提高油气管道泄漏和入侵检测的分布式光纤传感器性能的方法A method to improve the performance of distributed fiber optic sensors for oil and gas pipeline leak and intrusion detection

技术领域 technical field

本发明属于信号检测和分析技术领域,涉及一种在线检测方法,特别涉及一种利用Golay码提高油气管道泄漏和第三方入侵事件检测的分布式光纤传感器性能的方法。The invention belongs to the technical field of signal detection and analysis, relates to an online detection method, in particular to a method for improving the performance of a distributed optical fiber sensor for detecting oil and gas pipeline leakage and third-party intrusion events by using Golay codes.

背景技术 Background technique

管道输送是一种经济方便的运输方式,在石油和天然气的输送中具有独特优势,突出表现为安全、便捷和高效等。长输油气管道已经成为我国能源大动脉的重要组成部分,战略地位十分重要。长输油气管道的特点是点多线长,且多为地埋管道。由于使用环境恶劣,随着服役时间增长,腐蚀、地形沉降、重压、机械施工及人为破坏等因素都可能使管道出现损伤,甚至泄漏。泄漏不仅会造成巨大财产损失和严重环境污染,甚至会引发火灾、爆炸,威胁人民生命和财产的安全。对管道泄漏和可能引起管道外力损伤的重压、地形沉降、机械施工及人为破坏等第三方入侵事件进行迅速判断和准确定位、及时发现泄漏和预报泄漏隐患就显得十分重要。Pipeline transportation is an economical and convenient mode of transportation, which has unique advantages in the transportation of oil and natural gas, especially in terms of safety, convenience and efficiency. Long-distance oil and gas pipelines have become an important part of my country's energy artery, and their strategic position is very important. Long-distance oil and gas pipelines are characterized by multiple points and long lines, and most of them are buried pipelines. Due to the harsh service environment, corrosion, topographical settlement, heavy pressure, mechanical construction and man-made damage may cause damage to the pipeline and even leakage as the service time increases. Leakage will not only cause huge property losses and serious environmental pollution, but may even cause fires and explosions, threatening the safety of people's lives and property. It is very important to quickly judge and accurately locate third-party intrusion events such as pipeline leakage and heavy pressure that may cause external damage to pipelines, terrain settlement, mechanical construction, and man-made sabotage, and to detect leakage in time and predict hidden dangers of leakage.

目前,管道泄漏检测的方法很多,分直接检漏法和间接检漏法。直接检漏法是利用探测器直接检测管道外的泄漏物判断泄漏,包括检漏电缆法、导电高聚合物检漏法、传感光缆法、红外线法和探地雷达法等。间接检漏法是通过监测管道的运行参数(如压力、流量、温度等)估计泄漏,包括质量平衡法、负压波法、压力梯度法、管内爬行机法、统计检漏法、应力波法、声学方法和实时模型法等。其中传感光缆法是一种基于分布式光纤传感器的检测方法,已成为油气管道安全检测技术研究的热点。At present, there are many methods for pipeline leak detection, which are divided into direct leak detection method and indirect leak detection method. The direct leak detection method is to use the detector to directly detect the leakage outside the pipeline to judge the leakage, including the leak detection cable method, the conductive high polymer leak detection method, the sensor optical cable method, the infrared method and the ground penetrating radar method, etc. The indirect leak detection method is to estimate the leakage by monitoring the operating parameters of the pipeline (such as pressure, flow, temperature, etc.), including the mass balance method, negative pressure wave method, pressure gradient method, crawling machine method in the pipe, statistical leak detection method, and stress wave method. , acoustic methods and real-time model methods. Among them, the sensing optical cable method is a detection method based on distributed optical fiber sensors, which has become a hot spot in the research of oil and gas pipeline safety detection technology.

分布式光纤传感器是伴随光纤通信技术的发展而迅速发展起来的一种以光为载体、光纤为媒质,感知和传输外界信号的新型传感器,它具有同时获取传感光纤区域内随时间和空间变化的被测量分布信息的能力。沿油气管道铺设一条传感光缆,管道泄漏和可能引起管道外力损伤的第三方入侵事件对管道附近铺设的传感光缆产生作用力,其中的横向力和纵向力能够通过微弯或光栅效应使传感光缆中的传感光纤产生传输损耗;另外,传感光缆可以采用天然橡胶等具有膨润特性的包覆材料,输油管道发生泄漏或渗漏(滴漏)时,传感光缆的包覆材料遇油体积发生膨胀,膨胀产生的力作用于传感光纤,使传感光纤发生弯曲,出现损耗。使用OTDR可以对导致损耗的外部事件进行定位。一种基于OTDR油气管道泄漏和入侵检测的分布式光纤传感器的系统结构如图1所示。Distributed optical fiber sensor is a new type of sensor that uses light as the carrier and optical fiber as the medium to sense and transmit external signals, which has developed rapidly with the development of optical fiber communication technology. The ability of the measurand to distribute information. A sensing optical cable is laid along an oil and gas pipeline. Pipeline leakage and third-party intrusion events that may cause external force damage to the pipeline will exert force on the sensing optical cable laid near the pipeline. The sensing optical fiber in the optical sensing cable produces transmission loss; in addition, the sensing optical cable can use natural rubber and other coating materials with swelling properties. When the oil pipeline leaks or leaks (drip), the coating material of the sensing optical cable will The volume of the oil expands, and the force generated by the expansion acts on the sensing fiber, causing the sensing fiber to bend and cause loss. External events that cause loss can be located using an OTDR. The system structure of a distributed optical fiber sensor based on OTDR oil and gas pipeline leakage and intrusion detection is shown in Figure 1.

