    Stick-Slip Vibration Mitigation in Rotary Drilling Systems Using a Particle Swarm Optimization-based PID Controller under Varying Weight on Bit Conditions
    (Budapest Tech Polytechnical Institution, 2025) Tellaa, Mawloud; Aibeche, Abderrezak; Doghmane, Zinelabidine Mohamed; Kidouche, Madjid
    Rotary systems on drilling rigs are susceptible to various types of vibrations, which can lead to equipment damage, reduced borehole quality, decreased drilling efficiency, and increased non-productive time. These vibrations are typically managed through manual adjustments of drilling parameters, often resulting in higher costs and reduced productivity. To address this challenge, automatic control strategies have been developed, though the robustness of these controllers is still under refinement. Recently, a promising approach has emerged by combining PID controllers with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms, demonstrating significant success in other applications. However, its effectiveness in mitigating stick-slip vibrations, particularly under varying Weight on Bit (WOB) conditions, in rotary systems on drilling rigs has not been fully tested. This paper examines the application of a PSO-optimized PID controller to enhance the robustness of vibration mitigation strategies in rotary drilling systems, taking into account the effect of WOB. The results demonstrate that the proposed controller outperforms previously developed control approaches, offering superior vibration suppression even under varying WOB conditions

    PID Control Design of Strongly Coupled Axial-Torsional Vibrations in Rotary Drilling Systems
    (Wydawnictwo SIGMA-NOT, 2024) Meddah, Sabrina; Idir, Abdelhakim; Tadjer, Sid Ahmed; Doghmane, Mohamed Zinelabidine; Kidouche, Madjid
    Drilling operations can encounter considerable challenges posed by strong, coupled vibrations that exert a complex influence on rotary drilling system performance. These vibrations are classified into three distinct types based on their propagation direction: axial, lateral, and torsional. Previous research efforts have predominantly focused on examining each vibration type in isolation. However, the effectiveness and resilience of developed controllers are profoundly affected by the often overlooked coupling effects arising from other types of vibrations. In this study, we propose the implementation of a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller for the coupled Axial-Torsional vibration system. The research presented herein is dedicated to investigate the performance of the controller under strongly coupled vibrations. To address the dynamic vibrations encountered during drilling, it is imperative to understand the intricate behavior of the drill bit in response to these vibrations before designing controllers to mitigate their impact. Numerous models have been proposed in the existing literature to elucidate the behavior of the drill string under axial-torsional vibrations. The objective of this research is to develop a comprehensive model of the drilling system and investigate the robustness of the PID controller to mitigate the adverse effects of coupled Axial-Torsional vibrations. By effectively analysing the obtained results, this study has contributed to the optimization and improvement of drilling operations under sever coupled vibrations.

    Discretization Order Influences on Extended Kalman Filter Estimation for Doubly-Fed Induction Generator
    (Wydawnictwo SIGMA-NOT, 2024) Boussoufa, Ahmad; Ahriche, Aimad; Kidouche, Madjid; Doghmane, Mohammed Zinelabidine
    The main objective of this paper is to analyze the influence of the discretization step on the estimated states of the Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG). Although the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) has been widely used for such systems, the discretization process is conventionally ensured by the first-order Forward Euler method. Therefore, the effects of the discretization order of the discrete state-space representation on the Extended Kalman Filter estimation have not been studied before. In this paper, we combine the Extended Kalman Filter with two second-order discretization methods: Central Difference and Adams-Bashforth methods, to estimate the states of a Doubly-Fed Induction Generator and improve the estimation precision of the rotor speed and the Flux of the generator. A comparative study has been conducted to analyze the qualitative and quantitative responses of the estimator for different cases. The obtained results have demonstrated the significance of the discretization order on the estimation process of the two states of the DFIG.

    Stability and accuracy improvement of motor current estimator in low-speed operating based on sliding mode takagi-sugeno algorithm
    (Publishing House of the Romanian Academy, 2022) Ahriche, Aimad; Abdelhakim, Idir; Doghmane, Mohamed Zinlabidine; Kidouche, Madjid; Mekhilef, Saad
    This paper is devoted to presenting a new mathematical development and hardware implementation of an accurate and stable technique for the current estimation-based sliding mode observer in high-performance speed-sensorless ac-drive. The proposed algorithm is built by using induction motor (IM) flux equations in two referential frames to enhance the robustness of the observer. Indeed, all equations are given in both stator-flux and rotor-flux rotating frames. On the other hand, to eliminate the necessity of rotor-speed adaptation, a fully speed-sensorless scheme is adopted. Furthermore, to minimize chattering and improve accuracy, a new fuzzy sliding surface is introduced instead of the conventional correction vector. The observer stability is guaranteed by means of Lyapunov’s second method. The feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm are verified by using a hardware setup based on the DS1104 controller board. Experimental results are shown and discussed

