  • Patent number: 11784493
    Abstract: A method and a device for primary frequency modulation in new energy power generation are provided. An inverter performs a first power adjustment according to a p-f droop curve before receiving a power adjustment instruction sent by the power station controller, and performs a second power adjustment in response to the power adjustment instruction. Since the inverter performs the first power adjustment before responding to the power adjustment instruction sent by the power station controller, the response of the primary frequency modulation is speeded up, so that rapid control for the new energy generation power is achieved, thereby ensuring stable operation of a power grid for new energy power generation.

  • Patent number: 11773683
    Abstract: A segmented grouting method for ramp drivage in an aquifer is provided. Concerning grouting reinforcement for a ramp in an aquifer, a grouting process is divided into four stages according to a pressure change, that is, micro-pressure filling, low-pressure diffusion, medium-pressure reinforcement, and high-pressure fracturing. In the micro-pressure filling, an initial pressure of a grouting orifice is 0, and a low-concentration single-component grout is used to fill an original fissure of the aquifer. In the low-pressure diffusion, a low-concentration bicomponent grout is used for grouting, the original fissure is expanded, and a grouting radius is increased. In the medium-pressure reinforcement, a high-concentration bicomponent grout is used for grouting, thereby reinforcing the aquifer. In the high-pressure fracturing, a high-concentration bicomponent grout is used to reinforce a new fractured fissure of the orifice caused by a high pressure and the original fissure, thereby forming a confining bed.

  • Patent number: 11719091
    Abstract: To estimate natural fracture properties based on production from hydraulically fractured wells, a computer system receives hydrocarbon reservoir production information associated with a naturally fractured hydrocarbon reservoir with entrapped hydrocarbons in which a wellbore has been formed to produce the hydrocarbons. The information includes a wellbore pressure measured over production time. From the wellbore pressure, the computer system determines a time rate of change of the wellbore pressure over the production time. From a plot of a logarithmic time rate of change of the wellbore pressure over logarithmic production time, the computer system identifies multiple plot sections, each representing a respective flow regime of a flow of the hydrocarbons from the reservoir.
