GE Power Conversion’s Voltage Source inverters (VSI) are available for Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESP) systems, for offshore and onshore applications.

When combined with an electrical submersible moto-pump, either based on induction or permanent magnet technology, our MV6 or MV7 drives based solution presents many advantages:

• No need for a step-up transformer thanks to our equipment’s capacity to provide the required voltage, up to 13.8 kV
• With less equipment needed, our solutions are more compact –gain in weight and footprint– and more reliable
• Capability to drive several motors with a single unit

Electrical Submersible Pumps system

Power capacity

• Up to 10 MW with a single VSI drive panel
• Up to and 13.8 kV output motor voltage
• N+1 power cells redundancy

Available topologies

• Diode Front End (DFE)
• Active Front End (AFE) with reactive power generation & power factor control up to unit
• Transformer-less up to 13.8 kV –for reduced footprint, higher reliability, efficiency and improved grid quality

It is available with air-or water-cooling system. We also propose grid harmonics study and cable study.
