Power electronic devices such as Voltage Source Converter (VSC) based Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) etc. can be used to mitigate the voltage problems in the distribution system. The voltage problems dealt with in this paper are to show how to mitigate unbalanced voltage sags and voltage unbalance in the CIGRE Low Voltage (LV) test network and networks like this. The voltage unbalances, for the tested cases in the CIGRE LV test network are mainly due to single phase loads and due to unbalanced faults. The compensation of unbalanced voltage sags and voltage unbalance in the CIGRE distribution network is done by using the four STATCOM compensators already existing in the test grid. The simulations are carried out in DIgSILENT power factory software version 15.0.展开更多

Though we have faced with many difficulties during our exploration, exciting discoveries in petroleum-rich sags have been made in recent years. Studies show that the petroleumrich sags are characterized by multiple sets of oil-gas accumulation in the pre-Eogene to Neogene strata in profile and large-area connection or superimposition of oil-gas reservoirs in different strata. Therefore, petroleum-rich sags continue to be a focus of future oil-gas exploration in the Bohai Bay Basin. There is still a great potential of petroleum resources. Inshore and offshore areas, onshore stratigraphic reservoirs, high-precision exploration in old oilfields, reservoirs inside buried hills, and volcanic reservoirs will contribute a lot in increasing the annual oil-gas production and reserves in the basin.展开更多

Furthermore, the quality of the reservoirs in the two subsags is systematically evaluated. Results show that the throat radius of the Lishui west subsag is larger than that of the east subsag, and this parameter has a positive correlation with reservoir quality. However, the pore-throat ratio of the east subsag is larger than that of the west subsag, which has an inverse relationship with reservoir quality. The main reasons for this reservoir difference can be attributed to sedimentation and diagenesis. The sedimentary facies types of the Lishui east subsag are the fan delta, shore lake, shallow lake, and shore shallow lake;their sandstone composition maturity is low;the clay mineral content is high;and the rock has undergone strong diagenesis. Therefore, the physical conditions of the reservoir are poor. However, the sandstones in the Lishui west subsag have weak cementation and compaction, mainly with an intergranular pore structure type, which leads to good connectivity between pores. Therefore, the storage performance and seepage capacity of the Lishui west subsag are better than those of the east subsag;the west subsag is the main area of oil and gas accumulation, as confirmed in the process of exploration and development.展开更多

We demonstrated that voltage sag types have different effects on synchronous motor, especially on its torque pulsations. Torque pulsations are different in shape of oscillations and moreover, peak torque when voltage magnitude is restored has different correlation with sag duration, as sag type varies. By flux trajectory analysis, we mathematically extracted the critical durations for different types of voltage sags, in the case that the sag begins at the zero angle of the voltage wave. In order to observe the validity of the results, we simulated a synchronous motor subjected to different types of voltage sags. The simulation results confirmed the claim.展开更多

文摘In this study, the differences in reservoir parameters, such as pore radius, throat radius, and pore-throat ratio, between the east and west subsags of the Lishui Sag are analyzed by using data obtained from a constant-rate mercury injection experiment. Furthermore, the quality of the reservoirs in the two subsags is systematically evaluated. Results show that the throat radius of the Lishui west subsag is larger than that of the east subsag, and this parameter has a positive correlation with reservoir quality. However, the pore-throat ratio of the east subsag is larger than that of the west subsag, which has an inverse relationship with reservoir quality. The main reasons for this reservoir difference can be attributed to sedimentation and diagenesis. The sedimentary facies types of the Lishui east subsag are the fan delta, shore lake, shallow lake, and shore shallow lake;their sandstone composition maturity is low;the clay mineral content is high;and the rock has undergone strong diagenesis. Therefore, the physical conditions of the reservoir are poor. However, the sandstones in the Lishui west subsag have weak cementation and compaction, mainly with an intergranular pore structure type, which leads to good connectivity between pores. Therefore, the storage performance and seepage capacity of the Lishui west subsag are better than those of the east subsag;the west subsag is the main area of oil and gas accumulation, as confirmed in the process of exploration and development.

