Hybrid drive system associated with well cementing system

A well cementing system comprising:

• a pump;
• and
• a hybrid drive system operatively coupled with the pump, the hybrid drive system including:
• an electric drive system that generates a first energy supply, wherein the electric drive system includes one or more electric motors;
• a torque generating system that generates a second energy supply, wherein the torque generating system includes one or more torque generating devices, and wherein the electric drive system and the torque generating system are disposed in a parallel arrangement;
• and
• a controller communicably coupled with each of the electric drive system and the torque generating system, wherein the controller is configured to:
• determine at least an energy demand of the well cementing system;
• and
• control the electric drive system and the torque generating system to output at least one of the first energy supply via the electric drive system and the second energy supply via the torque generating system, based on the energy demand of the well cementing system, wherein the pump is adapted to receive at least one of the first energy supply and the second energy supply.

A method of controlling a well cementing operation, the method comprising:

• providing an electric drive system of a hybrid drive system that generates a first energy supply, wherein the electric drive system includes one or more electric motors;
• providing a torque generating system of the hybrid drive system that generates a second energy supply, wherein the torque generating system includes one or more torque generating devices, and wherein the electric drive system and the torque generating system are disposed in a parallel arrangement;
• and
• determining, by a controller, at least an energy demand of the well cementing operation, wherein the controller is communicably coupled with the electric drive system and the torque generating system;
• controlling, by the controller, the electric drive system and the torque generating system to output at least one of the first energy supply via the electric drive system and the second energy supply via the torque generating system, based on the energy demand of the well cementing operation;
• and
• receiving, by a pump operatively coupled with the electric drive system and the torque generating system, at least one of the first energy supply and the second energy supply to perform the well cementing operation.
