Abstract
Crude Oil Spills from subsea pipelines are typically detected after thousands of barrels of oil are spilled into the ocean, affecting marine life, reaching nearby shores and polluting land masses. The Underwater Robotic Oil Spill Surveillance (UROSS) system has been designed to provide constant and autonomous spill surveillance for subsea pipelines. M900 embedded Radio Frequency Identification tags and readers are used to identify pipeline section for surveillance. GY-521 gyrometer and XL-MaxSonar-WR1 ultrasound sensor are used for autonomous navigation beside the crude oil pipeline. Subsea crude oil spills are detected using a METS methane sensor. After spill detection, images of the spill site are captured with a L3C-400 Micro Ultras-Miniature Color Camera and spill location is obtained using Global Positioning System. Spill Images and location are transmitted to a remote PC on the nearest off shore platform using an Xbee Pro 900HP wireless Connection. An Ocean Signal rescueME Personal Beacon Locator also transmits a 406 MHz distress signal via satellite to Emergency Services indicating the identification of a spill. Finite Element Method analysis of the system showed its ability to withstand sea pressures at a depth of 2,250 m. Power analysis showed the system’s ability to remain submerged and to provide surveillance for 100 m section of a subsea pipeline once every 24 hours for over a full month, and this can be increased to once every hour for 51 months with some power modifications.
从海底管道泄漏的原油通常是在数千桶石油泄漏到海洋中,影响海洋生物,到达附近海岸并污染陆地之后才被发现的。水下机器人溢油监测(uros)系统旨在为海底管道提供持续和自主的溢油监测。M900嵌入式射频识别标签和读取器用于识别管道段进行监控。原油管道旁自主导航采用GY-521陀螺仪和XL-MaxSonar-WR1超声传感器。使用METS甲烷传感器检测海底原油泄漏。溢油检测完成后,使用L3C-400微型超微型彩色摄像机采集溢油现场图像,使用全球定位系统获取溢油位置。使用Xbee Pro 900HP无线连接将泄漏图像和位置传输到最近的海上平台上的远程PC。海洋信号救援eme个人信标定位器还通过卫星向紧急服务中心发送406兆赫的求救信号,表明泄漏的识别。有限元分析表明,该系统能够承受2250米深的海压力。功率分析表明,该系统能够保持水下状态,并在一个多月的时间里每24小时监测一次100米长的海底管道,如果对功率进行一些修改,可以在51个月内增加到每小时一次。
