About this document
Bypass Flow Control for PIG Velocity by victorc.galvao is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document proposes a nonlinear control method to control the speed of a pipeline inspection gauge (PIG) using bypass flow in a natural gas pipeline. The dynamics of the gas flow, PIG movement, and bypass flow are modeled. A nonlinear controller is derived using backstepping control to regulate the PIG velocity by controlling the bypass flow based on measurements of PIG position, velocity, and bypass flow velocity. Simulations are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller in m
