Abstract. This work is devoted to intensification of the power efficiency of computerized systems of control by the pumping units group of oil pumping stations of the main lines. The criterion of the energy efficiency is a minimum total energy loss. The goal set can be reached by the development of algorithms of the energy efficient control. The most important scientific result based on the identification of the mathematical models of the objects controlled is the efficient algorithm for controlling the group of oil pumping units. It allows determining in real time the operation modes of separate pumping units, upon which the total energy losses will be minimal. The significance of the results obtained consists in the energy losses decrease across the main oil pipeline during the combined control by the pumping units groups. Their practical significance consists in decreasing the cost of oil transportation at the expense of decreasing the energy consumed by the pumping units. The main stages of plotting the modes maps were presented of the efficient operation of the pumping units based on the definition of the necessary rotation frequencies and positions of the regulating valves. Experimentally was performed the analysis of the operation modes of the pumping unit using different methods for productivity regulation, and their comparative energy efficiency was shown. The experimental data extrapolation was carried out, and, on its basis, the possible economic effect was determined brought by the use of the energy-conserving systems of the controlling the group of pumping systems.

INTRODUCTION

The share of oil and gas in the energy balance of industrially developed countries is about 7580 %. Regardless of high efforts made in using the traditional and renewable sources of energy, this situation will remain unchanged for the nearest decades.

The necessity of transportation of significant volumes of oil and gas resulted in the intense development of the pipeline service as the most efficient economically [1].

The Ukraine is a powerful transiting channel of oil and gas. The Ukraine main oil line system includes 19 oil pipelines with a diameter of 1220 mm and total length of about 4800 km (e. g., Germany - 3380 km), 51 oil pumping station (OPS), whose operation is ensured by 176 pumping units at a unit productivity to 12500 m3/h. The overall electric power of the electric drives is around 360 000 kW. The system discharge capacity is 114 mln t/year at the input and over 56 mln t/year at the output. The total nominal capacity of eleven reservoir parks of the main oil pipes system is over 1 mln m3.

Oil transportation requires substantial energy consumption to drive the pump units of the oil pumping stations [2-4]. In this context, the urgent problem is the energy consumption decrease using the development and implementation of the energy saving systems of automatic regulation (SAR) of oil pumping units, which are component parts of the complex

systems of the computerized control (SCC) for the oil transportation. They ensure the maximum value of the coefficient of efficiency (CEV) of the units by means of the optimal regulation of the rotation frequency.

The increase in the efficiency of the pumping units of the oil pumping stations is an important and urgent technical economic problem for the improvement of the technical economic characteristics of the main oil lines and for reducing the oil transportation cost.

In this way, this research is aimed at increasing energy efficiency of the pumping station units operation by improving the control systems, which ensure the minimum energy losses during the oil transportation.

The objects of the study are the processes of enhancing the operation efficiency of the pumping units of the oil pumping stations under normal modes of exploitation.

The objects of the research are scientific methods and technical means for the decreasing the energy losses in the oil transportation process under normal exploitation modes of the pumping units.

ANALYSIS OF RECENT RESEARCHES AND PUBLICATIONS

The research and optimization of the control systems of the main oil lines are performed by an appreciable quantity of European and world research teams. The design features and mechanics of the pumping units are studied

fairly thoroughly. The advanced model pumping units with the improved technical economic characteristics are used successfully in all spheres of industry [5-8].

Much attention is given to the pumping units regulation [8-20]. The energy efficiency of the pumps is shown to depend above all on the regulation method selected and on the network characteristics they work for.

High success was achieved in the development of mathematical models of the elements and pumping units joint connections, including the pumps of the oil pumping stations [21-29].

At the same time, at present, the universal scientific methods and technical solutions are almost absent, which would guarantee the existence of the OPS operation energy efficient modes over the entire range of the normal modes of exploitation [16, 26].

The analysis performed set the research problem consisting in improving the energy-conserving systems of control by the pumping units of the oil pumping stations of the main oil lines, developing the efficient algorithms to ensure minimum energy losses in the oil pipeline upon maintaining the technological parameters.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Analysis of the existing normative and methodical support in creation the systems of control by the pumping units of the main oil pipelines showed that at present in the normative-technical and normative methodical documentation, the requirements as to the creation and exploitation of the systems of control by the main oil pipelines that ensure maximum operation efficiency of the pumping units and maintain their action at the coefficient of efficiency highest levels, are not quite fully formulated.

The main oil pipeline is a complicated structure, which consists of separate oil pumping stations with pumping units of various power (Fig. 1).

The crucial issue is the method for the pumps regulation. The most promising is the frequency regulation principle [15, 27]. Unlike other methods, it has minimum energy losses for the oil transportation. In addition, due to the possibility of smooth regulation, it considerably improves startability and exploitation characteristics of the pumps and extends their service life. At the same time, the great variety of the regulation methods and the optimization variants of the operation modes of the main oil

pipelines systems makes it possible to conclude a substantial variability of the modes selection criteria [11].

The developed functional schemes of the pumping units as the objects of control (Fig. 2), can be the basis for creation consistent solutions, i.e., the system of control by any pump of the main oil pipeline can be characterized using the following set of vectors: - input parameters (regulation parameters)

Xinput — X input ^ Xin

input ;

X

- output parameters (parameters controlled at the output ) X output;

- pump internal parameters X int;

- environmental factors (periodic and occasional)

- energy (power) loss parameters X loss .

