Abstract
This paper is concerned with the interval estimation problem of the dynamic liquid level for sucker-rod pumping systems via dynamometer cards. Firstly, a surface dynamometer card-based dynamic liquid level model is established in terms of the operational mechanism of the pump and the dynamics of the rod strings. Then, an underdamped oscillation method and a boxplot-based denoising method are developed respectively to determine the damping coefficient in the dynamics of the rod strings and deal with the uncertainties in the dynamometer card. Based on these, a finite difference-based interval estimation strategy is proposed to determine dynamic liquid level via the surface dynamometer card. Finally, simulation results with the field measurements demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.
期刊介绍:
Control Engineering Practice strives to meet the needs of industrial practitioners and industrially related academics and researchers. It publishes papers which illustrate the direct application of control theory and its supporting tools in all possible areas of automation. As a result, the journal only contains papers which can be considered to have made significant contributions to the application of advanced control techniques. It is normally expected that practical results should be included, but where simulation only studies are available, it is necessary to demonstrate that the simulation model is representative of a genuine application. Strictly theoretical papers will find a more appropriate home in Control Engineering Practice''s sister publication, Automatica. It is also expected that papers are innovative with respect to the state of the art and are sufficiently detailed for a reader to be able to duplicate the main results of the paper (supplementary material, including datasets, tables, code and any relevant interactive material can be made available and downloaded from the website). The benefits of the presented methods must be made very clear and the new techniques must be compared and contrasted with results obtained using existing methods. Moreover, a thorough analysis of failures that may happen in the design process and implementation can also be part of the paper.
The scope of Control Engineering Practice matches the activities of IFAC.
Papers demonstrating the contribution of automation and control in improving the performance, quality, productivity, sustainability, resource and energy efficiency, and the manageability of systems and processes for the benefit of mankind and are relevant to industrial practitioners are most welcome.
