| Abstract |
Electricity costs typically represent a significant operational expense for water and sewage service providers. Therefore, energy conservation and rationalization practices have been pointed out as fundamental for the perennially of the business models of these service providers. Pumping is a central component of municipal water supply and wastewater conveyance systems, and it consumes significant amounts of energy. Recognize the critical link between water and energy was study aims initial. Further, to present a method for automated monitoring for electromechanical and hydroenergetic efficiencies of water lifting systems, aligned with the concepts of smart city. A significant number of pumps were tested and even though all pumps tested were located in a single jurisdiction (Natal, Brazil), the generalized results indicate that the average efficiency of the pumps tested is 19.3% lower efficiency than the manufacturer's original claims at the best efficiency point, while the average gap between the manufacturer's original best efficiency point and actual point of operation in the field was 22.7%. |
