Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of storage tank inspection technology, specifically relating to a smart inspection method and system for storage tanks based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Background Technology

[0002] As a critical infrastructure in the fields of petrochemicals and energy reserves, the safe and stable operation of storage tanks is of paramount importance. Traditional methods of storage tank inspection and risk management mainly rely on manual periodic inspections, offline inspections, and management systems based on static information. These methods have many limitations, including low inspection efficiency and difficulty in detecting sudden defects or risks in real time. With the development of IoT, digital twins, and artificial intelligence technologies, storage tank inspection is gradually evolving towards intelligence, real-time monitoring, and visualization.

[0003] However, traditional intelligent detection methods for storage tanks fail to dynamically and quantitatively integrate real-time operating status, long-term service performance, and environmental factors, resulting in delayed or inaccurate risk warnings. This makes it difficult to achieve a precise transition from planned maintenance to predictive maintenance, which in turn prevents the system from identifying slowly accumulating potential risks in the early stages and from providing sufficient early warning for high-risk, aging storage tanks. Consequently, it is difficult to support true predictive maintenance and asset integrity management decisions.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application presents a method and system for intelligent detection of storage tanks based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Summary of the Invention

First, a high-fidelity three-dimensional digital twin model is constructed to achieve multi-source data fusion. Second, the dynamic risk index and benchmark risk index of the storage tank are evaluated and calculated based on the multi-source fused data. Next, the comprehensive risk value of the storage tank is calculated based on the evaluation results of the dynamic risk index and the benchmark risk index. Then, the risk level of the storage tank is determined based on the calculation result of the comprehensive risk value. Finally, an early warning is issued based on the risk level determination result, and maintenance strategies are simultaneously output to solve the problems in the background section.

[0072] S2. Dynamic risk index of storage tanks based on real-time sensor data Conduct an assessment;

[0073] S3. Benchmark risk index for storage tanks based on static attribute data and historical archive data. Conduct an assessment;

[0074] S4, Based on dynamic risk index The assessment results and the benchmark risk index The assessment results affect the overall risk value of the storage tank. Perform calculations;

[0075] The dynamic risk index The assessment results and the benchmark risk index The assessment results affect the overall risk value of the storage tank. The calculation includes the following specific steps:

[0076] S41, Reliability Factor for Real-Time Sensor Data Based on Data Quality Assessment Credibility factor The calculation formula is:

[0077]

[0078] in, The number of effective detection points, This represents the total number of testing sites. This is the actual delay time. Maximum allowable delay time;

[0079] S42. Obtain Dynamic Risk Index The assessment results and the benchmark risk index The assessment results affect the overall risk value of the storage tank. Calculate the overall risk value. The calculation formula is:

[0080]

[0081] in, As a reliability factor for real-time sensing data, when the reliability of real-time sensing data is high, the overall risk value depends more on dynamic risk; when the reliability of real-time sensing data is low, the overall risk value depends more on baseline risk.

[0082] S5. Based on the comprehensive risk value The calculation results are used to determine the risk level of the storage tank;

Second, based on multi-source fusion data, the dynamic risk index and the benchmark risk index of the storage tank are evaluated and calculated separately. Then, based on the evaluation results of the dynamic risk index and the benchmark risk index, the comprehensive risk value of the storage tank is calculated. Then, based on the calculation result of the comprehensive risk value, the risk level of the storage tank is determined. Finally, based on the risk level determination result, an early warning is issued, and maintenance strategies are output simultaneously.

[0085] It should be noted that: by introducing a credibility factor According to the credibility factor The value can dynamically adjust the weight of the dynamic risk index and the benchmark risk index. When the collected real-time sensor data is reliable, the risk judgment relies more on the current dynamic risk. When the real-time sensor data is delayed or lost, the system can automatically switch to relying on the more stable benchmark risk, which can significantly improve the robustness and reliability of the risk assessment system and avoid misjudgments caused by data quality problems.

[0107] It should be noted that: when hour When the value is in the interval [0,1], It was believed at the time that the extreme risk had been reached. This standardizes all risk values ​​to the same scale, making comparisons and threshold settings easier. It also limits the upper limit of risk values ​​to a maximum of 1, thus avoiding the impact of extreme values.
