I. INTRODUCTION HE example oil company's Beaver Creek Facility con-T sists of producing fields and a gas processing plant, located in central Wyoming near the town of Riverton. Electrical power for the plant and field is provided by a small electric cooperative which serves and meters the facility at 69 KV. In addition, gas powered turbines provide cogenerated power. Power is distributed to the plant and field loads via the user owned 69 Kv/25 Kv substation. The combined plant and field load is in the range of 6.0-7.0 MVA. The field produces oil and gas condensate from several formations which require artificial lift. Initially, all wells were produced using beam pumps. In the mid-l970's, several wells were retrofitted with electrical submersible pumps (ESP's), driven by variable speed drives (VSD's). The VSD's utilized six-pulse input inverters, the then-state-of-the-art design. The total VSD load was 5400 KVA within a total operating load of 7.1 MVA-for approximately 76% of the total facility load. The one-line diagram for the power company system and the Beaver Creek substation and facility is shown in Fig. 1. The use of the six-pulse variable speed drives coupled with the addition of power factor correction capacitors created a situation iq which harmonic distortion levels on the local utility's system exceeded recommended limits. This prompted the installation of 5th and 7th harmonic filters at the Beaver Creek substation. This paper outlines the process involved in identifying, analyzing, and eliminating a problem involving harmonic distortion, variable speed drives, and the presence of power factor correction capacitor banks. The paper also discusses IEEE Standard 519 and some implications of the interpretation and use of this guideline.
