Above-mentioned technology all belongs to distributed optical fiber sensing monitoring method.But such technical monitoring is subject to the impact of the interference incident that pipeline occurs while leakage, have very high system false alarm rate, and antijamming capability is poor.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is to invent a kind of sensitivity and accuracy is high, false alarm rate is low, be not subject to the anti-polarization decay method and system of the gas pipeline leakage detecting sensor group based on Fibre Optical Sensor of such environmental effects.
In view of above-mentioned a few class Leak Detection, the sensitivity that monitoring technology exists is low, false alarm rate is high, be subject to the problems such as such environmental effects, the present invention is to provide the quasi-distributed leakage vibration monitoring of a kind of high sensitivity based on Fibre Optical Sensor method and system, adopt high sensor to make micro-leakage to occur when pipeline, when the leakage primary stages such as seepage, monitored in time, and in conjunction with the time domain of incident of leakage, frequency domain character effectively reduces and disturbs the system false alarm rate causing, this technical scheme has overcome poor accuracy in monitoring technology before this and the deficiency of mounting process complexity, make related maintenance personnel can take in time counter-measure, avoid causing larger security incident.
Thereby the natural gas line leakage system with the sensitivity of high leakage vibrating sensing is to have realized the raising of the induction sensitivity of interferometer to vibration signal by the length of increase interferometer two pickup arms and space length, at the intelligent identification technology that has adopted leakage signal aspect the inhibition that Environmental Random Vibration is disturbed, random accidental vibration and sudden, continuation leakage signal are effectively distinguished, and the leakage signal time delay of simultaneously obtaining in conjunction with adjacent multiple sensors, the location of having realized more accurately leakage point.
Optical fiber in the common communications optical cable of utilization and oil and gas pipes laying in one ditch is as transmitting and passback optical fiber, pipeline is revealed to Fibre Optical Sensor to be connected between transmitting-receiving Transmission Fibers by Optical multiplexing technology is parallel with one another, form light circuit, pipeline is revealed Fibre Optical Sensor and is arranged on pipeline, the optical fiber sensing system that formation can monitoring pipe road acoustic vibration.Utilize light source to reveal Fibre Optical Sensor scanning to each pipeline, reveal the distribution situation of Fibre Optical Sensor according to pipeline to the photoelectric conversion signal demodulation, the extraction that gather, the vibration information of realizing each pipeline leakage Fibre Optical Sensor obtains, detect analysis conduit and reveal Fibre Optical Sensor signal and judged whether that pipeline leakage event occurs, reveal Fibre Optical Sensor according to adjacent pipeline and detect that the time delay of arrival of signal realizes the location to leak point.
After pipe leakage, can produce the sound wave of each frequency range, the shorter ultrasound wave of wavelength ratio apart from sound source not far position just gradually by Absorption of Medium, and wavelength is shorter, attenuation by absorption also faster, only have the distant of low-frequency sound wave and infrasonic wave propagation, can propagate a few km to tens kms.Adopt in the system of infrasonic sensor being installed compared with long pipeline two ends because available signal frequency range is narrower, to the accurate positioning effect of leakage signal not enough at present.
The anti-polarization decay method of gas pipeline leakage detecting sensor group is that the sensor of a Michelson interferometer structure is installed at a certain distance on pipeline body, by the sensor of several Michelson interferometer structures by beam splitter and bundling device and be connected in launching fiber and passback optical fiber between; Two arms of Michelson interferometer are not isometric, each Michelson interferometer uses two faraday rotation mirrors as catoptron, the anglec of rotation is 45 degree, catoptrical polarization state is changed and just in time offset the polarization state variation of incident light, thereby make the visibility of interferometer remain maximum.
Adopt optical fiber Michelson interferometer as leaking sonic detection sensor, the light intensity signal of its output can be write as after opto-electronic conversion:
V 0∝1+Vcos(φ sn0)+V n(1)
Wherein, V 0be the voltage signal of output, V is the visibility of interferometer, V ncircuit additional noise, φ sserve as reasons and leak the phase difference signal that vibration wave causes, be the leakage vibration wave signal that will survey, φ 0for the initial phase of interferometer, be a constant, φ nfor the low frequency wonder of phasic difference, be a Uncertainty, change with temperature and external environment impact.Can realize and leak vibration wave signal psi by the demultiplexing technology matching with modulation of source mode sobtain, and to this signal psi sthe time delay that arrives corresponding sensor estimates, having realized vibration wave source in conjunction with vibration wave along the speed v of pipe transmmision is determining of leakage point position.
In fact, in Michelson interferometer optical fiber with the corresponding refractive index n of two polarization modes xand n yunequal, simultaneously because micro-curved, the distortion of optical fiber, the variation of environment temperature make n xand n yrandom variation, causes optical fiber output polarization state random variation, is reflected in interference signal visibility V random variation between 0~1, and this phenomenon is the polarization inducement signal fade-out of interferometer.This phenomenon will cause the reduction of sensor detection sensitivity and signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) and unstable, for eliminating polarization decay, adopt faraday rotation mirror method, before two catoptrons of common Michelson interferometer, respectively add a Faraday rotator and form faraday rotation mirror, the anglec of rotation is 45 degree, catoptrical polarization state is changed and just in time offset the polarization state variation of incident light, thereby make the visibility of interferometer remain 1.
In formula (1), due to low-frequency disturbance φ nrandom variation, and amplitude is large, is subject to φ nvariable effect, the signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) of system output is changing, and as sin φ n=0 o'clock, the complete blanking of signal, this be called the phase fading phenomenon of interferometer.
In order to eliminate polarization decay phenomenon, adopt phase carrier technology to detect leakage acoustic signals.Specific as follows:
