The control circuitry may be configured to, during driving of the electromagnetic load by the waveform signal or a signal derived therefrom, receive a current signal representative of a current associated with the electromagnetic load and a second signal representative of a second quantity associated with the electromagnetic load, the second quantity comprising one of a voltage associated with the electromagnetic load or a back electromotive force of the electromagnetic load. The control circuitry may be further configured to calculate a phase difference between the current signal and the second signal, determine a frequency error of the waveform signal based on the phase difference, and control the driving frequency based on the frequency error.

摘要: An induction heating apparatus is provided. The induction heating apparatus includes a heating coil, an inverter, a current sensor configured to measure a driving current supplied from the inverter to the heating coil, and a controller configured to provide a drive signal to the inverter to allow the driving current to follow a target current based on a user input. The controller reduces a driving duty of the drive signal based on the driving current exceeding a predetermined reference current, and the controller provides a drive signal to the inverter to allow the driving current to follow a current less than the target current, based on the driving current being less than or equal to the predetermined reference current after reducing the driving duty of the drive signal.

摘要: A method of improving natural gas recovery from a subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir includes at least one renewable energy source that is electrically coupled with a heat conducting element. The heat conducting element is positioned in a perforated section of a wellbore that traverses into the subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir. A temperature of the subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir is maintained above a cricondentherm temperature so that liquid condensation may be prevented at a final production time. In order to maintain the temperature within a required temperature range, an internal temperature, an internal pressure, and a set of reservoir properties are monitored and then utilized to plot a phase diagram that can be used to detect liquid condensation. If liquid condensation is detected, an electrical output of the renewable energy source is adjusted in order to control the temperature of the subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir at a producing end of a production tubing.
