Abstract

Electric submersible pumps (ESP) are widely used in artificial lift devices in offshore oil and gas. Induction motor drives are the current standard for ESPs. This paper presents the design, analysis and operation of energy efficient, compact and cost effective interior permanent magnet (IPM) motors for applications in ESP drive systems. The design of an original prototype IPM motor with straight-magnets orientation is presented in this paper. The performance results of a laboratory prototype 3-phase 4-pole 208V IPM motor for ESP drives are also presented and analyzed.
