چکیده

Directional drilling systems generate complex curved boreholes in the earth’s crust for the exploration and harvesting of oil, gas and geothermal energy. In practice, boreholes drilled with such systems often show instability-induced borehole spiraling, which negatively affects the borehole quality and increases drag losses while drilling. This paper presents a dynamic state-feedback controller design approach for the stable generation of complex, threedimensional borehole geometries, while avoiding undesired borehole spiraling. The design is based on a model for three-dimensional borehole propagation in terms of nonlinear delay differential equations. After casting the problem of borehole propagation into a tracking problem, it is shown that complex, three-dimensional borehole geometries can be asymptotically stabilized with the proposed controller. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is evidenced in an illustrative benchmark study.

Time-Invariant State Feedback Control Laws for a Special Form of Underactuated Nonlinear Systems Using Linear State Bisection

Linear state bisection is introduced as a new method to find time-invariant state feedback control laws for a special form of underactuated nonlinear systems. The specialty of the systems considered is that every unactuated state should be coupled with at least two directly actuated states. The basic idea is based on bisecting actuated states and using linear combinations with adjustable parame...

Output-feedback inclination control of directional drilling systems

Directional drilling techniques, based on rotary steerable systems, are used to generate complex curved boreholes. In practice, however, boreholes drilled with such systems often show instability-induced borehole spiraling, which negatively affects the borehole quality and increases drag losses while drilling. As a basis for controller synthesis, we present a directional drilling model in terms...

A new switching strategy for exponential stabilization of uncertain discrete-time switched linear systems in guaranteed cost control problem

Uncertain switched linear systems are known as an important class of control systems. Performance of these systems is affected by uncertainties and its stabilization is a main concern of recent studies. Existing work on stabilization of these systems only provides asymptotical stabilization via designing switching strategy and state-feedback controller. In this paper, a new switching strate...

Adaptive fuzzy pole placement for stabilization of non-linear systems

A new approach for pole placement of nonlinear systems using state feedback and fuzzy system is proposed. We use a new online fuzzy training method to identify and to obtain a fuzzy model for the unknown nonlinear system using only the system input and output. Then, we linearized this identified model at each sampling time to have an approximate linear time varying system. In order to stabilize...
