  • Abstract
    This paper presents a kind of optimal control method for variable-speed pumping stations with similar parallel pumps, and gives the minimum total power consumption. The optimal control method is given for the fixed total flow. The optimal control method is to keep the same load for each pump. The conclusion can also be applied to the energy optimization of other general devices.
