Abstract

Energy efficiency is an important issue in the water pumping system. There are several ways to reduce energy costs in pumping applications. This report proposes a strategy to improve water pumping system performance by analyzing the pumping system curve and the performance of induction motor regarding of pumping system. The main advantage of the strategy is the capability of the simulated model to compute the overall pumping performance and estimate the saving on the electrical consumption. The first, and probably most important, is the application design. Welldesigned systems are usually providing better performance in achieving the requirement. Secondly, motor efficiency can also have a significant impact and could reduce the energy consumption for a required water demand. Both combination of application design and motor efficiency could significantly increase the performance and reduce electrical consumption. To test the effectiveness of the proposed strategy, a numerical software simulator is set-up to emulate the actual existing pumping parameters and conditions, namely designed water demand, piping system and pump curve. The system curve and pump curve help to determine the best operating point and the best efficiency of the water pumping system. The finding of this study will help Syarikat Air Melaka Berhad (SAMB) to improve the pumping performance and hence reduces the energy lose.
