  • Systems, methods, and machine readable programs for controlling a water utility system responsive to observed acoustic emission
    Patent number: 11947327
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for controlling one or more components of a water utility system, the water utility system comprising at least one pump assembly, the method comprising: receiving a user indication indicative of a user-perceived acoustic-noise induced discomfort experienced at least at a first location, measuring at least a first sound signal at said first location, determining, based on the measured first sound signal and based on at least one of a received user indication of a degree of the user-perceived acoustic-noise induced discomfort and a received first operational parameter of the pump assembly, the first operational parameter being representative of an operational condition of the pump assembly at the time of said measuring the first sound signal, one or more adjusted control parameters of the water utility system, and controlling the water utility system based on the determined adjusted control parameters.

  • METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A WATER UTILITY SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20210157292
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for controlling one or more components of a water utility system, the water utility system comprising at least one pump assembly, the method comprising: receiving a user indication indicative of a user-perceived acoustic-noise induced discomfort experienced at least at a first location, measuring at least a first sound signal at said first location, determining, based on the measured first sound signal and based on at least one of a received user indication of a degree of the user-perceived acoustic-noise induced discomfort and a received first operational parameter of the pump assembly, the first operational parameter being representative of an operational condition of the pump assembly at the time of said measuring the first sound signal, one or more adjusted control parameters of the water utility system, and controlling the water utility system based on the determined adjusted control parameters.
