A kind of in-line recognition method for multi-phase (oil, gas and water) flow type
The present invention relates to a kind of flow type identification method, the ONLINE RECOGNITION method of oil gas water multiphase flow type in specifically a kind of level or the tipping tube.
Traditional flow type identification method utilizes on-the-spot flow parameter to determine flow pattern mainly according to flow regime map or change of flow relational expression.Because flow parameter needs the problem that solves often in production reality, so classic method can't be used widely.The method that adopts is according to pressure differential pressure or the isoparametric wave process of void fraction, to utilize the pattern-recognition scheduling theory to realize the Intelligent Recognition of flow pattern at present.Can obtain high recognition in the air water diphasic flow system of this method in the minimum velocity scope.But, because the difference of oil, water rerum natura and have the relative distributional pattern of multiple profit in the oil gas water multiphase, the moving process of oil gas water multiphase than air water diphasic flow process complexity many, the intelligent identification Method of air water two phase flow pattern can't be generalized in the oil gas water multiphase.There are two distinct issues in present flow type identification method research: the information source of (one) flow pattern identification is single, and promptly the wave process according to a kind of parameter (pressure differential pressure or void fraction) carries out, so reliability, repeatability and accuracy rate are all lower; (2) single to the feature extraction of information source (parameter fluctuation process) and analytical technology or method, can not obtain to reflect the feature of flow pattern rule more comprehensively, promptly can not make full use of the information that obtains of measuring.
The objective of the invention is to overcome the defective of above-mentioned prior art, a kind of in-line recognition method for multi-phase (oil, gas and water) flow type is proposed, according to pressure and pressure difference signal feature, designed the flow pattern recognition rule, improved the real-time of flow pattern identification effectively, designed the fusion method of flow pattern recognition rule and mode identification method simultaneously, utilized the information in the various measuring-signals as much as possible, made the accuracy of identification and applicability step major step forward.
The in-line recognition method for multi-phase (oil, gas and water) flow type that the present invention takes at first picks up the flow parameter signal of oil and gas pipes with sensor, carry out according to the following steps then:
1) carry out the auto adapted filtering of signal: designed the adaptive filter algorithm of signal, to measuring-signal--1 pressure and 1 pressure difference signal carry out filtering, to improve the signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) of measuring-signal.
2) to through 1) pressure and pressure difference signal after handling carry out Characteristic Extraction: adopted statistics, spectrum analysis and determinacy chaos method.To pressure signal, Fourier power spectrum, root mean square and fractal dimension characteristic quantity have been extracted; To pressure difference signal, the characteristic quantities such as general power spectrum of average, Fourier power spectrum and 0-10Hz have been extracted.
3) carry out flow pattern identification:
If the characteristic parameter of pressure and pressure difference signal satisfies a kind of recognition rule of flow pattern, then can judge immediately:
The size of composing according to the general power of pressure-difference fluctuation is divided into two kinds of situations: annular flow, intermittent flow and intermittent flow, bubble flow, stratified flow
(if the general power spectrum>0.02 of pressure-difference fluctuation), so
(1) this flow operating mode belongs to annular flow or intermittent flow, otherwise,
(2) this flow operating mode belongs to intermittent flow or stratified flow or bubble flow
Every kind of situation is at first applied mechanically the rule that flow pattern is discerned, satisfy a flow pattern rule, can be defined as the flow pattern kind of this operating mode;
To (1) group
If 1. satisfy:
[(time equal pressure reduction 〉=1.270) and (root mean square pressure reduction≤(equal pressure reduction during 1.450+ * (equal pressure reduction of 1.956-0.525 * time)))]
So, this flow operating mode belongs to annular flow;
If 2. satisfy:
[(time equal pressure reduction<1.150) or (root mean square pressure reduction 〉=-0.850+0.829 * time equal pressure reduction)]
So, this flow operating mode belongs to intermittent flow;
Organize (2):
If 1. satisfy:
[general power spectrum 〉=(equal pressure reduction during 0.796+ * (the equal pressure reduction of 2.052+ * (the equal pressure reduction of 1.714-0.450 * time))) of pressure-difference fluctuation]
So, this flow operating mode belongs to intermittent flow;
If 2. satisfy:
(fractal dimension of pressure surge 〉=1.800)
So, this flow operating mode belongs to stratified flow;
Otherwise enter following step.
4) adopt study vector quantization pattern classifier identification flow pattern: utilize the input feature vector of the fourier spectra of pressure surge process as sorter, calculate the distance of this input feature vector and quantization vector, seek minimum value wherein then, the attribute of minimum value institute corresponding templates quantization vector is exactly the flow pattern classification of this operating mode.
This method has improved the real-time of flow pattern ONLINE RECOGNITION effectively, has designed the fusion of flow pattern recognition rule determining method and mode identification method, can utilize the multiple information in the various measuring-signals, has improved the accuracy of flow pattern identification.
