Features: The main feature of this book is to elaborate on the fundamental principles and optimization methods of pump station engineering planning and design from the perspectives of systems, economics, and energy conservation. The book proposes new concepts, technologies, and methods regarding the safety, economy, and energy efficiency of pump stations. It establishes the inherent interrelationships among various components of a pump station, such as pumps, power units, transmission devices, pipelines, and inlet and outlet pools. It also covers the calculation of pump station efficiency and energy consumption, comparative analysis of planning and design options, optimal selection of pumps, and the optimization of combined parameters for pump stations. Additionally, the book includes methods for calculating economic pipe diameters, the optimization design of inlet and outlet flow paths for large pump stations, and the prevention of water hammer. The book compiles extensive domestic and international data and case studies, summarizing advanced experiences from around the world. It serves as a reference for undergraduate and graduate students in related fields, as well as for professionals engaged in pump station engineering planning and design for water transfer projects such as the South-to-North Water Diversion in China, mechanical and electrical irrigation, water supply and drainage, industrial water supply, and environmental protection.
