Autonomous electrical heating facility supplied by wind turbine for elimination of oil wellbore paraffin deposits
The article considers an autonomous electrical heating facility supplied by a wind turbine designed to eliminate paraffin deposits in an oil wellbore. Computer modeling of the facility is performed. Modeling results are verified with a laboratory simulation bench. Operating curves for various operating conditions are obtained. An optimal resistance of the heating cable is determined to ensure a maximal efficiency of the wind turbine, as well as the amounts of energy produced by the wind turbine with a constant load resistance and resistance control are compared.
The use of a wind-driven power unit for supplying the heating cable assembly of an oil well, complicated by the formation of asphalt-resin-paraffin deposits
In this article authors propose application of the technology for preventing formation of asphalt-resin-paraffin deposits in the oil well of the Fainsk oil field by the thermal treatment with the use of a wind-driven power unit as an autonomous power source. The calculations confirm the efficiency of the electrothermal complex application at the Fainsk oil field.
The National PKI of Peru: a new certification hierarchy
In order to guarantee secure transactions through the Internet and to generate strong evidence that could be used in case of future legal disputes, several countries around the world have promoted and regulated the use of digital signatures based on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). However, despite the high expectations, its implementation has achieved neither the desired results nor its globalization. Many of the reasons were discovered years ago, but they are still open problems for the scientific community nowadays. In order to consider the case of the national PKI of the Peruvian state as empirical evidence for studies that address the open problems, this article describes the details about a new certification hierarchy which is expected to overcome some of its predecessors’ limitations. It is also expected that the information disclosed in this article could be useful to other countries for making a preliminary assessment for possible cross-border recognition of Peruvian digital signatures.
