Currently, the task of modernizing the automated control of the technological process of accounting, storage and transportation of petroleum products is becoming urgent at oil pumping facilities. Modern automatic process control systems require constant updating of equipment, software and technical support. As production and supply cycles become shorter and require greater flexibility, real-time data exchange on operational capacity and conditions for planning and forecasting production and operational operations becomes an important factor in the company's bottom line. The modern open platform of the SCADA system allows you to create links between the operational and information areas of engineering. In this regard, the use of SCADA technologies is the most promising method of automated control of production processes in terms of process visualization, safety and reliability

Advantages And Disadvantages

Continuing the evolution towards Industry 4.0, the industrial communication protocols represent a significant topic of interest, as real-time data exchange between multiple devices constitute the pillar of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) scenarios. Although the legacy protocols are still persistent in the industry, the transition was initiated by the key Industry 4.0 facilitating protocol, the Open Platform Communication Unified Architecture (OPC UA). OPC UA has to reach the envisioned applicability, and it therefore has to consider coexistence with other emerging real-time oriented protocols in the production lines. The Data Distribution Service (DDS) will certainly be present in future architectures in some areas as robots, co-bots, and compact units. The current paper proposes a solution to evaluate the real-time coexistence of OPC UA and DDS protocols, functioning in parallel and in a gateway context. The purpose is to confirm the compatibility and feasibility between the two protocols alongside a general definition of criteria and expectations from an architectural point of view, pointing out advantages and disadvantages in a neutral manner, shaping a comprehensive view of the possibilities. The researched architecture is meant to comply with both performance comparison scenarios and interaction scenarios over a gateway application. Considering the industrial tendencies, the developed solution is applied using non-ideal infrastructures to provide a more feasible and faster applicability in the production lines.

This paper focuses on transportation models in smart cities. We propose a new dynamic mobility traffic (DMT) scheme which combines public buses and car ride-sharing. The main objective is to improve transportation by maximizing the riders’ satisfaction based on real-time data exchange between the regional manager, the public buses, the car ride-sharing and the riders. OpenStreetMap and OMNET++ were used to implement a realistic scenario for the proposed model in a city like Ottawa. The DMT scheme was compared to a multi-loading system used for a school bus. Simulations showed that rider satisfaction was enhanced when a suitable combination of transportation modes was used. Additionally, compared to the other scheme, this DMT scheme can reduce the stress level of car ride-sharing and public buses during the day to the minimal level.

The integration of improved control techniques with advanced information technologies enables the rapid development of smart grids. The necessity of having an efficient, reliable, and flexible communication infrastructure is achieved by enabling real-time data exchange between numerous intelligent and traditional electrical grid elements. The performance and efficiency of the power grid are enhanced with the incorporation of communication networks, intelligent automation, advanced sensors, and information technologies. Although smart grid technologies bring about valuable economic, social, and environmental benefits, testing the combination of heterogeneous and co-existing Cyber-Physical-Smart Grids (CP-SGs) with conventional technologies presents many challenges. The examination for both hardware and software components of the Smart Grid (SG) system is essential prior to the deployment in real-time systems. This can take place by developing a prototype to mimic the real operational circumstances with adequate configurations and precision. Therefore, it is essential to summarize state-of-the-art technologies of industrial control system testbeds and evaluate new technologies and vulnerabilities with the motivation of stimulating discoveries and designs. In this paper, a comprehensive review of the advancement of CP-SGs with their corresponding testbeds including diverse testing paradigms has been performed. In particular, we broadly discuss CP-SG testbed architectures along with the associated functions and main vulnerabilities. The testbed requirements, constraints, and applications are also discussed. Finally, the trends and future research directions are highlighted and specified.

Despite their seemingly impressive claims, current products for Condition Monitoring, Diagnostic and Decision Support Systems (CMD&D) do not provide the reliable bottom line information that end users and operators need. Instead they confuse the issue with gigabytes of logged trends, complex cause-effect matrices, fault signatures etc. The term “Intelligent Health Control” here refers to the next generation of such systems which provide usable information on: • the existence and severity of faults; • how their severity will progress with utilization; • how this progress can be influenced or controlled. In this paper the fundamental shortcomings of current approaches are discussed prior to introducing the basics of Intelligent Health Control in terms of fault models and how they can be used to close the diagnostic, prognostic and intelligent control triangle. The industry will unavoidably shift towards an “information centric” view from the currently predominant “data centric” view. Gigabytes of performance trends will no longer be relevant. Instead, reliable bottom line information will be required on how to minimize or control the costs associated with machinery health degradation or faults. In order to keep the discussion real, the current state of the art of enabling technologies are discussed, including: • Open Information Buses; • Adding real time data server functionality to the control system; • Computational Steering, Human-in-the-Loop Optimization (or semi-automatic problem solving); • Fault Models; • Faster than real time simulation; • Neural Nets.

