Patent number: 11933159Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: AspenTech CorporationInventors: Ashok Rao, Pedro Alejandro Castillo Castillo, Hong Zhao, Mir Khan, Magiel J.

Publication number: 20230187940Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2023Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Hong Rao, Guiyuan Li, Weihuang Huang, Yan Li, Shukai Xu
