A novel wavelet threshold denoising and deep belief network fault detection algorithm

Abstract

For oil pipeline leakage fault detection problems, a novel negative pressure wave (NPW) leak detection method based on wavelet threshold denoising and deep belief network (Wavelet-DBN) is proposed. Firstly, the wavelet threshold denoising method is used to deal with the sample pressure signal, and the results of wavelet denoising with different wavelet basis functions and different decomposition levels are compared. The optimal parameters are selected for wavelet denoising and the characteristic information of a pipeline pressure signal is extracted. Secondly, in order to improve the accuracy of the pipeline leakage monitoring method based on NPW, the deep belief network algorithms are proposed to classify and identify the NPW sample signals. Finally, the sample data are collected from the industrial oil pipeline leakage experiment. The simulation experimental results show that the proposed method has a higher accuracy rate than other traditional machine learning methods, such as support vector machines, and reduces the false alarm rate of oil pipeline leakage monitoring.
