Anosov A.A., Efitov G.L., Shaidullin R.A., Golovanov Yu.V., Korolev A.V.  The influence of laboratory errors on the efficiency of a refinery fuel blending control system

The paper discusses the role of laboratory as a key element in fuel blending process control and proposes to introduce a non-rejection limit for commercial grade fuels. It analyzes the causes of quality runaway and the ways to minimize it in offline and online optimization systems. With the case study of Omsk Refinery the paper analyzes the operation of an online NIR analyzer, checks the validity of a calibration model by means of applied statistics, offers and calculates setpoint correction for online optimization. The ways to optimize laboratory performance are proposed.

Keywords: error, non-rejection limit, quality giveaway, laboratory, online analysis, offline and online optimization.

Nikulin O.V., Zhilenkov A.A., Cherniy S.G.  Experimental research of power quality at a drilling rig with online power supply

The paper analyses power quality at drilling rigs with online supply based on authors' field investigations. It examines the influence of the controlled electric drive of drilling rig's basic mechanisms on the key power quality indicators and their compliance with standards and guidelines subject to exogenous factors. The investigations were undertaken by the authors for online- and offline-powered drilling rigs located at Azov and Black Sea shelf (Crimea Republic) and at oil fields in Tatarstan Republic.

Keywords: shelf, harmonic component, drilling rig, distortion, reliability.

Vasiliev B.Yu.  Energy-efficient multimotor electrical drive with individual drive motor control and active power factor correction

The paper examines multimotor electrical drives with various frequency converter structures: with a common converter, with individual converters, and with a multi-inverter shifter. It shows that multi-inverter circuits with an active rectifier ensure the best energy efficiency of a multimotor drive. Unified control of an active rectifier and electric motors integrated in process control look the most rational choice for multimotor drive's control architecture and algorithms. An example of a multimotor drive design for a water pumping unit of a heat power station is cited; simulation results are included. Application efficiency of the proposed control structures and systems is analyzed.

Keywords: multimotor electrical drive, induction motor, multi-inverter frequency shifter
