Development of an algorithm for determining the optimal start time of oil wells to reduce the peak load

Abstract

Abstract The subject of this work is the development of an algorithm for determining the start time of wells in the automatic re-activation mode to save power during peak hours. This measure is relevant for the consumer and for the energy-supplying organizations, because the redistribution of load on peak hours or night zones will provide the most economically balanced operation of the enterprise, and will allow the most efficient use of sources of electrical energy supply organization. The algorithm development will provide operational control and management of the operating mode of the considered equipment in automatic mode. Besides, this will reduce the influence of the human factor on the operation of these consumers and minimize deviations in the hourly planning of electricity consumption, as well as reduce the cost of paying for consumed power. The short-term prospect of implementing this development will ensure optimal power consumption of the periodic well stock during peak load hours, and, consequently, will provide savings in the material resources of the enterprise.
