One of the key reliability issues is the treatment and management of torsional vibrations. The torsional behavior impacts shaft endurance limits and operational flexibility. In this paper, a methodology used to ensure torsional integrity in standardized Electric-motor-driven gas compressor packages is described. The electric drive (\"drive\")may be a variable frequency drive (VFD), or a constant speed electric motor. In addition to steady-state torsional analysis, the drive harmonics from electrical sources (steady-state pulsation) and the drive’s characteristics at fault-events such as phase-tophase faults (transients) are incorporated into the torsional model to perform a complete torsional analysis. Shaft stresses are evaluated over a wide range of motor frame sizes, and consequently couplings and gearboxes. Couplings and gearboxes are designed to handle the mean torque and peak transient torques as appropriate.","PeriodicalId":276673,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee Conference (PCIC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129154331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Connecting to utility power can realize many benefits including reduction in energy cost, site emissions, noise pollution, and truck traffic; however, this may not be practical in all locations.

Furthermore, wireless technology can be an effective means to extend or supplement existing hardwired installations. Advancements in wireless technology provide ripostes to common issues encountered in an industrial facility, interference chief among them. Selection of wireless, hardwired, or a combination of both technologies depends on several considerations such as overall installation complexity, area of installation, monitoring and control communication requirements and cost. Wireless is typically applied for a variety of reasons - as a means to reduce Total Installed Cost (TlC), to provide communications to less accessible locations, and to reduce overall implementation time. The design and implementation of wireless systems pose several new and interesting challenges resulting in the creation of new design practices and execution procedures. The wireless solutions created to overcome multiple trace heating communication challenges at a North American petrochemical facility resulted in valuable insight, considerations and recommendations for future installations. As demonstrated in this application, wireless systems designed and implemented in a concise and logical manner can be an attractive alternative to hardwired systems.","PeriodicalId":276673,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee Conference (PCIC)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134094723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Not all VSDs are equal considering the implications of various topologies utilized in LV and MV VSD designs and the types of pulse width modulation (PWM) circuits commonly used in the oil field industry. VSD output issues that affect ESPs will be the primary focus of this paper and will be analyzed including current harmonics, ringing, pulsing torques, voltage transients, voltage stress, dv/dt, voltage reflections, and bearing currents (fluting). Present day solutions that extend runtime for ESPs based on input and output filtering will be described. New filter design techniques are presented utilizing developed computer models matched to actual measurements. In conclusion, several LV and MV ESP drive case studies using computer simulations and field measurements corroborate the new solutions.","PeriodicalId":276673,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee Conference (PCIC)","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116041753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
