For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 , which shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the high-power electric heating power regulation system of the present invention. Figure 2 , shows a schematic structural diagram of the power regulating device of the present invention.

[0030] The present invention provides a high-power electric heating power regulation system, which is mainly used to achieve accurate control of underground steam dryness value, while reducing the exploitation cost of the oil reservoir and improving the overall economic benefits of the system.

[0031] Specifically, the high-power electric heating power regulation system 100 includes a power regulation device 101, a downhole electric heater 102, a control system 103 and a dryness sensor 104; the power regulation device 101 is connected to the downhole electric heater 102 via a cable, and the power regulation device 101 is connected to the control system 103 via an optical fiber, and the power regulation device 101 is used to control the heating power of the downhole electric heater 102; the control system 103 is connected to the power regulation device 101 and the dryness sensor 104 via an optical fiber, and the control system 103 is used to control the output power of the power regulation device 101, and monitor the steam dryness value obtained by the dryness sensor 104; the downhole electric heater 102 is connected to the power regulation device 101 via a cable, and the downhole electric heater 102 is used to control the steam dryness value downhole; the dryness sensor 104 is connected to the control system 103 via an optical fiber, and the dryness sensor 104 is used to obtain the steam dryness value downhole.

[0032] In the process of steam injection in existing steam injection wells, as the depth of the steam injection well increases, the steam quality value of the steam in the steam injection well will gradually decrease. When the steam quality value in the steam injection well is too low, it cannot meet the requirements of heavy oil production in the set deep layer.

[0033] Therefore, the present application provides a high-power electric heating power regulation system 100 including a power regulation device 101, a downhole electric heater 102, a control system 103 and a dryness sensor 104. The downhole electric heater 102 heats the steam in the steam injection well, thereby increasing the steam dryness value of the steam corresponding to different depths. When the steam dryness value is too low, it cannot meet the production requirements of the steam injection well at a set depth. In addition, when the steam dryness value is too high, the heat exchange efficiency between the downhole steam and the heater will be reduced. If production is carried out at the current low heat exchange efficiency, the heating cost will be increased, resulting in a significant increase in production costs and reduced economic benefits.

[0034] Based on this, by setting the steam dryness sensor 104 in the high-power electric heating power regulation system 100, the steam dryness value of the steam in the steam injection well is obtained in real time. Then, the steam dryness value of the steam in the steam injection well is monitored in real time by the control system 103, and based on the steam dryness value, the output power of the power regulation device 101 is controlled. According to different output powers, the heating power of the downhole electric heater 102 is controlled, thereby controlling the steam dryness value of the steam in the steam injection well.

[0035] Furthermore, the power regulation device 101 also includes a main control cabinet 105, which is connected to the power unit cabinet 107 via optical fiber, and the main control cabinet 105 is connected to the human-machine interface 106 via a port. The main control cabinet 105 is used to detect the input voltage and current and the output voltage and current of the power regulation device 101, and is used to control the power unit cabinet 107 and the human-machine interface 106.

[0036] In this embodiment, the main control cabinet 105 transmits control data to the power unit cabinet 107 through optical fiber, thereby driving the rectifier module and the inverter module in the power unit cabinet 107. Based on the control data transmitted by the main control cabinet 105, the output voltage of the rectifier module and the inverter module is controlled. It is also possible to feed back the status in the power unit cabinet 107 to the main control cabinet 105. In addition, the control cabinet transmits control data to the power unit cabinet 107 through optical fiber, thereby driving the unit bypass module in the power unit cabinet 107, and feeding back the status of the bypass contactor in the unit bypass module to the control cabinet.

[0037] Furthermore, the power regulating device 101 also includes a human-machine interface 106 , which is connected to the main control cabinet 105 via a port. The human-machine interface 106 is used to provide real-time feedback on various states and parameters of the power regulating device 101 and to set various functions of the power regulating device 101 .

[0038] In this embodiment, the human-machine interface 106 includes three functions: status and parameter display, parameter setting, and system control. Through the status and parameter display function, various states and parameters of the power regulating device 101 can be fed back in real time. Through the parameter setting function, the parameters of the power regulating device 101 can be set. Through the system control function, the charging, starting, stopping and resetting functions of the power regulating device 101 can be realized.

