Download or read book Modeling and Monitoring of Pipelines and Networks written by Cristina Verde and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-21 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the analysis and design of advanced techniques for on-line automatic computational monitoring of pipelines and pipe networks. It discusses how to improve the systems’ security considering mathematical models of the flow, historical flow rate and pressure data, with the main goal of reducing the number of sensors installed along a pipeline. The techniques presented in the book have been implemented in digital systems to enhance the abilities of the pipeline network’s operators in recognizing anomalies. A real leak scenario in a Mexican water pipeline is used to illustrate the benefits of these techniques in locating the position of a leak. Intended for an interdisciplinary audience, the book addresses researchers and professionals in the areas of mechanical, civil and control engineering. It covers topics on fluid mechanics, instrumentation, automatic control, signal processing, computing, construction and diagnostic technologies.

Download or read book Flow Modelling and Control in Pipeline Systems written by Sina Razvarz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces novel methods for leak and blockage detection in pipelines. The leak happens as a result of ageing pipelines or extreme pressure forced by operational error or valve rapid variation. Many factors influence blockage formation in pipes like wax deposition that leads to the formation and eventual growth of solid layers and deposition of suspended solid particles in the fluids. In this book, initially, different categories of leak detection are overviewed. Afterwards, the observability and controllability of pipeline systems are analysed. Control variables can be usually presented by pressure and flow rates at the start and end points of the pipe. Different cases are considered based on the selection of control variables to model the system. Several theorems are presented to test the observability and controllability of the system. In this book, the leakage flow in the pipelines is studied numerically to find the relationship between leakage flow and pressure difference. Removing leakage completely is almost impossible; hence, the development of a formal systematic leakage control policy is the most reliable approach to reducing leakage rates.
Download or read book System Level Prognosis and Health Monitoring Modeling Framework and Software Implementation for Gas Pipeline System Integrity Management written by Wadie cHALGHAM and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recurrent pipeline failures continue to be a source of safety and economic risk related to processing, transporting, and distributing natural gas. Studies have shown the lack of comprehensive, integrated, and accessible risk-informed integrity management models and tools for pipeline operators is a major contributor. To address this gap, this research presents a system-level Prognosis and Health Monitoring (PHM) modeling framework for gas pipeline system integrity management to prevent or reduce the likelihood of failures. The proposed PHM approach takes into consideration all possible failure modes of the pipeline under study. It leverages the advancement of sensor technology to stream field data in real-time to perform a dynamic system-level failure analysis based on Hybrid Causal Logic (HCL) including a Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN) corrosion model, to provide cost-effective and optimal mitigation actions such as sensor placement and maintenance schedule optimizations. The developed models are implemented in a software platform where the pipeline operators can observe the real-time and projected health state of the pipeline and the set of suggested actions to enhance the structural integrity of the pipeline system. The platform includes three main modules: Real-Time Health Monitoring, System-Level Reliability, and Optimal Mitigation Actions. From a safety perspective, the proposed PHM can prevent pipeline failures or reduces their likelihood by supporting pipeline operators in optimal decision-making and planning activities. To demonstrate potential benefits and performance of the proposed framework and software implementation, it is applied in a case study involving a corroding gas transmission pipeline.
