Energy System Designer

The Energy System Designer provides a visual interface for designing and documenting the power system that feeds your ESP installation. Access it from the Energy System Designer item in the navigation sidebar.

Purpose

The Energy System Designer allows 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
  • Calculate expected voltage drops and power losses through the system

Power System Components

The designer includes 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

Using the Designer

The Energy System Designer uses a component-based layout where you can:

  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
