A Model of Pipeline Flow Monitoring in Wide Area Wireless Sensor Network
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Engineering and Technology - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Designing a model for pipeline flow monitoring using Wide Area Network (WAN) as well as low power wireless sensor nodes has been the general goal of design engineers. Such network desires to have a Wide Area Wireless Sensor Network (WAWSN) that will run on little power (if possible, none at all) thereby saving cost, and the inconveniences of having to replace batteries in some difficult to access areas of usage. This paper then developed a Structural Monitoring Hierarchy (SMH) starting with pipeline design considerations, pipeline energy models, fluid pressure losses, fluid flow modelling, event location model and WAN WSN output or battery model for sustainable transceiver energy consumption for a typical node deployment architecture. By studying the energy consumption map of the transceiver of a WSN node battery model, this research developed an energy consumption model of the transceiver unit of a typical sensor node battery. Important metrics like Depth of Charge (DOC), State of Charge (SOC), Load current and Load Voltage were derived and plotted using MATLAB. The mathematical characterizations for the pipeline designs, flow equations, and pipeline leak detection and localization parameters (event location) were captured in the simulation using a standard reference guide and related design assumptions. Proteus 7.6 ISIS was used to implement the unified behavioural model of the Wide Area Wireless Sensor Network based pipeline monitoring. Simulations done on the model shows that the model can work.
