Abstract
A system for completing a well, including a generator, and a plurality of electric load components, each electric load component powered by the generator. The system further includes a load shedding control panel that monitors the generator and, if the generator loses functionality, is capable of deactivating one or more of the plurality of electric load components to reduce the electric load.
Claims20
A system for completing a well, the system comprising:
- a generator;
- a plurality of electric load components, each electric load component powered by the generator;
- and
- a load shedding control panel that monitors the generator and, if the generator loses functionality, is capable of deactivating one or more of the plurality of electric load components to reduce the electric load.
1 more element
A system for completing a well, the system comprising:
- a generator;
- a plurality of hydraulic fracturing equipment components, each of the plurality of hydraulic fracturing equipment components powered by the generator;
- an electric drilling rig, the electric drilling rig powered by the generator;
- and
- a load shedding control panel that monitors the generator and, if the generator loses functionality, is capable of deactivating one or more of the plurality of hydraulic fracturing equipment components or the electric drilling rig to reduce the electric load.
2 more elements
A method of completing a well, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) powering a plurality of hydraulic fracturing equipment components with a generator;
- b) monitoring the generator to determine when the generator loses functionality;
- c) when the generator loses functionality, selectively deactivating one or more of the plurality of hydraulic fracturing equipment components to decrease the load.
