Design and Implementation of Pipeline

Monitoring System Using Acceleration-

Based Wireless Sensor Network
ABSTRACT
• The main goal of our project is to introduce the application of
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) in long distance
infrastructure monitoring in particular in pipeline
infrastructure monitoring. A Micro-Electro-Mechanical
Systems (MEMS) based wireless sensor network (WSN) is
developed for nondestructive monitoring of pipeline systems.
It incorporates MEMS accelerometers for measuring flow-
induced vibration on the surface of a pipe to determine the
change in water pressure caused by rupture and the damage
location. This work presents an experimental investigation of
the relationship between flow-induced vibration and the
pressure fluctuations. The use of Wireless Sensor Network to
continuously monitor water system performance to detect any
failure or security breach has been explored.
INTRODUCTION
• Pipeline systems are widely used for distribution
and transportation of petroleum, natural gas, water,
and sewage.
• Leaks and ruptures due to an aging and fast
decaying pipeline system infrastructure cost
millions of dollars a year; they also make clear the
necessity for continuous, automatic monitoring
systems that can provide early detection and early
warning of defects, such as corrosion and leaks,
before they reach the magnitude of a major disaster.
EXISTING SYSTEM
• With the use of real-time acquisition
using heterogeneous pressure sensors,
communication and in network
processing.
PROPOSED SYSTEM

• In this system, we design wireless sensor networks

can detect, localize, and identify bursts and leaks in
pipeline systems. Fluid Flow sensors can be
mounted on the pipelines for measuring water flow
volume that propagate along the pipes. A network of
flow sensors provide a real-time continuous and
automatic monitoring of the health of the pipeline
systems. Leakage detection sensors detects any
moisture at the surround of pipes by sensing
variance in impedance of the probes. WSN provides
exact location of the damage and failure to achieve
reasonable performance for real-time monitoring.
