Estimation of energy efficiency potential of electric drive pumping units in steady operating modes

Abstract

According to the results of studies of steady operation modes of electric pumping units of Ukrainian oil pumping stations, have been identified the main reasons of efficiency decrease of their performance during operation. It is determined that the normative documents regulating the efficient operation of pumping units of the main oil pipelines of Ukraine need to be improved. The assessment of energy efficiency potential of the main pumping unit on the example of pump НМ-3600-230 with synchronous electric drive СТД-2500-2 is carried out and the main ways to increase the efficiency of electricity use at oil pumping stations of main oil pipelines are analyzed. A complex mathematical-graphic model of a centrifugal pump and a synchronous electric motor is used to determine the parameters of the process of energy consumption and energy use of hydraulic and electrical subsystems of the pump unit, which allowed to take into account possible changes in equipment characteristics and modes of operation. The value of the relative specific consumption of electricity for pumping of working fluid for regulated and unregulated electric drive based on a complex electro-hydraulic model of the main pump was calculated, which allowed to promptly recalculate the characteristics of the centrifugal pump and electric motor taking into account their technical condition and to determine the potential of the pumping unit. It is determined that an effective way to reduce energy consumption by main pumping units is applying of a controlled electric drive at oil pumping stations, but the feasibility of such a measure requires additional technical and economical calculations. It is determined that to increase the efficiency of pumping units is necessary to avoid low flow-duty modes, to form maps of main oil pipelines in a way to ensure optimal in terms of energy efficiency operation modes of electro-hydraulic equipment of oil pumping stations and to change operation mode of pump and motor in terms of their technical condition.

“…The place ('it is here') accentuated in this way simultaneously turned into a gesture of good will, an invitation to establish connections between society and art" (Melʹnyk, 2003). Among the ideological tasks set by the artist in this space were the cultural resistance of the capital, which attracted creative personalities; the study of new provincial regions, especially in the east, "providing opportunities for self-realization to those people who want to prove themselves something radical, to reveal themselves as 'others'" (Yaremak, 1998). The gallery is known, among other things, for its representation of postmodern expositions like "Impreza-97": the photo project of I. Chichkan, "Sleeping Princes of Ukraine" (Kyiv); the installations of Yu.…”
