Optimizing pumping & energy
Just a heads-up—this section is still a work in progress! I’ll be revising and expanding it soon to make sure it’s as useful as possible. Curious about what’s already done or currently in the works? Check the changelog for updates.
For most water utilities, the energy consumed by pumps represents one of Cthe largest operational expenses. Therefore, any strategy that can make pumping operations more efficient can lead to significant cost savings and a reduced environmental footprint.
This section explores how your hydraulic model can be a powerful ally in developing and refining pump operating strategies to meet your system's demands in the most energy-efficient manner possible. We'll look at how you can use your model to evaluate the performance of different pump combinations at your pump stations — is it more efficient to run two smaller pumps or one larger one under certain conditions?
