Abstract (2. Language):
In this paper a multistage electro pump including a 4
staged stainless steel centrifugal pump, a 4 kW three phase
induction motor and two control strategies including constant
speed and variable speed methods, is modeled and results are
compared with experimental data and Affinity results. The
multistage centrifugal pump provides 16 m
3
/hr flow rate and 58
mwater
head at BEP (Best Efficiency Point). The model is
dynamic and any variation in flow rate results in corresponding
variations of electro pump operational parameters. At constant
speed mode, the electro pump works at nominal speed
immediately after start, regardless to the system characteristics.
But, PID speed controller adjusts the rotational speed of the
electro pump to the optimized speed regarding to matching the
pump working point with the consumption point to save the
energy. The model is simulated utilizing MATLAB
SIMULINK software with ode45 solver and variable step size.
