Development of ESS virtual presentation in LabVIEW

Abstract

Parameter estimation of the oil field electrical power supply system (ESS) is a key issue at assessing power consumption. One of the solutions to this issue is the development of a software that is capable to calculate the ESS parameters based on the electrical grid topology and the technical data of electrical equipment and present these in a readable form. The scheme topology is based on the virtual scheme representation — the object model. The object model is also used to display the calculation results. The article is devoted to the development of an object model of the oil field power supply system. The model is a part of a software package designed to simulate stationary and quasi-stationary operation modes and calculate the parameters of the power supply system for the further operation analysis. Since, the use of the LabVIEW development environment is most suitable in accordance with the tasks to be performed in the software, the authors suggest to develop the object model in LabVIEW. Such models' development was not considered earlier in this platform. To implement this concept, an object-oriented approach is used. The research results will be useful in development of efficient ESS control techniques in various regimes, and improve energy efficiency of electrical equipment on existing oil fields and new ones.