如图1所示,激光脉冲发生器[101]产生的光脉冲经隔离器[102]和耦合器[103]从一端(称为输入端)注入到传感光纤[2]并在传感光纤[2]中向前传播,在传感光纤[2]的另一端(称为输出端)输出并耦合到光功率探测器[401]转换成电信号,然后经放大/滤波器[402]、模/数转换和数字信号处理器[403]单元处理后,结果送给计算机数据分析系统[5],称为输出光功率检测模块[4]。同时,光脉冲沿传感光纤[2]向前传播过程中,因瑞利散射和菲涅耳反射不断产生背向散射光。背向散射光沿传感光纤[2]反向传播并返回到输入端,经耦合器[103]到光功率探测器[301],转换成电信号,再经放大/滤波器[302]、模/数转换和数字信号处理器[303]单元处理后,结果也送给计算机数据分析系统[5],称为背向散射光检测模块[3]。计算机[5]对光纤输出光功率检测模块[4]的输出数据进行分析和融合,获得沿传感光纤[2]路径上压力和振动信号的变化,根据其频谱特征判定是否有管道泄漏或入侵事件发生,并利用背向散射光检测模块[3]进行定位。因此,输出光功率检测模块[4]可以获得传感光纤[2]上损耗变化的频谱特征,判断故障类型;背向散射光检测模块[3]用于传感光纤[2]上各点静态和动态损耗测量,实现故障定位。As shown in Figure 1, the optical pulse generated by the laser pulse generator [101] is injected into the sensing fiber [2] from one end (called the input end) through the isolator [102] and the coupler [103] Propagate forward in [2], output at the other end (referred to as the output end) of the sensing fiber [2] and couple to the optical power detector [401] to convert it into an electrical signal, and then through amplification/filter [402], After analog/digital conversion and digital signal processor [403] unit processing, the result is sent to the computer data analysis system [5], which is called the output optical power detection module [4]. At the same time, during the forward propagation of the light pulse along the sensing fiber [2], backscattered light is continuously generated due to Rayleigh scattering and Fresnel reflection. The backscattered light travels backward along the sensing fiber [2] and returns to the input end, passes through the coupler [103] to the optical power detector [301], converts it into an electrical signal, and then passes through the amplification/filter [302], After analog/digital conversion and digital signal processor [303] unit processing, the result is also sent to the computer data analysis system [5], which is called backscattered light detection module [3]. The computer [5] analyzes and fuses the output data of the optical fiber output optical power detection module [4], obtains the changes of pressure and vibration signals along the path of the sensing optical fiber [2], and judges whether there is pipeline leakage or intrusion according to its spectrum characteristics The event occurs and is localized using the backscattered light detection module [3]. Therefore, the output optical power detection module [4] can obtain the spectral characteristics of the loss change on the sensing fiber [2] to determine the type of fault; the backscattered light detection module [3] is used to sense the static And dynamic loss measurement to realize fault location.

在分布式光纤传感器系统中,激光脉冲发生器[101]产生的光脉冲有两个作用:一是光脉冲在传感光纤[2]中向前传播的过程中不断产生背向散射光,在输入端通过对背向散射光的测量,获得传感光纤[2]上新增损耗的空间分布;二是光脉冲在传感光纤[2]中向前传播的过程中,管道泄漏和第三方入侵事件产生的外部干扰使传感光纤[2]中传输的光脉冲出现损耗,输出的光功率发生变化,因此脉冲光可以作为传感光纤[2]传输损耗的采样脉冲。In the distributed optical fiber sensor system, the light pulse generated by the laser pulse generator [101] has two functions: one is that the backscattered light is continuously generated during the forward propagation of the light pulse in the sensing fiber [2]. At the input end, the spatial distribution of the newly added loss on the sensing fiber [2] is obtained by measuring the backscattered light; the second is the pipeline leakage and third-party The external interference generated by the intrusion event causes the loss of the optical pulse transmitted in the sensing fiber [2], and the output optical power changes, so the pulsed light can be used as a sampling pulse of the transmission loss of the sensing fiber [2].

