    摘要: A system for providing electrical power includes a high temperature heat source, an ambient temperature heat sink, an ORC generator, a solar thermal collector, and an SDES device. The ORC generator includes a generator working fluid with a boiling temperature greater than an ambient temperature of the ambient temperature heat sink, and the generator working fluid receives heat from the high temperature heat source and exhausts heat to the ambient temperature heat sink. The solar thermal collector is in thermal communication with the high temperature heat source to heat the high temperature heat source. The solar thermal collector includes a photovoltaic (PV) module, and the solar thermal collector is configured to convert a first portion of sunlight to thermal energy and a second portion of the sunlight to electrical energy. The SDES device receives electrical energy from one of the ORC generator and the PV module.

    摘要: A technique for reducing harmonic vibration in a multiplex multi-pump system. The technique includes establishing a lower bound of system specific vibration-related information such as via pressure variation or other vibration indicator. Establishing the lower bound may be achieved through simulation with the system or through an initial sampling period of pump operation. During this time, random perturbations through a subset of the pumps may be utilized to disrupt timing or phase of the subset. Thus, system vibration may randomly increase or decrease upon each perturbation. Regardless, with a sufficient number of sampled perturbations, the lower bound may be established. Therefore, actual controlled system operations may proceed, again employing random perturbations until operation of the system close to the known lower bound is substantially attained.

    摘要: Methods of treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore may include injecting a multistage fracturing treatment into the wellbore comprising one or more stages of geopolymer precursor composition containing a geopolymer precursor and an activator, and one or more stages of a spacer fluid; and curing the one or more stages of geopolymer precursor composition. In another aspect, methods of treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore may include injecting a multistage fracturing treatment into the wellbore that include one or more stages of geopolymer precursor composition, wherein the geopolymer precursor composition includes an emulsion having an oleaginous external phase, and an internal phase comprising one or more surfactants, a geopolymer precursor, and an activator, and one or more stages of a spacer fluid; and curing the one or more stages of geopolymer precursor composition.
