Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oilfield production equipment technology, specifically to a photovoltaic direct-drive control system for oil pumping units based on AC / DC dual power supply. Background Technology

[0002] In oilfield production, pumping units are commonly used equipment. However, the potential energy load characteristics of pumping units cause them to generate periodic backflow power during operation. Traditional inverters require large-capacity energy storage devices to feed this backflow power to the grid, which not only increases system costs but also reduces the efficiency of photovoltaic direct drive. Furthermore, when the alternating load fluctuation (CLF) is large, a large-capacity filter capacitor is required on the photovoltaic DC side, limiting the system's dynamic response capability. In addition, existing inverters lack an adaptive balance adjustment mechanism for pumping unit operating conditions, relying on manual parameter tuning, which makes it difficult to cope with sudden changes in downhole fluid volume, resulting in poor system stability and reliability. Therefore, it is necessary to design a photovoltaic direct drive control system and method for pumping units based on AC / DC dual power supply. Utility Model Content

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 3 A photovoltaic direct-drive control system for an oil pumping unit based on AC / DC dual power supply includes a photovoltaic array 1, an AC / DC dual power input inverter 2, an energy-saving braking unit 3, a power frequency bypass switching switch 4, a motor 5, and a control module 6.

[0031] The output terminal of the photovoltaic array 1 is connected to the DC input port of the AC / DC dual-power input inverter 2. The photovoltaic array 1 is connected to the DC input port of the AC / DC dual-power input inverter 2 through a reverse protection diode 11, which is used to prevent reverse current from flowing back into the photovoltaic array. The photovoltaic array is used to convert solar energy into DC power, and its output terminal is connected to the DC input port of the AC / DC dual-power input inverter. The AC / DC dual-power input inverter has dual input ports on the DC side (640V photovoltaic) and the AC side (power grid), and achieves bidirectional energy blocking through a diode rectifier bridge and IGBT parallel structure. This inverter adopts a three-level NPC topology, is compatible with a wide voltage input of 520-800V on the DC side, matches the MPPT range of the photovoltaic panel, and can realize bidirectional conversion between DC power and AC power.

[0032] One end of the power frequency bypass switching switch 4 is connected to the power frequency grid 5, and the other end is connected to the AC input port of the AC / DC dual power input inverter 2. It is used to switch the power supply to the power frequency grid when the photovoltaic power is insufficient, so as to achieve seamless switching between AC and DC power.

[0033] The energy-saving braking unit 3 is connected to the DC bus of the AC / DC dual-power input inverter 2. It uses SiC MOSFETs and corrugated alloy resistors in parallel to achieve fast switching at the 760V threshold (response time < 10ms). When the DC bus voltage reaches 760V, the energy-saving braking unit is triggered, and excess energy is consumed through the energy-saving resistor to suppress back-generating power.

[0034] The motor 5 is connected to the output port of the AC / DC dual power input inverter 2 and is used to drive the oil pumping unit to work.

[0035] The control module 6 is connected to the photovoltaic array 1, the AC / DC dual power input inverter 2, the energy consumption braking unit 3, the power frequency bypass switch 4, and the motor 5, respectively, and is used to control the operation of the entire system.

[0036] A surge protector 12 is connected in series between the power frequency bypass switching switch 4 and the AC input port of the AC / DC dual power input inverter 2. The surge protector 12 is used to suppress overvoltage surges on the power frequency grid side. The energy consumption braking unit 3 is connected in parallel with the DC bus of the AC / DC dual power input inverter 2 through a voltage divider resistor network 13. The output terminal of the voltage divider resistor network 13 is connected to the voltage sampling port of the control module 6, which is used to monitor the DC bus voltage in real time and trigger the energy consumption braking threshold judgment.

[0037] In this invention, the control module 6 includes an initial power-on control logic module 7, a reverse load control algorithm module 8, a DC bus voltage tiered braking module 9, and a load disturbance observer module 10. The initial power-on control logic module 7 controls the initial power-on process of the AC / DC dual-power input inverter, prioritizing DC power supply and seamlessly switching to the AC grid to supplement power when photovoltaic power is insufficient, avoiding voltage dips caused by traditional soft-start circuits. The reverse load control algorithm module 8 monitors the motor torque-speed characteristics in real time, injecting reverse excitation current during the downward phase of the sucker rod to increase electromagnetic resistance and suppress back-generating power. When the motor speed exceeds the synchronous speed, it triggers the d-axis negative current injection, forcing the motor into "energy consumption braking" mode. The DC bus voltage tiered braking module 9 sets the 760V energy consumption resistor trigger threshold and, in conjunction with IGBT chopper control, eliminates the need for back-feedback to the grid. When the DC bus voltage reaches 760V, the energy-consuming braking unit is triggered, which consumes excess energy through the energy-consuming resistor. At the same time, the DC bus voltage is regulated by IGBT chopper control to keep it within a stable range. The load disturbance observer module 10 inverts the downhole load change based on the harmonic components of the motor current, dynamically adjusts the inverter output frequency and duty cycle to maintain the system balance within the range of 0.8-1.2. By performing FFT analysis on the motor current, the harmonic components are extracted to invert the downhole load change. Then, according to the load change, the inverter output frequency and duty cycle are dynamically adjusted to achieve real-time self-correction of the system balance.

