| description | In the industrial world, parallel pump systems are frequently employed. Due to various reasons, the pumps are frequently operated outside their intended parameters, which reduces their efficiency and performance. To operate the pump system with optimum efficiency, the pumps and their speed selection are mandatory. This research presents an optimum switching technique for variable speed pumping stations with multi-parallel pump combinations to enhance energy savings. The proposed optimal control system is designed in such a way as to decrease overall losses in the pump system. The effectiveness of the proposed method is investigated on a real scale of a multi-parallel pump drive system in a Matlab Simulink environment, and experimental validation is performed in a laboratory prototype. The suggested approach enhances power savings and shall be adapted for various pumping applications. |