The input parameters can include alternatives such as the position of the regulating valve , the pump unit rotation frequency n, and the blade angle of rotation au .

These and other parameters are regulated by the executing mechanisms EM according to the algorithm, which is being formed in the EM regulator. The output parameters include the values of pressure (P) and consumption (Q) created by the pumping unit, the useful power (Nuf )and consumed power (Ncons); as well as the pump coefficient of efficiency (n). The

vector of internal parameters Xint includes design characteristics of the pumping unit and hydraulic circuit, which the pumping unit works

for. The vector of environmental factors 1 includes eventual temperature changes and other environmental parameters in the process of exploitation. The major intended purpose of the regulation principle proposed is determination of real ratios for the controlled input parameters, which ensure the value of the minimum energy losses throughout the entire normal exploitation (with any vector values of the output parameters

Generally, the function of the energy losses in where n, m, k, l is the quantity of significant the pumping unit is determined by the sum of mechanic, hydrogasdynamic, thermal, electric

mechanic Emech, hydrogasdynamic Egd, thermal Et and electric Eel losses in certain elements

and processes occurring in the pumping unit. It can be represented as follows:

Total energy losses in the OPS pumps depend on the oil consumption and pumps' rotation frequency:

parameters. The values of coefficients A can be determined by the experimental data resulting from approximation of full-scale and current exploitation characteristics with respect to dependences (5).

In dependences (5) AtJi is the dependency

From equations (6-8) we shall find the required rotation frequency of the pump, which is controlled (having the frequency regulator) and corresponds to the coefficient of efficiency maximum:

and the value of the regulation valves positions, upon which the coefficient of efficiency maximum of the oil pumping station will be maximal:

X = Ai8ni + Ai9,

(10)

where Arl, Ar2■> As > A9 are the approximation

coefficients of the characteristics of separate pumping units.

Using the frequency method of control under the decrease in rotation frequency, the hydraulic pressure is reduced. The theoretical meaning of consumption, to which we can efficiently apply the frequency regulation, is determined by the construction design of the pumping unit and is within the range of about 30 % from minimum to maximum. Based on determination of the rotation frequencies (9) and position of regulation valves (10) the mode maps of the pump efficient operation are constructed Fig. 3).

The dependences thus obtained can be used in the pumping unit regulators and corrected automatically in real time modes. This will enable to obtain maximum energy efficiency (coefficient of efficiency) of the oil pumping station, provided the required technological process parameters, technological limitations and perturbations are ensured.

In accordance with the developed and identified using the results of the full-scale experiment, data of mathematical models (29) and general concept of the energy efficient control (1), it is possible to obtain the generalized functional scheme of the system of automatized energy-saving control by the OPS units (Fig. 4).

This kind of control system contains blocks of pumping units reference models of separate OPS and the block of reference main oil pipeline as a whole, blocks of formation and determination of energy loss functions in the pumping units of the oil pumping system and blocks for minimum function comparison of the energy losses.

The experiments were performed using the laboratory operating unit equipped with facilities for frequency and throttle regulation of productivity.

The working characteristics plotted based on the measurements and calculations for the centrifugal pump 2K-6 (electric motor AO-42-2; T m = 0.84) are shown in Fig. 5.

The decrease in the consumed power at the frequency method of control compared to the throttle method of control is as follows:

AN = Nh - Nfr.

(11)

Annual energy saving during the pumping unit operation for 7000 h per year (average calculation period), is:

EK = AN-7000 = 1000-7000-0,7 = 4900 kWh. (12)

where 0.7 is the mode coefficient. The graphs of difference in the pump characteristics between the frequency and throttle controls are shown in Fig. 6.

The economic efficiency of the frequency control is defined based on the annual graph of the pump load and the system as a whole.

Thus, the yearly-average economy of energy is as follows:

1 r

Eav = - \ANr

tdt.

(13)

Under conditions of the uniform distribution of the load during calculation period in the range of (30-100) % of the power, the energy economy is determined as following:

_ AN30 +AN100T

Eav = -2-T'

(14)

In this particular case, the decrease in the energy losses can be about 5000 kWh. The annual economy at tariff c = 0.05 € / kWh, is 250 €.

Upon the overall electric power of the electric drivers of the Ukraine oil pumping stations being 360 kWh and if that each third pump has a system of the frequency control, the annual economy of energy will be as following

and may exceed 250 kWh.

(15)

That is, in money equivalent the annual economy will be over 12 mln. €.

With the frequency drivers being mounted at the increased number of pumps, the expected

annual profit will be over 15 mln. €.

CONCLUSIONS

The scientific and practical results obtained allow the following inferences:

1. Further development was obtained by the algorithms of the systems of the energy-conserving control by the group of pumping units of oil pumping stations of the main oil pipelines, which ensure minimum energy losses throughout the total range during a normal exploitation.

2. The generalized verified mathematical model of the OPS pumping units was proposed, and the main ratios for the determination of the main energy losses in the elements of the system of control were obtained. The analytical dependences between the major mode parameters of the OPS pumping units operation by the approximation of their experimental characteristics were obtained.

3. The experiments of the modes of pumps' operation were carried out, and on their basis the identification was performed of the developed mathematical models. The extrapolation of the experimental results obtained on the Ukrainian active oil pumping stations under condition that each third pump is equipped with the system of frequency control, showed that the implementa-

tion of the experimental results obtained and developments at the Ukrainian OPS can ensure the annual energy economy during oil transportation of the order of 400 mWh.