The LOG-a-TEC testbed is a combined outdoor and indoor heterogeneous wireless testbed for experimentation with sensor networks and machine-type communications, which is included within the Fed4FIRE+ federation. It supports continuous deployment principles; however, it is missing an option to monitor and control the experiment in real-time, which is required for experiment execution under comparable conditions. The paper describes the implementation of the experiment control and monitoring system (EC and MS) as the upgrade of the LOG-a-TEC testbed. EC and MS is implemented within existing infrastructure management and built systems as a new service. The EC and MS is accessible as a new tab in sensor management system portal. It supports several commands, including start, stop and restart application, exit the experiment, flash or reset the target device, and displays the real-time status of the experiment application. When nodes apply Contiki-NG as their operating system, the Contiki-NG shell tool is accessible with the help of the newly developed tool, giving further experiment execution control capabilities to the user. By using the ZeroMQ concurrency framework as a message exchange system, information can be asynchronously sent to one or many devices at the same time, providing a real-time data exchange mechanism. The proposed upgrade does not disrupt any continuous deployment functionality and enables remote control and monitoring of the experiment. To evaluate the EC and MS functionality, two experiments were conducted: the first demonstrated the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) localization, while the second analysed interference avoidance in the 6TiSCH (IPv6 over the TSCH mode of IEEE 802.15.4e) wireless technology for the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).

Rate of Penetration (ROP) is one of the important factors influencing the drilling efficiency. Since cost recovery is an important bottom line in the drilling industry, optimizing ROP is essential to minimize the drilling operational cost and capital cost. Traditional the empirical models are not adaptive to new lithology changes and hence the predictive accuracy is low and subjective. With advancement in big data technologies, real- time data storage cost is lowered, and the availability of real-time data is enhanced. In this study, it is shown that optimization methods together with data models has immense potential in predicting ROP based on real time measurements on the rig. A machine learning based data model is developed by utilizing the offset vertical wells’ real time operational parameters while drilling. Data pre-processing methods and feature engineering methods modify the raw data into a processed data so that the model learns effectively from the inputs. A multi – layer back propagation neural network is developed, cross-validated and compared with field measurements and empirical models.

A significant part of the oil consumed in the world is transported from production and processing sites to consumers via tankers and pipelines. According to experts' forecasts, the demand for oil and petroleum products in the coming years will be significantly higher than in 2020. In Russia, the oil transportation market is developing in several directions. The main directions are investing in pipeline transport and improving the design of tanks for storing oil and petroleum products. The article considers the contribution of the great Russian engineer V.G. Shukhov to the solution of the problem of oil transportation and storage and in general to the development of the oil industry. In the article "Oil Pipelines" (1884) and in the book "Pipelines and their application in the oil industry" (1894), V.G. Shukhov gave precise mathematical formulae for describing the processes of oil and fuel oil flowing through pipelines, creating a classical theory of oil pipelines. He is the author of the projects of the first Russian main pipelines: Baku-Batumi with a length of 883 km (1907) and Grozny-Tuapse with a length of 618 km (1928). Shukhov V.G. designed and then supervised the construction of oil pipelines of the companies "Branobel", "G.M. Lianozova and sons" and the world's first heated fuel oil pipeline. Working in the oil fields in Baku, Shukhov V.G. developed the basics of lifting and pumping oil products, proposed a method of lifting oil using compressed air — airlift, developed a calculation method and technology for the construction of cylindrical steel tanks for oil storage facilities.

Hardening Soil Model

Уже в ближайшем будущем от использования современных численных методов расчета будет зависеть прогресс в области проектирования оснований и фундаментов зданий и сооружений, поскольку возможности по совершенствованию строительных норм практически исчерпаны. Целью статьи является демонстрация возможностей численных расчетов с использованием современных моделей грунта на примере проектирования фундамента стандартного нефтяного резервуара для хранения нефти и нефтепродуктов. Приведено сравнение результатов расчетов осадки основания резервуара емкостью 30 000 м, выполненных в соответствии с действующими нормами проектирования и методом конечных элементов с применением программного комплекса PLAXIS. В частности, проведены численные расчеты с использованием современных моделей грунта: 1) модели грунта с упрочнением (Hardening Soil model, HS); 2) модели грунта с упрочнением и учетом малых деформаций (Hardening Soil small strain model, HSs). Показано, что использование указанных моделей при наличии требуемого объема исходных данных позволяет существенно уточнить вычисления, выполняемые по нормативным методикам. С учетом полученных результатов определена возможность оптимизации проектных решений при выборе типа фундамента резервуара. In the near future, the progress in design of bases and foundations of buildings and structures will depend on the use of modern numerical calculation methods since the opportunities to improve the building regulations are almost exhausted. This article aims to demonstrate the capabilities of numerical calculations with the use of modern soil models on the example of designing the foundation of a standard oil storage tank for crude oil and petroleum products. This article provides a comparison of the results of the base settlement of a 30,000 m tank calculations made in accordance with the current standards of design and the finite elements method with the use of the PLAXIS software package. In particular, the following numerical calculations with the use of modern soil models have been performed: 1) Hardening Soil model, HS; 2) Hardening Soil small strain model, HSs. It is shown that the use of these models in the presence of the required amount of baseline data can significantly refine the calculations performed according to normative methods. Considering the obtained results, the possibility of optimizing design solutions when selecting the type of foundation of a tank was determined.
