Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil and gas field fracturing, and in particular to a fracturing well site power supply system, a fracturing well site system, and a fracturing well site power supply method. Background Art
[0002] Currently, traditional oilfield fracturing sites use diesel engines to drive plunger pumps for fracturing operations. Due to the advantages of electric motors, such as low cost, low noise, and high power density, the use of electric motors to drive plunger pumps is becoming increasingly mainstream in electric fracturing operations. Using electric motors requires a power source. Existing solutions involve direct connection to the power grid, but this requires a long installation period and high investment. Furthermore, the power required for wellsite operations is high, which cannot meet the short-term high-power loads required during fracturing operations, and the power grid capacity cannot fully meet this demand. Therefore, the use of mobile generators mounted on vehicles to power the motors that drive the plunger pumps has become a new approach at oilfield fracturing wellsites.
[0003] At some smaller well sites, electric fracturing, combining mobile generators and electric fracturing equipment, is used. Compared to traditional diesel generators, these have a higher power density, allowing for smaller well site footprints. They also reduce noise and emissions during operation. However, a single generator set is used for the entire fracturing site. If a single generator set experiences a problem and shuts down, it can cause a power outage at the well site. This can also lead to well plugging during sand addition operations.
[0004] As wellsites expand in size, power demands increase. A single generator set is no longer sufficient for some high-power wellsites. To ensure smooth operations, multiple generator sets are often required to operate in parallel at a fracturing wellsite. In this scenario, if one generator set experiences a problem and shuts down, the load is immediately transferred to the remaining operating units, causing them to overload and shut down, ultimately shutting down all units and ultimately causing a power outage at the wellsite. This can also lead to well plugging during sand addition operations.
[0005] To prevent well plugging during fracturing after a generator outage, fracturing sites now utilize a combination of diesel-driven and electric-driven equipment. If the electric-driven fracturing equipment shuts down due to a power outage, the diesel-driven fracturing system can continue. This method of operation avoids sand plugging caused by a sudden generator outage. While this approach can improve some efficiency, it still offers no significant improvement compared to fully electric-driven well sites, such as the large footprint and excessive noise levels. Furthermore, it still offers limited economic benefits. Summary of the Invention

[0038] The fracturing well site power supply system and the fracturing well site system provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0039] Example 1
[0040] Embodiment 1 provides a fracturing well site power supply system and a fracturing well site system constructed based on the fracturing well site power supply system.
[0041] refer to Figure 1 The fracturing well site power supply system provided in the first embodiment includes: a plurality of power distribution equipment 10, each power distribution equipment 10 includes an incoming line portion 110 and an outgoing line portion 120, and the outgoing line portion 120 includes a plurality of outgoing line switch cabinets each having an outgoing line circuit breaker 121; a plurality of power generation units 20, the plurality of power generation units 20 are electrically connected to the incoming line portions 110 of the plurality of power distribution equipment 10; a plurality of electric-driven fracturing equipment 30, which are electrically connected to the outgoing line portions 120 of the plurality of power distribution equipment 10, each group of electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 includes a plurality of electric-driven fracturing equipment 30, and each electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 is respectively connected to one of the outgoing line circuit breakers 121 (see Figure 2 ).
[0042] Unless otherwise specified, in this application, when referring to multiple groups or a plurality, it means that the quantity is at least two. Multiple groups refers to two or more groups, and a plurality refers to two or more.
[0043] The power distribution unit 10 (power distribution unit) is used to supply the power of the power generation unit 20 to the electric drive fracturing equipment 30. Figure 1 As shown, the incoming portion 110 of each power distribution device 10 includes multiple incoming switchgear cabinets, each of which has an incoming circuit breaker. The multiple incoming circuit breakers of the incoming portion 110 of each power distribution device 10 are sequentially numbered CB1 to x, and may also be referred to as the first incoming circuit breaker, the second incoming circuit breaker, ..., the Xth incoming circuit breaker. The outgoing portion 120 includes multiple outgoing switchgear cabinets, each of which includes an outgoing circuit breaker 121. The multiple outgoing circuit breakers 121 of the outgoing portion 120 of each power distribution device 10 are sequentially numbered CB1 to y, and may also be referred to as the first outgoing circuit breaker, the second outgoing circuit breaker, ..., the Yth outgoing circuit breaker.
