Abstract
A method for operating a blending system includes obtaining sensor data of a fluid of an outlet stream of the blending system from sensors of a sensing unit. The method also includes obtaining at least one of a fraction parameter, a fracture parameter, or an equipment parameter a hydrogen composition of the fluid. The method also includes performing a real-time and closed-loop control scheme using the sensor data and at least one of the fraction parameter, the fracture parameter, or the equipment parameter to determine one or more control decisions. The method also includes operating one or more controllable pipeline elements to adjust the hydrogen composition of the fluid according to the one or more control decisions.
Claims20
A method of operating a blending system, the method comprising:
- obtaining sensor data of a fluid of an outlet stream of the blending system from sensors of a sensing unit;
- obtaining at least one of a fraction parameter, a fracture parameter, or an equipment parameter for a hydrogen composition in the fluid;
- performing a real-time and closed-loop control scheme using the sensor data and at least one of the fraction parameter, the fracture parameter, or the equipment parameter, to determine one or more control decisions;
- and
- operating one or more controllable pipeline elements to adjust the hydrogen composition of the fluid according to the one or more control decisions.
A controller for a blending system, the controller comprising processing circuitry configured to:
- obtain sensor data of a fluid of an outlet stream of the blending system from sensors of a sensing unit;
- obtain at least one of a fraction parameter, a fracture parameter, or an equipment parameter, for a hydrogen composition in the fluid;
- perform a control scheme using the sensor data and at least one of the fraction parameter, the fracture parameter, or the equipment parameter, to determine one or more control decisions;
- and
- operate one or more controllable pipeline elements to adjust the hydrogen composition of the fluid according to the one or more control decisions.
