Abstract

Dynamic response of variable frequency drives (VFD) during short-circuit faults for the electrical submersible pump (ESP) systems are investigated in this paper. Because of special characteristics of VFDs and ESP systems, the dynamic response of the drive during faults is quite different from that of general power distribution systems. The simulation conducted by PSCAD provides detailed and clear pictures how the drive and the ESP motor will react for each specific fault.