[0044] The power generation unit 20 can be of any appropriate type, and the embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit this. The power generation unit 20 includes, for example, at least one of an internal combustion engine generator set, a solar power generation panel, and an energy storage device. Optionally, the types of the power generation units 20 in each group are different. Each group of power generation units 20 includes at least one power generation source. At least one power generation source is connected in parallel or in parallel. In addition, the power generation unit 20 can be a combination of one or more forms such as vehicle-mounted, movable skid-mounted, semi-trailer-mounted, etc., and the embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit this.
[0045] The electric-driven fracturing device 30 is configured, for example, to pressurize low-pressure fracturing fluid and deliver it to the formation below the well 60. For example, the electric-driven fracturing device 30 may include an electric motor and a fracturing pump. The electric-driven fracturing device 30 may be skid-mounted, vehicle-mounted, or semi-trailer-mounted. The electric motor may be controlled by a frequency converter. The frequency converter may include a frequency converter that is connected to and controls the electric motor on the electric-driven fracturing device 30. The frequency converter may also be skid-mounted, vehicle-mounted, or semi-trailer-mounted. The fracturing pump may be, for example, a plunger pump.
[0046] The electric fracturing equipment 30 may also include a lubrication device. The lubrication device may include, for example, an electric motor, a lubrication pump, a lubrication oil tank, and a radiator. The lubrication pump delivers lubricating oil from the lubrication oil tank to the radiator for heat dissipation, and then delivers the lubricating oil after heat dissipation to the fracturing pump.
[0047] In addition, if Figure 1As shown, the fracturing well site power supply system also includes auxiliary equipment 40. The auxiliary equipment 40 can supply power to all the electric-driven fracturing equipment 30. The auxiliary equipment 40 includes, for example, a sand mixing device 410, which supplies power to all the electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 through a low-pressure pipeline 420.
[0048] The auxiliary equipment 40 also includes, for example, a fluid mixing and supply device and a sand supply device. In some cases, the fracturing fluid injected into the well 60 is a sand-carrying fluid, which is suspended in the fracturing fluid by mixing water, sand, and chemical additives. For example, clean water and chemical additives can be mixed in the fluid mixing and supply device to form a mixed liquid. The mixed liquid in the fluid mixing and supply device and the sand in the sand supply device are then mixed together in the sand mixing device to form the sand-carrying fracturing fluid required for the operation. The sand mixing device 410 delivers the resulting low-pressure fracturing fluid to the fluid inlet of the electric fracturing device 30. The electric fracturing device 30 pressurizes the low-pressure fracturing fluid and then delivers it to the high-pressure pipeline 310.
[0049] In this embodiment, the fracturing well site system further includes a power generation monitoring center 70 and a fracturing monitoring center 80 , which are used to monitor the working status of each power generation unit 20 and the working status of each electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 , respectively.
[0050] In the present application, multiple groups of power generation units 20 can be divided into groups A, B...N, and multiple groups of electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 can be divided into groups a, b...n; multiple groups of power distribution equipment 10 can be divided into groups (1), (2)...(X), and multiple wells 60 can be divided into well I, well II...well X. Specifically, taking the example of the power generation units 20 being divided into groups A and B and the electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 being divided into groups a and b, the working principle of the fracturing well field power supply system of the embodiment of the present application is described in detail.
[0051] The power generation unit 20 of group A is connected to the multiple incoming circuit breakers CB1~x of the (1) group power distribution equipment 10, and the multiple outgoing circuit breakers 121 (CB1~y) of the (1) group power distribution equipment 10 are connected to each electric-driven fracturing device 30 in group a of electric-driven fracturing devices 30. Similarly, the power generation unit 20 of group B is connected to the multiple incoming circuit breakers CB1~x of the (2) group power distribution equipment 10, and the multiple outgoing circuit breakers 121 (CB1~y) of the (2) group power distribution equipment 10 are connected to each electric-driven fracturing device 30 in group b of electric-driven fracturing devices 30.
[0052] For example, there are two wells 60, namely Well I and Well II. In group a, some of the electric fracturing equipment 30 is supplied to Well I, and the remaining is supplied to Well II. In group b, some of the electric fracturing equipment 30 is supplied to Well I, and the remaining is supplied to Well II.
