VFDs can make a big difference in optimizing pump energy consumption in cooling tower makeup
William Livoti writing in “Empowering Pumps" discusses some of the potential regulations which will force recycling of cooling water. He says that power plants need to assess their pump requirements and consider variable speed drives to reduce energy consumption. He cites the advantages when handling off peak loads. A specific example is given for the VFD saving with cooling water makeup pumps

Power Plant Pumps Webinar - Hot Topic Hour September 11, 2014
For power plant pumps, discussion was the ability of variable speed drives to potentially save power companies billions of dollars. There is evidence that power plants can use this technology and avoid installing cooling towers to meet the 316(b) water intake rules.
