Purpose:
The developed technology is designed to reduce energy consumption during the operation of pumping units of the drainage system.
Area:
The development can be implemented at mining enterprises and any other industry where parallel operation of pumping units is used.
Advantages:
For the first time, an energy-efficient automated drainage control system has been developed. The proposed development makes it possible to save energy due to: monitoring the actual technical condition of each pumping unit to form a list of service priorities, choosing a combination of pumping units to minimize specific energy consumption, using a pumping unit switching schedule to ensure the minimum funds required for the operation of the drainage system.
Description:
The development is aimed at minimizing costs during the operation of the drainage system due to the optimal combination of pumping units and the organization of the pump start-up schedule. The result is achieved due to the optimal combination of pumping units with different characteristics for parallel operation on a common collector and automatic peak switching with optimization of electrical energy consumption. This leads to an increase in the net cost of 1 m3 of pumped water. The software of the automated control system allows continuous monitoring of the technical condition of the units, increasing the service life and the resulting efficiency of drainage systems.