[0053] Specifically, the number of electric-driven fracturing devices 30 in group a is, for example, 4. The number of electric-driven fracturing devices 30 in group b is, for example, 4. Of the 4 electric-driven fracturing devices 30 in group a, 2 electric-driven fracturing devices 30 supply well I, and the other 2 electric-driven fracturing devices 30 supply well II. Of the 4 electric-driven fracturing devices 30 in group b, 2 electric-driven fracturing devices 30 supply well I, and the other 2 electric-driven fracturing devices 30 supply well II.
[0054] For Wells I and II: Well I 60 is equipped with four electrically driven fracturing devices 30, and these four electrically driven fracturing devices 30 are powered by Group A power generation units 20 and Group B power generation units 20. Well II is equipped with four electrically driven fracturing devices 30, and these four electrically driven fracturing devices 30 are also powered by Group A power generation units 20 and Group B power generation units 20. This way, if Group A power generation units 20 or Group B power generation units 20 malfunction and shut down, both Wells I and II will still have a group of power generation units 20 providing power, preventing well blockage.
[0055] In the present application, by grouping the power generation units 20 and the electric-driven fracturing equipment 30, the electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 is divided into two or more groups of independent equipment that operate independently. The regional division allows the power supply of the electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 to each well 60 to be not limited to one power generation unit 20, but the independent power supply of each power generation equipment does not interfere with each other. When any power generation unit 20 fails, it does not affect other power generation units 20, thereby completing the power supply task while avoiding well blockage accidents. When the power generation units 20 and the electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 are divided into two or more groups, the principles are similar, and so on and so forth, and will not be repeated here.
[0056] Furthermore, multiple sets of auxiliary power supplies 50 are connected to the automatic transfer switch 510, and selectively supply power to the auxiliary equipment 40 simultaneously through the automatic transfer switch 510. The multiple sets of auxiliary power supplies 50 supply power to the auxiliary equipment 40 shared by each electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 through the automatic transfer switch 510.
[0057] For example, the automatic transfer switch 510 connects two auxiliary power supplies 50, group A and group B. When the auxiliary power supply 50 of group A fails, it immediately switches to the auxiliary power supply 50 of group B that has not failed, so that the auxiliary equipment 4040 can be quickly restored.
[0058] The fracturing well site system of this embodiment includes the above-mentioned fracturing well site power supply system and multiple wells 60. The multiple electric-driven fracturing devices 30 in each group are divided into multiple groups to supply different wells 60 respectively.
[0059] Example 2
[0060] like Figure 2As shown, the second embodiment is further improved on the basis of the first embodiment. Specifically, in the second embodiment, the incoming line parts 110 of each power distribution device 10 are connected in parallel through the busbar 130. In this way, each power distribution device 10 is connected to the power generation unit 20 of groups A, B...N. Multiple groups of power generation units 20 are connected in parallel to supply power. In this embodiment, the outlet circuit breaker 210 ( Figure 2 The CB in the figure is connected to the incoming circuit breaker of each power distribution device 10. The auxiliary equipment 40, such as the sand mixing equipment, can be connected to one of the outgoing circuit breakers 121 of any power distribution device 10.
[0061] Exemplary:
[0062] The auxiliary equipment 40 is connected to CB1 (the first outlet circuit breaker) of the (1) group power distribution equipment 10. If a fault occurs in the power generation unit 20 of the group A, the outlet circuit breaker 210 of the power generation unit 20 of the group A is opened. At this time, the opening state of the outlet circuit breaker 210 of the power generation unit 20 of the group A can disconnect CB2~y of the (1) group power distribution equipment 10 connected to the part a electric drive equipment, that is, disconnect the second outlet circuit breaker 121, the third outlet circuit breaker 121...the Yth outlet circuit breaker 121 of the (1) group power distribution equipment 10, thereby disconnecting the part a electric drive fracturing equipment 3010. The opening state of the outlet circuit breaker 210 of each power generation unit 20 can be monitored by the power generation monitoring center 70.
[0063] If a fault occurs in the power generation unit 20 of group B, the outlet circuit breaker 210 of the power generation unit 20 of group B is opened. At this time, the outlet circuit breaker CB2~y of the (2) group of power distribution equipment 10 connected to the electric drive equipment of part B can be disconnected through the open state of the outlet circuit breaker 210 of the power generation unit 20 of group B, that is, the second outlet circuit breaker, the third outlet circuit breaker...the Yth outlet circuit breaker of the (2) group of power distribution equipment 10 are disconnected, thereby disconnecting the electric drive fracturing equipment 30 of part B. If a fault occurs in the power generation unit 20 of group N, the same applies.
