Abstract
Pressure pipelines are widely used in the energy and transportation fields for conveying natural gas, water, etc. Under complex and harsh conditions with long-term operation, this easily leads to leakage, threatening the safe and stable operation of transportation systems. Although acoustic sensors support non-destructive leakage detection, their accuracy is restricted by noise interference and minor leakage uncertainties, and existing systems lack a targeted integration design for pipeline scenarios. To address this, the micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) is specifically designed as an MEMS microphone array integrated system (MEMS-MAIS), which is applied for pipeline leakage detection through data fusion at different levels. First, a dedicated MEMS microphone array system is designed to realize high-sensitivity collection of leakage acoustic data. In addition, the integrated feature…
