The use of variable frequency drives in pumping systems is used when the operating conditions present considerable variations in pressure and flow, such as in pumping irrigation systems with different operating points, due to the difference in the irrigation areas for each shift (different flow requirements) and/or the distances and topographic levels from the irrigation shift to the pumping station (different pressure requirements). These electronic devices have become relevant due to the energy savings they represent in the system, compared to the electrical consumption of the conventional use of control valves used in constant speed motors. In this context, the present work describes the development of a mathematical model and its implementation in the AGRIPUMP V1.0 web application, which allows, through the operating points of the system, to determine the motor speed to reduce power requirements and save energy. The mathematical model contemplates the laws of affinity that explain the relationship between the flow, pressure, power and speed of the pump, the model allowed the estimation of the optimal frequency (Hz) of each shift and the construction of the family of characteristic curves The accuracy of the predictions of the developed model was evaluated with the data acquired experimentally in a pump test bench, which has three centrifugal pumps with the same characteristics. The results show that the simulated performance curves present a prediction error close to the optimal value of each error metric developed, in addition, the comparison of energy consumption between the use of variators and control valves is presented. The mathematical model and the web application presented in this document are a reliable and practical tool to estimate the optimal motor operating frequency of a centrifugal pump in various arrangements (unitary, series and parallel), estimate the energy consumption and cost of the system.