文摘Based on seismic,drilling,and source rock analysis data,the petroleum geological characteristics and future exploration direction of the oil-rich sags in the Central and West African Rift System(CWARS)are discussed.The study shows that the Central African Rift System mainly develops high-quality lacustrine source rocks in the Lower Cretaceous,and the West African Rift System mainly develops high-quality terrigenous organic matter-rich marine source rocks in the Upper Cretaceous,and the two types of source rocks provide a material basis for the enrichment of oil and gas in the CWARS.Multiple sets of reservoir rocks including fractured basement and three sets of regional cap rocks in the Lower Cretaceous,the Upper Cretaceous,and the Paleogene are developed in the CWARS.Since the Late Mesozoic,due to the geodynamic factors including the dextral strike-slip movement of the Central African Shear Zone,the basins in different directions of the CWARS differ in terms of rifting stages,intervals of regional cap rocks,trap types and accumulation models.The NE-SW trending basins have mainly preserved one stage of rifting in the Early Cretaceous,with regional cap rocks developed in the Lower Cretaceous strata,forming traps of reverse anticlines,flower-shaped structures and basement buried hill,and two types of hydrocarbon accumulation models of"source and reservoir in the same formation,and accumulation inside source rocks"and"up-source and down-reservoir,and accumulation below source rocks".The NW–SE basins are characterized by multiple rifting stages superimposition,with the development of regional cap rocks in the Upper Cretaceous and Paleogene,forming traps of draping anticlines,faulted anticlines,antithetic fault blocks and the accumulation model of"down-source and up-reservoir,and accumulation above source rocks".The combination of reservoir and cap rocks inside source rocks of basins with multiple superimposed rifting stages,as well as the lithologic reservoirs and the shale oil inside source rocks of strong inversion basins are important fields for future exploration in basins of the CWARS.

文摘Notable differences in the structural characteristics and evolution of three adjacent sub-sags,i.e.,the Wenchang sub-sags A,B,and C,on the downthrown side of the Zhu IlI South Fault in the Wenchang Sag,are significant as they affect the formation and distribution of the oil and gas in these three sub-sags.However,the differences in their tectonic evolutions and formation mechanisms have not yet been adequately explained.In this paper,stress analysis,equilibrium profiles,and paleogeomorphic restora-tion,are used to investigate the dynamic settings,formation mechanisms,and influencing factors of the structural deformation related to the formation of the Wenchang Sag based on interpretation of seismic data.The results of the stress analysis suggest clockwise deflection of the regional tensile stress direction from a WNW-ESE trend during the Early Paleocene to NW-SE and NNW-SSE trends during the Eocene,to a nearly N-S trend during the Oligocene,and finally to a NNE-SSW trend during the Miocene.This clockwise rotation of the regional tensile stress direction led to the formation of a dextral strike-slip stress component parallel to the NE-trending Zhu I South Fault.This strike-slip stress component formed a releasing bend in sub-sag A,and may be associated with the continuous subsidence of a thick sedimentary layer in sub-sag A.It also created a restraining bend in sub-sag B,which underwent multiple structural inversions during its extension and subsidence and has a relatively s mall sedimentary thick-ness.The double restraining bend in sub-sag C is considered to have been strongly uplifted and eroded in response to this strike-slip stress component.Four obvious structural inversions in sub-sag B are iden-tified in this paper.These structural inversions correspond to the last four regional tectonic movements.This interpretation suggests that the formation of the structural inversions was likely related to the strong tensile stress and the small intersection angle between the direction of the regional tensile stress and the pre-existing boundary fault.The rotation of the tensile stress direction was responsible for the strike-slip movement on the pre-existing boundary fault and the formation of the releasing bend and restraining bend,which controlled the structural evolutions of the sub-sags.This reasonably explains the differential tectonic evolution of these three sub-sags in the Wenchang Sag,and provides a crucial idea forstructuralanalysisof similarbasins.

文摘Virtual synchronous generator(VSG)is gridfriendly for integrating distributed generations(DGs)since it can emulate the operation mechanism of traditional synchronous generator(SG).However,the traditional VSG control strategy,which is mainly suitable for balanced voltage conditions,may lead to power oscillations,current unbalance and even overcurrent under unbalanced voltage sags.To overcome this difficulty,a flexible unbalanced control with peak current limitation for VSG under unbalanced operating conditions is proposed.Based on the basic VSG control algorithm,the control strategy integrates two novel control modules,which are current reference generator(CRG)and power reference generator(PRG).The proposed control strategy can flexibly meet different operation demands,which includes current balancing,constant active or reactive power.And the injected currents are kept within safety values for a better utilization of the VSG power capacity.Furthermore,the experimental platform is built.Experimental results demonstrate the validness and effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

