Abstract
An apparatus for processing fracking fluid includes a platform; an enclosure disposed on the platform; a rectifier disposed inside the enclosure; a DC bus electrically coupled to the rectifier and disposed inside the enclosure; a DC distribution electrically coupled to the DC bus and disposed inside the enclosure; and inverters electrically coupled to the DC distribution and disposed on the platform and outside of the enclosure; motors electrically coupled to the inverters and disposed on the platform; and loads mechanically coupled to the motors and disposed on the platform.
Claims20
An apparatus for processing fracking fluid, comprising:
- a platform;
- an enclosure disposed on the platform;
- a rectifier disposed inside the enclosure;
- a DC bus electrically coupled to the rectifier and disposed inside the enclosure;
- a DC distribution electrically coupled to the DC bus and disposed on the platform;
- and
- inverters electrically coupled to the DC distribution and disposed on the platform and outside of the enclosure;
- motors electrically coupled to the inverters and disposed on the platform;
- and
- loads mechanically coupled to the motors and disposed on the platform.
A method for balancing a platform for processing fracking fluid, comprising:
- placing an enclosure at an end of a platform;
- placing a rectifier, a DC bus, and a DC distribution inside the enclosure, wherein the DC bus is electrically coupled to the rectifier and to the DC distribution;
- and
- placing inverters, motors, and loads on the platform outside of the enclosure, wherein the inverters are spaced apart from the end to balance an overall load on the platform, wherein the inverters are electrically coupled to the DC distribution and to the motors, and wherein the motors are mechanically coupled to the loads.
