Power Management at a Wellsite - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240266868 titled 'Power Management at a Wellsite

The abstract describes systems and methods for managing power at a wellsite, involving well construction equipment, power equipment, a power manager, power equipment sensors, and a human-machine interface.

  • The system allows for the monitoring of power equipment sensor data to determine the operational status of the power equipment.
  • A human user can input power management settings through the human-machine interface.
  • The power manager receives the sensor data and management settings, adjusting its mode of operation accordingly.
  • Different power management settings correspond to various modes of operation for the power manager.
  • The power manager controls the supply of electrical power to the well construction equipment based on the selected mode of operation.

Original Abstract Submitted

systems and methods for managing power at a wellsite. a system includes well construction equipment, power equipment, a power manager, power equipment sensors operable to output power equipment sensor data indicative of operational status of the power equipment, and a human-machine interface usable by a human user to enter power management settings. the power manager is operable to receive the power equipment sensor data and receive the power management settings, wherein each power management setting is associated with a corresponding mode of operation of the power manager. the power manager is further operable to, for each power management setting, change the mode of operation of the power manager to the mode of operation associated with that power management setting, and for each mode of operation, cause the power equipment to supply electrical power to the well construction equipment in a predetermined manner with respect to that mode of operation.
