The low-profile cover is provided with separate battery and pump compartments to isolate the battery and controller from the pump unit and any water drawn into the housing. The flood control device may include a sensor for detecting the presence of water and turning the pump unit on and off. The controller is connected to the solar panel and the pump unit and may be configured to optimize battery charging for poor or indirect lighting conditions.

A submersible pump and related methods are disclosed herein. The pump assembly includes a pump housing and a motor with a motor housing/cap and an output shaft connected to an impeller that is disposed in a volute. In some forms, a separate power circuit compartment is formed integral to one of the pump housing and/or volute to store power circuitry that allows a DC pump to be used and powered by AC voltage. In other forms, the power circuit compartment is formed separate from the pump assembly and fastened or connect to the pump assembly. In preferred forms, the power circuit compartment is positioned relative to the pump assembly at a point where it will be maintained at least partially within the fluid surrounding the pump to dissipate heat from the power circuit. Numerous methods are also disclosed and contemplated herein.

A high and low-pressure integrated air pump includes a single housing including an air inlet and an air outlet. A high-pressure pump is disposed within the housing and in fluid communication with the air inlet, and uses a first outlet passage to discharge to the air outlet. A low-pressure pump is also disposed within the housing and in fluid communication with the air inlet, and uses a second outlet passage to discharge to the air outlet.

A powertrain for powering wellsite pumping operations includes a power source for producing energy, a power bank, electric motors coupled to pumps, and a power management system. The power source can be a prime mover coupled to a generator, the prime mover sized for supply up to the average power demand of the pumping operation, and the power bank is sized to supply up to at least the difference between the peak and average power demand of the pumping operation, thereby providing a load levelling means to satisfy peak demand of the operation. The power management system manages the direction of current flow, state of charge of the power bank, and power source operation to provide least fuel consumption while meeting the power demand of the pumping operation.

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. A pump configuration includes a single VFD configuration, the single shaft electric motor, and the single shaft hydraulic pump mounted on the single pump trailer. The single VFD configuration converts the electric power at the power generation voltage level distributed from the power distribution trailer to a VFD voltage level and drives the single shaft electric motor to control the operation of the single shaft electric motor and the single hydraulic pump. The VFD voltage level is a voltage level that is required to drive the single shaft electric motor. The VFD configuration also controls operation of the auxiliary systems based on the electric power at the auxiliary voltage level.

Certain embodiments of the present application relate to a variable frequency drive (VFD) cabin for a pump configuration including a mobile trailer on which the VFD cabin is to be mounted. The VFD cabin generally includes a medium-voltage VFD and a ventilation system. In certain embodiments, the ventilation system is configured to generate an overpressure condition within the cabin to discourage the entry of dust and debris into the cabin. In certain embodiments, one or more components of the medium-voltage VFD are coupled to the floor of the cabin via a vibration damping system. In certain embodiments, the VFD cabin may be directly coupled to a chassis of the mobile trailer without an intervening suspension being provided between the VFD cabin and the chassis.

A deep learning-based cooling system temperature prediction apparatus has an artificial neural network modeled by connecting a plurality of artificial neural network submodels each including an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer is used. A pump flow speed, a cooling water flow rate, a battery inlet cooling water temperature, a motor inlet cooling water temperature, a radiator outlet cooling water temperature, a battery temperature, and a motor temperature are predicted by inputting at least one of a predetermined control variable, an environment variable, or a time variable to the plurality of artificial neural network submodels in accordance with a physical causality. A number of the plurality of artificial neural network submodels and the control variables or environment variables that are sequentially input to each submodel depend on divisional control and integral control of the cooling system.

An electric driven hydraulic fracking system is disclosed. A pump configuration includes the single VFD, the single shaft electric motor, and the single hydraulic pump mounted on the single pump trailer. A controller associated with the single VFD and is mounted on the single pump trailer. The controller monitors operation parameters associated with an operation of the electric driven hydraulic fracking system as each component of the electric driven hydraulic fracking system operates to determine whether the operation parameters deviate beyond a corresponding operation parameter threshold. Each of the operation parameters provides an indicator as to an operation status of a corresponding component of the electric driven hydraulic fracking system. The controller initiates corrected actions when each operation parameter deviates beyond the corresponding operation threshold. Initiating the corrected actions when each operation parameter deviates beyond the corresponding operation threshold maintains the operation of the electric driven hydraulic fracking system.
