Abstract
A method for controlling the tool face angle of a rotary steerable system inside a well. The tool face angle is mainly controlled through the determination of the duty cycle of an AC Machine, producing its torque. The controlling duty cycle of the AC Machine is determined through the summing of a duty cycle set point with one or more duty cycle corrective values, using a Pulse Width Modulation technique. The duty cycle corrective values use different cut-off frequencies and update frequencies to accommodate the non-linearity and asymmetry of the system response. The method can also be used for controlling the angular rate of the rotary steerable system.
