The invention discloses a variable-water-volume operation regulating method for an open multi-water-pump transmission and
distribution system. The operation regulating method comprises the following steps: fitting the single-water-pump equipment performance constants, so as to obtain the single-water-
pump head as well as the relation between the single-water-pump efficiency and the flow rate variation; according to a pipeline resistance expression, calculating the pipeline network impedance; drawing a single-water-pump characteristic curve, a single-water-pump efficiency curve, a multi-water-pump parallel characteristic curve, as well as a transmission and
distribution system pipeline network characteristic curve; according to the determined flow rate of the transmission and
distribution system, acquiring different corresponding non-designed operating points and calculating the quantity of
applied water pumps by adopting a valve throttling control method and a water pump variable-speed control method respectively; calculating the water pump efficiency of the different operating points, so as to obtain the
energy consumption values of the transmission and distribution
system; and comparing the
energy consumption values based on the different control methods, and selecting the control method with the minimum
energy consumption as the operation regulating method. By adoption of the operation regulating method, the energy consumption of the transmission and distribution
system is effectively lowered, the operation expense is reduced, the equipment service life is prolonged, the energy-saving and economical effects are remarkable, and the application prospect is very good.
