Abstract: The speed of a pump may be controlled to reduce cavitation and to reduce flow and pressure fluctuation in the pumped fluid. A system for pumping a fluid may comprise a pump, a primary mover coupled to the pump, and a controller coupled to the primary mover wherein the controller is programmed to control the primary mover so as to optimize a characteristic of the system. Pumping a fluid may comprise providing a pumping apparatus that comprises a pump, a primary mover which actuates the pump, and a controller which sends commands to the primary mover. One or more characteristics of the pumping apparatus may be utilized to modify the speed of the pump.
