  • Publication number: 20200340313
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10794165
    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. A power distribution trailer distributes the electric power generated by the power generation system at the power generation voltage level to the single VFD and converts the electric power at a power generation voltage level to a VFD voltage level and controls the operation of the single shaft electric motor and the single hydraulic pump. The power distribution trailer converts the electric power generated by the power generation system at the power generation level to an auxiliary voltage level that is less than the power generation voltage level. The power distribution trailer distributes the electric power at the auxiliary voltage level to the single VFD that controls an operation of the of the auxiliary systems.

  • Patent number: 10753153
    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. 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.

  • Publication number: 20200263526
    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.

  • Publication number: 20200263528
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20060275816
    Abstract: The invention combines a microarray and cell-based screening strategy that enables rapid identification of possible mechanisms underpinning the pharmacology and toxicology of drug candidates. The methods of the invention identified unique properties relating to apoptosis and the anti-inflammatory response elicited by several peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPAR?) ligands. The methods illustrate, for example, that PPAR? ligands that are safe and effective drugs (e.g., Actos, Avandia) either do not induce apoptosis or only modestly induce apoptosis. Conversely, PPAR? ligands that have failed clinical development (e.g., Ciglitazone; Day, C., Diabet. Med., 16: 179-192 (1999)) or that have been withdrawn from the market (e.g., Troglitazone (Rezulin)) due to hepatotoxicity are potent inducers of apoptosis.

  • Publication number: 20060234242
    Abstract: The identification and evaluation of mRNA and protein targets associated with RNA binding proteins or mRNP complexes is described. In particular, the invention provides methods for identifying RNA binding proteins associated with physiological pathways that participate in glucose and lipid metabolism and mRNAs that exhibit coordinated gene regulation across those M pathways. Candidate targets are provided that are useful for the diagnosis or treatment of diseases related to diseases, such as disease related to aberrant glucose and lipid metabolism, such as, for example, obesity, diabetes, and hypoglycemia.
