Abstract

Recently, as the number of facilities using chemicals is increasing, the amount of handling is rapidly increasing. However, chemical spills are occurring steadily, and if large quantities of chemicals are leaked in time, they are likely to cause major damage. These industrial complexes use information obtained from a number of sensors to detect and monitor leaking areas, and are used in industrial fields by applying existing fixed sensors to robots and drones. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a sensor placement method at the interface for rapid detection and response based on various leaking scenarios reflecting leaking conditions and environmental conditions of the chemical handling process. In this study, COMSOL was used to analyze the actual accident scenarios by applying the medium parameter to the case of chemical leaks. Based on the accident scenarios, the objective function is selected so that the velocity of each robot is calculated by attaching importance to each item of sensor detection probability, sensing time and sensing scenario number. We also confirmed the feasibility of this method of reliability analysis for unexpected leak accidents. Based on the above results, it is expected that it will be helpful to trace back the leakage source based on the concentration data of the portable sensor to be applied later.

최근 화학물질을 사용하는 시설이 증가하면서 취급양도 급속하게 증가하고 있다. 그러나 화학물질 누출사고는 꾸준히 발생되고 있으며 때에 따라 다량의 화학물질이 누출되는 경우에는 큰 피해로 이어질 가능성이 크다. 이러한 산업단지에는 수많은 센서로부터 얻는 정보를 이용해 누출 발생지역을 감지 감시하고 있으며, 기존의 고정식 센서를 로봇이나 드론에 적용하여 산업현장에 이용되고 있다. 이에 따라 화학물질을 취급하는 공정의 누출조건, 환경조건을 반영한 다양한 누출 시나리오를 토대로 빠른 감지와 대응을 위해 경계면의 센서 배치 방안을 제시할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 화학물질이 누출되는 경우에 대해 COMSOL을 사용하여 주요 파라미터를 적용, 실질적인 사고 시나리오를 해석하였다. 그리고 사고 시나리오를 바탕으로 센서의 감지 확률, 감지시간과 감지시나리오 수의 각 항목마다 중요도를 부여하여 이동식 센서의 위치별 속도가 산출되도록 목적함수를 선정하였다. 또한 예상치 못한 누출사고에 대해 신뢰성 분석을 통해 제안방법의 타당성을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 추후 적용될 이동식 센서의 농도 데이터를 기반으로 누출원의 역추적에도 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