基于OTDR油气管道泄漏和入侵检测的分布式光纤传感器的优点,一是脉冲光源[101]和背向散射光信号检测模块[3]均在传感光纤[2]的同一端,可以实现单端故障定位,爆炸、挖掘等事件导致传感光缆断裂时,仍可以对故障事件进行定位;二是由于光脉冲在传感光纤[2]上不同位置产生的背向散射光返回到输入端的时间不同,相互之间不会发生干扰,因此可以对多个故障点同时定位。缺点是光脉冲在传感光纤[2]中传播时产生的背向散射光信号非常弱,比光脉冲能量低得多,直接影响了背向散射光的信噪比,限制了检测距离,而且具有采样功能的脉冲光之间的最小间隔也存在一定的限制。The advantages of distributed optical fiber sensors based on OTDR oil and gas pipeline leakage and intrusion detection are: first, the pulse light source [101] and the backscattered light signal detection module [3] are at the same end of the sensing fiber [2], which can realize single-ended Fault location, when the sensing optical cable is broken due to events such as explosions and excavations, the fault event can still be located; the second is that the time for the backscattered light generated by the optical pulse at different positions on the sensing fiber [2] to return to the input end is different , will not interfere with each other, so multiple fault points can be located at the same time. The disadvantage is that the backscattered light signal generated when the light pulse propagates in the sensing fiber [2] is very weak, which is much lower than the energy of the light pulse, which directly affects the signal-to-noise ratio of the backscattered light and limits the detection distance. There is also a certain limit on the minimum interval between pulsed lights with sampling function.

为了提高背向散射光的信噪比,需要提高光脉冲的能量。一种方法是提高激光脉冲发生器[101]的功率,另一种方法是增加光脉冲的时间宽度。一旦光脉冲峰值功率已经达到最大值,并且接收器的灵敏度也是最好的,那么只能够使用增加光脉冲宽度的方法提高背向散射光的信噪比。但是,增加脉冲宽度会引起背向散射光信号的空间分辨率下降。因此在背向散射光信噪比和损耗空间分辨率之间存在矛盾,光脉冲越窄,损耗定位的空间分辨率越高,但背向散射光信号的信噪比越差。In order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of backscattered light, it is necessary to increase the energy of the light pulse. One way is to increase the power of the laser pulse generator [101], and the other way is to increase the temporal width of the light pulse. Once the peak power of the optical pulse has reached its maximum value and the sensitivity of the receiver is at its best, the signal-to-noise ratio of backscattered light can only be improved by increasing the optical pulse width. However, increasing the pulse width causes a decrease in the spatial resolution of the backscattered light signal. Therefore, there is a contradiction between the signal-to-noise ratio of backscattered light and the spatial resolution of the loss. The narrower the optical pulse, the higher the spatial resolution of the loss location, but the worse the signal-to-noise ratio of the backscattered light signal.

另一种提高背向散射光信噪比的方法是按照一定时间间隔发射多个脉冲,分别采集每个脉冲的背向散射光信号,然后求取平均值。这里存在一个限制,即只有前一个光脉冲的背向散射光全部返回到输入端之后,才能发送下一个脉冲,否则前一个脉冲在较远位置的背向散射光与后一个脉冲在较近位置的背向散射光相互叠加,彼此造成干扰。输入到传感光纤[2]中光脉冲之间的最小间隔T可以通过公式(1)获得:Another method to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of backscattered light is to transmit multiple pulses at a certain time interval, collect the backscattered light signal of each pulse separately, and then calculate the average value. There is a limitation here, that is, the next pulse can only be sent after all the backscattered light of the previous light pulse returns to the input end, otherwise the backscattered light of the previous pulse at a far position is closer to the next pulse The backscattered light superimposes on each other and interferes with each other. The minimum interval T between light pulses input into the sensing fiber [2] can be obtained by formula (1):

TT == 22 ×× ZZ cc ×× nno 11 -- -- -- (( 11 ))

其中Z是光纤[2]的长度;c是光信号在真空中的传播速度;n1是纤芯折射率;常数2表示光脉冲传播到传感光纤[2]输出端以及在输出端产生的背向散射光再返回到输入端(即来回)的时间。因此,传感光纤[2]越长,脉冲之间的时间间隔T越大,脉冲重复的频率越小。Among them, Z is the length of the optical fiber [2]; c is the propagation speed of the optical signal in vacuum; n 1 is the refractive index of the fiber core; the constant 2 indicates that the optical pulse propagates to the output end of the sensing optical fiber [2] and the output generated at the output end The time it takes for backscattered light to return to the input (i.e., to and fro). Therefore, the longer the sensing fiber [2], the larger the time interval T between pulses and the smaller the frequency of pulse repetition.

光脉冲在传感光纤[2]中传播时,损耗被外部事件产生的扰动调制。在传感光纤[2]中传播的以时间T重复的光脉冲也是传感光纤[2]传输损耗的采样脉冲。传感光纤[2]越长,脉冲间的时间间隔T越大,采样脉冲的频率越小。根据采样定理,采样频率至少是传感光纤[2]上损耗最大频率的2倍。因此,外部事件导致传感光纤[2]中的传输损耗的最大频率限定了传输损耗的最低采样频率和采样脉冲的最大时间间隔T,从而限制了基于OTDR油气管道泄漏和入侵检测的分布式光纤传感器的检测距离。As a light pulse propagates in a sensing fiber [2], the loss is modulated by perturbations generated by external events. The light pulse repeated with time T propagating in the sensing fiber [2] is also the sampling pulse of the transmission loss of the sensing fiber [2]. The longer the sensing fiber [2], the larger the time interval T between pulses, and the smaller the frequency of sampling pulses. According to the sampling theorem, the sampling frequency is at least twice the frequency of the maximum loss on the sensing fiber [2]. Therefore, the maximum frequency at which external events cause transmission loss in the sensing fiber [2] limits the minimum sampling frequency of transmission loss and the maximum time interval T of sampling pulses, thus limiting the distributed optical fiber based OTDR oil and gas pipeline leak and intrusion detection The detection distance of the sensor.