[0064] It should be pointed out that in this embodiment, each group of power generation units 20 realizes parallel power supply. Therefore, taking the failure of group A power generation unit 20 as an example, at this time, the outgoing line circuit breaker CB2~y of group (2) power distribution equipment 10 can also be disconnected, so as to disconnect part b of the electric-driven fracturing equipment 30.
[0065] In the above manner, when a group of power generation units 20 fails, the outgoing line circuit breaker 121 of the power distribution equipment 10 can be controlled to be disconnected, thereby achieving load shedding.
[0066] In this embodiment, the power interface of the auxiliary device 40 can be connected to an outgoing circuit breaker 121 of any power distribution device 10. A failure in any generator set will not disconnect the power supply to the auxiliary device 40, and the auxiliary device 40 will always be powered. Furthermore, the power supply method for the auxiliary device 40 in this embodiment can be the same as that in the first embodiment, namely, using the auxiliary power supply 50 of the first embodiment.
[0067] Example 3
[0068] like Figure 3 As shown, the third embodiment is obtained by further improving the second embodiment. Specifically, the difference between the third embodiment and the second embodiment is:
[0069] In the third embodiment, a first control module 710 is further included. The first control module 710 is connected to each power generation unit 20 and is configured with a mapping relationship between multiple groups of power generation units 20 and all outgoing line circuit breakers 121. During the fracturing well site operation, the first control module 710 obtains information about the inactive power generation units 20 in the multiple groups of power generation units 20 and disconnects the outgoing line circuit breakers 121 corresponding to the inactive power generation units 20.
[0070] The first control module 710 is specifically disposed in the power generation monitoring center 70. The first control module 710 is connected to each power distribution device 10 and power generation unit 20 via wired or wireless communication. Optionally, the first control module 710 is connected to each power distribution device 10 and power generation unit 20 via an Ethernet cable 720. Optionally, the power supply method for the auxiliary device 40 is the same as that in the second embodiment and will not be further described. The activation status information of the power generation unit 20 can be obtained by monitoring the status of its outlet circuit breaker 210.
[0071] In this embodiment, each power generation unit 20 is pre-grouped based on its maximum power and the power consumption of the electric-driven fracturing equipment 30, and a mapping relationship is established. Specifically, the controller pre-assigns groups A, B, and N of power generation units 20 to match the corresponding outgoing circuit breakers 121 of the power distribution equipment 10. Generally, the maximum output power of each power generation unit 20 varies, and each power generation unit 20 is matched with a different number of electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 of corresponding power. The circuit breaker signals of each power generation unit 20 can be arbitrarily grouped across the outgoing circuit breakers 121 of the power distribution equipment 10.
[0072] For example, assuming that the power of the power generation unit 20 of group A is smaller than the power of the power generation unit 20 of group B, the power generation unit 20 of group B can be interlocked with more outgoing line circuit breakers 121. Assume that the auxiliary equipment 40 is connected to CB1 of the (1) group distribution equipment 10, that is, connected to the first outgoing line circuit breaker of the (1) group distribution equipment 10. At this time, the power generation unit 20 of group A can be pre-set to interlock with CB2~3 of the outgoing line part 120 of the (1) group distribution equipment 10, that is, interlock with the second and third outgoing line circuit breakers of the (1) group distribution equipment 10. The B group power generation unit 20 interlocks the outgoing circuit breakers CB4~y of the (1) group power distribution equipment 10, that is, interlocks the fourth outgoing circuit breaker to the yth outgoing circuit breaker of the (1) group power distribution equipment 10, and at the same time interlocks the outgoing circuit breakers CB4~y of the (2) group power distribution equipment 10 and the outgoing circuit breakers CB1~2 of the (X) group power distribution equipment 10; the N generator group interlocks the outgoing circuit breakers CB4~y of the (2) group power distribution equipment 10.