[0038] Back-generation suppression control logic: When the control module detects that the motor speed exceeds the synchronous speed, it determines that the sucker rod is in the downward phase. At this time, the reverse load control algorithm module is triggered to inject a negative current into the d-axis of the motor, forcing the motor to enter the "energy-consumption braking" mode, increasing electromagnetic resistance, and suppressing back-generation caused by potential energy release. By monitoring the motor torque-speed characteristics in real time, the magnitude of the injected reverse excitation current is dynamically adjusted to achieve the best back-generation suppression effect.

[0039] CLF Optimization Control Logic: Using the suspension load sensor signal as feedback, the control module dynamically adjusts the stroke rate through a model predictive control (MPC) algorithm to make the load curve approximate the average value. Specifically, the load signal is first collected in real time by the suspension load sensor, then the load signal is input into the model predictive control algorithm to predict the load changes over a future period. Finally, the output frequency of the inverter is dynamically adjusted based on the prediction results, thereby adjusting the stroke rate of the pumping unit to achieve CLF optimization.

[0040] The self-correcting balance control logic works as follows: The control module performs FFT analysis on the motor current through the load disturbance observer module, extracts harmonic components, and inversely reflects changes in the downhole load. When a change in the downhole load is detected, the inverter output frequency and duty cycle are dynamically adjusted to maintain the system balance within the range of 0.8 - 1.2. Through continuous monitoring and adjustment, the system balance is self-corrected, improving system stability and reliability.

[0041] Working principle: A control method for a photovoltaic direct-drive control system for an oil pumping unit based on AC / DC dual power supply, comprising the following steps:

[0042] Step A, AC / DC dual power supply coordinated control: During initial power-on, the photovoltaic array is given priority to be powered by the DC input port of the AC / DC dual power supply input inverter; the photovoltaic power is monitored in real time, and when the photovoltaic power is insufficient, the power frequency bypass switching switch seamlessly switches to the power frequency grid to supplement the power supply through the AC input port of the inverter, avoiding the voltage sag caused by the traditional soft start circuit;

[0043] Step B, Dynamic Back-Generation Suppression: The inverter monitors the motor torque-speed characteristics in real time. When the motor speed exceeds the synchronous speed, a negative current injection on the d-axis is triggered. The inverter injects a reverse excitation current into the motor to increase electromagnetic resistance, suppressing back-generation caused by potential energy release, and reducing alternating load fluctuations by ≥30%. The DC bus voltage is monitored in real time. When the voltage reaches 760V, the SiC MOSFET of the energy-consuming braking unit is triggered to conduct. Energy is consumed through parallel corrugated alloy resistors. In conjunction with the IGBT chopping control of the inverter, the rise of DC bus voltage is suppressed, eliminating the need for back-to-grid power.

[0044] C. Balance self-correction control: The inverter collects the motor current signal, extracts the current harmonic components based on FFT analysis, and inverses the downhole load change; the output frequency and duty cycle of the inverter are dynamically adjusted according to the load change to maintain the system balance within the range of 0.8-1.2.

[0045] In summary, this invention solves the problems of periodic reverse power generation, large dynamic load fluctuations, and difficulty in adjusting system balance in existing technologies, improving the utilization rate of photovoltaic energy, reducing system costs, and enhancing system stability and reliability. Through an AC / DC dual-power supply collaborative control architecture, this invention achieves priority power supply to the DC side of the photovoltaic system and seamless AC grid replenishment, avoiding the voltage sag problem of traditional soft-start circuits. Actual measurement data shows that the photovoltaic direct-drive utilization rate is increased by 15%-20% compared to traditional solutions, reducing dependence on the power frequency grid and lowering energy consumption costs. In this invention, the reverse load control algorithm monitors the motor torque-speed characteristics in real time and injects reverse excitation current during the downward phase of the sucker rod, increasing electromagnetic resistance and suppressing reverse power generation caused by potential energy release, reducing the key parameter alternating load fluctuation by ≥30%. The DC bus voltage tiered braking mechanism sets a 760V energy consumption resistor trigger threshold, combined with IGBT chopper control, to directly consume excess energy, eliminating the need for reverse power generation to be fed back to the grid and avoiding the complexity of traditional inverters relying on energy storage or grid absorption.