针对上述现有技术存在的不足,本发明的目的在于提出一种利用Golay码克服上述限制并提高油气管道泄漏和入侵检测的分布式光纤传感器性能的方法。Aiming at the deficiencies in the above-mentioned prior art, the object of the present invention is to propose a method for using Golay codes to overcome the above limitations and improve the performance of distributed optical fiber sensors for leak and intrusion detection of oil and gas pipelines.

为了实现上述目的,本发明采用的技术方案是:In order to achieve the above object, the technical scheme adopted in the present invention is:

在传感光纤的输入端,激光脉冲发生器输出的是幅值被Golay码和它们反码调制的光脉冲序列。光脉冲序列沿传感光纤向前传播的过程中被管道泄漏和入侵事件产生的扰动调制。在传感光纤的输出端,输出光功率检测模块采集传感光纤输出的光脉冲序列,并送计算机进行处理;计算机对输出光功率检测模块输出的脉冲序列信号进行幅值变换,消除Golay码和它们反码的调制,使变换后输出的脉冲序列信号的幅值只与管道泄漏和入侵事件产生的扰动有关。另一方面,光脉冲序列沿传感光纤向前传播过程中产生的背向散射光沿传感光纤反向传播到输入端,经背向散射光检测模块采集处理后,送计算机进行处理。计算机利用Golay码和它们反码调制的光脉冲序列沿传感光纤传播过程中产生的背向散射光信号,合成新的背向散射光信号。与单脉冲的背向散射光信号相比,合成的背向散射光信号的信号强,而且两者的空间分辨率相同,从而使管道泄漏和入侵检测的分布式光纤传感器在事件定位精度不变的条件下,可以通过增加光脉冲序列的长度来提高背向散射光信号的信噪比,从而增加管道的监测长度。At the input end of the sensing fiber, the output of the laser pulse generator is a sequence of light pulses whose amplitude is modulated by Golay codes and their inverse codes. The train of optical pulses propagating forward along the sensing fiber is modulated by perturbations generated by pipeline leaks and intrusion events. At the output end of the sensing optical fiber, the output optical power detection module collects the optical pulse sequence output by the sensing optical fiber and sends it to the computer for processing; the computer performs amplitude conversion on the pulse sequence signal output by the output optical power detection module to eliminate the Golay code and The modulation of their inverse code makes the amplitude of the output pulse sequence signal after transformation only related to the disturbance generated by pipeline leakage and intrusion events. On the other hand, the backscattered light generated during the forward propagation of the optical pulse sequence along the sensing fiber propagates back to the input end along the sensing fiber, and after being collected and processed by the backscattered light detection module, it is sent to the computer for processing. The computer synthesizes new backscattered light signals by using Golay codes and the backscattered light signals produced by the optical pulse trains modulated by their inverse codes along the sensing fiber. Compared with the single-pulse backscattered light signal, the signal of the synthesized backscattered light signal is stronger, and the spatial resolution of the two is the same, so that the distributed fiber optic sensor for pipeline leak and intrusion detection has the same accuracy in event localization Under certain conditions, the signal-to-noise ratio of the backscattered light signal can be improved by increasing the length of the optical pulse sequence, thereby increasing the monitoring length of the pipeline.

在传感光纤的输入端,背向散射光检测模块分别采集Golay码和它们反码调制的光脉冲序列沿传感光纤向前传播过程中产生的背向散射光信号,并送计算机处理;计算机利用上述背向散射光信号合成新的背向散射光信号,合成的背向散射光信号在空间分辨率方面与序列中单个光脉冲的背向散射光信号的相同,在信号强度方面,比单个脉冲的强,且与序列中光脉冲的个数成正比;计算机通过对新合成的背向散射光信号的分析,完成传感光纤上各点的静态和动态损耗的测量和定位;At the input end of the sensing fiber, the backscattered light detection module separately collects the backscattered light signal generated by the Golay code and their inverse code modulated light pulse sequence along the forward propagation of the sensing fiber, and sends it to the computer for processing; The above backscattered light signal is used to synthesize a new backscattered light signal. The spatial resolution of the synthesized backscattered light signal is the same as the backscattered light signal of a single light pulse in the sequence.

