Pump Model
Mainly there are two mode of operation for these pumps:
Constant flow pump
Variable flow pump with a variable speed drive
To model a variable pump power following relationship is used:
𝑃𝑝𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 = 𝑃𝑀𝑃(𝐶1 + 𝑃𝐿𝑅(𝐶2 ) + 𝑃𝐿𝑅(𝐶3 )2 +𝑃𝐿𝑅(𝐶4 )3 )
Where,
PMP = pump motor power at rated condition, kW
C1, C2, C3 and C4 are pump performance coefficients
