The article describes the electrical complex of a modern electric drilling rig. The structure of electrical complexes is caused by a wide range of requirements for the drilling depth, purpose and operating conditions of the drilling rig. The issue of the direct use of the engine, namely, the conversion of various types of energy into mechanical energy, is also considered. Today, in leading industries, the ratio of the installed capacity of electric drives to the total installed capacity of drives with engines of all types (Thermal, hydraulic, pneumatic) is approaching 100%. This is determined by the fact that electric motors are manufactured for various capacities (from hundredths of a watt to tens of thousands of kilowatts) and rotational speeds

The monitoring of drilling processes is a well-known topic in the mining industry. It is widely used for rock mass characterization, bit wear monitoring and drilling process assessment. However on-board monitoring systems used for this purpose are installed only on a limited number of machines, and breakdowns are possible. There is a need for a data acquisition system that can be used on different drilling rigs and for an automatic data analysis procedure. In this paper, we focused on the automatic detection of drilling cycles, presenting a simple yet reliable system to be universally installed on drilling rigs. The proposed solution covers hardware and software. It is based on the measurement of electric current and acoustic signals. The signal processing methods include threshold-based segmentation, a short-time envelope spectrum and a spectrum for the representation of results. The results of the research have been verified on a real drilling rig within the testing site of its manufacturer by comparing the results with the data of the on-board monitoring system installed on the machine. Novel aspects of our approach include the detection of the pre-boring stage, which has an intermediate amplitude that masks the real drilling cycles, and the use of the percussion instantaneous frequency, which is estimated by acoustic recordings.

The article considers possibility of information transmission by means of a light flux from a conventional led lamp using Li-Fi technology. This technology is used to unload radio wave radiation, the abundance of which adversely affects the drilling process. Though Li-Fi technology is a super-fast way of data transfer, its application has many nuances that must be considered before using. The positive side of Li-Fi comprises data security, selective coverage of the data transmission area, convenient use during maintenance and repair of electrical equipment, possibility to receive and transmit information in different places. In the context of the study there has been carried out a comparative analysis of efficiency of Wi-Fi and Li-Fi technologies. Possibilities of using modern electronics as a receiver and a transmitter of information with the help of Li-Fi technology are being determined.

Project-based transactions (PBTs) are a market mechanism of attracting foreign investments in order to abate greenhouse gas emissions and increase energy efficiency of the country’s enterprises. The article provides a classification and analyzes advantages and drawbacks of PBTs from the point of view of a host country. The main trends and factors determining the dynamics of the PBT market are described. Given that Russia currently lags behind the leaders of the PBT market, an incorporation of a state carbon fund is put forward with an aim of channelling PBTs through it. This paper proposes a form of PBT market regulation by incorporating an option mechanism into the contract structure of a transaction. A comparison of the new form of regulation with the tools that are currently in use in Russia and other countries demonstrates its greater economic efficiency under uncertainty.

As one of the important parameters for the production process of industry, agriculture and military, temperature can affect the production efficiency, energy efficiency and people’s living standards. The temperature measurement has been widely noted and studied. Firstly, the software can receive the temperature of measuring point, and store the value in the database. Secondly, when the temperature exceeds the specified range, the software will give an alarm. The software can view the historical temperature data and draw the curve of temperature. Finally, the software can query and modify the information of the measuring point, such as number, name, normal temperature range of equipment, etc. Based on the existing research results, this paper describes the design and implement of wireless temperature measurement software for electrical equipment.

Subsea equipment such as the drilling riser and the subsea Blow-Out Preventer (BOP) are mandatory in traditional systems used in deep sea drilling for ocean floor research and petroleum wellbore construction. The drilling riser is the vertical steel pipe that transfers and guides the drill column and attached drilling bit into a wellbore at the sea bottom. The BOP is used to protect the wellbore against uncontrolled well pressures during the offshore drilling operation. Presently, there is a high level of drilling activity worldwide and in particular in deeper and ultra-deeper waters. This shift in depth necessitates not only faster drilling systems but drilling rigs upgraded with a capacity to drill in the deep water. In this scenario, two general drilling systems are today considered as alternatives: the traditional system with the subsea BOP and the alternate system with the surface BOP. In the present paper, the two systems are initially described in detail, and a numerical simulation in time domain to estimate the system behavior is presented. Simulations of a floating drilling rig coupled with the subsea and surface BOP in waves and current are carried out for a comparison between the two methods. Results are shown for riser and BOP displacements. Critical riser issues for the systems are discussed, comparing results from both drilling system calculations. Conclusions are addressed showing advantages and disadvantages of each drilling system, and indicating how to correct the problems detected on each system.

