Claims16
A method, comprising:
- starting a plurality of internal combustion engines of a plurality of frac pumps by controlling a supply of electric power to a plurality of electric starters for the plurality of internal combustion engines by supplying the electric power to one or more electric starters of the plurality of electric starters at a desired time via a common electric power source in electric communication with each of the plurality of electric starters.
A system for a plurality of frac pumps, including:
- an electric power supply;
- and
- an electric power delivery system;
- wherein each frac pump of the plurality of frac pumps includes an internal combustion engine and an electric starter for the internal combustion engine;
- wherein the electric power supply is in electric communication with each electric starter of each frac pump via the electric power delivery system;
- and
- wherein the electric power delivery system is operationally configured to control delivery of electric power from the electric power supply to each electric starter of each frac pump in a manner effective to start at least one internal combustion engine of at least one frac pump of the plurality of frac pumps at a desired time.
