Product · Hold

Minutes held. With a bound.

Per segment: how many minutes the estimate stays inside tolerance after the data stops, with a 90 % bound.

1

Minutes each segment's estimate holds, with a bound

2

Tolerance: twice the commissioning noise of the nearest gauge

Says “blind: cannot say” when it cannot

Hands on

Holdover says

km 0–20: thin

About 0 minutes left at 90 %, given how often this line gets changed.

Smallest leak still seen at this point: 1 % of flow.

How it turned out

Predicted to hold at 90 %: 0 min (worst segment).

Now

Minute 0: km 0–20 thin. Hold flow; manual operation at minute 0 unless data returns.

What it needs

  • Historian export with dropout and freeze flags
  • Wavepin's line model for the segment
  • One month of history

What it is not

  • Not a backup SCADA
  • No regulator has accepted a computed blind time

Proven, in simulation

  • Leaks starting inside an outage caught 91 % of the time at 6 % false alarms; a learned model 85 %, today's display 71 %, Wavepin's engine with validity masks 67 % (simulation)
  • When it says the estimate still holds, it is wrong 3.7 % of the time; hold-last-value 22.5 %
  • The estimate held 71 minutes (median) through an outage; the frozen display 63
  • The 90 % bound on minutes held covered 85 % of outcomes
  • Correlated loss shortens holding to 0.91× random loss at the same rate (interval 0.83–0.98), beyond the interval, narrowly

Not proven

  • When an estimate does fail, the minutes forecast is off by 42 minutes (median); a five-minute open-loop rule is closer there
  • The correlated-loss effect is small (9 %); another line or map may erase it
  • No real outage log used
  • No regulator has accepted a computed blind time
  • Satellite latency modelled, not measured
  • Two sites failing at once may read as one