[0073] In this embodiment, if a power generation unit 20 fails, the controller automatically disconnects the corresponding outgoing line circuit breaker 121 according to pre-set grouping settings, thereby shedding the load. This ensures that if one or more power generation units 20 fail, the load of the subsequently connected electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 will not be transferred to the remaining healthy power generation units 20, ensuring that well operations can continue without causing well blockage.
[0074] Example 4
[0075] like Figure 4 As shown, the fourth embodiment is obtained by further improving the second embodiment. Specifically, the difference between the fourth embodiment and the third embodiment is:
[0076] The fracturing wellsite power supply system includes both a first control module 710 and a second control module 810. The second control module 810 is connected to each electrically driven fracturing device 30 and the first control module 710 via wired or wireless communication. The second control module 810 monitors the power and total power information of each electrically driven fracturing device 30 in real time and transmits it to the first control module 710. The first control module 710 is connected to each power generation unit 20 and is used to determine and disconnect a portion of the outgoing line circuit breakers 121 based on the total output power of multiple power generation units 20 during fracturing wellsite operations.
[0077] The second control module 810 is provided in the fracturing monitoring center 80 . The second control module 810 reads the real-time power of all the electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 , accumulates the total power, and sends the data to the first control module 710 .
[0078] Similar to the second and third embodiments, the auxiliary device 40 in this embodiment can be connected to one of the outgoing circuit breakers 121 of any power distribution device 10. No matter which generator set fails, the power supply to the auxiliary device 40 will not be disconnected, and the auxiliary device 40 will always be powered.
[0079] Each power distribution device 10 can be connected to each group of electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 in an interval connection manner, that is, (1) group power distribution equipment 10 is connected to group a electric-driven fracturing equipment 30, (2) group power distribution equipment 10 is connected to group b electric-driven fracturing equipment 30, and so on.
[0080] When a power generation unit 20 fails, the first control module 710 automatically calculates the maximum output power capacity of the remaining power generation units 20 and compares it with the total power sent from the second control module 810 to determine how many outgoing line circuit breakers 121 need to be disconnected, thereby ensuring that the load end power does not exceed the maximum output power of the remaining power generation units 20.
[0081] In some embodiments, the first control module 710 is configured to, when the total output power of the multiple power generation units 20 is less than the total power of the electric-driven fracturing equipment 30, sequentially disconnect the outgoing circuit breakers 121 until the total output power is no less than the total power. Specifically, the controller is pre-configured with the order of the outgoing circuit breakers 121, automatically disconnecting each outgoing circuit breaker 121 according to the order from smallest to largest.
[0082] This ensures that when one or more power generation units 20 fail, the load of the subsequent electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 will not be transferred to the remaining fault-free power generation units 20, ensuring that the well site continues to operate without causing well blockage.
[0083] Exemplary, reference Figure 4 , assuming that the auxiliary equipment 40 is connected to CB1 of the (1) group of distribution equipment 10, that is, connected to the first outgoing line circuit breaker of the (1) group of distribution equipment 10. Each distribution equipment 10 has 10 outgoing line circuit breakers 121, the power of each electric fracturing equipment 30 is 2MW, and the output power of the power generation unit 20 of group A is 30MW. When a fault occurs in the power generation unit 20 of group A, the first control module 710 needs to disconnect 15 outgoing line circuit breakers 121 according to the calculation, and then the first control module 710 automatically disconnects CB2~10 of the (1) group of distribution equipment 10 and disconnects CB1~6 of the (2) group of distribution equipment 10.
[0084] In this embodiment, the first control module 710 sequentially disconnects each outgoing circuit breaker 121 until the total output power is not less than the total power. Of course, the first control module 710 can disconnect the outgoing circuit breaker 121 according to other algorithm rules.
[0085] For example, the first control module 710 selects to disconnect an outgoing circuit breaker 121 from each power distribution device 10 in turn. When all power distribution devices 10 disconnect an outgoing circuit breaker 121 but the total output power is still less than the total power, it repeats to select to disconnect an outgoing circuit breaker 121 from each power distribution device 10 in turn.
[0086] In this way, after one or more power generation units 20 fail, it can be ensured that as many power distribution devices 10 as possible are put into use at the same time, so that each well 60 can have some electric fracturing equipment 30 to supply the well 60 normally.
