All ACCELERATE virtual sessions are offered complimentary to all attendees.

This five-part webinar series provides water industry professionals innovative ideas for operating distribution systems at lower cost while maintaining or improving service quality. Experience the power of ACCELERATE working through a typical water distribution hydraulic modeling workflow: building the model; calibrating it for real-world conditions; and applying it to develop more efficient pump operations, prioritize capital improvements, plan operations and maintenance activities, and respond to emergencies.

Session 3
Understand Pump Performance and Reduce Energy Costs using Hydraulic Models
June 17, 2020 | 11:00am EDT
Presenter: Dr. Tom Walski, Bentley Fellow

A calibrated hydraulic model is an effective tool for evaluating pump suitability, identifying pump inefficiencies, evaluating alternate control schemes, and considering the impact of complex energy pricing structures. With OpenFlows WaterGEMS, you can:

  • Identify if a pump is performing according to its curves
  • Ensure that a pump is a proper match with the system
  • Decide whether to replace a pump
  • Determine if a constant speed or variable speed pump is correct
  • Calculate and understand energy costs
