    摘要: Disclosed is a method and an Internet of Things (IoT) system for intelligent detection of cathodic protection in a smart gas pipeline. The method may include: obtaining pipeline potential data of a first preset point; obtaining environmental detection data of a second preset point; determining, based on the environmental detection data, a device corrosion degree of the first preset point; obtaining a soil resistivity of a third preset point; determining, based on the soil resistivity, a resistance distribution; obtaining pipeline data and cathodic protection data; determining, based on the pipeline data and the cathodic protection data, an IR drop distribution; determining a cathodic protection effect based on the device corrosion degree, the resistance distribution, the IR drop distribution, and the pipeline potential data; and in response to determining that the cathodic protection effect does not meet a preset condition, issuing an early warning prompt.

    摘要: The present invention discloses an optimization method for natural gas pipeline operation under the carbon neutrality target. From the perspective of energy structure adjustment, the present invention proposes a complete low-carbon and low-consumption optimization model of long-distance natural gas transmission network, which is used for fine calculation of multi-energy carbon emissions and energy consumption in the transportation process of natural gas pipeline network; according to different energy structure backgrounds, the corresponding objective function for minimum carbon emissions is established, the optimization algorithm is adopted to solve the objective function for minimum carbon emissions and work out the optimal scheduling scheme. The present invention can realize energy conservation and emission reduction in the process of pipeline transportation and provide technical support for achieving the target of “peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality” in the entire natural gas industry of China as early as possible.

    摘要: A method and an Internet of Things system for corrosion supervision of a gas pipeline are provided. The method includes: obtaining inspection data of a gas pipeline in a gas pipeline network; constructing a first pipeline diagram of the gas pipeline network based on the inspection data; determining a corrosion probability of the gas pipeline based on the first pipeline diagram using a corrosion probability model; determining one or more estimated pipeline corrosion regions based on the corrosion probability of the gas pipeline; obtaining in-depth inspection data of the gas pipeline by performing in-depth inspection on at least one of the estimated pipeline corrosion regions; determining corrosion features of the one or more estimated pipeline corrosion regions based on gas monitoring data and the in-depth inspection data of the gas pipeline; and determining a repair plan based on the one or more estimated pipeline corrosion regions and/or the corrosion features.
