  • Publication number: 20240329668
    Abstract: A control method, a control system, and a non-transient computer-readable storage medium are provided. The control method is applicable to a pumping station comprising one or more pumps. The method may include: comparing an inflow rate of the pumping station with a flow rate for optimal energy consumption of the pumping station; determining, based on whether the inflow rate of the pumping station is greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to, the flow rate for optimal energy consumption of the pumping station, a corresponding constraint that indicates whether a target outflow rate of the pumping station is to be greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to, the flow rate for optimal energy consumption of the pumping station; and setting a target outflow rate that meets the constraint, for constant flow rate control of the pumping station.

  • Patent number: 10571495
    Abstract: A system includes a plurality of power monitors that, in operation, monitor parameters of power in an automation system at points between loads and/or power sources. Each of the power monitors includes sensing circuitry to sense the power parameters, peer-to-peer communications circuitry to communicate with other power monitors via peer-to-peer communication, network communications circuitry to communicate with automation devices via a network, and functional circuits to perform analysis of monitored power parameters in a cooperative manner based upon the power parameters monitored by the respective power monitor and power parameters monitored by other power monitors communicated via peer-to-peer communication.
