The challenge
Part-time power in a remote location
In remote oil fields, pumps often run intermittently, while the generators that power them are always on. This not only means higher running costs and emissions, but the generators have a tendency to overheat and need more attention. A large company in the Permian Basin came to us with this exact problem. They had five wells, each with its own 40-horsepower pump, and needed a way to save costs by switching power off when the pumps were idle.
