Abstract: In some implementations, a controller may obtain an indication of a first crank angle associated with a first pump, of a dual-pump single-power source system, that is mechanically connected to a power source of the dual-pump single-power source system via a first clutch. The controller may obtain an indication of a second crank angle associated with a second pump, of the dual-pump single-power source system, that is mechanically connected to the power source via a second clutch. The controller may determine that a difference between the first crank angle and the second crank angle is outside of a tolerance of a crank angle difference value. The controller may modulate a fluid pressure associated with at least one of the first clutch or the second clutch to cause the difference between the first crank angle and the second crank angle to be within the tolerance of the crank angle difference value.

Abstract: An oscillation controller operates on engine speed or RPM data from a pump or pumping unit associated with a wellbore operation. The oscillation controller determines a measure of variability, such as a bandwidth, for the engine speed over a rolling time window and compares the measure of variability to an oscillation bandwidth threshold. The oscillation controller determines that erratic behavior or oscillation is present when the measure of variability exceeds the oscillation bandwidth threshold, and for such instances measures a duration of erratic behavior with a variability timer. If the oscillation controller determines that the erratic behavior has subsided, the variability timer is cleared. The oscillation controller generates at least one warning whenever the variability timer exceeds an oscillation warning threshold.

Abstract: In some implementations, a controller may obtain a setting for a maximum discharge pressure associated with a fluid pump that is to be allowed during a hydraulic fracturing operation. The fluid pump may be driven by a motor that is controlled by a variable frequency drive (VFD). The controller may determine a maximum torque for the motor that achieves the maximum discharge pressure. The controller may cause, via the VFD, adjustment to a speed of the motor to maintain a torque of the motor at or below the maximum torque for the motor.
