Power Sentry, by Raptor Lift Solutions based in Houston (USA), through focused research and development provides supercapacitor-based power management solutions to the global oil industry. Power Sentry products significantly increase electrical power savings via advanced AC VFD management on pump jacks and rod lift systems. In addition, they result in operational savings on ESP VFDs via DC bus voltage management which, during power interruptions, prevents VFD tripping and subsequent loss of production.


Harmonic Solutions Oil & Gas (HSOG), a division of Sentinel Power Quality FZE, are the exclusive representatives in the in countries shown in the map below and offer full sales and technical support of the Power Sentry products :

The inclusion of Power Sentry to the existing products and services is significant step as HSOG can now offer a complete range of the mitigation products, continuous PQ monitoring and advanced site PQ services to oilfield clients.

OSS (On-Site-Storage)

Power Sentry’s OSS system utilises capacitor based on-site storage technology to capture and reuse the regenerative energy of artificial lift systems to reduce the kWh usage and peak demand.  The power generation requirements from utilities can be subsequently be reduced by up to 20% at the well site through the operation of OSS.

Power Sentry OSS systems carrying out power management

OSS systems capture the regenerative energy created and unused during pump strokes, temporarily stores it as DC power in the OSS and recycles the energy back through the VFD to the pump motor.

1.With OSS there is less than 5% powerline losses compared to typical line loss of 75% to 95% for AC regenerative or chopper systems.

2.OSS does not require additional loads on the same grid to reuse the harnessed energy.

ERT (Electrical-Ride-Through)

Power Sentry has also developed a solution that provides supplementary power to variable frequency drives (“VFDs”) during power disturbances and  short-term interruptions; sags, brown outs, reclosure events etc. Their patented Electrical Ride-Through (ERT) technology allows ESPs, drilling equipment and other oil-based operations to avoid the negative impact of power fluctuations on systems utilising VFDs.

The Power Sentry ERT system is an industry leader when weighed against the competition. Their systems’ superior performance will maintain a VFD’s operation where other competitors fail.
