Abstract

A method for balancing a pump load of a plurality of pumping units during a pumping operation comprising determining a first balance pump load based on a set of weighted factors. The method determines a second balanced pump load after receiving an indication of reduced pumping performance from a first pumping unit. The method excludes the first pumping unit from the second balanced pump load while maintaining the flowrate of the first balanced pump load. The method determines a transition pump load to transition from the first pump load to the second pump load as the first pumping unit ramps down.