[0039] Furthermore, the power regulating device 101 further includes a power unit cabinet 107 , which is connected to the main control cabinet 105 via an optical fiber, and is used to obtain an AC voltage with adjustable frequency and voltage.

[0040] In this embodiment, the high-voltage input voltage is stepped down and isolated by the phase-shifting transformer 109 and then transmitted to the power unit cabinet 107. The input AC voltage is converted into a DC voltage by the rectifier module in the power unit cabinet 107. The obtained DC voltage is then converted into an AC voltage by the inverter module, and the AC voltage is PWM modulated to obtain an AC voltage with adjustable frequency and voltage.

[0041] Furthermore, the power regulating device 101 further includes a filter cabinet 108 , which is connected to the power unit cabinet 107 . The filter cabinet 108 is used to control the waveform corresponding to the output voltage of the power regulating device 101 .

[0042] In this embodiment, since the harmonic peak of the output voltage of the power unit cabinet 107 is large, it may cause an impact on the grid voltage. Therefore, in order to solve the above problem, a filter cabinet 108 can be connected to the output end of the power unit cabinet 107. Through the filter cabinet 108, the voltage with a large harmonic peak can be filtered to obtain a sine wave with a better waveform, and the overall harmonic of the above sine wave is controlled to be less than a preset threshold.

[0043] Furthermore, the power regulating device 101 further includes a phase-shifting transformer 109 , which is connected to the power unit cabinet 107 . The phase-shifting transformer 109 is used to control the phase of the input voltage and increase or decrease the input voltage.

[0044] Furthermore, the power unit cabinet 107 also includes a rectifier module (not shown in the figure), which is used to convert alternating current into direct current.

[0045] Furthermore, the power unit cabinet 107 further includes an inverter module (not shown in the figure), and the inverter module is used to convert direct current into alternating current.

[0046] Furthermore, the power unit cabinet 107 further includes a unit bypass module (not shown in the figure), which is used to control the conduction of the voltage in the power unit cabinet 107 .

[0047] In this embodiment, the unit bypass module receives control data from the main control cabinet 105 through optical fiber, thereby driving the bypass contactor in the unit bypass module according to the control data, and can feed back the state of the bypass contactor to the main control cabinet 105. If a power unit cabinet 107 fails, the unit bypass module will control the bypass contactor to short-circuit the corresponding power unit bypass, so that it can continue to work in a non-shutdown state.

[0048] Furthermore, the high-power electric heating power regulation system 100 also includes a power supply device 110 , which is used to supply power to the components in the high-power electric heating power regulation system 100 .

[0049] It can be seen from the above technical solution that the present invention has at least the following advantages and positive effects:

[0050] First, the steam dryness value in the steam injection well is obtained through the dryness sensor. Then, the obtained steam dryness value is transmitted to the control system through optical fiber transmission. Since the steam dryness value requirements at different depths are inconsistent, the control system analyzes the requirements for different steam dryness values ​​and the obtained steam dryness value in the well to determine the heating power corresponding to different depths. Based on this, the control system transmits the output power control instruction obtained from the analysis to the power regulation device. In response to the above control instruction, the power regulation device controls the downhole heater to heat according to the output power in the instruction, thereby realizing accurate control of the downhole steam dryness value.

[0051] In summary, the present invention can quickly and accurately adjust the output voltage of the downhole electric heater, change the heating power of the downhole electric heater, and perform secondary heating on the steam injected into the downhole. By reasonably controlling the power operation of the downhole electric heater, it can not only control the mining requirements of deep oil reservoirs, but also save electricity costs, improve the economic benefits of mining, and greatly improve the recovery rate of deep well oil reservoirs without polluting the surrounding environment, realizing clean energy substitution.

[0052] Although the present invention has been described with reference to several typical embodiments, it should be understood that the terms used are illustrative and exemplary, rather than restrictive. Since the present invention can be embodied in a variety of forms without departing from the spirit or essence of the invention, it should be understood that the above embodiments are not limited to any of the foregoing details, but should be interpreted broadly within the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims, so all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the appended claims.
