Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas pipeline planning technology, and in particular to a method, system, equipment and medium for overvoltage protection of buried pipelines based on power transmission line layout optimization. Background Technology

[0002] With the construction and development of the national energy network, high-voltage overhead transmission lines and long-distance buried oil and gas pipelines inevitably have numerous spatial intersections or parallel proximity sections. The time-varying electromagnetic fields (including steady-state power frequency fields and transient electromagnetic fields) generated during the operation of transmission lines can induce longitudinal voltages and circulating currents in adjacent buried metal pipelines through electromagnetic induction, capacitive coupling, and conductive coupling. These induced voltages can lead to pipeline corrosion breakdown, accelerated corrosion, electric shock risks, equipment damage, and even, in extreme cases, fires or explosions.

[0003] Currently, most protective measures for this problem focus on the pipeline side and are passive or remedial technologies, such as grounding drainage, segmented insulation, and shielding. These methods have shortcomings such as high investment costs, complex maintenance, and difficulty in eradicating risks. Furthermore, there is a lack of a systematic approach to proactively optimize the layout during the transmission line planning and design phase, resulting in a lack of quantitative basis for protection decisions and making it difficult to control risks at their source.

[0030] Figures 1-4 An embodiment of the present invention is shown, which is a method for overvoltage protection of buried pipelines based on power transmission line layout optimization. In this embodiment, a planning scenario in which a 220kV high-voltage power transmission line and an X80 gas transmission pipeline are laid in parallel is applied.

[0031] In this optional embodiment, the buried pipeline overvoltage protection method based on transmission line layout optimization includes: S1. Basic Data Acquisition and 3D Scene Modeling: Obtain transmission line parameters within the target area from GIS and design drawings: voltage level, conductor type / number of splits / arrangement, span, height above ground, rated current, short-circuit current level (with a clearly defined calculation benchmark, such as 1000MVA), and operating frequency. Data sources include design drawings, short-circuit calculation reports, and industry standards. Parameter errors are required to be ≤±2%, and conductor height must be verified through on-site spot checks.

[0032] Buried oil and gas pipeline parameters include: material (steel grade, electrical conductivity, magnetic permeability), pipe diameter, wall thickness, burial depth, type and thickness / resistivity of anti-corrosion coating, and cathodic protection parameters (potential, current). Data sources include design drawings, material certificates, anti-corrosion coating test reports, and cathodic protection plans. Burial depth error must be ≤ ±5cm, and material parameters must be 100% accurate. Spatial relative position information of power transmission lines and buried oil and gas pipelines: including the length of parallel / overlapping sections of the lines and pipelines, minimum spatial clearance (from the lowest point of the conductor to the highest point of the pipeline), intersection angle, and three-dimensional coordinates (towers, pipeline turning points). Data sources include GIS data, GNSS field measurements (accuracy ≥ 1cm), and laser ranging, with clearance error required to be ≤ ±10cm and coordinate error ≤ ±0.5m.

[0033] Soil environmental parameters include soil stratified resistivity (measured using the four-electrode method to the pipe burial depth), soil moisture, topographic slope, and meteorological data (temperature and precipitation). Data sources include field sampling, environmental monitoring reports, and meteorological station data. The soil resistivity measurement error is required to be ≤±5%.

[0034] The above datasets are compiled and organized into a dataset. An initial three-dimensional electromagnetic coupling model, including transmission lines, buried pipelines, and the surrounding soil environment, is constructed using this dataset. Specifically, this includes: S11. Standardization: Unify all parameters to the International System of Units (SI); coordinate system to WGS84; standardize text descriptions; normalize proportional parameters (such as humidity) to the [0,1] range to ensure data format uniformity.

[0035] S11. Data preprocessing: Apply the 3σ criterion to remove outliers (such as unreasonable short-circuit current data), directly correct or remove logically erroneous data (such as negative parameters), supplement missing soil parameters using Kriging interpolation, and verify data consistency (error ≤ 1%).

[0036] S13. Association Mapping: Using "spatial coordinates + segment number" as key fields, a spatial relationship database is constructed using PostGIS to achieve accurate spatial association and rapid query analysis between line segments and pipeline segments, providing data association support for subsequent mechanism analysis and initial three-dimensional electromagnetic coupling model.

[0037] S14. Software platform selection: COMSOL Multiphysics 6.0 is preferred because it has powerful multiphysics coupling capabilities and a flexible user interface, which can accurately simulate the complex electromagnetic coupling process of "lines, pipes, and soil".

[0038] S15. Establish a geometric model: Based on the actual engineering situation, reasonable simplification is made. The wires are set as ideal conductors, the pipes are made of uniform steel material, and the soil is a uniform semi-infinite medium. Electromagnetic reflection of non-critical metal components is ignored, and the calculation efficiency is improved while ensuring the calculation accuracy.

[0039] Modeling steps: Geometry Import: Import the pre-processed spatial coordinate data of the lines and pipelines (supports DXF format) into the software to create accurate cylindrical conductors, pipeline models with anti-corrosion coatings, and soil-air calculation domains.

