Electric Submersible Pump

Switched reluctance motors may be advantageous when used as the primary motor for an electric submersible pump system.  They are less susceptible to jamming failures due to their high starting torque and ability to reverse direction.  Driving these motors requires well-timed pulse waveforms and precise control of the motor based on its rotational position.  In general, voltage-based sensing and control systems at the surface see highly unpredictable waveforms with excessive ringing behaviour due to the impedance characteristics of the long cabling between the surface controller and the downhole motor system.  In this work, a system is detailed which monitors the current waveforms on the motor coil excitation conductors at the surface as a source of motor performance feedback and control.  State-space modelling of the system shows stable current waveforms at the surface controller for both short and long interconnect cable systems.  A laboratory demonstration of the surface controller, interconnect cabling, and motor system is shows excellent agreement with the current and voltage waveforms predicted by the state-space system model.

Abstract Switched reluctance motors may be advantageous when used as the primary motor for an electric submersible pump system. They are less susceptible to jamming failures due to their high starting torque and ability to reverse direction. Driving these motors requires well-timed pulse waveforms and precise control of the motor based on its rotational position. It is demonstrated that the pulses required to drive switched reluctance motors can still be applied over along cable lengths. Additionally, the current at the surface can be used to monitor and control the operation of the motor downhole, even with long cable lengths separating the surface power source and downhole motor.

Stability is examined with respect to the torque in the elastic element between motor and load in semi-definite systems exhibiting unstable self-excitation during start-up. Equations are provided for optimizing a motor-mounted damped absorber to minimize the torque fluctuations in the shafting between motor and load in semi-definite systems. Minimum damper inertia needed to stabilize the system is computed assuming optimum damping. Stability and damper optimization equations are applied to two cases involving unstable self-excitation in electric submersible pump systems. In the first case, unstable growth of torque amplitude in shafting between an electric induction motor and an inertial load was observed during start-up in laboratory testing. A computer simulation of the system dynamics demonstrated that the torque could be stabilized by adding a damped absorber to the motor. In a computer simulation for the second case, unstable torque fluctuations in the shafting of an electric submersible pump system were dramatically reduced by the addition of a damped absorber; however, stability was not achieved until the damper inertia was sufficiently increased. Stability is not always required for safe operation of electric submersible pumps. A computational model of the system dynamics during startup should be used to determine when stability is required.

Electric Submersible Pump

A hydraulic experimental monitor system for electric submersible pump (ESP) was designed, which contains data acquisition and monitor interface. Data acquisition applied Advantech Data Acquisition and Siemens Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Monitor interface applied Monitor and Control Generated System (MCGS). The results prove that the system can control the speed of ESP and display and record many signals, such as flow-rate, pressure, torque, rotation speed, liquid level, etc. The ways of converting analog signals, processing pulse signal and controlling speed are introduced.

This article presents a method to adjust the elements of a small wind power plant to the wind speed characterized by the highest annual level of energy. Tests were carried out on the basis of annual wind distributions at three locations. The standard range of wind speeds was reduced to that resulting from the annual wind speed distributions in these locations. The construction of the generators and the method of their excitation were adapted to the characteristics of the turbines. The results obtained for the designed power plants were compared with those obtained for a power plant with a commercial turbine adapted to a wind speed of 10 mps. The generator structure and control method were optimized using a genetic algorithm in the MATLAB program (Mathworks, Natick, MA, USA); magnetostatic calculations were carried out using the FEMM program; the simulations were conducted using a proprietary simulation program. The simulation results were verified by measurement for a switched reluctance machine of the same voltage, power, and design. Finally, the yields of the designed generators in various locations were determined.

Terahertz (THz) imaging and spectroscopy set-ups require fine optical alignment or precise control of spatial mode profile. We demonstrate universal, convenient and easy-to-use imaging—resonant and broadband antenna coupled ultrasensitive titanium-based—dedicated to accurately adjust and control spatial mode profiles without additional focusing optical components of weak power THz sources. Versatile operation of the devices is shown using different kinds of THz—electronic multiplier sources, optical THz mixer-based frequency domain and femtosecond optoelectronic THz time-domain spectrometers as well as optically pumped molecular THz laser. Features of the microbolometers within 0.15–0.6 THz range are exposed and discussed, their ability to detect spatial mode profiles beyond the antennas resonances, up to 2.52 THz, are explored. Polarization-sensitive mode control possibilities are examined in details. The suitability of the resonant antenna-coupled microbolometers to resolve low-absorbing objects at 0.3 THz is revealed via direct, dark field and phase contrast imaging techniques as well.
