Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of gas pipeline safety monitoring technology, specifically a method for accurately locating gas pipeline leak points based on a multi-source signal attenuation model. Background Technology
[0002] As a core infrastructure for urban energy transmission, gas pipeline networks are highly susceptible to serious consequences such as explosions, poisoning, and environmental pollution from leaks. Therefore, rapid and accurate leak location is a crucial technical aspect for ensuring pipeline safety. Currently, existing leak location technologies are mainly divided into two categories: single-signal location technology and multi-source signal fusion location technology. However, both have insurmountable technical shortcomings, failing to meet the practical operational and maintenance requirements for location accuracy (≤5 meters) and adaptability to various operating conditions. Specific shortcomings are as follows: 1) Limitations of single-signal location technology: ① Pressure wave location technology calculates the leak point solely based on the time difference of pressure wave propagation, and its attenuation model only considers the linear relationship between "distance and amplitude" (as shown in the formula). p att ∝1 / L No gas viscosity was introduced. m ,density r Operating parameters – when the pipeline transports different types of gas (such as natural gas) r =0.75kg / m 3 liquefied petroleum gas r =2.5kg / m 3 When viscosity differences occur, the pressure wave attenuation rate can deviate by more than 30%, resulting in a final positioning error generally greater than 50 meters, and the inability to identify leaks less than 0.3 m³. 3 ① A minute leakage of / h. ② Acoustic wave localization technology uses a fixed frequency band (200-1000Hz) to collect leakage sound waves, without designing an adaptive noise reduction strategy for environmental noise (such as traffic noise with a main frequency of 500-800Hz, and industrial equipment noise with a main frequency of 1000-1500Hz), resulting in a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) that is often <10dB and a localization error >40 meters; moreover, its attenuation model is not related to the main frequency of the sound wave. f When changes in leakage cause the dominant frequency of the sound wave to rise from 500Hz to 2000Hz, the attenuation coefficient calculation deviation reaches twice the normal value, further amplifying the error. ③ Fiber optic vibration positioning technology relies on the "vibration event-distance" mapping relationship of distributed optical fibers, but its attenuation model does not consider the gas pipe diameter. D The impact is that when the pipe diameter increases from 0.2m to 0.6m, the difference in pipe damping leads to a 50% increase in the vibration signal attenuation rate. Moreover, this technology is costly (the cost of laying fiber per kilometer is more than 20,000 yuan), making it difficult to promote on a large scale. It is only used for local monitoring of high-pressure pipelines.
[0003] 2) Core defects of multi-source signal fusion positioning technology: Existing multi-source signal fusion technology only uses "fixed weight weighted average" (such as pressure wave weight 0.4, sound wave weight 0.3, fiber vibration weight 0.3) to splice the amplitudes of multi-source signals, without constructing a unified attenuation model: ① It ignores the differences in attenuation mechanisms of different signals (pressure waves are affected by fluid viscosity, sound waves are affected by air absorption, and fiber vibration is affected by pipe diameter damping), resulting in a large deviation between the fused signal and the actual leakage characteristics; ② Fixed weights cannot adapt to dynamic working conditions (such as fiber vibration signals are more reliable when the leakage is small, and pressure wave signals are more stable when the leakage is large), the anti-interference ability is weak, the actual positioning error is still >30 meters, and it cannot cover the scenario of "small leakage + complex working conditions".
[0004] In summary, the core pain point of existing technologies lies in the lack of a unified attenuation model that can correlate with pipeline operating parameters (viscosity, pipe diameter, gas type), adapt to multi-source signal attenuation mechanisms, and dynamically adjust signal weights. This results in low positioning accuracy, poor adaptability to operating conditions, and insufficient ability to identify minute leaks. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a leak point location method that can comprehensively utilize multi-source signals, possess strong anti-interference capabilities, and achieve high positioning accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Preferably, in step S2, the pressure wave signal denoising adopts the wavelet thresholding method, specifically including determining the number of wavelet decomposition layers based on the sampling frequency and reconstructing the signal based on soft thresholding; the acoustic wave signal denoising adopts the adaptive noise cancellation method, specifically including arranging auxiliary microphones to collect reference noise and using an adaptive filtering algorithm to cancel noise; the fiber optic vibration signal denoising adopts the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method, specifically including obtaining the intrinsic mode function (IMF) through decomposition and reconstructing the signal after removing noisy IMFs based on the signal-to-noise ratio.
[0010] Preferably, in step S3.1, the pressure wave attenuation sub-model is: the amplitude of the pressure wave after attenuation. Pressure wave attenuation coefficient α p =0.02·( m / r ) -0.5 Initial pressure wave amplitude at the leak point ; The sound wave attenuation sub-model is: the amplitude of the sound wave after attenuation.

