Introduction
 Throughout the water industry many methodologies have been
adopted to enable significant energy cost reduction incurred by
Water Pumping Station (WPS)

 Refurbishing worn equipment.

 Using highly efficient motors.
 Employing the most efficient pumps.
 Ensuring water is pumped through the smallest hydraulic
head.

 Using internet technologies, power, flow and pressure produced

by individual pumps can be monitored over the Internet, allowing
pump operators to remotely select efficient pump combinations.
Objective
Provide a cost effective method of pump asset
operation and performance monitoring over the
Internet

To provide hydraulic engineers with secure real-time

pump characteristics.

Monitor characteristics of individual pumps every

fifteen-minutes over the internet.
Structure
The Basis of Pump Performance
Modeling Over the Internet four key
areas:
Water Supply System.
Pump Modeling.
Web Technologies.
High-Lift Pump - Motors
High-Lift Pump - Valves
 Pump Modeling
Q - H Curves
 Q - P Curves
 Q -  Curves
Java Server Pages (JSP)
 JSP is a web scripting technology similar to Microsoft
Active Server Pages (ASP) and Netscape Server Side
Java Script (SSJS)

 JSP is a presentation / representation layer enabling

users to mix static HTML content with server side
scripting to produce a dynamic output.

 JDBC allows the user to interact with the remote

database, which is isolated on the server side, through
SQL statements.
Request Table Data
Results
The results illustrate that the web server can remotely
accessed pump characteristics to either log, view or
delete pump data.

Operating pumps at their maximum efficiency,

potential energy cost reductions are achievable.

The stored data may be used in the development of a

sophisticated scheduling scheme or to provide
historical information for water demand prediction.
Summary

A cost effective method of pump asset operation

and performance monitoring over the Internet.

The combined web methodologies of Java, JSP and

SQL technologies provide an efficient and accurate
process of secure remote logging of pump data.
