Understanding how energy is consumed across an ESP system is essential for evaluating design efficiency and identifying opportunities for improvement. Traditionally, engineers may need to review power consumption and losses across individual components before they can understand the overall picture.

The new Energy Consumption Report in nv.design brings this information together in one view, helping engineers quickly identify the main sources of energy losses, evaluate system efficiency, and understand the associated electricity cost.

Energy losses across the complete ESP system

The report provides a complete breakdown of energy losses across the main ESP system components, including the pump, cable, motor, switchboard/VSD, transformer, gas separator, and motor seal.

For each component, engineers can review:

• Input and output power
• Energy losses in hp and percentage
• Component efficiency
• Specific energy consumption (SEC)
• Estimated electricity cost

This makes it easier to see which components have the greatest impact on overall system performance.

From total consumption to the main source of losses

The report starts with an overview of the complete ESP system, including the well, artificial lift method, well pad, and field.

A visual breakdown shows the distribution of total energy losses across the system. The report also highlights the component responsible for the largest share of losses, allowing engineers to focus their attention where it can have the greatest impact.

Key system indicators include total SEC, system power consumption, overall efficiency, and estimated annual electricity cost.

Engineering insights, not just data

The Key Findings section turns calculated results into actionable engineering recommendations.

Based on the selected equipment and calculated performance, the report can identify potential improvement opportunities for example, recommending a different motor type when an induction motor is selected and a permanent magnet motor may provide better efficiency.

This helps engineers move from reviewing numbers to understanding what those numbers may mean for the design.

Supporting better engineering decisions

By bringing energy consumption, losses, efficiency, and cost into a single report, the Energy Consumption Report provides a clearer view of ESP system performance.

Engineers can quickly identify the largest sources of energy loss, evaluate the impact of individual components, and use the findings to explore more efficient design options.

See where the energy goes. Understand where it is lost. Make better ESP design decisions.
