Abstract
An independent power system provides electrical power to an electric submersible pumping system positioned in a well that produces petroleum products. The independent power system includes a generator and an engine connected to the generator. The engine is preferably provided with combustible gases from the petroleum products of the well. The independent power system further includes an integrated control system that is connected to the electric submersible pumping system and the generator. The independent power system is configured to balance the loads created by the electric submersible pumping system with the output from the electrical generator.
Claims22
An independent power system configured to provide electrical power to an electric submersible pumping system positioned in a well that produces petroleum products, the independent power system comprising:
- a generator;
- a driver connected to the generator, wherein the driver is provided with combustible gases from the petroleum products of the well;
- and
- an integrated control system that is connected to the electric submersible pumping system and the generator.
A process for providing electrical power from a generator to one or more electrical loads that are not connected to an established power grid, the process comprising the steps of:
- generating electrical power with a generator;
- monitoring the demand of the electrical loads;
- and
- adjusting the output of an electrical generator with the integrated control system to accommodate the demand of the electrical loads.
An independent power system comprising:
- a generator that produces an electrical power output;
- a driver connected to the generator;
- an electrical load that places an electrical demand on the generator;
- and
- an integrated control system connected to the electrical load and the generator;
- wherein the integrated control system is configured to automatically balance the output from the generator with the demand of the electrical load.