文摘This paper systematically analyzes the reservoir-forming characteristics and cretaceous shale oil types in four major hydrocarbon-generating sags(Qingxi,Ying'er,Huahai,and Shida)of the Jiuquan Basin,based on the data of experiments for microscopic and geochemical analysis of reservoirs.The hydrothermal alteration-induced reservoir-forming model and its reservoir-controlling effect in the Qingxi Sag are discussed,and the exploration potential of shale oil in these four sags are evaluated.(1)The Qingxi Sag is widely developed with mud shale,dolomitic shale,and laminated argillaceous dolomite in the Cretaceous,which can be defined as mixed shale as a whole.The source rocks in this area are of good quality and high maturity,formed in a saline water sedimentary environment,and rich in dolomite,with a strong hydrocarbon generation capacity and excellent oil generation conditions.The reservoir space has been significantly modified by hydrothermal process,with well-developed dissolution pores and microfractures,recording favorable reservoir conditions for shale oil enrichment.Overall,this sag has large reservoir thickness and large resource volume,making it the most realistic shale oil exploration target in the Jiuquan Basin.However,it faces challenges such as great burial depth(deeper than 4500 m)and strong tectonic stress.(2)The Ying'er,Huahai,and Shida sags all feature sand-mud interbeds consisting of fan delta front thin sandbodies and lacustrine mud shale in the Cretaceous,having good source rock quality and favorable conditions for interbedded-type shale oil accumulation.The source rocks are insufficient in thermal evolution degree and unevenly distributed,and favorable shale oil resources are mainly endowed near the center of the sags.Reservoirs are primarily composed of siltstone to fine sandstone,suggesting relatively good reservoir conditions,generally with small burial depth(3000-4000 m)and the possibility of local sweet spots.It is noted that the Ying'er Sag has already produced low-mature to mature oil,qualifying it as a near-term realistic shale oil exploration area.

文摘This study examines a 1.32 m thick sediment sequence from the Cunge sag pond in the Litang Basin,eastern Tibetan Plateau,to assess the seismicity of the Litang fault during the Holocene.High-resolution geochemical,grain size,magnetic susceptibility,and total organic carbon indicators are employed to obtain a continuous record of changes in elemental,physical,and biological properties within the profile to identify seismic events.The seismic event layer generally comprises two sedimentary rhythms:a lower coarse sand layer and an upper fine silt-clay layer.These layers represent rapid deposition associated with fault activity(Earthquake A)and slower deposition during calm periods or earthquake recurrence intervals(Seismic interval A).Through six^(14)C dating,five seismic events have been identified in the Cunge sag pond section:E1(before 3955 a B.P.),E2(3713-3703 a B.P.),E3(3492-3392 a B.P.),E4(2031-1894 a B.P.),and E5(1384-1321 a B.P.).E1-E4 had shown a good consistency with the paleo-earthquake recorded by the trench,and whereas E5 is a newly identified seismic event,further improving the continuous earthquake sequence of the Litang fault.Based on existing trench data and the seismic event record from the Cunge sag pond,a total of 11 paleo-earthquakes are identified along the Litang fault since the Holocene.The paleo-earthquake activity of the Litang fault exhibits a clustered pattern,with recurrence intervals of both long periods(1000 a)and short periods(500 a).Since 5000 a,the interval between strong earthquake recurrences gradually decreases,indicating an increasing risk of strong earthquakes along the Litang fault.This study presents a continuous record of paleo-earthquakes along the Litang fault,eastern Tibetan Plateau,and can enhance the understanding of regional seismic activity.

文摘The concurrent exploration of shale oil wells in the Gulong Sag of the Songliao Basin has uncovered promising hydrocarbon shows in the Fuyu pay zone of the Lower Cretaceous Quantou Formation.To assess the hydrocarbon exploration potential of the Fuyu pay zone,this study systematically analyzes the main controlling factors for hydrocarbon accumulation,including source rock conditions,reservoir characteristics and migration capacity,in the deep area of the Gulong Sag,using seismic,drilling and core data,and reveals the hydrocarbon enrichment mechanism and accumulation model.The results indicate that the source rocks in the first member of Cretaceous Qingshankou Formation(Qing-1 Member)in the Gulong Sag are widely distributed,characterized by high quality,large area,high maturity and high hydrocarbon generation intensity,providing an ample oil source for the Fuyu pay zone.The Fuyu pay zone in the Gulong Sag features multi-phase channel sand bodies and beach-bar sands that are laterally superimposed and vertically stacked,forming large-scale sand-rich reservoir assemblages,which provide the storage space for tight oil enrichment.Influenced by overpressure pore preservation and dissolution-enhanced porosity,the porosity of the Fuyu pay zone can reach up to 13%,meeting the reservoir conditions necessary for large-scale tight oil enrichment.The episodic opening of hydrocarbon-source connected faults during the hydrocarbon expulsion period,combined with source-reservoir pressure differentials,drives the efficient charging and enrichment of hydrocarbons into the underlying tight reservoirs.The hydrocarbon accumulation model of the Fuyu pay zone is summarized as“source-reservoir juxtaposition,overpressure charging,lateral source-reservoir connection+vertical fault-directed bidirectional hydrocarbon supply,continuous sand body distribution,and large-scale enrichment in fault-horst belts”.A new insight for the deep area of the Gulong Sag is proposed as being sand-rich,having superior reservoirs,and being oil-rich.This insight guided the deployment of three risk exploration wells.The Well HT1H achieved a high-yield industrial oil flow rate of 35.27 t/d during testing,discovering light tight oil with low density and low viscosity.Through horizontal well volumetric fracturing treatment,the Well HT1H achieved the first high-yield breakthrough of tight oil in the deep area of the Gulong Sag,confirming the presence of geological conditions for large-scale hydrocarbon accumulation in this area.This expands the potential for hundred-million-ton tight oil resource additions in the Songliao Basin and deepens the theoretical understanding of continental tight oil accumulation.