本发明所述的提高油气管道泄漏和入侵检测的分布式光纤传感器性能的方法具有如下优点:The method for improving the performance of a distributed optical fiber sensor for oil and gas pipeline leakage and intrusion detection according to the present invention has the following advantages:

1)本发明所述的方法中,传感光纤的探测信号是用Golay码和它们反码调制的连续光脉冲序列,这些光脉冲序列是传感光纤传输损耗的采样信号。由于序列中光脉冲的周期(宽度)没有任何限制,理论上可以取任意小的值,因此可以减小序列中光脉冲的宽度。一方面,通过减小序列中光脉冲的宽度,可以增加传感光纤损耗的采样频率,从而使计算机可以在更大频谱范围分析管道泄漏和可能引起管道损伤的第三方入侵事件在传感光纤上产生的损耗的特征;另一方面,计算机合成的背向散射光信号在空间分辨率方面与序列中单个光脉冲的背向散射光信号的相同,因此通过减少光脉冲序列中脉冲的宽度,也可以同时提高合成背向散射光信号的空间分辨率,从而提高传感光纤上新增损耗的定位精度。1) In the method of the present invention, the detection signal of the sensing optical fiber is a continuous optical pulse sequence modulated by Golay codes and their inverse codes, and these optical pulse sequences are sampling signals of the sensing optical fiber transmission loss. Since the period (width) of the light pulse in the sequence is not limited, it can theoretically take any small value, so the width of the light pulse in the sequence can be reduced. On the one hand, by reducing the width of the light pulse in the sequence, the sampling frequency of sensing fiber loss can be increased, so that the computer can analyze pipeline leakage and third-party intrusion events that may cause pipeline damage in a wider spectrum range on the sensing fiber On the other hand, the computer-synthesized backscattered light signal has the same spatial resolution as the backscattered light signal of a single light pulse in the sequence, so by reducing the pulse width in the light pulse train, it is also The spatial resolution of the synthesized backscattered light signal can be improved at the same time, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the added loss on the sensing optical fiber.

2)本发明所述的方法中,传感光纤的探测信号是用Golay码和它们反码调制的连续光脉冲序列。一方面,通过增加序列中脉冲的个数,可以增加传感光纤损耗的采样点数,有助于分析管道泄漏和第三方入侵事件导致的传感光纤中新增传输损耗信号的特征;另一方面,由于合成的背向散射光信号的信号强度与序列中光脉冲的个数成正比,通过增加序列中脉冲的个数,可以提高合成背向散射光信号的信噪比,从而增加分布式光纤传感器检测管线的距离。2) In the method of the present invention, the detection signal of the sensing fiber is a continuous optical pulse sequence modulated by Golay codes and their inverse codes. On the one hand, by increasing the number of pulses in the sequence, the number of sampling points for sensing fiber loss can be increased, which helps to analyze the characteristics of the new transmission loss signal in the sensing fiber caused by pipeline leakage and third-party intrusion events; on the other hand , since the signal strength of the synthesized backscattered light signal is proportional to the number of light pulses in the sequence, by increasing the number of pulses in the sequence, the signal-to-noise ratio of the synthesized backscattered light signal can be improved, thereby increasing the distributed optical fiber The sensor detects the distance of the pipeline.

因此本发明所述方法,既能够通过增强背向散射光信号的强度和提高信噪比,增加分布式光纤传感器检测管线的距离;又能够通过增加传感光纤损耗的采样频率,在更大频谱范围分析管道泄漏和可能导致管道损伤的第三方入侵事件在传感光纤上产生的损耗的特征,从而改善基于OTDR油气管道泄漏和入侵检测的分布式光纤传感器的整体性能。Therefore, the method of the present invention can not only increase the distance of the distributed optical fiber sensor detection pipeline by enhancing the intensity of the backscattered light signal and improve the signal-to-noise ratio; Scope Analyze the characteristics of the loss on the sensing fiber caused by pipeline leakage and third-party intrusion events that may cause pipeline damage, thereby improving the overall performance of distributed fiber optic sensors based on OTDR oil and gas pipeline leakage and intrusion detection.

具体实施方式 Detailed ways

如图1所示,本发明的分布式光纤传感器包括传感光纤以及分别位于传感光纤两端的背向散射光检测模块和光纤输出光功率检测模块。本发明提出的利用Golay码提高管道泄漏和入侵事件检测的分布式光纤传感器性能的方法,包括以下步骤:As shown in FIG. 1 , the distributed optical fiber sensor of the present invention includes a sensing optical fiber and a backscattered light detection module and a fiber output optical power detection module respectively located at both ends of the sensing optical fiber. The method that utilizes Golay code that the present invention proposes to improve the distributed optical fiber sensor performance of pipeline leakage and intrusion event detection comprises the following steps:

1)计算机5分别用Golay码和它们的反码调制激光脉冲发生器101,使激光脉冲发生器101输出的是幅值被Golay码和它们反码调制的光脉冲序列。1) The computer 5 uses Golay codes and their inverse codes to modulate the laser pulse generator 101, so that the output of the laser pulse generator 101 is an optical pulse sequence whose amplitude is modulated by the Golay codes and their inverse codes.

