摘要:
A method for changing a set point of a system where period of a dominant resonance of the system is determined, a change profile for the set point change is processed; a time period for the set point change based on the period of the dominant resonance in order to minimize excitation of the dominant resonance is also processed; and the set point change is actioned according to the processed change profile and the time period.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of damping stick-slip oscillations in a drill string, to a method of drilling a borehole, to a drilling mechanism for use in drilling a borehole, to an electronic controller for use with a drilling mechanism, and to a method of upgrading a drilling mechanism on a drilling rig. Aspects of the present invention are based on the insight that a PI or PID controller can in fact be used to obtain significant damping of stick-slip oscillations by the drilling mechanism. In particular it was found that a PI or PID controller can be tuned to ensure efficient damping torsional wave energy at and/or near the fundamental mode of stick-slip frequency. A further insight on which certain embodiments are based is that both the fundamental and one or more higher mode (e.g. second natural mode and greater) oscillation can also be damped by reducing the effective inertia of the drilling mechanism, which may be achieved in several different ways.

A system for damping audible noise from a drive train (10). One embodiment is a system with an audible noise signal (30) from a drive train wherein a damping circuit (40) produces a damping torque that is a phase shifted and amplified version of the noise signal that is applied (55) to the air-gap torque of a generator (20) or motor coupled to the drive train (10) and effectively reduces the audible noise.
摘要:
A method of damping stick-slip oscillations in a drill string (12), which method comprises the steps of: (a) damping said stick-slip oscillations using a drilling mechanism (30) at the top of said drill string (12); and (b) controlling the speed of rotation of said drilling mechanism (30) using a PI controller; characterised by the steps of (c) tuning said PI controller so that said drilling mechanism (30) absorbs most torsional energy from said drill string (12) at a frequency that is at or near a fundamental frequency of said stick-slip oscillations; and (d) reducing an effective inertia of said drilling mechanism (30), whereby a damping effect of said drilling mechanism is increased for frequencies above said fundamental frequency.
