Reducing energy consumption by energy management and energy audits in the pumping stations

The implementation of energy savings strategies has become a necessity and improving the performance of industrial facilities is no longer a prestige, it has now become mandatory for all industrial companies. This paper includes a critical analysis and energy management problems in a typical pumping station, which usually causes excessive energy consumption. Based on the results of energy auditing and energy performance of the most energy-consuming equipment an approach has been developed, which achieves optimal combination to answer such a water demand, while taking into account having optimal flow, minimum consumption and with maximum efficiency. The results showed that this pumping station consumed a monthly average electrical energy of 15 422MWh and having a potential to save 1 313MWh of energy, a 8.30% electrical energy saving potential. The benefits of implementing the energy efficiency measures related to electricity and water are substantial both in terms of energy savings and in terms of cost savings.