2)激光脉冲发生器101输出的光脉冲序列被耦合进传感光纤2;光脉冲序列沿传感光纤2向前传播的过程中,其幅值被管道泄漏和入侵事件产生的扰动调制;在传感光纤2的输出端,光脉冲序列信号被光纤输出光功率检测模块4采集并送计算机5进行处理;计算机5首先对光脉冲序列信号进行幅值变换,消除Golay码和它们反码的调制,变换后输出信号幅值的变化只与传感光纤2受到的外部事件的干扰有关;然后计算机5通过频谱分析,获得传感光纤2受到管道泄漏和第三方入侵事件干扰时新增的传输损耗信号变化的特征。2) The optical pulse sequence output by the laser pulse generator 101 is coupled into the sensing optical fiber 2; during the forward propagation of the optical pulse sequence along the sensing optical fiber 2, its amplitude is modulated by the disturbance generated by pipeline leakage and intrusion events; At the output end of the sensing fiber 2, the optical pulse sequence signal is collected by the optical fiber output optical power detection module 4 and sent to the computer 5 for processing; the computer 5 first performs amplitude conversion on the optical pulse sequence signal to eliminate the modulation of the Golay code and their inverse code , the change of the output signal amplitude after transformation is only related to the interference of external events on the sensing fiber 2; then the computer 5 obtains the newly added transmission loss when the sensing fiber 2 is disturbed by pipeline leakage and third-party intrusion events through spectrum analysis Characteristics of signal changes.

由于传感光纤2中传输损耗的采样信号是连续的光脉冲序列,序列中光脉冲的周期(宽度)没有任何限制,理论上可以取任意小的值,因此可以通过减小序列中光脉冲的宽度,增加传感光纤2损耗的采样频率,从而使计算机5可以在更大频谱范围分析管道泄漏和可能引起管道损伤的第三方入侵事件在传感光纤2上产生的损耗的特征。Since the sampling signal of the transmission loss in the sensing fiber 2 is a continuous light pulse sequence, the period (width) of the light pulse in the sequence is not limited, and can take any small value in theory, so it can be achieved by reducing the period (width) of the light pulse in the sequence Width, increase the sampling frequency of the loss of the sensing fiber 2, so that the computer 5 can analyze the characteristics of the loss on the sensing fiber 2 caused by pipeline leakage and third-party intrusion events that may cause pipeline damage in a larger spectrum range.

3)在传感光纤2输入端,分别采集Golay码和它们反码调制的光脉冲序列沿传感光纤2向前传播过程中产生的背向散射光信号,并合成新的背向散射光信号。3) At the input end of the sensing fiber 2, the backscattered light signals generated during the forward propagation of Golay codes and their inverse code modulated light pulse sequences along the sensing fiber 2 are collected respectively, and a new backscattered light signal is synthesized .

光脉冲序列沿传感光纤2向前传播过程中不断产生背向散射光。背向散射光沿光纤2反向传播到传感光纤2的输入端。计算机5分别用Golay码和它们的反码调制激光脉冲发生器101输出的光脉冲信号的幅值;背向散射光检测模块3分别采集Golay码和它们反码调制的光脉冲序列沿传感光纤2向前传播过程中产生的背向散射光信号,并送计算机5处理;计算机5利用上述背向散射光信号合成新的背向散射光信号;合成的背向散射光信号在空间分辨率方面与序列中单个光脉冲的背向散射光信号的相同,在信号强度方面,比单个脉冲的强,且与序列中光脉冲的个数成正比。Backscattered light is continuously generated during the forward propagation of the light pulse sequence along the sensing fiber 2 . The backscattered light propagates back along the optical fiber 2 to the input end of the sensing optical fiber 2 . The computer 5 modulates the amplitude of the light pulse signal output by the laser pulse generator 101 with the Golay code and their inverse code respectively; 2. The backscattered light signal generated in the forward propagation process is sent to the computer 5 for processing; the computer 5 uses the above backscattered light signal to synthesize a new backscattered light signal; the synthesized backscattered light signal has a higher spatial resolution It is the same as the backscattered light signal of a single light pulse in the sequence, and is stronger than that of a single pulse in terms of signal strength, and is proportional to the number of light pulses in the sequence.

3)计算机5用脉冲序列PA调制激光脉冲发生器101,码元值是1时激光脉冲发生器101输出的光脉冲的峰值功率是其允许输出的最大值,码元值是0.5时激光脉冲发生器101输出的光脉冲的峰值功率是其允许输出最大值的一半。3) The computer 5 modulates the laser pulse generator 101 with the pulse sequence PA . When the symbol value is 1, the peak power of the light pulse output by the laser pulse generator 101 is the maximum value allowed for output. When the symbol value is 0.5, the laser pulse The peak power of the light pulse output by the generator 101 is half of its maximum allowable output value.

4)PA调制的光脉冲序列沿传感光纤2传播到输出端,被光纤输出光功率检测模块[4]采集,并送计算机5进行处理。4) The optical pulse sequence modulated by P A propagates along the sensing fiber 2 to the output end, is collected by the optical fiber output optical power detection module [4], and is sent to the computer 5 for processing.

5)计算机5对光纤输出光功率检测模块4采集的光脉冲序列信号按如下规则进行幅值变换:如果光脉冲序列信号中某一脉冲在PA中对应码元的值是0.5,则该脉冲信号的幅值乘以2,否则不变。5) The computer 5 performs amplitude conversion on the optical pulse sequence signal collected by the optical fiber output optical power detection module 4 according to the following rules: if the value of a certain pulse in the optical pulse sequence signal corresponds to a symbol in PA is 0.5, then the pulse The amplitude of the signal is multiplied by 2, otherwise unchanged.