In order to improve the energy performance of buildings, the need to value economically investments of energy efficiency associated with the rehabilitation of dwellings arises. This point of view provides an useful tool for analysts who start in the economic appraisal of energy efficiency investments. The present research gives a conceptual framework for the economic assessment of these types of investments in dwellings. As a result, it is possible to identify two techniques in the appraisals of this nature: dynamic and static approaches. Both methods contrast the benefits (energy savings) with the costs of investments over time. However, they differentiate the opportunity and the moment when investment must be carried out given an uncertainty scenario. This conceptual precision allows the study of several publications where different alternatives in retrofitting houses where evaluated, confirming the considerations that must be taken into account when economic modelling is made: the type of approach to be used (dynamic or static) and; at the definition of the investment alternatives and scenarios, the aspects of time, irrevocability and uncertainty.ResumenEn pro de la mejora del desempeño energético de los edificios, surge la necesidad de evaluar económicamente las inversiones de eficiencia energética asociadas a la rehabilitación de viviendas. Este punto de vista trata de ser una herramienta útil para analistas que se inicien en la evaluación económica de inversiones en eficiencia energética. La presente investigación muestra un marco conceptual de la evaluación económica de este tipo de inversiones en viviendas. Como resultado, es posible identificar dos enfoques presentes en los análisis económicos de esta naturaleza: el dinámico y el estático. Ambos métodos contrastan los beneficios (ahorros energéticos) con los costes de las inversiones en el tiempo. Sin embargo, diferencian la oportunidad y el momento en que la inversión debe realizarse dado un escenario de incertidumbre. Esta precisión conceptual permite estudiar varias publicaciones donde se evaluaron diferentes alternativas de reacondicionamiento en viviendas, confirmándose las consideraciones que deben tenerse presentes en momento de realizar la modelación económica: el tipo de enfoque a usar (dinámico o estático) y, en la definición de las alternativas de inversión y escenarios, los aspectos de tiempo, irrevocabilidad e incertidumbre.

Background. The article provides an overview of existing complexes (units) for continuous monitoring of drilling fluid parameters in automatic mode. Aim. To justify the need to develop a complex (module) that will allow combining existing technologies and making a step forward in the field of process automation in terms of monitoring the parameters of drilling fluids. Materials and methods. In the current realities of well construction, the control of drilling fluid parameters on almost all drilling rigs operating on the territory of Russia (possibly with the exception of a few off shore projects) is carried out by the work of a solution engineer, usually a representative of a service company. The analysis of the parameters, depending on the number of personnel, the speed of penetration, the complexity or importance of the well, can be carried out from 2 to 6 times a day [1, 2]. This means a complete analysis, rather than monitoring the density and conditional viscosity, which can be measured by a representative of the drilling crew, for rapid response, and with greater frequency. Due to such a low measurement discreteness, there is a high probability of a significant deviation of the drilling fluid parameters from the design values. As a result, the probability of various complications, both geological and technological, increase significantly. Results. During the analysis of information from open sources, the most promising complexes (modules) from the point of view of application in the current conditions were identified, their positive and negative sides were evaluated. As a result of the conducted review of open sources, the most promising complexes (modules) in terms of application in the current conditions are identified, the positive and negative sides of the systems under consideration are displayed, and the need to develop a complex (module) that will combine all the best that is available today and make a qualitative step forward in the field of “peopleless” technologies used during drilling wells in terms of monitoring the parameters of drilling fluids is justified. Conclusions. The necessity of developing a complex (module) for automating processes in terms of monitoring the parameters of drilling fluids is justified.
