PumpSim - Energy Efficiency Evaluation

Why lose sleep over VSD investment uncertainty when you can quantify the Energy Savings with PumpSim ?

The Water Industry has enormous potential for energy savings by replacing ‘on-off’ pump drive controls with VSD technology. Unfortunately, it is difficult to determine in advance whether a VSD investment will deliver the required return on investment.

PumpSim has been developed by ISC to facilitate the associated decision-making process. It is a (PC-based) MATLAB/Simulink add-on that gives clients an accurate forecast of energy savings. Developed with water industry professionals, it removes onerous mathematics from the user interface while enabling accurate representation of pumping station behaviour through application-specific parameter entry. Armed with the predicted energy savings, the client is better placed to decide whether a VSD investment is justified.

Bespoke Design/Development

ISC has in-house software expertise, which is used on the development of bespoke algorithms and tools for control or data processing to meet your company specific needs. Software can be developed in a variety of languages including C/C++, Matlab, LabView.

PROBE: Control Benchmarking Tool

ISC has a control benchmarking prototype tool, PROBE, for the Microsoft Windows platform. PROBE enables users to compare the performance of control loops against a number of benchmarks including Minimum Variance (MV) using off-line loop data.
