A leakage monitoring system of pipeline in heating network

Supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA) is used to monitor the operating data of heating network. But it can do data acquisition and some simple operations only. So in this paper with the data collected by SCADA a leakage monitoring system of pipeline in heating network is designed by the Matble graphical user interface program (GUI). The theoretical basis of this monitoring is the heating network pressure graph theory and the theory of genetic algorithm. With the theory of genetic algorithm the data col-lected by SCADA could be optimized. The optimization avoid the erroneous data which due to measurement error. With the heating network graph theory the leakage monitoring system of pipeline could identify if there is a leakage in the operating conditions in heating pipe network. In the leakage monitoring system, the first step is to collect the initial data which optimized by genetic algorithm as a standard data and these data are stored as a fixed value. After that this system collects the real-time data of heating network and optimizes these data. Finally, the system compares the optimizing real-time data and the fixed value to determine whether there is a leakage. With the experiment the monitoring system which designed in this paper is proved to be very useful in leakage discrimination.