[0040] Material assignment: Based on the collected parameters, precise electromagnetic property parameters are assigned to conductors (aluminum / copper, high conductivity), pipes (steel, μr≈100), anti-corrosion layers (such as 3PE, εr≈2.5, high resistivity), soil (custom resistivity), etc.

[0041] S16. Physical field settings: The steady-state field setting is "Time-Harmonic Electromagnetic Field" (50Hz), which applies a three-phase sinusoidal current excitation (phase difference 120°) to the conductor; the transient field setting is "Transient Electromagnetic Field", which applies a pulse current (short circuit) or pulse voltage (operation) excitation; the "Electromagnetic Field-Circuit Coupling" module is enabled to connect the pipeline to the equivalent cathodic protection circuit to simulate the actual operating scenario.

[0042] S17. Mesh generation strategy: Adaptive free tetrahedral mesh is adopted to refine the mesh with high density in the area adjacent to the line and pipeline (<5m), the anti-corrosion layer, and the surface of the conductor (mesh size ≤0.2m, locally ≤0.05m), while the far field area is coarsened to balance computational efficiency while ensuring computational accuracy.

[0043] Boundary and Coupling Definitions: The spatial boundary is set as a cuboid computational domain, and absorbing boundary conditions are set at the boundary to reduce reflection; the interface satisfies the rules of tangential continuity and normal abrupt change of electromagnetic field; the interaction relationships of electromagnetic induction, capacitive coupling and conduction coupling are clearly defined to ensure the accuracy of the physical meaning of the model.

[0044] •S18. Theoretical verification: Select a typical cross-section and use the classical Nelson formula to calculate the theoretical value of the induced voltage in the pipeline. Compare it with the steady-state calculation results of the model and adjust the parameters to make the error ≤5%.

[0045] In the specific implementation process, it is also necessary to conduct actual measurement verification: set up measuring points in similar engineering sections that have been built, measure the induced voltage and electric field strength of the pipeline, compare them with the model simulation results, optimize the model parameters until the average error is ≤8%, and ensure the reliability and engineering applicability of the model.

[0046] S2. Identification and Sensitivity Measurement Analysis of Critical Layout Parameters: From the design parameters of transmission lines, critical layout parameters that significantly affect the induced voltage in pipelines are identified, specifically including: The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to invite 3-5 industry experts in electromagnetics, power systems, and pipeline engineering to score and determine the weights of four core factors: Line parameters (weight ~0.35): including voltage level, current magnitude, conductor phase sequence arrangement and splitting method.

Determine the layout parameters to be analyzed and their range of variation: Based on industry design specifications and engineering practice experience, select layout parameters that significantly affect the induced voltage of the pipeline and are adjustable in engineering practice. Selection principles include: Significance of electromagnetic effects: Based on electromagnetic field theory, key geometric parameters affecting the strength of inductive coupling; Engineering adjustability: Parameters that allow for adjustment in the planning and design; Economic feasibility: Adjusted costs are within the limits of the project budget; Safety compliance: The adjusted system still meets the relevant safety standards.

[0051] For example: horizontal relative offset, height of side phase conductors, height of middle phase conductors, phase sequence arrangement, conductor phase distance and crossing angle; Taking the "horizontal relative offset" parameter as an example, the process for determining its range is as follows: Lower limit determined: Based on the constraint of the line corridor width, the line centerline is allowed to be offset by a maximum of 15m towards the pipeline side to avoid affecting other facilities; Upper limit determined: a maximum allowable offset of 15m away from the pipeline side to control the path growth within 5%; Reference value: The original design offset is 0m.

[0052] S22. Parameter Discretization Sampling: An equidistant sampling method is used, with 5 discrete points evenly selected for each parameter within its value range. Sampling point calculation formula:

[0053] Where N=5 is the number of sampling points, This represents the minimum value of the i-th parameter (the lower limit of the parameter's range of variation), and vice versa. It is the maximum value of the i-th parameter (the upper limit of the parameter's range of variation).

[0054] S23. Single-parameter disturbance simulation calculation: Baseline Model Loading: Load the pre-built 3D electromagnetic coupling baseline model (.mph file) of "220kV Line-X80 Pipeline" from COMSOL.

Sensitivity Ranking and Visualization: Establish a comprehensive scoring system with four dimensions, such as voltage sensitivity, improvement potential, engineering feasibility, and cost impact, and conduct comprehensive scoring for each parameter, including phase sequence arrangement, horizontal offset, cross angle, middle phase height, side phase height, and phase distance.

[0062] For example: The system automatically generates the following visualizations: Sensitivity ranking bar chart: intuitively displays the overall score ranking of each parameter.

Establish a multi-constraint layout optimization mathematical model: With minimizing the maximum induced voltage along the pipeline as the objective function, the key layout parameters identified in step S2 as optimization variables, and the electrical performance constraints, structural safety constraints, engineering economic constraints, and pipeline safety voltage threshold as constraints, a multi-objective layout optimization mathematical model is established. The step S3 of establishing a multi-objective layout optimization mathematical model includes: S31. Establish a mathematical model for optimizing the layout of power transmission lines, transforming the engineering problem into a mathematical optimization problem. The multi-objective layout optimization mathematical model established in step S3 is expressed as follows:
