Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of shale gas, and in particular to a control system for a shale gas supply device at a wellhead of a micro gas turbine generator. Background Art

[0002] During the shale gas fracturing process, multiple sets of high-power electrical equipment are required to work continuously, but most gas wells are located in remote areas, and the surrounding power grid facilities cannot guarantee the power supply needs of the electrical equipment required for the fracturing process. Conventional diesel generator sets need to be equipped with a large amount of diesel, and the cost and freight are very high. If shale gas gas turbine generator sets are used, the fuel can be obtained locally, the footprint is small, and it has a greater cost advantage.

[0003] At present, the existing micro gas turbine gas supply control system is generally used for pipeline gas and liquefied natural gas, and cannot be applied to wellhead shale gas. This is because the operating conditions of shale gas wells fluctuate more, and the water hydrocarbon dew point of shale gas is different under different operating conditions. The micro gas turbine can only work normally when the water hydrocarbon dew point of shale gas is within a safe range. However, the target operating condition variation range of the existing system is small, and it is not controlled according to the actual operating condition fluctuation value, but a fixed dew point is directly determined according to the cooling temperature of the system, so it cannot adapt to the shale gas operating condition fluctuation range and the requirements for normal and stable operation of the gas turbine; at the same time, the liquid level control of the existing system is difficult to adapt to the operating condition variation range of shale gas wells. For example, most of the systems use water valves, which automatically discharge when there is liquid and automatically close after draining. Once the steam trap is selected, the reliability of automatic closing is related to the operating parameters of the gas, but the shale gas pressure and flow variation range is large. When there may be other pressure changes in a large range, the steam trap cannot be closed in time or reliably. Summary of the invention

Through early prediction means, such as test wells, the shale gas inlet temperature variation range, flow variation range, pressure variation range, component variation range and water content variation range are obtained, and then the highest and lowest values ​​of the dew point are determined, and n intermediate values ​​(n≥0) are determined by interpolation method, and finally the theoretical dew point values ​​under different working conditions are obtained: the highest value, the lowest value, the intermediate value 1...intermediate value n (n≥0). The logic judgment system 3 stores the dew point theoretical value and its corresponding shale gas inlet temperature, flow and pressure in the shale gas parameter group of the parameter setting system 2, and at the same time determines the refrigerant flow and the refrigerant temperature at the cooler inlet corresponding to different dew point theoretical values ​​and stores them in the shale gas parameter group of the parameter setting system 2; the parameter setting system 2 has built-in shale gas components, and the operator can also obtain real-time shale gas components through the gas chromatograph, and store the real-time shale gas components in the shale gas parameter group of the parameter setting system 2; the logic judgment command system 3 determines the shale gas inlet temperature, flow and pressure of the shale gas according to the shale gas components transmitted by the parameter setting system 2 and the operating condition parameter signal acquisition system 1.

If the deviation between the temperature detected by the operating parameter signal acquisition system 1 and the target value exceeds the allowable temperature deviation range, the logic judgment command system 3 issues an adjustment instruction, and the operator adjusts the opening of the cooler refrigerant bypass valve until the requirements are met, so as to achieve continuous stability of the outlet temperature of the refrigeration unit under different working conditions, so that water vapor and heavy hydrocarbons can be condensed and precipitated when the working conditions fluctuate, thereby achieving stable control of the water hydrocarbon dew point, meeting the requirements of the micro gas turbine for the shale gas water hydrocarbon dew point, and ensuring the normal and stable operation of the micro gas turbine. Optionally, the refrigeration unit can be replaced by a cold dryer; the refrigerant flow rate can be automatically controlled, and the refrigerant inlet and outlet valves of the cooler can be replaced with electric or pneumatic regulating valves.

[0023] The liquid level control system 9 includes a liquid level detection element, an automatic sewage valve, a manual sewage valve, a one-way valve, a separator and a sewage pipe. The manual sewage valve is connected in parallel with the automatic sewage valve for sewage discharge.

When the liquid level reaches the high adjustment value, the logic judgment command system 3 issues an instruction to open the automatic sewage valve for sewage discharge. When the liquid level reaches the low adjustment value, the logic judgment command system 3 issues an instruction to close the automatic sewage valve. Shut-off valves are set before and after the automatic sewage valve. When the automatic sewage valve fails, sewage can be discharged through the manual sewage valve.

According to the obtained current dew point value and the flow variation range of shale gas obtained by prediction in the early stage, the sewage discharge amount required by the liquid level control system 9 is obtained. In combination with the diameter of the separator, the diameter of the sewage pipe and the actual flow value of shale gas obtained, the theoretical time range for the automatic sewage valve to be opened is determined and stored in the parameter setting system 2. The flow meter measures the actual shale gas flow within the theoretical time range and stores it in the parameter setting system 2. The logic judgment system 3 calculates the cumulative flow of shale gas before the automatic sewage valve is opened, and converts it into the liquid volume that the separator needs to discharge. Combined with the real-time liquid level, the actual time when the automatic sewage valve needs to be opened is obtained. The actual time obtained is compared with the fixed liquid storage time of the liquid level control system 9, and the smaller value between the two is taken as the optimal opening time of the automatic sewage valve, so as to achieve accurate sewage discharge, further improve the ability to prevent sewage cross-gas, and thus achieve accurate and reliable control of the dew point. According to the current dew point value obtained, the temperature control target value z is obtained by the temperature control target value z=(current dew point value+y)℃ (y≥0, y is the margin required by the gas engine, corresponding to the requirements of the gas engine). The parameter setting system 2 is provided with an allowable temperature deviation range. The logic judgment command system 3 compares the shale gas outlet temperature collected by the operating parameter signal acquisition system 1 with the temperature control target value z to prevent the continuous precipitation of water hydrocarbons in the shale gas outlet: when the collected temperature is lower than the temperature control target value z, the logic judgment command system 3 issues an instruction to turn on the heating unit of the temperature control system 7 to increase the temperature until the temperature reaches the allowable temperature deviation range close to the temperature control target value z; when the collected temperature is higher than the temperature control target value z, the logic judgment command system 3 issues an instruction to turn off the heating unit to save system electricity and reduce the overall operating cost.
