Description

分布式光纤油气管线警戒传感系统 技术领域  Distributed optical fiber oil and gas pipeline warning sensing system
本发明属于光纤传感、油气管线报警技术领域,尤其涉及分布式光纤油气管线警戒传 感系统。  The invention belongs to the technical field of optical fiber sensing and oil and gas pipeline alarming, and particularly relates to a distributed optical fiber oil and gas pipeline alarm sensing system.
背景技术 Background technique
光纤和光纤光栅传感器是近几年高速发展的新型传感器, 光纤和光纤光栅传感器可 集信息的传感与传输于一体,与传统的传感器相比它具有很多优势:如防爆,抗电磁干扰, 抗腐蚀,抗震动,耐高温,体积小, 重量轻,灵活方便, 特别能在恶劣环境下使用。  Fiber optic and fiber Bragg grating sensors are new types of sensors that have been developed at a high speed in recent years. Fiber optic and fiber Bragg grating sensors can integrate information sensing and transmission. Compared with traditional sensors, they have many advantages: such as explosion-proof, anti-electromagnetic interference, and anti-electromagnetic interference. Corrosion, anti-vibration, high temperature resistance, small size, light weight, flexible and convenient, especially for use in harsh environments.
分布式光纤传感器除了以上上述的优点外, 它能够测量传感光纤所在的任何一点的 信号, 目前市场广泛应用的有光时域反射仪 (0TDR)、 光频域反射仪 (0FDR)和各种干涉仪, 例如 M-Z干涉仪等。 分布式光纤传感器属于强度检测, 它们共同存在的问题是易受光源 起伏、 光纤弯曲、 器件老化等影响它们的测量精度和可靠性。  In addition to the above advantages, distributed fiber optic sensors can measure the signal at any point where the sensing fiber is located. Currently, the optical time domain reflectometer (0TDR), optical frequency domain reflectometer (0FDR) and various types are widely used in the market. Interferometers, such as MZ interferometers. Distributed fiber optic sensors are strength detection. They have the common problem of being susceptible to fluctuations in light source, fiber bending, and aging of devices.
光纤光栅传感器克服上述易受光源起伏、 光纤弯曲、 器件老化等影响问题, 它属于 波长编码, 不受光源起伏、 光纤弯曲、 器件老化等影响, 由此有很高的可靠性、 稳定性 和重复性。 由于光纤光栅传感装置是准分布式的, 它的不足是它只能测量光纤光栅传感 器所在的地方。 一般的光纤光栅传感检测系统是波长编码, 如日本专利 11-061524 每一 个光纤光栅具有不同的中心波长, 由此可以测量的数量是有限的。 也有用同一波长的如 武汉理工大学发表的一篇文章, 由于每一个光纤光栅传感器要求有较高的反射率, 被检 测的数量也是有限的。  The FBG sensor overcomes the above-mentioned problems that are susceptible to fluctuations in the light source, bending of the fiber, aging of the device, etc. It is wavelength-coded and is not affected by undulation of the light source, bending of the fiber, aging of the device, etc., thereby having high reliability, stability and repetition. Sex. Since the fiber Bragg grating sensing device is quasi-distributed, its disadvantage is that it can only measure where the fiber Bragg grating sensor is located. A general fiber Bragg grating sensing system is wavelength-coded. For example, in Japanese Patent 11-061524, each fiber grating has a different center wavelength, and thus the number that can be measured is limited. An article published by Wuhan University of Technology at the same wavelength is also used. Since each FBG sensor requires a high reflectance, the number of samples to be detected is also limited.
分布式光纤传感检测系统光时域反射仪 (0TDR)、 光频域反射仪 (0FDR)的信号来自光 纤中对温度和压力敏感的拉曼 (Raman) 和布里渊 (Bri llouin) 散射, 信号小, 为了提 高信噪比, 需要经过多次测量取平均, 并且这两种散射对震动敏感性低。 M— Z干涉检测 系统敏感性高, 但稳定性差, 对被检测物体定位困难。  Distributed Optical Fiber Sensing Detection System Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (0TDR), Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (0FDR) signals from temperature and pressure sensitive Raman and Brilluin scattering in the fiber, signal Small, in order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, it is necessary to take multiple measurements and average, and these two kinds of scattering have low sensitivity to vibration. The M-Z interference detection system has high sensitivity, but the stability is poor, and it is difficult to locate the detected object.
中石油管道公司描述了对检测输油气管线的一种负压设备; 输油气管线的泄漏和盗 油, 会使得泄漏地段输油气管线两端的压力产生变化, 可以发现泄漏和泄漏的地点。 这 种装置可以发现油气已经大量泄漏时的情况, 而不能够预报即将发生盗油的事件。  PetroChina Pipeline Co., Ltd. described a negative pressure device for detecting oil and gas pipelines; leakage and stolen oil from oil and gas pipelines will cause changes in pressure at both ends of the oil and gas pipelines in the leaking area, and locations where leaks and leaks can be found. This device can detect the situation when the oil and gas has been leaked a lot, and cannot predict the event of the stolen oil.
输油气管道打孔盗油第一步需要把管道周围的泥土挖开, 挖土过程就会有震动, 第 二步是对输油气管道打孔, 这又会产生震动。  The first step in drilling oil and gas pipelines is to dig up the soil around the pipeline, and there will be vibration during the excavation process. The second step is to punch the oil and gas pipeline, which will cause vibration.
到目前为止, 国内外市场上尚无一种切实可行的输油气管线警戒传感装置 总之, 习知技术存在的问题有: 一是分布式光纤传感装置光时域反射仪 (0TDR)、 光 频域反射仪 (0FDR)由于对震动敏感低不适合输油气管线警戒传感装置中在线检测; 二是 M-Z干涉仪误报率高, 定位困难, 实际应用有距离, 三是输油气管线报警的负压检测不能 对所发事件进行预警。 So far, there is no practical oil and gas pipeline warning sensor device in the domestic and foreign markets. In short, the problems of the prior art are as follows: First, the distributed optical fiber sensing device optical time domain reflectometer (0TDR) and optical frequency domain reflectometer (0FDR) are not suitable for the oil and gas pipeline warning device because they are sensitive to vibration. On-line detection; Second, the MZ interferometer has a high false alarm rate, difficult positioning, and practical application of distance. Third, the negative pressure detection of the oil and gas pipeline alarm cannot provide an early warning of the incident.

若外界有一个扰动, 系统中光纤传播的反射光会有一个频率改变, 经由监视装置, 检测出其扰动类型和位置。 其中扰动类型由频谱确定, 位置由频率表征的反射镜确定。 扰动效应:  If there is a disturbance in the outside world, the reflected light propagating from the fiber in the system will have a frequency change, and the type and location of the disturbance will be detected through the monitoring device. The type of disturbance is determined by the spectrum and the position is determined by a mirror characterized by frequency. Disturbance effect:

Li,i+i=L+ALsinQt 则差频《0i不改变, 而所有的差频 j〉i都将有一个附加的相位差Li,i+i=L+ALsinQt Then the difference frequency "0i does not change, and all the difference frequencies j>i will have an additional phase difference.
Φ =2 π n A Lsin Q t/ A Φ = 2 π n A Lsin Q t/ A

If the difference frequency ω (π to ω oi is not changed, and ω oj, when j> i there is a frequency change, the disturbance is generated in the interval i Between a low reflectivity fiber grating mirror and an i+1th low reflectivity fiber grating mirror.