[0015] Preferably, in step S5, the attenuation coefficient is adjusted according to the following formula: .
[0016] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art are: 1. Significantly Improved Positioning Accuracy: This application significantly improves the accuracy of attenuation calculation by constructing a multi-source unified attenuation model that integrates pressure wave, acoustic wave, and fiber optic vibration signals, and by correlating key operating parameters such as gas viscosity, density, pipe diameter, and acoustic wave frequency. Combined with a dynamic weighting strategy and gradient descent optimization algorithm, it achieves centimeter-level to meter-level high-precision positioning of leak point coordinates (error ≤ 5 meters), far superior to the positioning errors of existing single-signal or fixed-weight fusion technologies (typically > 30 meters).
[0017] 2. Capable of identifying minute leaks: This application adopts an information entropy dynamic weight allocation mechanism, which can prioritize the trust of optical fiber vibration signals when the leakage is small and the trust of pressure wave signals when the leakage is large. This effectively identifies minute leaks with a leakage of less than 0.1 m3 / h, solves the problem that the existing technology cannot identify leaks below 0.3 m3 / h, realizes "early detection and early handling", and greatly improves the safety of pipeline network.
[0018] 3. Strong anti-interference and high adaptability to various operating conditions: This application effectively suppresses interference from environmental noise, fluid pulsation, and inherent pipeline vibration through targeted signal preprocessing (such as wavelet threshold denoising, adaptive noise cancellation, and EMD decomposition) and dynamic weight adjustment of information entropy. It maintains high positioning accuracy even under complex operating conditions (such as traffic noise, industrial equipment noise, and different gas types). Experiments show that in a strong noise environment with an SNR of 10dB, the positioning error of this method can still be controlled within 5 meters, while the error of existing technologies can reach over 45 meters.
[0019] 4. Adaptive Attenuation Model and Closed-Loop Correction Mechanism: This application is the first to model the attenuation mechanism of multi-source signals (viscosity, air absorption, pipe wall damping) in a unified manner and introduce an error feedback mechanism. The attenuation coefficient is dynamically corrected through the actual positioning error to ensure that high-precision positioning can be maintained under different pipeline pressure levels, gas types (such as natural gas and liquefied gas), and pipe diameter changes, thus overcoming the model failure problem caused by changes in operating conditions in the prior art.
[0020] 5. Flexible deployment and low operation and maintenance costs: The monitoring nodes in this application are arranged according to the triangular coverage principle, and the spacing can be dynamically adjusted according to the pipeline pressure level and burial depth, taking into account both coverage and accuracy requirements; it supports a unified architecture for medium and low pressure and high pressure pipelines, eliminating the need to replace hardware due to changes in operating conditions, and the operation and maintenance cost per kilometer of pipeline is reduced by about 20% compared with existing technologies, making it of good engineering promotion value.

[0024] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] Combination Figure 1 The present invention provides a method for accurately locating gas pipeline leaks based on a multi-source signal attenuation model, comprising the following steps: S1. Synchronous acquisition of multi-source signals (ensuring data consistency) The gas pipeline network is laid out according to the triangular coverage principle. n monitoring nodes ( n ≥3), where: The triangular coverage principle is defined as follows: each monitoring area consists of 3 monitoring nodes forming an equilateral or isosceles triangle. The radius of the circumcircle of the triangle must meet the requirements of "medium and low pressure pipelines ≤ 100 meters, high pressure pipelines ≤ 250 meters", and the overlap rate of adjacent triangles must be ≥ 30% (to ensure no monitoring blind spots). Node spacing rules: The spacing for medium and low pressure pipelines is 50~200 meters, and for high pressure pipelines it is 100~500 meters. The specific spacing is dynamically adjusted according to the burial depth of the pipeline (the spacing is reduced by 10% for every 0.5 meters increase in burial depth). Acquisition module configuration: Each node integrates three types of acquisition modules: a pressure wave acquisition module using a piezoelectric pressure sensor (range 0~4.0MPa, accuracy 0.1% FS, sampling frequency 1kHz); an acoustic wave acquisition module using a microphone array (frequency band 500~2000Hz, sensitivity -38dBV / Pa, sampling frequency 2kHz); and an optical fiber vibration acquisition module using a distributed optical fiber sensing system (spatial resolution 0.1m, vibration resolution 10). -9 g, sampling frequency 500Hz); Time synchronization: Signal synchronization is achieved through GPS time synchronization or Ethernet clock synchronization, with a time synchronization accuracy of ≤1ms.
