Hi,
I am using Bentley WaterGEMS Connect Edition Update 3.
I have a hydraulic model consisting of 55 well pumps delivering water from wellfields to a discharge point, running in Steady-State.
I used Multiple Point pump curve and Multiple point efficiency curve as provided in the pump selection data sheet of each well pumpMy goal is to see the value of the efficiency for each pump in the pump table. Now it's showing N/A.
Also it shows N/A in the properties table of each pump.
The only way I could check the efficiency of each pump is if I right-click on it and then click "Pump Curve" but that would be time consuming for 55 pumps.
I need to directly see the values in the pump table according to where each pump is operating on its curve.
Below are some snapshots to better clarify what I mean.
Please Help, and thanks in advance for the support.
Hi Georgio, to fill these fields, you would need to run an Energy Cost analysis on the scenario. You can find this option in the Analysis tab under Analysis Tools. After filling in the required variables (energy cost, scenario to calculate etc.) and selecting run, it will calculate the efficiency of each running pump/pumping station/vsp battery and it's associated energy cost.

Thanks Joeri. Much appreciated!
Hello Georgio,
As specified by Joeri the pump efficiency results are related to the energy cost analysis function.. If you compute an energy cost analysis, the pump efficiency results will be available.
Here is detailed information on energy cost analysis, as a reference.
