Abstract

Boiler tube burst is the main reason for the unplanned shutdown of thermal power plants. The time difference can be estimated and analyzed by the acoustic signal generated when the boiler tube leaks, and the time difference can be converted into a distance difference to locate the leakage point. The accuracy of positioning depends on the accuracy of the time difference estimation, and the various background noises produced by the complex production environment of the boiler and the impulse noise generated by the uncertain factors in the signal acquisition circuit have a non-negligible effect on the accuracy of the time difference estimation. Aiming at the problem that the signal does not have obvious second-order statistics in the environment of impulse noise, a Wiener weighted adaptive time difference estimation method based on median filtering is proposed. First, the median filter is used to remove the impulse points in the noise to make it obey the normal distribution and have second-order statistics; Next, select the generalized correlation method based on the Wiener weighting function of linear minimum mean square error to eliminate the influence of noise; Finally, according to the characteristics of the generalized correlation method that relies on the prior knowledge of the signal but the ability to suppress noise and the characteristics of the adaptive method that the ability to suppress noise is weak but does not rely on the prior knowledge of the signal, the two methods are combined to form a Wiener-weighted generalized correlation and its adaptive method. Simulation experiments prove that the Wiener weighted adaptive time difference estimation method based on median filtering has better estimation performance under impulsive noise than the adaptive minimum average p-norm method based on fractional low-order statistics.