变换后光脉冲序列信号的幅值只与管道泄漏和入侵事件产生的扰动有关,从而消除了调制信号PA的影响。由于脉冲序列的长度L是2的幂次方,因此更适于进行数字信号处理。The amplitude of the transformed optical pulse sequence signal is only related to the disturbance generated by pipeline leakage and intrusion events, thus eliminating the influence of the modulated signal PA . Since the length L of the pulse sequence is a power of 2, it is more suitable for digital signal processing.

例如,PA被耦合进传感光纤2并沿光纤2向前传播,假设在传播过程中受到外部事件的干扰,光纤2输出信号如图5(a)所示,那么变换后的输出信号如图5(b)所示。从图5中可以看出,调制信号Golay码A已经被消除,其输出只与外部事件产生的干扰有关。For example, P A is coupled into the sensing fiber 2 and propagates forward along the fiber 2, assuming that it is disturbed by external events during the propagation, the output signal of fiber 2 is shown in Figure 5(a), then the transformed output signal is as Figure 5(b) shows. It can be seen from Figure 5 that the modulation signal Golay code A has been eliminated, and its output is only related to the interference generated by external events.

6)另一方面,沿传感光纤2向前传播过程中,PA调制的光脉冲序列信号不断产生背向散射光,背向散射光沿光纤2反向传播并返回到输入端,被背向散射光功率检测模块采集3并送计算机5进行处理。假设传感光纤2对单个光脉冲的背向散射光信号的响应是hf,那么输入是PA调制的光脉冲序列信号时,相应的背向散射光信号是PA和hf的卷积,记作PA*hf6) On the other hand, in the process of forward propagation along the sensing fiber 2, the light pulse sequence signal modulated by PA continuously generates backscattered light, and the backscattered light travels backward along the fiber 2 and returns to the input end, and is absorbed by the backscattered light. Collect 3 to the scattered light power detection module and send to computer 5 for processing. Assuming that the response of the sensing fiber 2 to the backscattered light signal of a single light pulse is h f , then when the input is an optical pulse train signal modulated by PA , the corresponding backscattered light signal is the convolution of PA and h f , denoted as P A *h f .

7)分别用PB

代替PA,重复步骤3)-6),背向散射光功率检测模块3采集相应的背向散射光信号,并送计算机5进行处理。7) Use P B , respectively,

The process of synthesizing a new backscattered light signal from the backscattered light:

(1)计算机5将采集的PA

的背向散射光信号相减,然后再与Golay码A进行相关运算,记作xA (1) PA and PA that computer 5 will collect
Figure GSB00000759445000125
The backscattered light signal is subtracted, and then correlated with the Golay code A, denoted as x A

xx AA == corrcorr (( AA ,, PP AA ** hh ff -- PP AA ‾‾ ** hh ff )) -- -- -- (( 66 ))

(2)计算机[5]将采集的PB的背向散射光信号相减,然后再与Golay码B进行相关运算,记作xB (2) The computer [5] will collect P B and The backscattered light signal is subtracted, and then correlated with the Golay code B, denoted as x B

xx BB == corrcorr (( BB ,, PP BB ** hh ff -- PP BB ‾‾ ** hh ff )) -- -- -- (( 77 ))

(3)将步骤(1)和(2)得到的结果相加,计算机5获得合成的背向散射光信号:(3) Add the results obtained in steps (1) and (2), and the computer 5 obtains a synthetic backscattered light signal:

ythe y == xx AA ++ xx BB

== corrcorr (( AA ,, PP AA ** hh ff -- PP AA ‾‾ ** hh ff )) ++ corrcorr (( BB ,, PP BB ** hh ff -- PP BB ‾‾ ** hh ff ))

== corrcorr (( AA ,, (( PP AA -- PP AA ‾‾ )) ** hh ff )) ++ corrcorr (( BB ,, (( PP BB -- PP BB ‾‾ )) ** hh ff ))

== corrcorr (( AA ,, 0.50.5 ×× AA ** hh ff )) ++ corrcorr (( BB ,, 0.50.5 ×× BB ** hh ff )) -- -- -- (( 66 ))

== 0.50.5 ×× (( corrcorr (( AA ,, AA )) ++ corrcorr (( BB ,, BB )) )) ** hh ff

== 0.50.5 ×× 22 LL δδ kk ** hh ff

== LL hh ff

因此,合成背向散射光信号的强度是单脉冲的背向散射光信号的L倍,且它们的空间分辨率相同。Therefore, the intensity of the synthesized backscattered light signal is L times that of the single-pulse backscattered light signal, and their spatial resolutions are the same.