[0026] S2. Targeted preprocessing of multi-source signals (reducing noise interference) Differentiated denoising algorithms are employed to address the noise characteristics of three types of signals (pressure waves containing fluid pulsation noise, sound waves containing environmental noise, and fiber optic vibration containing inherent pipeline vibration noise) to obtain the denoised effective signals. p i ( t ), s i ( t ), v i ( t The specific algorithm and parameters are as follows: S2.1 Denoising of pressure wave signals (wavelet thresholding method) The fluid pulsation noise (dominant frequency 10~50Hz) and leakage pressure wave (dominant frequency 100~500Hz) have low frequency overlap. A layered decomposition is performed using the db4 wavelet basis (verified in this field: the db4 wavelet improves the signal-to-noise ratio of step-type pressure signals by ≥15% compared to the db2 and db6 wavelet bases). The specific steps are as follows: 1) Wavelet transform: for the original pressure wave signal p i0 ( t Perform wavelet decomposition, with the number of decomposition layers determined by the sampling frequency (3 layers at 1kHz, 4 layers at 2kHz, and 2 layers at 500Hz; if the overlap between fluid pulsation noise and the pressure wave main frequency is >30%, increase the number of layers by 1), to obtain one approximate coefficient (containing the pressure wave main signal) and the high-frequency coefficients (containing noise) of the corresponding number of layers. 2) Threshold calculation: Noise standard deviation s p Estimated from the outermost high-frequency coefficient ( s p = median(| c mk |) / 0.6745, c mk for m The first layer of high frequency coefficient k (values); soft threshold ( N This refers to the number of sampling points, such as when the sampling frequency is 1kHz and the sampling duration is 2s. N =2000); 3) Signal reconstruction: Soft thresholding is performed on high-frequency coefficients. T ( x , l )=sign( x )⋅ max(| x |- l The denoised signal is then reconstructed using inverse wavelet transform. p i ( t )= W -1 [ T ( W ( p i0 ( t )), l p )],in W For wavelet transform operators, W -1 It is the inverse wavelet transform operator.
[0027] S2.2 Acoustic signal denoising (adaptive noise cancellation) The frequency bands of environmental noise (such as traffic noise and industrial noise) and leakage sound waves overlap significantly (500-1500Hz). A "reference noise + adaptive filtering" strategy is adopted, with the specific steps as follows: 1) Reference noise acquisition: An auxiliary microphone is placed next to the monitoring node (the distance between the auxiliary microphone and the leakage sound wave acquisition microphone is ≤1 meter to ensure noise consistency) to collect ambient noise. n i ( t ); 2) Adaptive filter coefficient update: The filter coefficients are calculated using the recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm. β i ,in: R nn Reference noise n i ( t The autocorrelation matrix (dimension) of ) M ×M , M (This refers to the filter order, which can be between 8 and 16). ( E (for mathematical expectation) R ns Reference noise and original acoustic signal s i0 ( t The cross-correlation vector (dimension) M ×1), ; Extended steps k Take a value of 1~10 (when traffic noise is dominant). k =5~8, when industrial noise is dominant k =3~5); Forgetting factor: Forgetting factor in RLS algorithm l =0.95~0.99 (take 0.95 when noise fluctuations are large, and take 0.99 when noise is stable). Coefficient formula: ; 3) Noise cancellation: The denoised sound wave signal (The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) after denoising is ≥20dB, which meets the requirements for subsequent feature extraction.)
[0028] S2.3 Denoising of fiber optic vibration signals (Empirical Mode Decomposition, EMD) Pipeline inherent vibrations (such as vibrations caused by soil settlement and vehicle bumps, with a dominant frequency of 10-100Hz) and leakage vibrations (with a dominant frequency of 100-500Hz) need to be separated by EMD (Electromagnetic Decomposition and Analysis). The specific steps are as follows: 1) EMD decomposition: Decomposition of the original vibration signal v i0 ( t Perform EMD decomposition, with the decomposition stopping criterion being "the energy difference between two consecutive intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) is <5%", to obtain... m One IMF (sorted by frequency from high to low, usually) m =4~6, when the pipeline's inherent vibration is strong m =6~8) and 1 residual term (including trend component); 2) Noisy IMF Removal: Calculate the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR=10lg(signal power / noise power)) for each IMF and remove IMFs with SNR<15dB (mainly due to inherent vibration noise). 3) Signal reconstruction: Retain signal with an SNR ≥ 15dB. m' One IMF, reconstructing the denoised signal (The correlation between the reconstructed signal and the leakage vibration is ≥0.9, ensuring the validity of the signal).
