Abstract

Restricted water and energy resources of the planet, as well as an increasing demand for water and energy owing to population growth and an ever-increasing development of human societies, require an optimal utilisation of such resources. This study was conducted to investigate the consumption, dissipation and efficiency of energy in electric and diesel fuel pumping stations in the fields of Hamedan city, located in the west of Iran. The Nebraska pumping plant performance criteria were used to compare the performance of irrigation pumping stations. The input power, output power and total energy efficiency were calculated for the pumping stations. The results revealed that the total efficiency ranged between 3.2 and 24.4% in the diesel pumping stations and from 15.7 to 100% in the electric pumping stations. The mean of total efficiency and mean wasted energy in the diesel pumping stations were 14.1% and 51.8 kWh/h, respectively. The mean total efficiency and wasted energy in the electric pumping stations were 58.3% and 9.0 kWh/h, respectively. Factors such as pump and engine selection proportionate to the system's capacity and pressure, proper upkeep and maintenance of pumps and engines, and implementation of an optimum, rigid foundation could improve energy efficiency.

电力和柴油泵站的效率和能耗研究

地球上有限的水和能源资源，以及由于人口增长和人类社会日益发展而对水和能源的需求日益增加，都要求最佳地利用这些资源。本研究旨在调查位于伊朗西部哈马丹市的电力和柴油泵站的能源消耗、耗散和效率。内布拉斯加州泵站性能标准用于比较灌溉泵站的性能。计算了泵站的输入功率、输出功率和总能源效率。结果表明，柴油泵站的总效率在3.2 ~ 24.4%之间，电动泵站的总效率在15.7% ~ 100%之间。柴油泵站的总效率平均值为14.1%，浪费能量平均值为51.8 kWh/h。电动泵站的平均总效率和浪费能量分别为58.3%和9.0 kWh/h。泵和发动机的选择与系统的容量和压力成比例，泵和发动机的适当保养和维护，以及实施最佳的刚性基础等因素可以提高能源效率。
