The Prince valve models RD-100 is pressure compensated adjustable flow control valves. By rotating the handle, the flow out the “CF”, or controlled flow port, can be varied from approximately 0 to the maximum controlled flow shown in the chart below. Any remaining flow is bypassed to the “EF” or excess flow port. This flow can be used to power another circuit or can be returned to tank. Once the controlled flow is set it will remain nearly constant with variations in pressure on either the controlled or excess flow ports. Please note: If during operation the controlled flow port is blocked the valve will compensate in such a way as to shut off flow to the excess port. These valves can also be used as a restrictive flow control by plugging the excess flow port.

Flow Control

The wireline company may also be employed to carry out maintenance, either as a routine measure, or in direct response to a situation that may have developed. A wireline services company can prove invaluable to oil or gas operators as their services can be deployed under pressure without damage to the well.

In general terms, the wireline services company will run a single strand wire, or a multi-strand wire, into the gas or oil well. This may be done to set flow control on various devices. It may also be performed for processes of clean out, or to place instruments that will gather readings of temperature or pressure in order to establish an accurate monitoring of the situation within the well.

Pressure control equipment used by a wireline company must be designed to withstand extremes of pressure and temperature. The equipment will often withstand pressures up to 15,000 pounds per square inch. It will also be designed to withstand the kind of corrosion attack it is likely to encounter inside an oil or gas well. Pressure control equipment can come in various sizes. It can be used through a bore hole as small as two and a half inches diameter, or as large as one nine inches in diameter.

What are the Advantages For the Oil and Gas Industry?

Wireline services provide the oil and gas production industry with a relatively low cost solution to one of their most basic needs. They are readily available, which makes them essential to the industry when facing problems involving through-tubing. Oil and gas well operators find this helps in reducing down-hole costs of production and maintenance. This can be extended throughout the entire lifetime of the well, making it an obvious solution of choice.

One of the biggest advantages for an oil well producer in using a wireline service company is that wireline tasks can easily be performed while a well is under pressure. This has the obvious advantage that the well does not need to be killed, thereby cutting out all the associated costs and problems with that exercise.

Production can continue unhindered and there is no time lost. Killing a well is costly and time consuming, and damage can occur. Additionally, it is time consuming and costly getting a well back into production. A company with the necessary experience required can eliminate the need for such an operation. Wireline service companies work all over the world offering their expertise to oil an gas companies operating from the North Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico to the Ivory Coast and Azerbaijan.

Wireline open-hole logging can provide a widely varied continuous record of measurements within an oil well, such as hydrogen content, bulk density, and the natural and induced radioactivity levels, and more. Companies offering wireline services have the expertise through their engineers to perform the necessary operations safely and cheaply, making them an invaluable service to the industry.

Load Controller and Var Compensator Design for a Micro Grid System

1.      Introduction

The micro grid system is as shown in the Fig.1.The recent concept of micro grid system is to group a cluster of loads and parallel DG system within a certain local area. In remote areas when two or more DGs are interconnected formed micro grid system. Micro grid system can operate in both the grid connected mode or islanding modes.

Proper operation of these modes requires the implementation of high performance power flow control and voltage regulation algorithms [1,2].

Fig. 1. Micro grid System

Three critical components play major roles in the proper operation of micro grid in both modes [3]. They are

· Local micro source controller

· System optimizer

· Distribution protection

2.      Plant Design

Micro source controller is an important component of the micro grid system. It provides a basic control of real and reactive power using droop characteristics. All the sources are connected to the point of common coupling (PCC) after dc voltage sources are converted to an acceptable ac sources using voltage source inverter (fig.1). Energy manager provides the system optimization. Energy manager uses the information on local load needs, power quality requirement, demand side management request etc to determine the amount of power that micro grid should draw from the main grid. Based on the information it receives, some of its key functions are to provide the individual power and voltage set points for each micro source controller, provides logic and control for islanding and reconnecting the micro grid during events.

Protection is necessary in the event of fault in the micro grid system. If the fault occurs in the main grid then it should be isolated from the main grid as rapidly as possible. If the fault occurs within the micro grid system the protection coordinate should isolated the smallest possible section of the feeder to eliminate the fault.

Induction motor is used as an induction generator when electricity is generated from micro hydel units (fig. 2) or from wind turbines. Induction generators have many advantages over synchronous generator such as ruggedness, less maintenance requirements, absence of dc excitation and inherent short circuit protection when working as a stand alone low cost energy conversion schemes. On the other hand an induction generator has some drawbacks, as it requires reactive power to improve the voltage regulation. In addition to this induction generator used in micro hydel scheme, converts all available mechanical energy into electrical energy to eliminate the controller for the turbine.

3.     Micro Hydel Units

Controller on turbine side is avoided to make the system simple and cost effective. Thus, whenever the consumer load is reduced, the surplus generated energy from induction generator must be dumped somewhere else so as to maintain constant voltage and frequency in the system. These drawbacks can be overcome by using an electronic load controller and VAR compensator. Already many different types of electronic load controller exist for the stand-alone system. When several induction generators involve in a micro grid system, reactive power compensation required by these generator become more significant and high performance power flow control and voltage regulation algorithms are required.

Fig.2 Micro Hydel units for stand alone

System

On the other hand consumer load is fluctuating and varies continuously. This type of load can be named as uncontrolled load. Whenever micro grid system is operating in an islanding mode the unbalanced surplus electrical energy must be dumped to maintain the input essentially constant. This can be achieving by using load controller, which diverts the surplus energy to dump load placed parallel to uncontrolled load.
