Oilfield Equipment Control Distributed Automated System

Distributed control architecture for automated nanohandling

New distributed control architecture for microand nanohandling cells is presented. As a modular system it is designed to handle microand nanorobotic automation tasks at semiup to full automation level. The architecture includes different visual sensors as there are scanning electron microscopes (SEM) and CCD cameras for position tracking as well as non-optical force, temperature, etc. sensors f...

Study on Oilfield Distribution Network Reconfiguration with Distributed Generation

Distributed generation (DG) based on oilfield associated gas has the characteristics of dispersive and small capacity. According to load control type, DG is treated as PQ point in power flow calculation. A distribution network reconfiguration algorithm based on simulated annealing and immune is proposed in this paper. Boltzmann simulated annealing operator is used in selection operation, and me...

Control System 64 . Control System for Automated Feed Plant

Many factories, especially in developing countries, still use old technology and control systems. Some of them are forced to replace at least the control and supervising system in order to increase their productivity. This chapter presents a modern solution for updating the control system of a fodder-producing factory without replacing the field devices or the infrastructure. The automation sys...

A Distributed Control Architecture for Autonomous Operation of a Hybrid AC/DC Microgrid System

Hybrid AC/DC microgrids facilitate the procedure of DC power connection into the conventional AC power system by developing the distributed generations (DGs) technologies. The conversion processes between AC and DC electrical powers are more convenient by hybrid systems. In this paper, an energy management system (EMS) for a hybrid microgrid network is proposed due to the optimal utilization of...
