| Abstract: | This paper presents an optimization framework based on dynamic programming mathematic tool suitable to be implemented in programmable logic controllers to improve the automated control of parallel pumping loops aiming at energy conservation. The paper also contributes with simple methods to derive system curve and pumping head-flow speed-dependent characteristic from ordinary field measurements. |
