US Patent 10354195 Forecasting leaks in pipeline network

Technical solutions are described for forecasting leaks in a pipeline network. An example method includes identifying a subsystem in the pipeline network that includes a first station. The method also includes accessing historical temporal sensor measurements of the stations. The method also includes generating a prediction model for the first station that predicts a pressure measurement at the first station based on the historical temporal sensor measurements at each station in the subsystem. The method also includes predicting a series of pressure measurements at the first station based on the historical temporal sensor measurements. The method also includes determining a series of deviations between the series of pressure measurements and historical pressure measurements of the first station and identifying a threshold value from the series of deviations, where a pressure measurement at the first station above or below the threshold value is indicative of a leak in the subsystem.