    Stick-Slip vibration suppression in drill string using observer-based LQG controller
    (MDPI, 2022) Riane, Rami; Doghmane, Mohamed Zinelabidine; Kidouche, Madjid; Tee, Kong Fah; Djezzar, Sofiane
    Hydrocarbon exploration and production activities are guaranteed through various operations including the drilling process, which is realized by using rotary drilling systems. The process involves crushing the rock by rotating the drill bit along a drill string to create a borehole. However, during this operation, violent vibrations can occur at the level of the drill string due to its random interaction with the rocks. According to their axes of occurrence, there are three types of vibrations: axial, lateral, and torsional, where the relentless status of the torsional vibrations is terminologically known as the stick-slip phenomenon. Such a phenomenon can lead to increased fatigue of the drill string and cause its abortive fracture, in addition to reducing the efficiency of the drilling process and consequently making the exploration and production operations relatively expensive. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to eliminate the severe stick-slip vibrations that appear along the drill string of the rotary drilling system according to the LQG observer-based controller approach. The rock–bit interaction term is highly nonlinear, and the bit rotational velocity is unmeasurable; an observer was first designed to estimate the unknown inputs of the model, and then the controller was implemented in the drill string model with 10 degrees of freedom. The estimation process was essentially based on surface measurements, namely, the current and rotational velocity of the top drive. Thereafter, the performance of the proposed observer-based LQG controller was tested for different simulation scenarios in a SimScape/Matlab environment, for which the controller demonstrated good robustness in suppressing the severe stick-slip vibrations. Furthermore, the simulation and experimental results were compared to other controllers designed for the same model; the proposed observer-based LQG controller showed better performance, and it was less sensitive to structured disturbances than H∞. Thence, it is highly recommended to use the proposed approach in smart rotary drilling systems

    Rock–bit interaction effects on high-frequency stick-slip vibration severity in rotary drilling systems
    (Emerald, 2021) Mendil, Chafiaa; Kidouche, Madjid; Doghmane, Mohamed Zinelabidine; Benammar, Samir; Tee, Kong Fah
    Purpose: The drill string vibrations can create harmful effects on drilling performance because they generate the stick-slip phenomenon which reduces the quality of drilling and decreases the penetration rate and may affect the robustness of the designed controller. For this reason, it is necessary to carefully test the different rock-bit contact models and analyze their influences on system stability in order to mitigate the vibrations. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of rock-bit interaction on high-frequency stick-slip vibration severity in rotary drilling systems. Design/methodology/approach: The main objective of this study is an overview of the influence of the rock-bit interaction models on the bit dynamics. A total of three models have been considered, and the drilling parameters have been varied in order to study the reliability of the models. Moreover, a comparison between these models has allowed the determination of the most reliable function for stick-slip phenomenon. Findings: The torsional model with three degrees of freedom has been considered in order to highlight the effectiveness of the comparative study. Based on the obtained results, it has been concluded that the rock-bit interaction model has big influences on the response of the rotary drilling system. Therefore, it is recommended to consider the results of this study in order to design and implement a robust control system to mitigate harmful vibrations; the practical implementation of this model can be advantageous in designing a smart rotary drilling system. Originality/value: Many rock-bit functions have been proposed in the literature, but no study has been dedicated to compare them; this is the main contribution of this study. Moreover, a case study of harmonic torsional vibrations analysis has been carried out in well-A, which is located in an Algerian hydrocarbons field, the indices of vibrations detection are given with their preventions

    Hybrid sliding PID controller for torsional vibrations mitigation in rotary drilling systems
    (Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science, 2021) Mendil, Chafiaa; Kidouche, Madjid; Doghmane, Mohamed Zinelabidine
    During the drilling process, the drilling system devices can be exposed to several types of phenomena incited by lateral, axial, and torsional vibrations. The latter can lead to severe damages if they are not efficiently controlled and quickly mitigated. This research work is focused on the torsional vibrations, which are stimulated by the nonlinear dynamical interaction between the geological rocks and the drill bit. Wherein, a model with three degrees of freedom was designed to demonstrate the severity of the stick-slip phenomenon as consequence of torsional vibrations. The main objective of this study was to design a robust controller based on hybridizing a conventional PID controller with sliding mode approach in order to mitigate rapidly the torsional vibrations. Moreover, a comparative study between PI, PID and sliding mode controllers allowed us to emphasize the effectiveness of the new hybrid controller and improve the drilling system performances. Furthermore, the chattering phenomenon in the sliding surface was overcome by using the saturation function rather than the sign function. The obtained results proved the usefulness of the proposed controller in suppressing the stick-slip phenomenon for smart industrial drilling systems

    Speed control of DC motor using PID and FOPID controllers based on differential evolution and PSO
    (INASS, 2018) Idir, Abdelhakim; Kidouche, Madjid; Bensafia, Yassine
    DC motors are widely used in industrial application for its different advantage such us high efficiency, low costs and flexibilities. For controlling the speed of DC motor, conventional controller PI and PID were the most widely used controllers. But due to empirically selected parameters 𝐾𝑝,𝐾𝑖,𝐾𝑑 and limitation of convention PID controller to achieve ideal control effect for higher order systems, a Fractional order Proportional-Integral-Derivative PID (FOPID) based on optimization techniques was proposed in this paper. The aim of this paper is to study the tuning of a FOPID controller using intelligent soft computing techniques such as Differential Evolution (DE) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for designing fractional order PID controller. The parameters of FOPID controller are determined by minimizing the Integral Time Absolute Error (ITAE) between the output of reference model and the plant. The performance of DE and PSO were compared with several simulation experiments. The simulation results show that the DE-based FOPID controller tuning approach provides improved performance for the setpoint tracking, error minimization, and measurement noise attenuation

    A constructive globally convergent adaptive speed observer for port-hamiltonian mechanical systems with non-holonomic constraints
    (Wiley Online Library, 2018) Touati Brahim, Ammar; Kidouche, Madjid
    This paper presents an adaptive speed observer for general port-Hamiltonian mechanical systems with non-holonomic constraints in the presence of unknown friction forces and constant disturbances. Unlike the observers recently reported in the literature, which have been designed either under the assumptions of no friction and the absence of disturbances or for a specific class of mechanical systems with the requirement of an explicit solution of certain Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) that cannot be derived a priori, this observer proposes a design that obviates the solution of PDEs and ensures global convergence for general mechanical systems with k-non-holonomic constraints. The observer is totally constructive and given by explicit expressions. The simulation results testify to the effectiveness and the robust features of the developed observer
