Vibration Error

Fiber-optic gyroscopes (FOGs)-based Measurement While Drilling system (MWD) is a newly developed instrument to survey the borehole trajectory continuously and in real time. However, because of the strong vibration while drilling, the measurement accuracy of FOG-based MWD deteriorates. It is urgent to improve the measurement accuracy while drilling. Therefore, this paper proposes an innovative scheme for the vibration error of the FOG-based MWD. Firstly, the nonlinear error models for the FOGs and ACCs are established. Secondly, a 36-order Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) combined with a calibration method based on 24-position is designed to identify the coefficients in the error model. Moreover, in order to obtain a higher accurate error model, an iterative calibration method has been suggested to suppress calibration residuals. Finally, vibration experiments simulating the drilling vibration in the laboratory is implemented. Compared to the original data, compensated the linear error items, the error of 3D borehole trajectory can only be reduced by a ratio from 10% to 34%. While compensating for the nonlinear error items of the FOG-based MWD, the error of 3D borehole trajectory can be reduced by a ratio from 44.13% to 97.22%. In conclusion, compensation of the nonlinear error of FOG-based MWD could improve the trajectory survey accuracy under vibration.

To enhance the perpendicularity accuracy in the robotic drilling system, a normal sensor calibration method is proposed to identify the errors of the zero point and laser beam direction of laser displacement sensors simultaneously. The procedure of normal adjustment of the robotic drilling system is introduced firstly. Next the measurement model of the zero point and laser beam direction on a datum plane is constructed based on the principle of the distance measurement for laser displacement sensors. An extended Kalman filter algorithm is used to identify the sensor errors. Then the surface normal measurement and attitude adjustments are presented to ensure that the axis of the drill bit coincides with the normal at drilling point. Finally, simulations are conducted to study the performance of the proposed calibration method and experiments are carried out on a robotic drilling system. The simulation and experimental results show that the perpendicularity of the hole is within 0.2°. They also demonstrate that the proposed calibration method has high accuracy of parameter identification and lays a basis for high-precision perpendicularity accuracy of drilling in the robotic drilling system.

Adaptive Extended Kalman Filter

An attitude estimation algorithm is developed using an adaptive extended Kalman filter for low-cost microelectromechanical-system (MEMS) triaxial accelerometers and gyroscopes, that is, inertial measurement units (IMUs). Although these MEMS sensors are relatively cheap, they give more inaccurate measurements than conventional high-quality gyroscopes and accelerometers. To be able to use these low-cost MEMS sensors with precision in all situations, a novel attitude estimation algorithm is proposed for fusing triaxial gyroscope and accelerometer measurements. An extended Kalman filter is implemented to estimate attitude in direction cosine matrix (DCM) formation and to calibrate gyroscope biases online. We use a variable measurement covariance for acceleration measurements to ensure robustness against temporary nongravitational accelerations, which usually induce errors when estimating attitude with ordinary algorithms. The proposed algorithm enables accurate gyroscope online calibration by using only a triaxial gyroscope and accelerometer. It outperforms comparable state-of-the-art algorithms in those cases when there are either biases in the gyroscope measurements or large temporary nongravitational accelerations present. A low-cost, temperature-based calibration method is also discussed for initially calibrating gyroscope and acceleration sensors. An open source implementation of the algorithm is also available.

Abstract According to the characteristics of stable single-phase flow, a phase difference measurement method based on the extended Kalman filter is proposed in this paper for use with Coriolis mass flowmeters. Firstly, the Mallat algorithm is applied to filter out interference signals. Then, the frequency and phase difference of the two reconstructed signals are detected through the extended Kalman filter. Compared with the sliding Goertzel algorithm or discrete time Fourier transform, the proposed method does not need to predict the signal frequency and avoids quadratic error. Simulations and experiments show that the proposed method has stronger anti-interference, higher measurement accuracy and lower relative error than the existing method based on the Hilbert transformation.
