PUMP GROUP AUTOMATIC CONTROL FOR REDUCING ITS ENERGY CONSUMPTION by G. N. Zdor, A. V. Sinitsyn, O. A. Avrutin

“…It was shown that the timely shutdown of an inefficiently controlled pump unit can reduce the power consumption of the pumping plant by 8–10 % as compared to the traditional control methods. The range of variation of the instantaneous efficiency of the pumping station can serve as a criterion of correct selection of pumping equipment as well it can be the rationale of the necessity for its replacement.…”
