Abstract
The essential requirements of pump scheduling to reduce energy costs are illustrated by reference to some related computer programs and activities. In each case there is a discussion of methodology and procedures, with applications taken from actual networks and systems. The readily available computer programs related to pump scheduling consist of:
GIPADS for evaluation of hydraulic and cost models of pumps.GINAS for calculation of pump energy costs under dynamic’ operations, with particular use for automated evaluation of optimal pump combinations, and validation of optimized pump schedules under real-time operations.
GIPOS/GIMPOS for evaluation of optimized pump schedules for some simple system structures.
GIPSOC for optimized pump scheduling and control of a specific multi-station, multi-reservoir system.
GIDAP for prediction of demand patterns to give advance knowledge of system loading. Finally an integrated application consisting of a real-time optimal pump scheduling scheme is described.
