Usage of Electric Drives of Units at Group Pump Stations as Regulating Loads of Active and Reactive Energy and Power

Abstract

The paper presents results of the experiments conducted at/on a number of pump units with synchronous electric engines which are used at group pump stations in the process of oil production. Purpose of the experiments is to determine actual possibilities of group pump station units while using them as regulating loads of active and reactive energy. The experimental results have made it possible to construct power and economic characteristics. Taking into account these characteristics a method of load distribution for each unit at specified total load is proposed in the paper.
