The rotary valve speed control, seriously affected by the nonlinear characteristic of rotary valve load torque, affects the generation of drilling fluid pressure phase shift keying (PSK) signal and its quality. The calculation model feedforward of the load torque acts on the speed control system and enables the motor voltage to change according to the law of calculation model, and the linearization correction of the speed system is performed. Additionally, the flow measurement is introduced into the calculation model of the load torque to track the load torque change with the flow, suppressing the influence of large changes in flow rate on open-loop control of rotary valve speed. The closed-loop proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control is formed by negative feedback of speed, and the PID parameter value rule is established based on the rapid decay control of transient component in the rotary valve speed step response, which speeds up the tracking of the rotary valve speed following the control voltage pulse and reduces the distortion of the drilling fluid pressure PSK signal, increasing the frequency of the drilling fluid pressure carrier and improving the transmission rate of downhole information. Simulink simulation indicates that the closed-loop PID control of rotary valve speed can track the change of control voltage pulse quickly and strongly suppress the interference influences from flow measurement error and load torque calculation model deviation.
