Model based control and diagnostic system for centrifugal pumps

Centrifugal pumps are widely used in industrial applications. Today pumps absorb nearly a quarter of the electric energy of the European industry. The purpose of this paper is to present a centrifugal pump model-based control system that ensures the energy benefits related to variable speed drive technique and provides the complete protection monitoring and machine diagnostic using a minimum number of installed sensors.
