Developing Fugitive Emissions Sensor Networks

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1760396· OSTI ID:1760396

This document summarizes research performed under the Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project titled Developing Fugitive Emissions Sensor Networks: New Optimization Algorithms for Monitoring, Measurement and Verification. The purpose of this project is to develop methods and software to enhance detection programs through optimal design of the sensor network. This project includes both software development and field work. While this project is focused on methane emissions, the sensor placement optimization framework can be applied to a wide range of applications, including the placement of water quality sensors, surveillance cameras, fire and chemical detectors. This research has the potential to improve national security by improving the way sensors are deployed in the field.
