Design and implementation of intelligent remote control system for natural gas valves

In order to remote monitor and control the natural gas valves, the design and implementation of an intelligent remote control system for natural gas valves based on the Internet of Things is proposed in this paper. The proposed system enables real-time monitoring and remote control of valve states. Additionally, the system introduces a scheme for automatically controlling valve opening values based on the data from the sensors on valves. In order to facilitate user operation and configuration the thresholds for scheme judgement, the corresponding app has been designed for remote control of the valve. The test results demonstrate that the system successfully enables intelligent remote control of natural gas valves. Compared with other natural gas valve systems, this system uses electro-hydraulic actuators with ESD function and reduces the cost to some extent while ensuring the efficiency of data transmission. Therefore, this result is of great practical significance for remote control and automation of natural gas valves.
