The pumping unit is the main pumping equipment in the oil field. However, there widely exist such defects as low pumping efficiency, high energy consumption, much time and great efforts consumption in stroke adjustment etc. in the current pumping unit, resulting in serious waste of energy. Some energy-saving technologies in pumping units have been developed, but the effects are not quite good. Aiming at this situation, this paper introduces a new type of motor control theory - Direct Torque Control. By controlling the stator voltage, the technology achieves the direct control of the motor torque. Meanwhile, with the combination of the motor running condition of pumping units, study of energy-saving control based on DTC technology is carried out.

With the increasing concern over global energy crisis, energy saving in pumping units is becoming a significant subject. In terms of energy-saving and working efficiency, hydraulic pumping units outperform conventional pumping units. In this paper, a novel hydraulic pumping unit is proposed to overcome the existing drawbacks of conventional pumping units and present hydraulic pumping units. Firstly, this novel hydraulic pumping unit adopts a balanced mechanical structure, which means two oil wells are used in this system and the weight of their sucker rods can balance each other through the symmetrical arrangement. This kind of structural design not only saves the nominal power but also allows the system to continuously pump oil. Another feature of this hydraulic pumping unit is that it adopts the electro-hydraulic proportional load-sensing control technology, which makes the pressure and flow rate of the pump adapt to the requirement automatically in real time. The double wells of the system work alternatively under the normal condition and any one can work alone when the other needs maintenance, which improves the operating rate of pumping oil. After the main system parameters are calculated, conclusion can be drawn that both the nominal and operating power of this hydraulic pumping unit are relatively low. The model of the whole system is built based on mathematical dynamics and AMESim environment, and simulation results demonstrate that the proposed hydraulic pumping unit can achieve remarkable energy-saving performance.

Beam pumping unit is the uppermost artificial lifting equipment in the oilfield exploitation. In order to reduce its energy consumption and to cut down the oil production costs, many manufacturers have developed a lot of types of the energy-saving pumping unit. With different energy-saving principle, the energy-saving effects are quite different. It is becoming very important how to justly and reasonably evaluate the energy-saving effect of a pumping unit. Hydrodynamic simulated experiment well is used to compare the energy-saving effects of four types of pumping units. In the process of the experiments, water is taken as the medium, offset pumping unit is as the reference body, system efficiency and electricity-saving ratio is as the evaluating goal and all the experiments are executed at the same condition. The relative curves of the lifting height with the system efficiency and the electricity-saving ratio are drawn for the four types of the pumping units. Testing results indicate that the double horse-head pumping unit has the best effect, and then the compound-balanced pumping unit with downward beam balance weight. According to the comparative results, it is put forward the pumping unit selecting suggestions.

Abstract As China’s new infrastructure,5G has received national and social attention. 5G promotes economic to grow rapidly. But, the high energy consumption caused by the massive deployment of 5G base stations cannot be ignored. The total annual power consumption is expected to reach 243 billion degrees when the 5G base station is fully built. In the tidal scene, some 5G base station in an idle state still power fully, which causes great power waste. The historical volume of base station business data is used to train LSTM model, and predict the future base station business. When the business is lower than the threshold, the base station will be closed to avoid unnecessary power waste. And the LSTM model prediction results fits the original data ideally. By implementing the power saving strategy, the energy consumption of the base station is reduced by 18.97 %. A single station can save 1174 degrees of electricity yearly. It can be seen that the energy saving effect is remarkable.

Conventional beam pumping units have occupied an important position in oilfield equipment due to such characteristics as simple structure, high reliability, simple operation, easy maintenance, and so on. In fact, there are about 90,000 sets of beam pumping units in China. However, the unbalanced structure of the beam pumping units cannot be entirely eliminated because of the inherent geometry and mechanical properties of four-bar linkage, that is the electromotor equivalent torque ripple cannot be absorbed or eliminated by counterweight in up-and-down travels, which causes the electromotor to work under greatly changed load rate with low power factor and high energy consumption. The mechanical relationship of a conventional beam pumping unit was derived first, and then parameters of a basic structure were optimized through dynamic optimization. On this basis, the hydraulic hybrid solution was proposed, and a secondary balance was conducted on the optimal pumping unit electrometer’s load torque. Computer simulation model was established to carry out a system dynamic analysis and the results showed that the scheme can reduce the motor load torque ripple, improve motor load rate and power factor, and reduce motor power effectively. It may bring tremendous decrease of electricity cost and have great significance for oilfield equipment energy saving, oil extraction cost reduction, and promotion of petroleum products’ competitiveness.
