Enhancing SCR Switching Performance of Gas Drilling Rigs in Humid Climates Using Sensor and Relay-Based Control Circuitry with Failure Prevention and Warning Feedback Methodology

Abstract

Bangladesh’s economic ascent, marked by robust GDP growth fueled by investments across diverse industries, hinges significantly on the deployment of modern automatic process control technologies. Among these technologies, silicon-controlled rectifiers SCRs play a pivotal role, particularly in critical sectors such as petroleum, chemicals, and manufacturing. However, the nation’s tropical climate, with its soaring humidity levels, presents a formidable challenge to the reliability of SCRs. This research endeavors to unravel the intricate interplay between humidity and SCRs performance within Bangladesh’s industrial landscape. The primary objectives encompass the prevention of SCR failure, enhancement of circuitry performance, and development of a humidity variation warning system. Strategies will be explored to mitigate humidity-induced issues and improve overall SCR reliability based on real-time data collected from the oil drilling plants. Additionally, innovative approaches will be devised to bolster circuitry performance, addressing the unique challenges posed by humid environments. Furthermore, a sophisticated warning system will be engineered to detect fluctuations in humidity levels, enabling proactive intervention to avert SCR failures. By addressing these challenges head-on, this research seeks to fortify Bangladesh’s industrial ecosystem against the vagaries of humidity, fostering resilience, sustainability, and productivity in the face of dynamic environmental conditions in power supply system.
