The improvement of pipeline mathematical model for the purposes of leak detection
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper presents the improvements of the mathematical model of liquid flow dynamics in long distance pipelines. The model was formulated on the basis of the real pipeline system as a result of research concerning the leak detection and localization algorithms. The model takes into account the liquid pressure and velocity in the pipeline, but also the impact of the others important system elements such as pumps, valves and a receiving tank. This allows more precise detection and localization of the pipe leaks.

INVERSE FREQUENCY RESPONSE ANALYSIS FOR PIPELINES LEAK DETECTION USING THE PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION
Inverse Transient Analysis (ITA) is a powerful approach for leak detection of pipelines. When the pipe transient flow is analyzed in frequency domain the ITA is called Inverse Frequency Response Analysis (IFRA). To implement an IFRA for leak detection, a transient state is initiated in the pipe by fast closure of the downstream end valve. Then, the pressure time history at the valve location is...

متن کاملExperimental values for adjusting an automatic control valve in gas pipeline transportation
When a natural gas pipeline ruptures, the adjacent automatic line control valves (ALCVs) should close quickly to prevent leakage or explosion. The differential pressure set point (DPS) at each valve location is the main criteria for value setting in ALCV action. If the DPS is not properly adjusted, the ALCV may mistakenly close or it may not take any action at proper time. This study focused on...
