DESIGN, INSTALLATION AND EVALUATION OF A CONTROL SYSTEM UTILIZING A PRESSURE TRANSMITTER-BASED VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE (VFD) IN AN URBAN WATER PUMP FACILITY IN THE PHILIPPINES
Résumé
This study addresses the critical issue of energy consumption at the pump facility of a water service provider in Cagayan de Oro City, Northern Mindanao, Philippines. The existing constant-speed pumps which operated at constant speed led to energy inefficiency and increased equipment wear. The present study involves designing and installing a control system using pressure transmitter-based Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) to regulate pump motor speeds based on real-time demand. By integrating pressure transmitter-based VFDs, the control system dynamically adjusts motor speeds to match savings. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of the control system in significantly reducing energy consumption, improving equipment performance, and lowering operational costs. It highlights the potential of modern control technologies to optimize energy use in water pump facilities. Moreover, this endeavour serves as a model for improving energy efficiency and enhancing operational efficiency in water distribution systems, benefiting both the utility and the broader community.
