It is a system for supplying power to at least one load. The system comprises at least one power source, load bank and control device coupled to the at least one load. The load bank is coupled to at least one power source and at least one load. The load bank comprises a controllable voltage source, at least three resistors coupled between an output side of the controllable voltage source and the at least one power source, and at least one storage element. The controllable voltage source comprises more than one switches. And the at least one storage element comprises one or more capacitors, batteries, or combinations thereof. The control device is configured for controlling the switches during a first condition such that, to the extent that an output power of the at least one power source exceeds a requisite power of the at least one load, any excess output power is either supplied to the at least one storage element or consumed by the at least three resistors. This invention also provides a method for supplying power to at least one load.

A power integrated system includes a gas storage unit, a gas driven generator, a power bus, a drilling rig, oil/gas production equipment, and a gas reformer. The gas storage unit is used for storing natural gas. The gas driven generator is used for generating electric power based on the stored natural gas. The power bus is used for receiving the electric power generated by the gas driven generator. The drilling rig is used for being driven by the electric power from the power bus. The oil/gas production equipment is used for being driven by the electric power from the power bus and for generating associated gas. The gas reformer is used for reforming the associated gas and supplying the reformed gas to the gas storage unit.
