Patent number: 11578579Abstract: A frac system includes power generation equipment and a power storage device used to provide electric power to one or more pieces of frac equipment. The frac system includes a power controller used to control the source of the power to the frac equipment. The power controller may measure the charge status for the power storage device and the electrical power load being used by the frac equipment. The power controller may engage or disengage the power generation equipment based on the measured charge status and electrical power load, may control the source of the power provided to the frac equipment, and may control whether the power storage device is being charged.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2020Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: STEWART & STEVENSON LLCInventors: Chad Joost, Chris Harvell, Brian Sharp, Paul Smith, Ronnie Stover
