Abstract:

In traditional leak location methods, the position of the leak point is located through the time difference of pressure change points of both ends of the pipeline. The inaccurate estimation of pressure change points leads to the wrong leak location result. To address it, adaptive dynamic programming is proposed to solve the pipeline leak location problem in this article. First, a pipeline model is proposed to describe the pressure change along pipeline, which is utilized to reflect the iterative situation of the logarithmic form of pressure change. Then, under the Bellman optimality principle, a value iteration (VI) scheme is proposed to provide the optimal sequence of the nominal parameter and obtain the pipeline leak point. Furthermore, neural networks are built as the VI scheme structure to ensure the iterative performance of the proposed method. By transforming into the dynamic optimization problem, the proposed method adopts the estimation of the logarithmic form of pressure changes of both ends of the pipeline to locate the leak point, which avoids the wrong results caused by unclear pressure change points. Thus, it could be applied for real-time leak location of long-distance pipeline. Finally, the experiment cases are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
