Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure belongs to the field of municipal sewage pipe networks of the municipal engineering, and particularly relates to a sewage pipe network hydraulic model building method based on three-dimensional geographic information.


BACKGROUND

An urban sewage pipe network constitutes an important urban infrastructure for maintaining urban water environment and preventing the spread of diseases, and is crucial to guaranteeing urban public health and ecological health. In recent years, with the increasing population and accelerating urbanization, spatial scale and structural complexity of sewage pipe networks have become intensified significantly, and relevant systems are aged, which make the sewage pipe network being subjected to many problems in the operation and management process, and some typical problems thereof include pipe blockage, pipe leakage, rainwater and sewage misconnection, illegal discharge, sewage overflow, etc. These problems seriously pollute urban water environment, threaten urban water safety, and affect normal operation of downstream sewage treatment plants, and they are the fundamental cause of urban black and odorous water bodies and need to be solved urgently.


One method to solve the above problems is to establish an online monitoring system of the sewage pipe networks, and install sensors at key positions of the sewage pipe networks to monitor water depth and flow in real time, so that abnormal events such as blockage, leakage and illegal discharge can be effectively alerted and positioned. However, monitoring sensors of sewage systems are often costly and difficult to maintain, therefore, they are unable to cover the entire sewage pipe network with high density in a large scale, but only to provide abnormal alarms and diagnoses in a small area covered by monitoring points instead. Therefore, the method usually needs to be combined with an accurate sewage pipe network model, and determine whether abnormalities have occurred by simulating dynamic behavior of hydraulic variables and comparing the dynamic behavior with limited monitoring point data. The sewage pipe network model can also simulate hydraulic parameters of any position of a pipe network, so as to predict changes in water depth and flow at non-monitoring points, and help diagnose and locate abnormalities at the non-monitoring points.


The accuracy of a sewage pipe network hydraulic model will greatly affect carly warning performance of an online monitoring system in the method, which is a key constituent of the online monitoring system. In order to ensure the accuracy of the hydraulic model, flow data with high spatial and temporal resolution are needed to check the model, which is difficult to obtain in actual projects. In order to solve this problem, an offline calibration method is commonly used, which uses limited monitoring data to calculate and determine the flow time series of each manhole node. In addition, assuming that the overall flow during the same period of time of different days should be generally approximate, some researches shorten calculation time by using an expected value of a single-day flow time series to represent the flow changes of different days, but the method has a great defect, that is, it fails to take into account the multi-solution nature of the sewage flow time series obtained by optimization, more specifically, the method can only ensure simulated values at the monitoring points are approximate to monitoring values, but cannot ensure whether simulated values at the non-monitoring points are approximate to the real situation, because different combinations of the simulated values at the non-monitoring points can ensure that results of the monitoring points are consistent, it is difficult to determine a specific and unique flow set capable of reflecting real hydraulic condition of the pipe network, and the efficiency and accuracy of the online monitoring system of the sewage pipe network are seriously influenced.


A common way to solve the multi-solution problem is to use prior information to constrain the check results, while the traditional method usually distributes the flow according to pipeline length and catchment area, because a longer pipeline and a larger catchment area always result in the influent of more sewage. However, such presetting does not necessarily correspond to the actual situation. For example, although a sewage pipeline for transmission is long, its influent of sewage is very little due to low density of surrounding users; while pipeline erected in areas with high density of population, in spite of very short, suffer a large volume of sewage. Similarly, a larger catchment area may have less populated buildings, resulting in a lower volume of sewage. Therefore, if the pipe length and the catchment area are directly used as prior information to check the sewage pipe network model, the flow check results may deviate from reality, thus resulting in false alarm and missing report of the monitoring system. A more reasonable method is to use the corresponding population as prior information, because the population, that is, the number of users, is closely associated with the sewage discharge volume, but the population data is more difficult to obtain than the pipeline length, and has wide fluctuations, making it hard to be directly applied to the actual projects.


