开发了一个易于使用的计算机程序，该程序将帮助泵站操作员选择有效的泵组合和必要的运行时间，以满足系统要求。该程序允许操作员有两种选择:1）找到有效的泵组合，在用户指定的时间间隔结束时将油箱液位置于所需的高度；2）找到有效的泵组合，在该时间间隔期间满足所需的有效泵需求。该模型的结果以泵组合及其相关运行时间和成本的排序形式给出。由于输出是以组合排序的形式提供的，因此可以快速选择能够执行所需任务的可行组合。

An easy-to-use computer program has been developed which will assist pump station operators in selecting efficient pump combinations and necessary run times to meet a system requirement. The program allows operators two options: 1) finding efficient pump combinations which will place tank levels at desired elevations at the end of a user-specified time interval, and 2) finding efficient pump combinations which will meet a required pump demand in effect for the duration of the time interval. Results of the model are given as a rank ordering of pump combinations and their associated run times and costs. Because output is provided as a ranking of combinations, quick selection of a feasible combination capable of performing the required task is possible.
