  • Patent number: 11933159
    Abstract: A method and system for estimating wax or hydrate deposits is desirable for the oil industry and important for assuring flow conditions and production, avoiding downtime, and reducing or preventing costly interventions. The method and system disclosed herein use artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques combined with oil well historical operational sensor data and historical operational event records (such as diesel hot flush, slick line, coil tubing, etc.) to build an oil well model. The method and system enable oil well practitioners to test and validate the built model and deploy the model online to estimate and/or detect wax or hydrate deposition status. By using one or more such models in operating an oil well, users can monitor and/or detect the status of wax of hydrate deposits in an oil well and can optimize production, maintenance, and planning for oil wells.

  • Publication number: 20240077977
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for predicting a touch interaction position on a large display based on a binocular camera. The method includes: separately acquiring arm movement video frames of a user and facial and eye movement video frames of the user by a binocular camera; extracting a video clip of each tapping action from the arm movement video frames and the facial and eye movement video frames and obtaining a key frame by screening; marking the key frame of each tapping action with coordinates to indicate coordinates of a finger in a display screen; inputting the marked key frame to an efficient convolutional network for online video understanding (ECO)-Lite neural network for training to obtain a predictive network model; and inputting a video frame of a current operation to be predicted to the predictive network model and outputting a touch interaction position predicted for the current operation.

  • Publication number: 20230187940
    Abstract: Disclosed are a voltage source converter based high voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) high-frequency resonance suppression method, system, and device. The method includes: when an effective value of an actually input alternating current (AC) voltage is reduced from a normal value to meet a preset condition, making the virtual electrical quantity completely equal to the actual electrical quantity, and performing full real-time tracking for the actual electrical quantity to improve dynamic characteristics of a power system at the moment of a fault; and after performing the full tracking for a period of time, if the effective value of the actual AC voltage is less than a preset threshold, performing adaptive tracking until the actual electrical quantity recovers to a stable value. The present disclosure can reduce a risk of high-frequency resonance of a VSC-HVDC, avoid deteriorating dynamic characteristics of the VSC-HVDC, and improve safety of fault ride-through of the VSC-HVDC.

  • Publication number: 20180218097
    Abstract: A modeling method and system for a diode clamped cascaded multi-level converter. All corresponding diodes of each bridge arm are equivalent to an auxiliary diode; all corresponding capacitors of each bridge arm are equivalent to a controlled voltage source; and power modules of each bridge arm are connected in series to be equivalent to an equivalent module, the equivalent module comprising a loss resistor and a composite equivalent model connected to the loss resistor. Since a plurality of components, at the same positions, in each power module of each bridge arm of the diode clamped cascaded multi-level converter are equivalent to a component, the node voltage equation order can be reduced, the simulation efficiency is improved, and the simulation efficiency cannot be reduced with the increase in the number of power modules.
