Abstract
Water is a basic necessity and one of the most valuable resources for human living. Sadly, large quantities of treated water get lost daily worldwide, especially in developing countries, through leaks in the water distribution network. Wireless sensor network-based water pipeline monitoring (WWPM) systems using low-cost micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers have become popular for real-time leak detection due to their low-cost and low power consumption, but they are plagued with high false alarm rates. Recently, the distributed Kalman filter (DKF) has been shown to improve the leak detection reliability of WWPM systems using low-cost MEMS accelerometers. However, the question of which DKF is optimal in terms of leak detection reliability and energy consumption is still unanswered. This study evaluates and compares the leak detection reliability of three DKF algorithms, selected from distributed data fusion strategies based on diffusion, gossip and consensus. In this study, we used a combined approach involving simulations and laboratory experiments. The performance metrics used for the comparison include sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. The laboratory results revealed that the event-triggered diffusion-based DKF is optimal, having a sensitivity value of 61%, a specificity value of 93%, and an accuracy of 90%. It also has a lower communication burden and is less affected by packet loss, making it more responsive to real-time leak detection.
