An EKF-Based Method and Experimental Study for Small Leakage Detection and Location in Natural Gas Pipelines

Small leaks in natural gas pipelines are hard to detect, and there are few studies on this problem in the literature. In this paper, a method based on the extended Kalman filter (EKF) is proposed to detect and locate small leaks in natural gas pipelines. First, the method of a characteristic line is...
