Abstract

This project proposes the development of a system for monitoring and analyzing the equipment for water utilities. Around 80 to 90% of the energy spent by water utilities involves pumping water. The system will be responsible for measuring the electrical energy consumption of different types of equipment together with the measurement of the energy efficiency of the pump through the thermodynamic method, thus enabling the generation of KPI for each equipment and allowing the optimization of the use of these equipment's.
