Abstract
A distributed control system for a well string includes a first control section configured to be positioned at a first location. The first control section includes a first control module configured to control a first device positioned at the first location, and the first control module includes a first electric actuator configured to control flow of a fluid to the first device based on a first control signal to control the first device. The distributed control system also includes a second control section configured to be positioned at a second location, remote from the first location. The second control section includes a second control module configured to control a second device positioned at the second location, and the second control module includes a second electric actuator configured to control flow of the fluid to the second device based on the second control signal to control the second device.