[0029] S3. Construct a unified attenuation model for multi-source signals. For the leak point P ( x , y (Coordinates to be determined) First, establish a sub-model of the correlation between "operating parameters-attenuation characteristics" for three types of signals. Then, fuse them into a unified model through dynamic weighting of information entropy to eliminate the differences in attenuation mechanisms of different signals, as detailed below: S3.1 Single signal attenuation sub-model (associated with operating condition parameters) One of the key aspects of this application is the inclusion of pipeline operating parameters (gas viscosity). m ,density r Pipe diameter D Sound wave main frequency f An attenuation model is introduced to ensure the accuracy of attenuation calculations under different operating conditions. The formulas and parameter acquisition methods for each sub-model are as follows: 1) Pressure wave attenuation sub-model (dominated by fluid viscosity) When the pressure wave generated by the leak propagates in the gas, the viscous force causes energy attenuation, and the attenuation formula is:
[0030] in: P iatt Leakage point P To the node i The attenuated amplitude of the pressure wave (unit: MPa); p 0 The initial pressure wave amplitude at the leak point (unit: MPa) is inferred from the peak value of the denoised signal. , (max( p i ( t ))for p i ( t The peak value is obtained by traversing the sampling points. α p Pressure wave attenuation coefficient (unit: 1 / m), associated gas viscosity m (Unit: Pa·s, measured on-site by a gas composition analyzer, range 1×10⁻⁶) -5 ~3×10 -5 Pa·s and density r (Unit: kg / m³) 3 The density was measured on-site using a density sensor, with values ranging from 0.5 to 3 kg / m³. 3 ): α p = 0.02·( m / r ) -0.5 (Experiments in this field have verified that this formula is applicable in...) m =1×10 -5 ~3×10 -5 Pa·s、 r =0.5~3kg / m 3 Within the specified range, the calculation error of the attenuation coefficient is ≤5%. L pi Leakage point P To the node i The straight-line distance (unit: m) is calculated from the coordinates: (( x i , y i ) is a node i (coordinates).
[0031] 2) Acoustic wave attenuation sub-model (dominated by air absorption) When the leaked sound wave propagates in the air, the vibration and friction of air molecules cause energy attenuation, and the attenuation formula is:
[0032] in: S iatt : Amplitude of sound wave after attenuation (unit: dB); s 0: Initial acoustic amplitude at the leak point (unit: dB), deduced from the peak value of the denoised signal: ; α s Sound wave attenuation coefficient (unit: 1 / m), associated sound wave dominant frequency f (Unit: Hz, from) s i ( t The Fourier transform of ) is obtained: s i ( t Perform an FFT and retrieve the frequency corresponding to the maximum amplitude, with a value range of 500~2000Hz. α s =0.1· f 0.5 (Experimental verification: This formula is in) f =Within the range of 500~2000Hz, the deviation from the measured attenuation coefficient is ≤8%). L pi Same pressure wavelet model (straight-line distance).
[0033] 3) Fiber vibration attenuation sub-model (dominated by tube wall damping) When pipe wall vibrations caused by a leak propagate along the pipeline, the damping of the pipe wall material leads to energy attenuation, as shown in the attenuation formula:
[0034] in: V iatt Amplitude after vibration decay (unit: g, 1g = 9.8m / s²) 2 ); v 0: Initial vibration amplitude at the leak point (unit: g), deduced from the peak value of the denoised signal: ; α v Vibration attenuation coefficient (unit: 1 / m), associated with gas pipe diameter D (Unit: m, obtained from pipeline design drawings or on-site measurements, range 0.2~1.0m): α v = 0.01· D (Experimental verification: This formula is in) D =Within the range of 0.2~1.0m, the calculation error of the attenuation coefficient is ≤6%). L pi Same pressure wavelet model (straight-line distance).
[0035] S3.2 Multi-source signal fusion attenuation model (dynamic weighting strategy) The information entropy weighting method is adopted, which quantifies the reliability of a signal by its information entropy (the smaller the entropy value, the more effective information the signal contains, and the higher the reliability). Weights are dynamically assigned, as follows: 1) Information entropy calculation (quantifying signal reliability) Calculate the information entropy for the three types of denoised signals (taking pressure wave signal as an example): ① Signal normalization: p i ( t All sampled values of ) are normalized to the interval (0,1] to obtain ; ② Information entropy calculation: (like =0, then ); Similarly, calculate the entropy of the sound wave signal. H s Fiber optic vibration signal entropy H v (Entropy range: 0≤) H ≤ln NThe smaller the entropy value, the more stable and reliable the signal.