SUMMARY

In order to overcome the defects in the background art and effectively solve the multi-solution problem arising from the flow check of a sewage pipe network, the present disclosure firstly provides a sewage pipe network hydraulic model building method based on three-dimensional geographic information, specifically, dividing the sewage pipe network into regions according to the three-dimensional geographic information, estimating the population corresponding to buildings in a sub-region, and distributing the population to the nearest manhole mode of the sewage pipe network, so that the prior information of the population corresponding to manhole node is obtained; then using an optimization algorithm to determine the total influent time series of all manhole nodes in the sub-region based on the population proportion; and finally optimizing and calculating the flow adjustment coefficient for each manhole based on the determined total influent time series, so that the influent time series of each manhole node is determined, and the sewage pipe network hydraulic model is built accurately.

Preferably, the simulated sewage pipe network hydraulic parameter values include simulated liquid level, flow rate and other hydraulic parameters.


Practical application of the method in the present disclosure in engineering will be described below in the form of simulating actual examples, which do not represent realistic examples, but the illustration of these examples only indicates that the present disclosure can be applied to engineering practice and can obtain relevant technical effects.


The sewage networks in the two cities of Benk and Xiuzhou will be taken as examples for illustration. The sewage network in Benk City (denoted as BKN) consists of 64 manhole nodes, 64 sewage pipes and a sewage outlet, the total length of the sewage pipes is approximately 9.4 kilometers, the sewage pipe slope is 0.65% on average, the total population in the area is about 20,500, and 3 liquid level meters and 1 flow meter (positions thereof are shown in FIG. 5) are installed in the BNK sewage pipe network; and the sewage network in Xiuzhou City (denoted as XZN) consists of 1,214 manhole nodes, 1,214 sewage pipes and a sewage outlet, the total length of the sewage pipes is approximately 86 kilometers, the sewage pipe slope is 0.27% on average, the total population in the area is about 107,500, and 8 liquid level meters and 3 flow meters are installed in the BNK sewage pipe network (positions thereof are shown in FIG. 6).


The BKN sewage pipe network and the XZN sewage pipe network have separate monitoring instruments that record historical data without rainfall for 31 days in a certain month. The time step is 30 minutes, and data of 1488(31×24×2) time steps are used for each monitoring points to perform simulation; the hot start time Tw of the sewage pipe network hydraulic model is 3 days, the hydraulic parameters are checked in the following 14 days, and the check results are verified in the final 14 days, where data of 1344(28×24×2) time steps are used for each monitoring point in the check-verification process. For the BKN case and the XZN case, the average populations η per building volume are 0.96 and 0.97 np/(100m3), the occupancy rates Ar are both 100%, the conversion coefficients TFj(t) between water consumption and sewage discharge volume are both 0.8, and the minimum value kmax and the maximum value kmin of the flow adjustment coefficient for the manhole node are both 1.15 and 0.85. The two optimization stages of parameter check are calculated by using the Borg evolutionary algorithm, the population size is set to be 500, the maximum number of iterations is set to be 100000, and other parameters adopt default values.



FIG. 7 illustrates the density distribution of the population associated with the manhole nodes in the two cases.



FIGS. 8-23 illustrate the simulation results of the verification stage for BKN and XZN cases. In order to evaluate the effect, the results of the method in the present disclosure were compared with the conventional method. Considering the difficulty of information acquisition, the conventional method in the following embodiments selects the pipe length as the prior information for calculation, and the other parts are the same as the method in the present disclosure (that is, both of the methods adopt the two-stage optimization steps and the identical parameter settings, except for the prior information).


