Abstract:
Engineers at Research Triangle Institute examined pump use and pumping policies at the Raleigh Falls Lake Pumping Station and, with the aid of a new computer program, suggested changes that resulted in significant cost savings. Models created an optimum schedule for pump operations and helped Raleigh to earn an award for energy conservation from the Energy Division of the North Carolina Department of Commerce.
