METHODS FOR OPTIMIZING THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF PUMPING UNITS AT THE KARAKUL VSP PUMPING STATION

Energy consumption in pumping stations represents a significant portion of operational costs in water management systems. This study focuses on the optimization of energy usage in pumping units at the KarakulVSP pumping station. The research evaluates technical, operational, and technological factors influencing energy efficiency and proposes modern optimization methods, including variable frequency drives (VFDs), hydraulic optimization, and intelligent control systems. Analytical and experimental approaches were used to assess performance improvements. Results indicate that implementing integrated optimization strategies can reduce energy consumption by 15–30% while maintaining system reliability. The findings contribute to sustainable water resource management and energy efficiency improvement in large-scale pumping systems.泵站能耗在水务管理系统的运营成本中占比可观。本研究针对卡拉库尔VSP（KarakulVSP）泵站的水泵机组能耗优化展开工作。该研究评估了影响能源效率的技术、运营与工艺要素，并提出了包含变频驱动器（Variable Frequency Drives, VFDs）、水力优化及智能控制系统在内的现代化优化方案。研究采用分析与实验结合的方法对性能提升效果进行评估。结果表明，实施集成优化策略可在保障系统可靠性的前提下，将能耗降低15%至30%。该研究成果可为大型泵站系统的可持续水资源管理与能效提升提供支撑。
