Operational monitoring of oil transport regimes for frequency regulation of the pump unit

Abstract

The currently used methods for controlling the operating modes of a centrifugal pump due to interchangeable rotors and throttling do not always allow us to obtain the required operating parameters of the pumping station. The purpose of the study is to obtain the technical characteristics of the use of a variable frequency drive. The use of frequency regulation on centrifugal units for the transportation of oil is currently one of the main most economical methods. The task of continuous monitoring of operating modes in the case of frequency regulation of the pump unit of the main oil pipeline and the development of optimal methods for controlling the operating modes is posed. The authors have developed a system of continuous control of operating modes for frequency regulation of a pump unit (SCCPU) - a software complex consisting of two stages of data collection and processing and simulation of process operations with issuing recommendations on optimal methods for controlling modes for frequency regulation of the pump unit operation on the main oil pipeline. The use of the SCCPU system will improve the efficiency and reliability of the entire facility, it is easy to integrate with any ACS software, since DDE and ODBC technologies are used in programming.
