Abstract
The relevance of this study is due to the need to improve the efficiency of pumping stations from the point of view of the electric power industry in conditions of growing demand for water resources and stricter energy consumption requirements. The main purpose of the research was to develop and implement an effective automation system for controlling the electric power equipment of pumping stations, aimed at improving their reliability and stability. The methodology included the development of a mathematical model of pump workflows, modeling and testing solutions using MATLAB Simulink, as well as the implementation of SCADA- systems and frequency converters. The main research results showed a 10-15% reduction in energy consumption, a 20% increase in pump reliability, a 30% reduction in troubleshooting time, and a 12% increase in productivity. The practical value of the research lies in the possibility of applying the developed solutions to optimize the operation of pumping stations, which reduces operating costs and improves water resources management. The introduction of automated control systems will not only increase energy efficiency, but will also enhance operational reliability and reduce equipment downtime. This research opens up new prospects for the further development of electric power and automation technologies in the field of water supply, which is of great importance for sustainable water management.
