    摘要: A mobile source of electricity is converted from a transportation mode to an operational mode. A turbine disposed on the mobile source of electricity is operated to generate electricity in the operational mode. A first control valve is operated to feed a cooling agent from a cooling agent source into a heat transfer apparatus disposed in an air intake flow path of the turbine to cool intake air. A second control valve is operated to vent from the heat transfer apparatus, the cooling agent that is heated by absorbing heat from the intake air flowing through the air intake flow path. A controller controls the first and second control valves to maintain the cooling agent having predetermined properties in the heat transfer apparatus.

    摘要: A power generation transport includes a gas turbine, an inlet plenum coupled to an intake of the gas turbine, a generator driven by the gas turbine, and an air intake and exhaust module including an air inlet filter housing, an intake air duct coupled to the housing at a first end and to the inlet plenum at a second end, and an exhaust collector coupled to an exhaust of the gas turbine. The transport further includes at least one base frame. The frame mounts and aligns the gas turbine, the inlet plenum, the generator, and the air intake and exhaust module. The intake air duct is mounted on the base frame so as to be disposed underneath the gas turbine, and extend along the base frame from an exhaust end side of the gas turbine to an intake end side, in a longitudinal direction of the power generation transport.

    摘要: A method and system are disclosed for providing electrical power from a utility electric grid to a fracturing operation, and an electrically powered fracturing system. A mobile substation includes at least two transformer units that are operatively coupled to the utility electric grid in a parallel orientation, wherein the transformer units are capable of accessing power from the utility electric grid and stepping down the power for delivery to a switchgear. An electric motor is operatively coupled to a hydraulic fracturing pump and operatively controlled by a variable frequency drive. At least one open air relay cable is operatively coupled between the switchgear and the electric motor and capable of delivering power to the electric motor.
