Energy Optimization of the Pumping Station

The main challenge in the field of water distribution systems (WDS) is (re)designing network order to achieve savings. In many systems, there are pumping stations designed for much larger flows than what would be observed under normal operating conditions. On other hand, reducing diameter pipes has become saving method. Designers very often forget design so that it can used fire protection purposes. computer modelling networks supports decision-making process by identifying optimal compromise between cost and performance (e.g., flow, velocity, pressure). Computer models help selection values hydraulic pumps, preparation pump control method energy-optimized ensuring efficiency pressure WDS during operation article presents results optimization station terms system, energy consumption. simulations supply measurements hydrant flow tests, model calibration were research.
