Abstract

In this work, the optimal regulation of variable speed pump (VSP) was solved by means of two optimization algorithms: a mixed-integer optimizer based on the BONMIN (Basic Open-Source Nonlinear Mixed Integer Programming) package, and an original hybrid genetic algorithm (GA) called GA–Powell’s direction set method (PDSM), which employs a derivative free inner optimizer, that is, the Powell’s direction set method (PDSM). The obtained results show how the use of a strategy based on the optimal regulation of VSP allows to obtain huge energy cost savings. The analysis of the results shows that the regulation of the plant does not apparently follow a general rule.
