The Baker Hughes Electrospeed Advantage™ variable speed drive (VSD) with advanced production software increases the uptime and reliability of your electrical submersible pumping (ESP) system.

The Advantage VSD’s control system software helps reduce power and downtime costs while optimizing production. Our engineers designed this VSD to solve the most common ESP problems you experience

daily: gas locking, diffi culty starting, power consumption, and power sags.

Backed by 30 years of VSD innovation for the oil and gas industry, the Electrospeed Advantage drive is offered as part of the next generation of ESP control products.

The Advantage drive features Real-Time Torque Command (RTTC), which delivers the exact amount of torque that the pumping

Applications ESPs, PCPs, and surface pumps

Geothermal, SAGD, and other elevated temperature applications

Arctic, tropical, and desert conditions

Features and Benefi ts Real-time cable compensation

– Ensures the proper applied voltage

at the surface, dynamically, as

loads change

Power Ride Through™ software – Maximizes well uptime and

mitigates intermittent power supply

MaxRate™ software – Enhances production by reducing

gas lock and pump off

Intuitive color display and external USB/Ethernet ports – Easy and safe software updates and

data downloads

Integrated filter section for FPWM output – Improves reliability and reduces downtime

TUV-certified NEMA 4 – Third-party certified for

environmental and safety assurance

All the time-tested features of the Electrospeed 3 such as: MaxStart™ software for hard start applications – Best-in-class starting characteristics

in harsh downhole environments

MaxPoint™ software for frequency sweep capabilities – Ensures minimal shock to the reservoir

during startup and rate change events

Either Filtered Pulse Width Modulated (FPWM) or ESP output – FPWM delivers a near-perfect sine

wave to the ESP motor, reducing

heat and potentially-damaging

torque oscillations

– Promotes increased ESP uptime.

System can automatically run in

proven ESP (6-step) output in the

event of a filter problem.

Electrospeed Advantage Variable Speed DriveIncrease ESP uptime and reliability with intelligent production software and Real-Time Torque Command

load requires at any given instant. With torque being calculated in real time, this allows for precise control and protection in the presence of varying loads. With the capability to load modular, built-for-purpose production-assisting software, the Advantage VSD will improve the performance of your ESP system. Built based on the effective foundation of the Electrospeed 3, we offer a complete control system to optimize your ESP operations and boost system reliability.

The Electrospeed Advantage VSD offers plug-and-play compatibility with our downhole sensors. This enables a holistic view of both the downhole and surface conditions.

Our Baker Hughes Vision™ monitoring and automation service is seamless with the Advantage drive. It connects with Vision services to deliver data from the well site while Vision applications turn this data into a decision-making tool in your offi ce.

Finally, our intelligent production software within the Advantage VSD offers specifi c solutions to reoccurring ESP problems:

MaxRate software mitigates gas locking and pump off by determining when a pump is approaching these unfavorable conditions and varies pump speed to prevent them. This allows the well to produce longer, thereby increasing the ESP system uptime and reliability.

Power Ride Through software: power sags have always been a nuisance and result in considerable downtime. Our upgraded Power Ride Through software keeps your system on for as long as one second** through a power interruption. This makes the ESP system able to withstand the majority of power sags.

Real-time cable compensation

calculates the appropriate surface voltage (at the output of the VSD) based on changing loads, dynamically. This assures that the proper motor voltage is being applied at all times for most efficient operation.

Back spin detection and restart without a separate module. By accurately monitoring the torque of the ESP system, the Advantage VSD can sense a

backspinning pump and restart the system when torque levels are safe. This gets wells online faster, increasing production.

Power monitoring. The Advantage VSD now includes, with optional current transformers (CT’s) and potential transformers (PT’s), power monitoring functions such as instantaneous kW, power factor, efficiency, and kW-hours, helping the user to monitor the energy used in producing fluid top optimize their expenses.
