• Application of intelligent algorithms for recognition of patterns of dynamometric charts [+]
Improvement of performance in the automatic recognition of patterns of dynamometric charts in sucker rod pumping systems is still desired by engineers and technicians working in this field. Even though it is not a new subject, there is no commercial solution yet that satisfies the expectations. This project addresses the proposition of new methodologies for recognition of operation conditions based on dynamometric charts.
