Abstract
In the article, the schemes for providing AC power with frequency conversion for the induction submersible electric drive of oil production units are analyzed. The electric submersible drive is widely used and has stringent efficiency requirements, so this research is relevant. The centrifugal pump units are composed of a low-voltage power source, a frequency converter, a step-up transformer, a cable line, an electric drive and a centrifugal pump. This article discusses options for replacing the step-up transformer and two-level voltage / frequency converter with a three-level flying capacitor converter (FCC) or a three-level clamping diode converter (NPC). The expected states of the power high voltage IGBT modules are described. The waveforms of the inverter output voltage and the submersible induction motor stator voltage in different circuits are shown. A voltage levels analysis for each module is done, the electric drive starting time change is estimated, the total harmonic distortions (THD) are calculated, and a 1.1% THD reduction by applying the NPC circuit is shown. The harmonic current spectrum for each circuit is presented.
