Mixed pressure control system for a centrifugal pump

A novel pressure control system based on a centrifugal pump Simulink model is proposed aiming to reduce energy consumption during pump operation. The system developed provides the possibility of power reduction during pressure maintenance with the help of mixed pressure control strategy. To evaluate the system, a series of tests have been conducted that proved that the designed system is more beneficial from power consumption point of view than traditional pressure control methods. The system can be useful for pressure control optimization of centrifugal pumps.
