2024 Provincial Water Resources Development Fund Project: Online Measurement Calibration for Large and Medium-Sized Irrigation Canal Intakes (Shijin Irrigation District)

Project Overview

This project aims to enhance the accuracy of online water intake measurement data for 29 large and medium-sized irrigation canal intakes within the jurisdiction. Key tasks include:

For intakes with active flow in 2024, on-site measurements of cross-sectional shape, water level, velocity, and flow rate will be conducted. Data will be compared with online monitoring results from the provincial platform to refine calibration parameters and improve measurement accuracy.

Solution Implementation

Shenzhen Huaju Scientific Instruments Co., Ltd.’s array radar flow measurement system has been deployed for its proven advantages:

In this project, Huaju’s multi-device array radar system has been implemented to address complex flow monitoring challenges.



Key Features of Huaju Array Radar Flow Measurement System

1.Integrated Connectivity:

  • Multiple radar velocity sensors connect to a radar flow meter via RS485 bus.
  • The flow meter interfaces with a Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) through RS485, enabling wireless data transmission to a remote monitoring platform.

2.Adaptive Zoning:

  • The river cross-section is divided into measurement zones based on bed elevation and flow distribution.
  • Each zone deploys a radar velocity sensor, while the radar flow meter can be placed in any zone.

3.Non-Contact Measurement:

  • Velocity data from each zone is combined with water level data to calculate real-time and cumulative flow using built-in algorithms.
  • Immune to temperature, sediment, and pollutants.

4.Bias Reduction:

  • The array design minimizes errors caused by irregular cross-sections or uneven velocity distribution.
  • Leverages existing bridge or cableway infrastructure for streamlined installation.

Huaju Array Radar Flow Measurement Software

  • Centralized Configuration: The radar flow meter serves as the communication hub. PC-based software enables parameter setup, zone partitioning, and device configuration.

  • Functional Capabilities:

    • On-site debugging and parameter adjustment.

    • Cross-section data import/export.

    • Real-time data visualization and statistical analysis.

    • User permission management.


System Architecture

  • Data Collection: A server aggregates and processes water level, velocity, and flow data from the radar system.

  • Multi-Level Monitoring: Provincial, municipal, and county centers utilize a GIS platform to monitor all stations, enabling flow anomaly detection and early warnings.
