Abstract

A method implemented by at least one processor includes receiving a pressure profile to be generated by a pumping system, wherein the pumping system includes at least one pump-unit powered by at least one generator-unit. The method also includes receiving a pump-unit parameter from at least one pump-unit and a generator-unit parameter from at least one generator unit. The pump-unit parameter is representative of an operating parameter of the pump-unit. The generator-unit parameter is representative of an operating parameter of the at least one generator-unit. The method includes generating an operating set-point corresponding to the at least one generator-unit based on the pump-unit parameter and the generator-unit parameter, wherein the operating set-point is one of at least one operating set-point corresponding to the at least one generator-unit. The method also includes determining an input parameter for the at least one generator-unit based on the at least one operating set-point.