[0036] 2) Dynamic weight calculation (prioritizing the trust of highly reliable signals) The weighting coefficients satisfy oh p + oh s + oh v = 1, the calculation formula is: , , ; 3) Weight Adjustment: If a weight's calculation result is negative, it is set to 0; if a weight > 0.7, it is forcibly adjusted to 0.7, and the remaining weights are adjusted accordingly. oh p : oh s : oh v =1 / H p :1 / H :1 / H v "Proportional allocation."
[0037] Example: If the leakage amount = 0.08m 3 / h (minor leakage), at which point the fiber optic vibration signal entropy H v =0.6 (high reliability), pressure wave signal entropy H p =1.2 (low reliability), acoustic signal entropy H s =1.0 (medium reliability), calculated as follows oh p =0.24、 oh s =0.28、 oh v =0.48, prioritize trusting the fiber optic vibration signal; if leakage = 1.0m 3 / h (major leak), then H p =0.5、 H s =0.8、 H v =1.1, weight adjusted to oh p =0.48、 oh s =0.30、 oh v=0.22, prioritize trusting the pressure wave signal.
[0038] 4) Unified attenuation model (fusion of multi-source signals) By fusing the attenuation values of the three types of signals, a unified attenuation value is obtained. F i (Dimensionless processing facilitates subsequent error calculation): F i = oh p ·( P iatt / P ref )+ oh s ·( S iatt / S ref )+ oh v ·( V iatt / V ref ) in: P ref =0.5MPa S ref =100dB Vref =1g is the reference value (to eliminate the difference in the dimensions of different signals, a common processing method in this field).
[0039] S4. Solving for the coordinates of the leakage point Construct an error objective function that represents the difference between the theoretical attenuation value and the actual attenuation value, and use the gradient descent method to find the coordinates of the leakage point where the error is minimized. P ( x , y To ensure the convergence and accuracy of the solution: S4.1 Objective Function Construction (Minimizing the Sum of Squared Errors) Actual fusion attenuation value F i Measured (calculated directly from the denoised signal) and theoretical fused attenuation values Fi ( x , y The sum of squared errors (calculated from the coordinates to be determined) is the objective function:
[0040] Among them, the actual fusion attenuation value F i Actual calculation logic and F i ( x ,y Consistent: This ensures the comparability of errors.
[0041] S4.2 Gradient Descent Iterative Solution (Ensuring Convergence) Through the x , y Take the partial derivative and update the coordinates along the direction of fastest error decrease until convergence: 1) Calculation of partial derivatives (sensitivity of error to coordinates) right J ( x , y Find them separately x , y The partial derivatives (reflecting the effect of coordinate changes on the error):

[0043] in, , The calculation formula (taking the pressure wave term as an example):
[0044] Similarly (will) Replace with — This partial derivative formula has been derived and verified using the chain rule to ensure the accuracy of the calculation.
[0045] 2) Coordinate iterative update (controlling convergence speed) Iteration formula:
[0046]
[0047] Learning rate Adaptive adjustment based on pipeline network scale, medium and low pressure pipeline networks High-pressure pipeline network If the error increases during the iteration process ( J ( x k+1 , y k+1 )> J ( x k , y k )),but Halving (experimental verification: this range ensures convergence after 200-500 iterations); initial coordinates ( x 0, y0): Take the geometric center of n monitoring nodes ( , This shortens the convergence time.
[0048] 3) Convergence conditions (to ensure positioning accuracy) The iteration stops when any of the following conditions are met. x k+1 , y k+1 The coordinates of the leak point are estimated. P est ( x est , y est ): Error change: | J ( x k+1 , y k+1 )- J ( x k , y k )|<10 -6 (The objective function tends to stabilize); Number of iterations: k ≥500 (to avoid infinite iteration, at which point the error already meets the accuracy requirements).
[0049] S5. Verification and optimization of positioning results (closed-loop correction) The actual coordinates of the leak point are obtained through on-site excavation verification or pipeline pressure monitoring data (pressure recovery status after leak point repair). P true ( x true , y true ), calculate positioning error (Unit: meters):
[0050] like ≤5 meters: Positioning result is valid, output P est ; like >5 meters: This indicates a deviation between the attenuation coefficient and the actual working conditions. Adjust the attenuation coefficient according to the following rules and return to step 4 to iterate again:
[0051] (Adjustment logic:) / 5 represents the relative error ratio; the larger the error, the greater the correction magnitude of the attenuation coefficient. Experimental verification shows that the success rate of this adjustment strategy is ≥95%, ensuring that the error is ≤5 meters after the second iteration.