As shown in FIGS. 8-15, the observed values of the monitoring points of BKN and XZN are directly compared with the simulated values of the two methods, and absolute errors thereof, one flow monitoring point and one liquid level monitoring point are selected for each case as the example, data of 7 days at the verification stage are selected, and data of the 18th and 24th days are selected for comparison; as shown in FIGS. 8-9, for the flow monitoring points of the BKN case, the mean absolute error value between the method in the present disclosure and the observed value is 8.78%, while the same of the conventional method is 9.67%; as shown in FIGS. 10-11, for the liquid level monitoring points of the BKN case, the mean absolute error values between the method in the present disclosure and the conventional method are 3.57% and 3.63%, respectively. For XZN cases, the mean absolute error values of the simulated flow values between the method in the present disclosure and the conventional method are 6.29% and 6.46%, respectively, and the mean absolute error values of the liquid level values between the method in the present disclosure and the conventional method are 4.50% and 7.60%, respectively; as shown in FIGS. 16-17, it can be seen from the comparison between the two methods of the simulated values and the observed values on a certain day (verification stage) of two monitoring points that the simulated value of the method in the present disclosure are closer to the real observed values than the conventional method.


In order to perform an overall evaluation of the simulation conditions of all monitoring points, coefficient of determination R2, Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient (NSE) and Kling-Gupta efficiency coefficient (KGE) of all monitoring points are identified, as shown in Tables 1-2.


It can be seen that, for the BKN case, the evaluation results of the two methods are less different; for the XZN cases, the evaluation result of the method in the present disclosure is superior to that of the conventional method, and for D1-D5 monitoring points of the XZN case, the NSE value of the conventional method is obviously lower (lower than 0.8), while the result of the method in the present disclosure remains excellent (higher than 0.85), which proves that the hydraulic simulation effects of monitoring points of the large-scale pipe network in the method in the present disclosure are superior to those of the conventional method.

As shown in FIGS. 18-21, the simulation effects of the non- monitoring points of the BKN and XZN cases are compared, and due to the lack of direct observation data of the non-monitoring points, the data of intelligent water meters of the water supply nodes are adopted as standards for performing comparison. According to engineering experience, the sewage flow value should be about 80% of the water consumption of its associated water supply nodes. As can be seen from FIGS. 18-21, the simulated values of the conventional method at R1, R3, and R4 are always greater than the water consumption data, while the simulated value at R2 is significantly lower than the water consumption data, both of which are inconsistent with actual engineering experience. On the contrary, the sewage flows value simulated by the method in the present disclosure are slightly lower that the corresponding water consumption data, which is consistent with the engineering practice, indicating that the method in the present disclosure can more accurately simulate hydraulic variables at the manhole nodes without a liquid level meter or a flow meter.


As shown in FIGS. 22-23, the distribution of the water consumption and the sewage discharge conversion coefficient TF of the manhole nodes having the water consumption data corresponding to the water supply nodes is statistically identified. It can be seen that the TF values of the conventional method are dispersedly distributed in the parts far lower than 1 and far greater than 1, which is inconsistent with the actual situation; while the TF values of the method in the present disclosure are intensively distributed in the parts slightly lower than 1, which is consistent with the engineering practice, indicating that the method in the present disclosure can effectively solve the multi-solution problem and can accurately simulate the sewage hydraulic parameters at the positions without monitoring information.


Therefore, by means of the sewage pipe network hydraulic model building method based on three-dimensional geographic information provided in the present disclosure, the three-dimensional map is adopted to estimate the population corresponding to the buildings and establish the physical connection between the buildings and the sewage manhole nodes, which provides prior information for checking the sewage pipe network hydraulic model without sufficient monitoring information, the total influent flow of the sewage pipe network and the flow adjustment coefficient of each manhole node are determined by using a two-step optimization method, accurate simulation of the liquid level and flow parameters of the entire sewage pipe network is achieved, the multi-solution problem arising from the check of the sewage pipe network is solved, thereby providing important technical support for solving such problems as pipe blockage, pipe leakage, rainwater and sewage misconnection, illegal discharge, and sewage overflow, and having practical engineering application value.


Although the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure have been described, additional alterations and modifications to those embodiments may be made by those skilled in the art once the basic inventive concept is apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferential embodiments and all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present disclosure.
