    Abstract: A method and controller for operating pumps wherein each pump is modelled by a QH model indicating a high-efficiency region, a high-H region and a high-Q region and a rotational speed limit. A controller dynamically maintains a current set of operating pumps and controls their rotational speed (n). In steady-state operation, wherein the pumps operate in the high-efficiency region and below the rotational speed limit, all pumps of the current set are controlled together. If the pumps operate in the high-Q region or beyond the speed limit, a new pump is added to the current set, started and brought to a speed that produces flow. A balancing operation (12-3) follows the pump addition operation, wherein the speed of the pumps of the current set are adjusted for equal heads. If the pumps operate in the high-H region, a pump is removed from the current set of pumps.

    Abstract: A method is provided for detecting the correct rotational direction of a centrifugal apparatus. The method includes rotating the centrifugal apparatus in a first direction, acquiring first frequency data relating to the step of rotating the centrifugal apparatus in the first direction, rotating the centrifugal apparatus in a second direction, which is opposite to the first direction, and acquiring second frequency data relating to the step of rotating the centrifugal apparatus in the second direction. The method also includes detecting the correct rotational direction of the centrifugal apparatus based on comparing the first frequency data with the second frequency data, the comparison being carried out with respect to at least one significant frequency range. In each of the at least one significant frequency range, a smaller magnitude is interpreted as an indication of the correct rotational direction.

    Abstract: An electrical system and method include a DC link, a controlled rectifier connected between the DC link and a power source, an energy storage, a DC to DC converter connected between the DC link and the energy storage, a motor, and a DC to AC converter connected between the DC link and the motor. The converters are configured to transfer power in both directions. The rectifier controls the DC voltage of the DC link when the DC link voltage is in a first voltage range. The DC to DC converter controls the DC voltage of the DC link by charging the energy storage when the DC link voltage is in a second voltage range, which has higher voltage values than the first voltage range, or by discharging the energy storage when the DC link voltage is in a third voltage range, which has lower voltages than the first voltage range.
