PumpSim

Losing sleep over VSD investment uncertainty?
     then 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. For this reason ISC decided to develop PumpSim.

PumpSim is a PC-based simulation toolbox 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.

PROBE: Control Benchmarking Tool

ISC has released a control benchmarking prototype tool, PROBE, to the ACTC member companies for evaluation. Currently running on a Windows platform, PROBE provides a user with the capability of comparing the performance of control loops against a number of benchmarks including Minimum Variance (MV) using off-line loop data.

Please contact us if you would like to know more about the tool or to participate in the evaluation.
