Abstract
It is well known that the use of variable speed pumps for operating pressurized water distribution systems provides many potential benefits. In this paper, several models for investigating the performance of water distribution systems with variable speed pumps are presented. The models were developed to determine the optimum speeds for operating VFD (variable frequency drive) pumps to meet stated objectives.
