This invention discloses a method and
system for monitoring leaks in urban low-pressure gas pipelines based on negative pressure
waves, comprising: S1, acquiring the medium-pressure
signal of the medium-pressure pipeline upstream of the pressure regulating box and the low-pressure
signal of the low-pressure pipeline downstream of the pressure regulating box; S2, performing
discrete wavelet transform on the medium-pressure
signal and the low-pressure signal; S3, if the low-pressure signal shows a sudden pressure drop, it is determined that a low-pressure
gas leak has occurred under no-gas-use conditions; otherwise, proceed to step S4; S4, if the maximum fluctuation amplitude of the detail signal after two splits of the medium-pressure signal exceeds a set value or the low-pressure signal shows low-frequency changes, it is determined that a low-pressure
gas leak has occurred under gas-use conditions. This invention, based on negative pressure
waves, only requires collecting and analyzing the
internal pressure of the pipeline to achieve real-time online monitoring. Compared with traditional manual inspections, it saves manpower, is highly accurate, safe, and convenient, and has a short
response time and high
processing efficiency in leak situations.
