INVESTIGATION OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM WHEN POWERED BY AN ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCE

Abstract

The nature of the efficiency change in pump systems powered by an alternative source of electricity in conditions of a given pressure stabilization is investigated. An electromechanical water supply system powered by an alternative energy source using a static compensator (STATCOM) is considered. The observer of energy efficiency of the pump installation based on theory of artificial neural networks, which training occurs on the basis of static characteristics of the unit, is constructed. The results and analysis of investigations of the efficiency level changes during a typical daily cycle of water consumption are shown. References 12, figure 5.
