Region of Durham Uses InfoWater Scheduler Extension to Reduce Energy Costs
An eight-month study by the Region of Durham, Ontario, Canada, has confirmed the cost advantages of optimizing pump schedules using the Scheduler extension of InfoWater.
Energy costs represent a significant portion of any utility’s total operation and maintenance budget. The Region of Durham, Ontario, Canada is no exception, with 14% of the cost for operating transmission mains and 29% for treatment plants devoted to electricity bills. To help reduce these costs, the Region utilizes MWH Soft’s InfoWater software for hydraulic modeling and management. In conjunction with modeling, the Region also uses Scheduler to optimize pump scheduling and operational controls for more efficient operations.
