Different mathematical models are compared with regard to their usage in the model-based leak-monitoring scheme. The pipeline is represented as a two-port system. Three models are compared: the nonlinear distributed parameters model, the linear distributed parameters model and the linear lumped parameters model were used for leak detection and localization. The nonlinear distributed parameters model was simulated using a special program PIPESIM and provides the best results, however it involves the highest computational demand. With very small changes of the signals around a working point, the linear models provide useful results however, with a greater change of working point conditions which may be caused by the leak, the results of linear models become biased. Investigations into adaptation of the linear models to the current working point are under way as well as the knowledge-based gray box modeling.