[0087] refer to Figure 5 An embodiment of the present application provides a method for powering a fracturing well site, comprising the steps of:
[0088] S100 , connecting multiple groups of power generation units 20 to the incoming line parts 110 of multiple groups of power distribution equipment 10 , respectively. The outgoing line part 120 of each power distribution equipment 10 includes multiple outgoing line switch cabinets each having an outgoing line circuit breaker 121 .
[0089] S200. Electrically connect multiple groups of electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 to the outlet parts 120 of multiple groups of distribution equipment 10 accordingly and supply multiple wells 60, wherein each group of the electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 includes multiple electric-driven fracturing equipment 30, and each electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 is respectively connected to an outlet circuit breaker 121, and the multiple electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 in each group of electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 supply different wells 60.
[0090] refer to Figure 1 By grouping the power generation units 20 and the electric-driven fracturing equipment 30, the electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 is divided into two or more groups of independent equipment that operate independently. The regional division allows the power supply for the electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 of each well 60 to be not limited to one power generation unit 20. However, the independent power supply of each power generation equipment does not interfere with each other. When any power generation unit 20 fails, it will not affect other power generation units 20. Therefore, while completing the power supply task, it can also avoid well blockage accidents.
[0091] refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the method further includes the following steps: S300 , disconnecting the corresponding outgoing circuit breaker 121 of the power distribution equipment 10 according to the opening state of the outlet circuit breaker 210 of the power generation unit 20 .
[0092] In this embodiment, when a power generation unit 20 fails, the outlet circuit breaker 210 of that power generation unit 20 is disconnected, and the operator can disconnect the corresponding outgoing circuit breaker 121 of the power distribution device 10. If the outgoing circuit breaker 121 of the corresponding power distribution device 10 is not connected to the auxiliary device 40, all outgoing circuit breakers 121 of the power distribution device 10 are disconnected. If a certain outgoing circuit breaker 121 of the corresponding power distribution device 10 is connected to the auxiliary device 40, the other outgoing circuit breakers 121 of the power distribution device 10 are disconnected.
[0093] refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the method further comprises the steps of:
[0094] S400 , monitoring and acquiring information of unactivated power generation units 20 in the plurality of groups of power generation units 20 .
[0095] S500 : Disconnect the outgoing line circuit breaker 121 corresponding to the disabled power generation unit 20 .
[0096] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first control module 710 of the power generation unit 20 monitoring center can obtain information about inactive power generation units 20 (i.e., information about faulty power generation units 20). Specifically, the fault can be determined by the trip status of the outlet circuit breaker 210 of the power generation unit 20. The first control module 710 then disconnects the outlet circuit breaker 121 corresponding to the faulty power generation unit 20.
[0097] refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the method further comprises the steps of:
[0098] S600: Obtain power information and total power information of each of the electric-driven fracturing devices 30.
[0099] S700 , during a fracturing well site operation, determining and disconnecting some outgoing line breakers 121 based on the total output power of the multiple groups of power generation units 20 .
[0100] Furthermore, step S700 includes:
[0101] S710: When the total output power of the multiple power generation units 20 is less than the total power of the electric-driven fracturing equipment 30, disconnect each outgoing circuit breaker 121 in sequence until the total output power is no less than the total power. Specifically, the first control module 710 disconnects each outgoing circuit breaker 121 in sequence until the total output power is no less than the total power.
[0102] Alternatively, step S700 includes:
[0103] S720 : When the total output power of the multiple power generation units 20 is less than the total power of the electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 , disconnect one outgoing circuit breaker 121 from each power distribution equipment 10 in turn.
[0104] S730 : When all the power distribution devices 10 have disconnected one outgoing circuit breaker 121 but the total output power is still less than the total power, repeatedly disconnect one outgoing circuit breaker 121 from each power distribution device 10 in sequence.
[0105] In this embodiment, when a power generation unit 20 fails, the first control module 710 automatically calculates the maximum output power capacity of the remaining power generation units 20, compares it with the total power sent from the second control module 810, and determines how many outgoing line circuit breakers 121 need to be disconnected, thereby ensuring that the load-end power does not exceed the maximum output power of the remaining power generation units 20. This ensures that if one or more power generation units 20 fail, the subsequent load of the electric-driven fracturing equipment 30 will not be transferred to the remaining healthy power generation units 20, ensuring that operations at the well site can continue without causing well blockage.
[0106] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
