Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for energy-optimal operation of an open pump system for liquid transport, with at least one speed-controllable pump unit that conveys the liquid from a container.
  • the invention relates to a method for the energy-optimized operation of a wastewater from a pump sump of a pumping station which conveys a speed-controllable pump unit.
  • Pump sumps form intermediate collectors into which the wastewater flows through one or more inlets.
  • the inlet or the inlets are sewers of the sewage disposal. Depending on the size of this pump sump, it can hold one or more pumps that pump the wastewater from the pump sump via a pressure line into a geodetically higher drain line.
  • This drain line can also be a sewer of the sewer network and lead, for example, to a next intermediate collector or to a sewage treatment plant.
  • the pump units in such wastewater pumping stations are nowadays predominantly operated unregulated or by means of two-point control, in which the pump is only switched on and off cyclically or as required.
  • the activation and deactivation takes place depending on the level in the pump sump, for example controlled by a float. Frequent on-off changes, however, lead to increased wear on the pump units and to increased energy consumption.
  • pump stations are also known whose pump units have frequency converters for speed control, so that the pump can be regulated as required.
  • Such a wastewater pumping station is, for example, from the German patent application DE 10 2013 007 026.0 known.
  • the US application US 2013/0164146 A1 describes a method for the energy-optimal operation of a wastewater from a pumping sump of a pumping station that supports and regulates the speed, in which a system identification is first carried out during operation of the system and then an energy optimization phase.
  • the energy optimization is always based on the current system status.
  • the energy optimization is carried out by calculating an energy efficiency optimization characteristic in which a volume flow-specific energy consumption is determined.
  • the WO 2005/088134 A1 describes a method for regulating a pumping station, in which the speed of the pump is chosen in terms of energy optimally with regard to the level in the pump sump. However, this only applies to the current time. With regard to a future course of operations, the in WO 2005/088134 A1 operating mode shown is not energetically optimal.
  • a method for the energy-optimal operation of an open pump system for liquid transport is proposed, with at least one speed-controllable pump unit, which conveys the liquid from a container, whereby, depending on at least one system characteristic curve specified by the manufacturer, by evaluating a mathematical function, the flow rate to be conveyed requires the flow rate to be conveyed assigns volume flow-specific energy consumption of the pump unit, the speed is calculated at which the volume flow-specific energy consumption is minimal, and the pump unit is operated with this calculated speed as the optimal speed.
  • the pump unit is therefore always operated at the speed that leads to minimal energy consumption, at least insofar as there is no unusual operating situation that requires a different operating setting.
  • the method is applicable to all open pump systems, i.e. pump systems that do not pump in a closed circuit.
  • the method according to the invention is suitable for the operation of a wastewater from a pump sump of a pumping station which conveys and regulates the speed of the pump.
  • Another application is, for example, the operation of a borehole pump that pumps groundwater from a borehole.
  • the container for the liquid can be any open or closed, natural or artificial site holding the liquid, in particular a pump sump, a borehole, a well, a basin, a tank, a cistern, a reservoir, a lake, or a collector.
  • FIG. 1 shows a wastewater pumping station 1 comprising a pump sump 3 with an inlet 4 and an outlet 5 and a pump unit 2 arranged in this pump sump 3, which is driven by an electric motor and its speed can be regulated.
  • the pump unit 2 consists of a pump unit 2a and an electric motor 2b driving it. It pumps the wastewater located in the pump sump 3 into the geodetically higher outlet 5 via a pressure line 6. From there, the wastewater flows on to a next pumping station, a receiving waterway or directly to a water treatment system.
  • a volume flow sensor can be arranged in the inlet 4 and measures the amount of water flowing in via the inlet 4 into the pump sump 3 per unit of time over a progressing period of time. However, it is also possible to calculate the inflow values from the level changes and the delivery flow Q of the pump unit 2. In this case, the volume flow sensor is not required.
  • a volume flow sensor 9 is provided on the pressure side of the pump assembly 2 in order to measure the flow rate Q of the pump assembly 2.
  • the volume flow sensor 9 can alternatively also be arranged at another location, in particular in the pressure line 6 or the outlet 5. It is also possible to calculate the flow rate values. In this case, the volume flow sensor 9 is also not required.
  • a current level h is represented by line 7.
  • the speed control of the pump unit 2 is carried out by pump electronics in the form of an evaluation and control unit 8, which is connected via a control line to the pump unit 2, in particular its electric motor 2b, and as here preferably also via corresponding measuring lines to the volume flow sensor 9 and / or the Level sensor 11 can be connected.
  • the pump electronics 8 contrary to the representation in Figure 1 can also be formed by an evaluation unit on the one hand and a structurally separate control unit on the other. These units can also be spatially separated from one another.
  • the pump electronics 8 have arithmetic electronics to carry out numerical calculations, and preferably also measurement electronics to process measured values.
  • the speed control of the pump assembly 2 is carried out in a manner known per se by controlling a frequency converter which supplies the electric motor 2b with a voltage of a suitable level and frequency required to achieve a desired speed.
  • the frequency converter can be structurally arranged directly on the electric motor 2b or can also be part of the removed evaluation and control unit 8, or a further separate power electronics outside the pump sump 3.
  • the method according to the invention is based on the basic idea that a pump unit requires an energy ⁇ E in order to deliver a certain volume ⁇ V out of the pump sump 3. From this knowledge, a volume flow-specific energy consumption P Q (Q) can be determined, which describes the ratio of the power P ( Q ) consumed to the flow rate Q.

  • the combination from system and pump unit 2 is expressed by blocks 30, 32, 34 and 36, which provide the mathematical relationship to determine the volume flow-specific energy P Q ( Q ) for a specific flow.
  • the search for the minimum of the volume flow-specific energy P Q ( Q ) can be carried out using any mathematical method according to the prior art.
  • Q is varied, that is to say the specific energy P Q ( Q ) for a large number of different flow rates Q i is calculated between a minimum and a maximum flow rate, and the minimum P Q, min is then sought from the results obtained, the flow rate being then that , which has led to this minimum, is the optimal flow rate Q opt .
  • the speed n (Q opt , h) is calculated that is required for the pump unit 2 to deliver the optimal flow rate, step 24.
  • This optimal speed n (Q opt , h) is then at the pump unit 2 set, step 26, or the pump unit 2 is operated as far as possible at this energy-efficient speed n (Q opt , h).
  • exception conditions can be checked in step 28, which can lead to the result that a speed other than the calculated optimal speed n (Q opt , h) makes sense for the current system state.
  • an exceptional condition is that the inflow exceeds the flow or a certain maximum level or upper level limit value h o is reached in the pump sump 3. This can then be a trigger for the fact that instead of the optimal speed n (Q opt , h) the maximum speed of the pump unit 2 is set in order to prevent overflow.
  • one or more conditions are consequently checked in order to identify certain situations and / or operating states which may make a speed different from the optimal speed n (Q opt , h) necessary. However, this test is not necessary to carry out the invention.

The same is necessary in order to determine what speed n the pump unit 2 needs to deliver a specific flow rate Q. This means that the entire pump map and power consumption map of the pump unit must be known. As already stated, the pump manufacturer can carry out a complete measurement and specification of the respective map as measured values or as polynomials.

However, this presupposes that the function describing the volume flow-specific energy consumption is not dependent on the flow rate Q. Derivation of a corresponding The calculation rule is given below. Only those aspects of the second variant of the method that differ from the first variant are explained. Otherwise, the above explanations for the first variant also apply to the second variant.
