The invention relates to a method for monitoring the operation of a pump station (1), wherein the pump station (1) comprises a tank (6) for temporary storage of a liquid, an inlet (7) for influent liquid, an outlet (8), and at least one pump (2) configured for transporting the liquid away from the tank (6) via said outlet (8). The method is characterized by the steps of, monitoring the inflow of liquid to the tank (6) during at least a part of a predetermined time period (T) and determining Inflow data (IN) that is representative for the inflow of liquid during the predetermined time period (T), determining Pump Station Max Capacity data (PSMC) that is representative for the max capacity of the pump station (1) during the predetermined time period (T), for the predetermined time period, determining a momentary Pump Station Capacity Utilization (PSCUM) based on the determined values of Inflow data (IN) and Pump Station Max Capacity data (PSMC), using the overall formula PSCUM (%) = 100 * IN / PSMC, and determining a typical Pump Station Capacity Utilization (PSCUT) for the pump station (1) based on at least one momentary Pump Station Capacity Utilization (PSCUM) value.

The present invention relates to a method for monitoring the operation of a pumping station (1), wherein the pumping station (1) includes: a storage tank (6) for temporarily storing liquid; an inlet (7) for liquid inflow; an outlet (8); and at least one pump (2) configured to deliver liquid out of the storage tank (6) through the outlet (8). The method is characterized by the following steps: monitoring the inflow of liquid into the storage tank (6) for at least a portion of a predetermined time period (T) and determining inflow data (IN) representing the amount of liquid flowing into the storage tank (6) of the pumping station (1) during the predetermined time period (T); determining pumping station maximum capacity data (PSMC) representing the maximum capacity of liquid pumped from the storage tank of the pumping station (1) during the predetermined time period (T); and, for the predetermined time period, using the general formula PSCU based on the determined values ​​of the inflow data (IN) and the pumping station maximum capacity data (PSMC). M (%) = 100 * IN / PSMC to determine the instantaneous pump station capacity utilization rate (PSCU) M ); and based on at least one instantaneous pump station capacity utilization rate (PSCU) M The value is used to determine the typical pump station capacity utilization rate (PSCU) of pump station (1). T The typical pump station capacity utilization rate (PSCU) T This indicates the capacity utilization rate of the pumping station over a period of time.
