Power Consumption With Elevated Storage Compared to Direct and Booster Pumping
The objective of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of simulating alternative pumping schemes in analysis and design by using a digital computer. Comparative power consumption is presented for direct and booster pumping using the same demand schedules, network head loss characteristics, and main pumping station features as for two systems with elevated equalizing storage previously studied. Operation was simulated by means of a computer, using a full year of hourly demands. The hourly demand data used were for 1963 from the Belmont high‐service district of the Philadelphia Water Department and the Champaign‐Urbana system of the Northern Illinois Water Corporation. Although the Philadelphia district, served by a single pumping station, has no elevated storage at present, and the Champaign‐Urbana system has two pumping stations located at treatment plants and three widely separated elevated storage sites, for demonstration purposes synthetic systems were used that had network head loss characteristics that could exist for these systems, with the source concentrated at one main pumping station and all elevated or booster storage concentrated at one particular site.
