  • Pump jack controller and method for using same for electricity generation
    Patent number: 10250168
    Abstract: A pump jack controller is provided that can harness the waste energy generated during the operation of a pump jack when its electrical motor is in an over-speed condition, and convert that waste energy into electrical energy that can be supplied back onto an electrical power grid thus converting the pump jack into a micro electric power generator.
    Type: Grant

  • Controller for use with a reciprocating electric submersible pump
    Patent number: 9689383
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for controlling a reciprocating electric submersible pump with an AC linear motor. The system includes a programmable logic controller for controlling an inverter to provide pulse-width modulated AC power to the linear motor. Under operating conditions, a constant voltage is applied to the linear motor whose operating frequency can be controlled by the pulse-width modulation.
