are independent of each other; 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 range (for the case of continuous emission source).
[0087] One of the essential constraints of the Langevin equation coefficient is that the Euler velocity probability density function Must satisfy the Fokker-Planck equation (FPE) corresponding to formula (1):

[0102] in express ; in is Gaussian and is independent of the particular solution:
[0103] ;
[0104] Here is the instantaneous velocity of the particle, 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 obtain the following equation:
[0105] ;
[0106] where is the Eulerian vertical velocity variance, while is the Lagrangian decorrelation timescale of ;
[0107] The inverse Lagrangian stochastic dispersion model is constructed by combining equations (2), (4), and (5).
[0108] S3, calculating the average methane concentration from the methane concentration monitoring data according to the local flight path k planned by the unmanned aerial vehicle, and subtracting the set background concentration to obtain a concentration difference , and the total sensitivity of all observation points on the local flight path k is summarized to obtain , then the average emission rate of the study mine area to the local flight path k is , is the time interval of the methane concentration frequency collected by the methane sensor, and the average emission rate of the relevant local flight path affected by the wind direction is obtained and averaged . In some embodiments, the unmanned aerial vehicle plans a flight path over the study mine area and divides it into several local flight paths, and the average value 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 use the inverse Lagrangian stochastic dispersion model to judge the associated flight path corresponding to the particle landing event) The expression is as follows: , is the total number of relevant local flight paths affected by the wind direction. The wind direction affected judgment direction is as follows: the meteorological instrument 4 of the unmanned aerial vehicle monitors meteorological data, which includes temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed, and wind direction information. The unmanned aerial vehicle judges whether the flight path is affected by the wind direction when it flies along the flight path. If the flight path is affected by the wind direction, such as north wind (blowing from the north), then the southward flight path is affected by the wind direction. In Figure 3In the route example of FIG. 1, the route directions are aligned with the four cardinal directions (east, west, north, and south) (so as to facilitate route determination in the presence of wind direction, for example, if the wind direction is southwest, then the routes affected by the wind direction are the east route and the north route, and in the reverse Lagrangian stochastic dispersion model, the methane sensor 3 of the UAV in the east route and the north route will receive methane concentration monitoring data, and the south route and the west route are upwind routes, and the methane sensor 3 of the UAV in the south route and the west route will receive very little methane concentration monitoring data, which is not considered in this embodiment, and only the routes affected by the wind direction are considered.

It impacts the ground within the source boundary and travels upwards and downwards within one time step. At that time, its response to The amount of contribution is The concentration at this point can be expressed as:
[0126] ;
[0127] The summation applies to all ground-landing events within the source region (simulated using a backward Lagrange stochastic diffusion model, where the flight paths of the ground-landing event particles are those influenced by wind direction); therefore, the concentration calculation uses a backward Lagrange model within the monitoring domain. The particles are uniformly released within the source region, and all landing events within the source region are monitored. Sum of reciprocals;

As an inversion emission rate The foundation; generalizing the footprint function: The simulation is based on the distribution of equally spaced data along the monitoring path. The average point concentration; and from each of these points, calculate a set of backward trajectories, averaging the point footprint function, to obtain the total sensitivity of the monitoring route to all grid cells in the source region. :
[0132] ;
[0133] It is the total number of particles released from each measuring point, and the internal summation only includes landing events within the source;
[0134] At this point, formula (10) is generalized, and the emission rate is... (i.e., total emission rate) )have:

In some embodiments, the total emission rate This represents the total emissions per unit time (second) in the research mining area, and the total emission rate. The unit is μg / s, using the total emission rate. The monthly and annual emissions for the study area were calculated separately. In this embodiment, the methane sensor 3 on the UAV monitored at a frequency of 1 second. The expression for monthly emissions (tons / month) is as follows:

The UAV detection and acquisition system comprises a UAV equipped with a methane sensor and a meteorological instrument. The UAV is equipped with a GPS positioning system and / or a BeiDou positioning system for location information. The UAV plans its flight over the study mining area. The methane sensor collects methane concentration monitoring data, and the meteorological instrument collects meteorological data. The UAV detection and acquisition system communicates and transmits the methane concentration monitoring data containing location information and the meteorological data to the reverse Lagrange random diffusion model. The reverse Lagrange random diffusion model constructs a gridded study mining area with location information. The methane concentration monitoring data containing location information is extracted as observation points. The reverse Lagrange random diffusion model releases Np virtual particles at the observation points and uses meteorological data to randomly simulate the inverse motion trajectory of the particles within the study mining area to obtain the grid of the study mining area. Footprint sensitivity corresponding to observation point j The total sensitivity of observation point j is obtained by accumulating the sensitivity of all grid footprints in the research mining area. The methane emission estimation module divides the planned flight path of the UAV into several local flight paths and calculates the average methane concentration of local flight path k.
