Simulink based model for flow control of a centrifugal pumping system

Centrifugal pump systems are integral parts of water distribution systems, sewerage networks, oil and other industries. Simulation of flow control system for centrifugal pumps is proposed. Specific centrifugal pump model is developed to provide all necessary possibilities for simulation. The model consists of several main components: centrifugal pump, a fluid reservoir, pipeline, regulation valve, control system and measuring equipment. To analyze the developed model, a series of simulations were conducted. The simulation shows that the designed model is precise and easy to tune. The proposed model of the centrifugal pump can be used as a tool for validating different control modes for centrifugal pump systems.
