How water utilities can use operating data to understand energy consumption.
Collect comparable data
Bring pump status, flow, pressure and electricity readings into one view. Check that timestamps and units are consistent before comparing periods.
Find questions worth investigating
Energy use may change with demand, pump combinations or equipment condition. Trends can show where operators should investigate, but a chart alone does not explain the cause.
Verify any improvement
Define a baseline, record changes made and compare equivalent operating conditions. Report only savings that the measurements support.
