Detection of leaks and other anomalies with AI
Entity:
Given the impossibility of sensing all the points of an installation, the detection of leaks or anomalies in H2 production, storage and usage systems through the use of artificial intelligence techniques uses the measurements available at certain nodes of the network to infer whether there is a leak or loss at some point in the network where there is no measuring equipment. H2 concentration levels, pressure differentials or other relevant parameters can be estimated to detect and locate possible leaks or safety hazards.
Challenges met
- Monitoring of large networks with discrete measurement points
- Troubleshooting in non-accessible areas
- Improves reaction time for troubleshooting and troubleshooting malfunctions
Scope of application
H2 transport and storage: Continuous monitoring for early detection of abnormal conditions
