William Livoti of WEB recommended that power plants assess their pump requirements and consider variable speed drives to reduce energy consumption. He cited the advantages when handling off peak loads. A specific example was given for the VFD saving with cooling water makeup pumps. The number of pumps and potential savings is substantial.

Purpose of Minimum Flow by Randal Ferman, EKWESTREL - Hot Topic Hour September 11, 2014
Randal Ferman of EKWESTREL discussed the purpose of identifying “minimum flow:” 1) The lowest continuous flow the pump is permitted to operate, 2) Without reference to a specific vibration limit or other criteria, 3) The ‘default’ pump manufacturer’s recommendation. The main purposes of minimum flow are to establish permissible vibration and impeller cavitation erosion life.

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.
