Why Energy Optimisation Matters?
Municipalities are under increasing pressure to deliver reliable water services while managing rising energy costs and aging infrastructure. Energy optimisation helps identify inefficiencies across pumping systems and provides practical recommendations to improve performance, reduce energy use, and support long-term sustainability goals
A comprehensive analysis of pump performance
An Energy Audit is a diagnostic tool developed by Grundfos specialists to identify excessive energy consumption. The service is based on specific pump performance measurements. It focuses on the amount of material the pump handles and on flow variations during a short and well-defined period.
During the audit, a Grundfos specialist measures countable values such as flow and energy consumption; analogue values such as pressure, temperature, and water levels; and incident rates such as pump start/stop, and valve open/close.
Based on these metrics, the audit assesses the overall efficiency of your pumps and proposes changes to improve efficiency. Final suggestions are based on calculations of potential savings, CO2 emission reductions and payback time on the up-front investment.
