Problems solved by technology

However, typically several hydraulic pumps are required at a single fracking site to prepare the well for the later extraction of the fluid, such as hydrocarbons, from the existing well.
Typically, the diesel engines limit the horsepower (HP) that the hydraulic pumps may operate thereby requiring an increased quantity of hydraulic pumps to attain the required HP necessary prepare the well for the later extraction of fluid, such as hydrocarbons, from the existing well.
The numerous diesel engines, transmissions, and hydraulic pumps required at a fracking site significantly drives up the cost of the fracking operation.
Each of the numerous trailers required to transport and position configurations require CDL drivers to operate as well as increased manpower to rig the increased assets positioned at the fracking site and may be classified as loads in need of permits, thus adding expense and possible delays.
The amount of diesel fuel required to power the numerous diesel engines to drive the numerous hydraulic pumps required to prepare the well for the later extraction of the fluid, such as hydrocarbons, from the existing well also significantly drives up the cost of the fracking operation.
Further, the parasitic losses typically occur as the diesel engines drive the hydraulic pumps as well as drive the auxiliary systems.
Such parasitic losses actually decrease the amount of HP that is available for the hydraulic pumps operate thereby significantly decreasing the productivity of hydraulic pumps.
In doing so, the duration of the fracking operation is extended resulting in significant increases in the cost of the fracking operation.
The diesel engines also significantly increase the noise levels of the fracking operation and may have difficulty operating within required air quality limits.

Abstract

An electric driven hydraulic fracking system is disclosed. A pump configuration that includes the single VFD, the single shaft electric motor, and the single hydraulic pump that is mounted on the single pump trailer. The single VFD converts the electric power of at least 13.8 kV to a VFD rated voltage level of at least 4160V and drives the single shaft electric motor at the VFD voltage level of up to 4160V to control the operation of the single shaft electric motor and the single hydraulic pump. The single shaft electric motor drives the single hydraulic pump with the rotation at the rated RPM level of at least 750 RPM. The single hydraulic pump continuously pumps the fracking media into the well at the HP level of at least 5000 HP. The single hydraulic pump operates on a continuous duty cycle to continuously pump the fracking media at the HP level of at least 5000 HP.

Description

FIELD OF DISCLOSURE[0001]This application is a U.S. Nonprovisional Application which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 805,521 filed on Feb. 14, 2019, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUNDField of Disclosure[0002]The present disclosure generally relates to electric driven hydraulic fracking systems and specifically to a single Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), a single shaft electric motor, and a single hydraulic pump positioned on a single pump trailer.Related Art[0003]Conventional hydraulic fracking systems are diesel powered in that several different diesel engines apply the power to the hydraulic pumps as well as several types of auxiliary systems that assist the hydraulic pumps to execute the fracking, such as hydraulic coolers and lube pumps. Conventional diesel powered hydraulic fracking systems require a diesel engine and a transmission to be connected to a hydraulic pump to drive the hydraulic pump. However, typically sev...
