All-Electric Subsea Control Systems and the Effects on Subsea Manifold Valves

Subsea development is moving constantly toward simplification,digitalization,and cost-out strategies because the exploration and production of hydrocarbons are moving toward deeper and remote sea water areas.Usage of all-electric subsea technology instead of hydraulic technology is growing and will be the future of subsea systems due to the former’s environmental and functional advantages and reduced costs.The benefits of all-electric subsea systems are health,safety,and environment(HSE)and improved reliability,flexibility,and functionality compared with traditional hydraulic-electrical systems.Existing electrohydraulic technology for a typical subsea system,hydraulic and electric actuators,and subsea manifold valves including valve types and selection philosophy have been reviewed in this paper.Some major worldwide oil companies such as Equinor and Schlumberger have successful experiences with subsea electric actuators.Considering the benefits of all-electric technology especially in terms of cost and HSE,as well as successful experiences of two major oil companies,further research in this area is warranted.One of the gaps in existing reviewed literature is the effect of using all-electric actuators for manifold valves.Thus,three main questions related to electric actuator selection,requirement of safety integrity level(SIL),and effect of using electric actuators on manifold valve selection have been addressed and answered.Forty hydraulic actuated manifold valves from nine past subsea projects in different parts of the world,mainly Africa and Australia,have been selected for the analysis of all-electric actuators.Results show that 93%of the valves require spring-return electric actuators,whereas 7%can be operated with conventional electric actuators without any spring.The manifold valves do not require SIL certification because they are not connected to an emergency shut down system.Introducing the electric actuators to the manifold valve will not change the valve selection philosophy.

Valves replacement operation in treatment of electrical storm induced by rheumatic valves disease

Objective： To present a case of electrical storm （ES） in a female patient with rheumatic valve disease. Methods： A female patient with severe rheumatic valve disease suffered an unexpected ES. She received more than 50 electrical shocks for repeated cardiac arrests due to ES over 16 hours. Then she received beta-blocking agent treatment and had an operation of double valves replacement. Results： ES was suppressed by sympathetic blockade with beta-receptor blocker and finally disappeared after the double pathological valves had been replaced. Conclusion： Increased sympathetic activity plays an important role in the genesis of electrical storm and sympathetic blockade may effectively suppress ES. However, the most important thing in the treatment of ES is to identify and eliminate the underlying cause of ES.

Safety and effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation in cardiac surgery:A systematic review

BACKGROUND Lack of mobilization and prolonged stay in the intensive care unit(ICU)are major factors resulting in the development of ICU-acquired muscle weakness(ICUAW).ICUAW is a type of skeletal muscle dysfunction and a common complication of patients after cardiac surgery,and may be a risk factor for prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation,associated with a higher risk of readmission and higher mortality.Early mobilization in the ICU after cardiac surgery has been found to be low with a significant trend to increase over ICU stay and is also associated with a reduced duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU length of stay.Neuromuscular electrical stimulation(NMES)is an alternative modality of exercise in patients with muscle weakness.A major advantage of NMES is that it can be applied even in sedated patients in the ICU,a fact that might enhance early mobilization in these patients.AIM To evaluate safety,feasibility and effectiveness of NMES on functional capacity and muscle strength in patients before and after cardiac surgery.METHODS We performed a search on Pubmed,Physiotherapy Evidence Database(PEDro),Embase and CINAHL databases,selecting papers published between December 2012 and April 2023 and identified published randomized controlled trials(RCTs)that included implementation of NMES in patients before after cardiac surgery.RCTs were assessed for methodological rigor and risk of bias via the PEDro.The primary outcomes were safety and functional capacity and the secondary outcomes were muscle strength and function.RESULTS Ten studies were included in our systematic review,resulting in 703 participants.Almost half of them performed NMES and the other half were included in the control group,treated with usual care.Nine studies investigated patients after cardiac surgery and 1 study before cardiac surgery.Functional capacity was assessed in 8 studies via 6MWT or other indices,and improved only in 1 study before and in 1 after cardiac surgery.Nine studies explored the effects of NMES on muscle strength and function and,most of them,found increase of muscle strength and improvement in muscle function after NMES.NMES was safe in all studies without any significant complication.CONCLUSION NMES is safe,feasible and has beneficial effects on muscle strength and function in patients after cardiac surgery,but has no significant effect on functional capacity.

Flow control characteristics of the digital and mechanical redundancy control electric modulation valve

The electrical modulation valve can provide proportional output valve element displacement,flow,or pressure according to a continuously changing input electrical signal.It is the core component of electro-hydraulic proportional control technology.To remove the influence of pressure difference changes on the output flow,the traditional scheme is to use a pressure compensation valve,which increases the difficulty of both manufacturing and maintaining the valve.To solve this problem,a method of digital and mechanical redundancy control flow is proposed.Pressure sensors are installed at the inlet and outlet of the valve,and the controller adjusts the displacement of the valve element according to the pressure difference between the valve ports to realize high-precision control of the flow.A pressure compensation valve is installed in front of the valve,and a three-way solenoid valve is used to control the working of the compensation valve.In the case of sensor failure,the valve is switched to the mechanical compensation differential pressure mode,to control the flow and to achieve redundancy control.The system security is thereby improved.The feasibility of this scheme is verified through simulation and tests.The results show that,both for digital compensation and mechanical compensation,the output flow can be kept constant when the pressure difference changes,and the system has good static and dynamic characteristics.The principle can be applied to the displacement-flow feedback type electrical modulation valve,and can realize accurate control of the flow of the pilot valve and,finally,accurate control of the flow in the main valve.

高压直流换流阀饱和电抗器在工作过程中发热量大、电场分布不均匀,使其成为阀厅的安全隐患。为改善饱和电抗器的温升效应,文中以实际±500 kV直流换流阀用饱和电抗器为研究对象,建立了改进的流体场与温度场耦合模型,该仿真模型综合考虑流体传热、空气对流散热、绕组焦耳热和铁心涡流热损耗等实际因素,仿真计算电抗器各部件的温度场分布及其影响因素。现场验证表明该模型计算结果更接近实际工作状况。还建立静电场仿真模型,仿真计算电场畸变情况。温度场结果表明:饱和电抗器的铁心温度最高、环氧树脂次之、冷却水管路温度最低;铁心最高温度可达342 K。提高冷却水入口流速是降低饱和电抗器温度的有效方法,阀塔冷却系统的入水流速设置为1 m/s时可达最佳的冷却效果。环氧树脂、铁心和冷却水管的最高温度均与冷却水入口温度呈线性递增关系,实际工作中应使冷却水的初始温度越低越好。电场结果表明:环氧树脂与铁心交界面处出现明显的电场畸变现象,最大电场强度可达1.26×105 V/m。应在此处采取均压措施以防止电场集中而导致的局部温度过高。文中所得结论可为直流换流阀用饱和电抗器的设计提供参考。
