Leak Localization in Water Distribution Networks using Deep Learning

摘要

This paper explores the use of deep learning for leak localization in Water Distribution Networks (WDNs) using pressure measurements. By using a training data set including enough samples of all possible leak localizations, a Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) can be used to learn the different pressure maps that carachterized each leak localization. The generalization accuracy has validated and evaluated by means of a testing data set. All of considered training, validation, and also testing data include leak size uncertainty, nodal water demand uncertainty and sensor noise. An innovative approach is proposed to convert every pressure residuals map to an image in order to apply a CNN. In addition with the purpose of filtering the effects of uncertainty and noise a time horizon Bayesian reasoning approach is used over each time instant classification output by the CNN. The Hanoi District Metered Area (DMA) is considered as a case study to illustrate the performance of the proposed leak localization method.
