Abstract

The automation of down-hole drilling systems necessitates reliable and precise control design. However, directly testing a newly designed controller in a full-scale drilling rig is both challenging and costly due to the instrument’s large size and its depth exceeding 10,000 ft. As an intermediate step, testing controls on a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) setup can serve as a valuable approach for analyzing control performance, thereby preparing for future full-scale testing. This paper outlines the construction of an HIL system and the design of a state-barrier avoidance controller to regulate the system. The control results demonstrate the potential of this proposed approach for future field studies.

基于硬件在环的实验室规模井下钻机的设计与控制

井下钻井系统的自动化需要可靠、精确的控制设计。然而，在全尺寸钻井平台上直接测试新设计的控制器既具有挑战性，又成本高昂，因为仪器尺寸大，深度超过10,000英尺。作为中间步骤，在硬件在环（HIL）装置上测试控制可以作为分析控制性能的有价值的方法，从而为未来的全尺寸测试做准备。本文概述了一种高强度混合动力系统的结构，并设计了一种状态-障碍回避控制器对系统进行调节。控制结果证明了该方法在未来野外研究中的潜力。

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.
