Abstract
A method of controlling pressure in a mud pump system includes generating a pressure limiting factor output using a pressure feedback input and a motor speed input to calculate a fluid conductance estimate, maintaining the pressure limiting factor output at a maximum value based on a pressure set-point, continuously updating a normal fluid conductance value based on the fluid conductance estimate while the pressure limiting factor output remains at the maximum value, freezing the normal fluid conductance value, if the pressure limiting factor output is less than the maximum value, calculating a change in fluid conductance based on the normal fluid conductance value and the fluid conductance estimate, generating at least one adaptive gain based on the change in fluid conductance, and controlling a motor speed of a pump in the mud pump system based on the at least one adaptive gain.
