Abstract

A downhole pumping system is configured for producing fluids from a subterranean geologic formation. The downhole pumping system includes an electric motor driven by a motor drive located on the surface, a power cable connected between the motor drive and the electric motor, a pump driven by the electric motor, an auxiliary load, and a generator module driven by the electric motor and configured to provide power to the auxiliary load. The generator module includes an electrical generator and a load switch connected between the electrical generator and the auxiliary load. The load switch is configured to connect and disconnect power to the auxiliary load in response to a switch command signal transmitted by the motor drive. The generator module may also include a battery and charge controller, which can be configured to automatically charge the battery from the generator and provide the load switch with power from the battery.
