  • Patent number: 11378947
    Abstract: A system for monitoring operation of rotating electrical machinery including electrical industrial machinery. The system comprises analog sensors configured to measure electrical signals corresponding to the voltage and the current of the rotating electrical machinery. A remote processor identifies the frequency components of the measured electrical signals. Based on the frequency components, the system is monitored and controlled. This may help allow electrical faults, mechanical faults and process faults to be predicted and/or prevented.

  • Publication number: 20210054847
    Abstract: A monitoring and control apparatus communicates with an electrical drive of a subsurface artificial lift system to identify, predict and mitigate against failure of the artificial lift system. A monitoring and control apparatus: reads torque signals from the electrical drive or from a measurement device, produces a filtered torque signal; identifies frequency components of the filtered torque signal; compares the frequency components of the filtered torque signal with frequency components of a reference torque signal indicative of a healthy state of a pump motor of the artificial lift system to identify harmful frequencies in the filtered torque signal and generate a failure prediction index representing the likelihood of failure in comparison to a stable operation status; and then send a control signal to the electrical drive to adjust a frequency response of the pump motor so that the identified harmful frequency component is dampened.

  • Patent number: 10458223
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for rotating a drill string to mitigate stick-slip oscillations. An embodiment includes a method of rotating a drill string driven by a drive system using a control system. The method includes measuring torque values of the drive system with a torque sensor. The method also includes determining a frequency of stick-slip oscillations at the drive system based on the torque values using the control system. The method also includes determining an estimated instantaneous rotational speed of the drive system with the control system based on at least the frequency of stick-slip oscillations and a characteristic impedance of the drill string. The method also includes adjusting the estimated instantaneous rotational speed based on changes in the torque values to define an adjusted estimated instantaneous rotation speed with the control system.
