[0015]Embodiments of the system usable within the scope of this disclosure may provide for VFD(s) having an active front end. The active front end that may be used with the VFD(s) actively switches insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBT's) at a frequency of approximately 3,500 Hz and inductor-capacitor-inductor passive filters (LCLs). Actively filtering the signals inputted into the VFD the enables active signal modulation which reduces the possibility of, and may be used to actively prevent, the system developing harmonics that could adversely affect the transport of the fracturing materials. Such an active front end provides for superior line canceling harmonics when using electricity from the power grid as compared to conventiona...
Problems solved by technology
Fracturing using aqueous fluids is often undesirable due to the negative effects of water on the formation.
For example, clays and other formation components can swell when exposed to water, while salts and other formation components may dissolve, such that exposure to a significant quantity of water can destabilize a formation.
Use of water and other aqueous fluids also generates issues regarding disposal.
Such a process can add considerable time and expense to a fracturing operation.
Additionally, many hydrocarbon-based fluids are volatile and/or otherwise unsuitable for use at wellbore temperatures and pressures, while lacking the density sufficient to carry many types of proppant.
Use of chemi...

Abstract
The disclosure contained herein describes systems, units, and methods usable to stimulate a formation including a pump usable to pressurize fluid, an electric-powered driver in communication with and actuating the pump, and an electrical power source in communication with and powering the electric-powered driver. The electrical power source can include on-site generators and/or grid power sources, and transformers can be used to alter the voltage received to a voltage suitable for powering the electric-powered driver. Air moving devices associated with the electric-powered driver can be used to provide air proximate to the pump to disperse gasses. In combination with fluid supply and/or proppant addition subsystems, the pump can be used to fracture a formation.
