This project on 'Energy Auditing, Management and Efficiency at CWA Pumping Stations' was put forward in order to identify energy conservation opportunities aiming to have an optimised pumping system. It is divided into four distinct phases. Phase 1 included gathering of data for computing the production cost at borehole pumping stations and estimate the energy wastage from a desktop study. The aim of this report was :
To review the pump hydraulic characteristics and electrical ratings of all operational pumps and verify that they match the operational requirements.
To submit proposals for a better energy management strategy and derive maximum efficiency of all installed M&E equipment.
To design an optimal and highly efficient pumping system covering the whole island.
To seek causes and propose remedial actions for optimization of the energy cost per meter cube of water being pumped at all pumping sites