在基于OTDR油气管道泄漏和入侵检测的分布式光纤传感器中,本发明提出用Golay码和它们反码调制的光脉冲序列作为探测信号,因此传感光纤2中传播的是长度L是2的幂次方的连续光脉冲序列信号。Golay码和它们反码调制的光脉冲序列被耦合进传感光纤2;光脉冲序列沿传感光纤2向前传播的过程中,其幅值被管道泄漏和入侵事件产生的扰动调制;在传感光纤2的输出端,光脉冲序列信号被光纤输出光功率检测模块4采集并送计算机5进行处理;计算机5首先对光脉冲序列信号进行幅值变换,消除Golay码和它们反码的调制,变换后输出信号幅值的变化只与传感光纤2受到的外部事件的干扰有关;计算机5通过频谱分析,获得传感光纤2受到外部事件干扰时传输损耗变化的特征。In the distributed optical fiber sensor based on OTDR oil and gas pipeline leakage and intrusion detection, the present invention proposes to use Golay codes and their inverse code modulated optical pulse sequences as detection signals, so what propagates in the sensing optical fiber 2 is that the length L is a power of 2 power continuous light pulse train signal. Golay codes and their inverse code-modulated optical pulse sequences are coupled into the sensing fiber 2; during the forward propagation of the optical pulse sequence along the sensing optical fiber 2, its amplitude is modulated by the disturbance generated by pipeline leakage and intrusion events; At the output end of the sensing fiber 2, the optical pulse sequence signal is collected by the optical fiber output optical power detection module 4 and sent to the computer 5 for processing; the computer 5 first performs amplitude conversion on the optical pulse sequence signal to eliminate the modulation of the Golay code and their inverse code, The change of the output signal amplitude after transformation is only related to the interference of the external event on the sensing fiber 2; the computer 5 obtains the characteristics of the transmission loss change when the sensing fiber 2 is disturbed by the external event through spectrum analysis.

另一方面,光脉冲序列沿传感光纤2向前传播过程中不断产生背向散射光。背向散射光沿光纤2反向传播并返回到传感光纤2的输入端。计算机5分别用Golay码和它们的反码调制激光脉冲发生器101输出的光脉冲信号的幅值;背向散射光检测模块3分别接收Golay码和它们反码调制的光脉冲序列沿传感光纤2向前传播过程中产生的背向散射光信号,并送计算机5处理;计算机5利用上述背向散射光信号合成新的背向散射光信号;合成背向散射光信号在空间分辨率方面与序列中单个光脉冲的背向散射光信号的相同,在信号强度方面,比单个脉冲的强,且与序列中光脉冲的个数成正比。On the other hand, backscattered light is continuously generated during the forward propagation of the light pulse sequence along the sensing fiber 2 . The backscattered light propagates back along the optical fiber 2 and returns to the input end of the sensing optical fiber 2 . The computer 5 modulates the amplitude of the optical pulse signal output by the laser pulse generator 101 with the Golay code and their inverse code respectively; 2. The backscattered light signal produced in the forward propagation process is sent to the computer 5 for processing; the computer 5 uses the above-mentioned backscattered light signal to synthesize a new backscattered light signal; the synthetic backscattered light signal has the same spatial resolution as The backscattered light signal of a single light pulse in the sequence is the same, but stronger than that of a single pulse in terms of signal strength, and is proportional to the number of light pulses in the sequence.

由于传感光纤2中探测信号是连续的光脉冲序列,它也是传感光纤2损耗的采样信号。因此,可以通过减少光脉冲序列中脉冲的宽度,提高传感光纤2损耗的采样频率,从而使系统可以在更大频谱范围分析外部事件导致传感光纤2新增损耗的特征;而且,光脉冲宽度的减少,有助于提高合成背向散射光信号的空间分辨率。另一方面,可以通过增加光脉冲序列中脉冲的个数,增加合成背向散射光信号的强度和提高信噪比,从而增加分布式光纤传感器检测管线的距离;而且,通过增加序列中脉冲的个数,可以增加了传感光纤2传输损耗的采样点数,有助于对传感光纤2上新增损耗特征的分析。Since the detection signal in the sensing fiber 2 is a continuous light pulse sequence, it is also a sampling signal of the loss of the sensing fiber 2 . Therefore, the sampling frequency of the loss of the sensing fiber 2 can be increased by reducing the pulse width in the optical pulse sequence, so that the system can analyze the characteristics of the additional loss of the sensing fiber 2 caused by external events in a larger spectral range; moreover, the optical pulse The reduction in width helps to improve the spatial resolution of the synthesized backscattered light signal. On the other hand, by increasing the number of pulses in the optical pulse sequence, increasing the intensity of the synthetic backscattered light signal and improving the signal-to-noise ratio, thereby increasing the distance of the distributed optical fiber sensor detection pipeline; and, by increasing the number of pulses in the sequence The number can increase the number of sampling points for the transmission loss of the sensing fiber 2, which is helpful for the analysis of the new loss characteristics on the sensing fiber 2.

因此本发明所述方法,既能够通过增强背向散射光信号的强度和提高信噪比,增加分布式光纤传感器检测管线的距离;又能够通过增加传感光纤2损耗的采样频率,在更大频谱范围分析管道泄漏和第三方入侵事件在传感光纤2上产生的损耗的特征,从而改善基于OTDR油气管道泄漏和入侵检测的分布式光纤传感器的整体性能。Therefore, the method of the present invention can increase the distance of the distributed optical fiber sensor detection pipeline by enhancing the intensity of the backscattered light signal and improving the signal-to-noise ratio; Spectrum Scope analyzes the characteristics of the losses generated by pipeline leakage and third-party intrusion events on the sensing fiber 2, thereby improving the overall performance of distributed fiber optic sensors based on OTDR oil and gas pipeline leakage and intrusion detection.
