由于抽水约占许多水务设施消耗能源的90%，因此应研究并实施最有效的抽水和蓄水方案。在本文中，通过分析和实施节能措施，介绍了弗吉尼亚州两个水务公司的案例，以举例说明抽水作业的管理。识别和分析泵优化的关键在于了解泵系统和系统内单个泵的现行费率结构和可靠的水力性能数据。 节能选项包括管理泵组合、改变操作概念、翻新泵和更换磨损部件。包括表格、数字。

Since pumping accounts for some 90 percent of the energy consumed by many water utilities, the most efficient available pumping and storage options should be studied and implemented. In this article, the case histories of two Virginia water utilities are presented to exemplify the management of pumping operations through analysis and implementation of energy conservation measures. Keys to the identification and analysis of pump optimization are through understanding of the prevailing electric rate structure and reliable hydraulic performance data for pumping systems and individual pumps within the system. Energy conservation options include managing pumping combinations, altering operating concepts, renovating pumps, and replacing worn components. Includes tables, figures.
