Energy System Designer

Coming Soon

The Energy System Designer is a planned feature for a future ESP-GUARDX release. The content below describes the intended capabilities and is subject to change before launch.

The Energy System Designer will provide a visual interface for designing and documenting the power system that feeds your ESP installation.

Planned Purpose

The Energy System Designer will allow you to:

  • Map the complete power delivery chain from generator/utility to the ESP motor
  • Define specifications for each power system component
  • Document the system topology for maintenance and troubleshooting reference
  • Diagnose the root cause of the event such as dip / sag / interrupt
  • The more data and / or info given the clearer the analysis and diagnostic cabability

Planned Power System Components

The designer is expected to include the following configurable components:

Generator

The power source for the ESP system (if not utility-fed):

  • Manufacturer and model
  • KW and KVA ratings
  • Output frequency
  • Voltage

Transformer

Step-up or step-down transformer between the surface power source and the ESP motor:

  • KVA rating
  • Impedance percentage
  • Pulse configuration (6, 12, 18, or 24 pulse)
  • Vector group (e.g., Dyn11)

VFD / VSD (Variable Frequency Drive / Variable Speed Drive)

The drive that controls motor speed by varying output frequency:

  • Manufacturer and model
  • Rated current
  • Output frequency range
  • Input/output voltage

UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)

Backup power for the control system:

  • KVA rating
  • Battery backup duration
  • Input/output voltage

Motor

The ESP motor specifications:

  • Horsepower
  • Rated voltage and current
  • Rated frequency
  • Number of poles

Cables and Impedances

Power cables connecting system components:

  • Cable type and length
  • Voltage and current ratings
  • Impedance values
  • Insulation type

Planned Workflow

The Energy System Designer is expected to use a component-based layout where you will be able to:

  1. Select a component from the available options
  2. Configure its specifications using the properties panel
  3. View the complete system as a connected chain of components

Note

When released, the Energy System Designer will be a documentation and reference tool. Changes there will describe the physical system but will not directly control any equipment.