文摘In the Jimusaer Sag of the Junggar Basin,crude oils from the upper and lower sweet-spot intervals of the Permian Lucaogou Formation display a pronounced“light-heavy reversal”in oil properties that indicates a fundamental mismatch between oil composition and host rock maturity.To resolve this anomaly,this study integrates geological,geochemical,and petrophysical datasets and systematically evaluates the combined roles of thermal evolution,organofacies,wettability,abnormal overpressure,and migration-related fractionation on shale oil composition.On this basis,a“staged charging-cumulative charging”model is proposed to explain compositional heterogeneity in lacustrine shale oils.The results demonstrate that crude-oil compositions are jointly controlled by the extent of biomarker depletion,the temporal evolution of hydrocarbon charging,and the openness of the source-reservoir system,rather than by thermal maturity or organofacies alone.The upper sweet-spot interval is interpreted to have functioned as a semi-open system during early stages,in which hydrocarbon generation and expulsion were broadly synchronous,leading to preferential loss of early-generated,biomarker-rich heavy components,whereas progressive shale diagenesis at later stages promoted the retention of highly mature,light hydrocarbons.In contrast,the lower sweet-spot interval represents a relatively closed system,where hydrocarbons generated during multiple stages continuously accumulated and were preserved as mixed charges;overprinting by multi-phase fluids progressively weakened sterane isomerization signals,rendering them unreliable indicators of individual charging events or final thermal maturity.This charging behavior provides a reasonable explanation for anomalously low or distorted biomarker parameters observed in intervals of low or similar maturity.Overall,the proposed charging model reconciles the observed reversal in crude-oil properties and,by shifting the interpretive focus from static maturity assessment to charging dynamics,offers a new theoretical basis for understanding lacustrine shale oil accumulation processes,and guiding sweet-spot selection and exploration-development strategies.

文摘Traditional source-to-sink analyses cannot effectively characterize deep-time sedimentary processes involving multiple sediment sources and the spatiotemporal evolution of sediment contributions from different sources.In this study,a dynamic,quantitative source-to-sink analysis approach using stratigraphic forward modeling(SFM)is proposed,and it is applied to the Paleogene Enping Formation in the Baiyun Sag,Pearl River Mouth Basin.The built-in spatiotemporal provenance tagging of the model assigns a unique time-source label to sediments from each provenance,making each source's contribution identifiably“labeled”in the simulated formation,and thus enabling a direct precise tracking and high spatiotemporal resolution quantification of such contributions.Five pseudo-wells(from proximal to distal locations)in the Baiyun Sag were analyzed.The simulation results quantitatively represent the varied proportion of contribution of each source at different locations and in different periods and verify the proposed approach's operability and accuracy of the proposed approach.The simulated 3D deposit distribution shows a high agreement with the measured stratigraphic data,validating the model's reliability.Results reveal significant spatiotemporal changes in the Enping sedimentary system.In the late stage of Enping Formation deposition,a distal source supply from the northern part of the sag became dominant,the depocenter migrated northward to the deepwater area,and large-scale deltaic sand bodies extensively progradating into the sag were formed.The modeled 3D deposit distribution indicates that extensive high-quality reservoir sandstones are likely present across the deepwater area of the Baiyun Sag,which are identified as key exploration targets.Compared to traditional static approaches,the SFM-based dynamic simulation markedly enhances the spatiotemporal resolution of source-to-sink analysis and quantitatively captures the sedimentary system's responses to tectonic activity,base-level fluctuations and other external drivers.The proposed approach provides a novel quantitative framework for investigating complex,deep-time,multi-source systems,and offers an effective tool for reservoir prediction and hydrocarbon exploration planning in underexplored deepwater areas.
