Description

PERMANENT MAGNET MOTOR
FOR SUBSEA PUMP DRIVE
BACKGROUND [0001] The invention relates generally to subsea pumping systems and methods, and more specifically a canned permanent magnet motor for a subsea pump drive.
[0002] The need for subsea pumps in the oil and gas industry has been increasing due to increasing energy requirements, and because onshore energy sources are becoming more scarce. These industries must now look for energy sources offshore; and the distance between shore and subsea fields continues to increase.
[0003] Electrical motors have been selected as a standard to drive the subsea pumps due to ease of power transfer over long distances when compared to other drive systems and methods, including, for example, hydraulic driven pumps. Conventional systems and methods employ induction motors for driving the aforesaid subsea pumps. Use of induction type motors has been problematic however, since induction motors are low efficiency and low power factor motors. This low efficiency and low power factor undesirably require an oversized umbilical connection and variable frequency converter on the topside in order to provide a large amount of VAR power to the subsea motor. Both, the oversized umbilical connection and variable frequency converter undesirably increase the cost to the subsea pumping system.
[0004] It would be both advantageous and beneficial to provide a subsea pumping system that overcomes the problems generally associated with subsea pumping systems that employ induction motors. The subsea pumping system should have an overall efficiency that is greater than known subsea pumping systems utilizing induction motors, such that the subsea pumping system could function using a low power rating umbilical. It would be further advantageous if the subsea pumping system had a higher power factor lhan known subsea pumping systems utilizing induction motors, such that me subsea pumping system could function using a low power rating topside variable frequency convener.

[0007] According to yet another embodiment, a method of controlling a subsea pump comprises: providing a permanent magnet (PM) subsea pump drive motor, and controlling the PM drive motor such that the PM drive motor drives a subsea pump in response to variable frequency converter signals received fay the PM drive motor.

Hie cooling fluid 26 works to provide cooling of the stator 14, rotor 16, and the associated bearings. Ih another embodiment illustrated in Figures 1 and 2. the stator 14 is not canned, and the machine cavity 30 is filled with a clean cooling fluid having a suitable thermal conductivily while also possessing workable electrical insulation characteristics. A heat exchanger 34 operates to transfer heat from the motor 12 to outside seawater.

[0019] The encoder 32 is connected to one end of rotor shaft 24 to detector rotor position for proper speed/torque control of the permanent magnet motor 12. Traditional control approaches utilizing communication cables are difficult to employ when the VFD 35 is far away from me motor 12 due to signal attenuation along cables between the motor 12 and the VFD 35. Further, traditional sensoriess control approaches also face challenges due to difficulties associated with accurate measurement of motor terminal voltages through such long distances.

32 is connected to a subsea pump 40, such as a multiphase pump. There is a seal 42 between the motor 12 and pump 40 to block motor cooling fluid 26 from flowing into the pump 40. The fluid pressure inside the motor 12 is normally maintained higher than the fluid pressure inside the pump 40 via a pressurizer typically located subsea beside the motor 12, such as described below with reference to Figures 5 and 6, to prevent any processed fluid 44 flowing into the motor side from the pump side. Any motor cooling fluid leakage that may pass from the motor side into the pump side that occurs during motor-pump set rotation is replenished via a topside fluid tank 46 that is connected to the subsea motor 12 through an umbilical supply line 48 to provide cooling fluid as needed.

The back iron portion 54 is constructed from a suitable ferromagnetic material.
[0024] Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of the permanent magnet motor 12 depicted in Figures 1 aad 2, according to one embodiment. One portion of the motor shaft 24 is encapsulated via the rotor core 54. The permanent magnets 52 having north and south poles, are attached to the rotor core 54 via the rotor can 50. Slater laminations 56 having slots 58 surround the rotor can 50.
[0025] Figure 5 illustrates a permanent magnet motor subsea pump drive 100 according to another embodiment of the invention. Pump drive 100 includes a permanent magnet motor 102 that is cooled using the fluid 44 processed by the subsea pump 40. Subsea pump drive 100 does not require a topside storage tank or associated umbilical cooling fluid supply line such as employed by pump drive 10 described above with reference to Figures 1 and 2.
[0026] A pressurizer 104 is employed to maintain a positive pressure from the motor 12 to the subsea pomp 40 under all conditions. An optional liquid storage tank 106 can be used to store processed fluid 44 for motor cooling purposes when the processed fluid is purely gas.
[0027] The stator 14 is also encapsulated via a can 108 to prevent any process fluid 44 or gas from entering the stator 14 portion of the permanent magnet motor 102. This stator can 108 is filled wilh a dean cooling fluid 26, such as a suitable oil, to cool me stator 14. A heat exchanger 34 can be enjoyed to exchange heat from the motor 102 to outside seawater.
[0028] Subsea pump drive 100 also employs an encoder 32 mat is connected to one end of rotor shaft 24 to detector rotor position for proper speed/torque control of the permanent magnet motor 102. A rotor 16 position signal generated via the encoder 32 is transferred to a variable frequency converter (VFD) 35 via a wireless signal transmitter 36 according to one embodiment En another embodiment depicted in Figure 6, the rotor position signal is transferred to a VFD 38 via a suitable communication cable (40) and does not have a wireless transmitter such as depicted in Figure 5.

The PM motor subsea pump drive eliminates the necessity for a topside storage tank and associated fluid transfer lines when the motor rotor is cooled with processed fluid. [0030] The PM subsea pump drive motor achieves its high efficiency due to the permanent magnetic flux on the rotor linking the stβfor so that the PM motor can achieve higher efficiency due to absence of rotor current. [0031] The PM sυbsβa pump drive motor further has an increased power factor due to the absence of exciting current
[0032] The PM subsea pump drive motor employs lower power umbilical features due to the aforesaid high power factor and high motor efficiency.
