EWave energy management system

Abstract

The EWave energy management system is a decision support system which gives support for an energy and cost efficient operation of water infrastructures. The primary objectives of water supply, which are security of supply and water quality, are extended to include also energy efficiency and automation aspects. The Dorsten-Holsterhausen pilot network provides optimal conditions for testing and evaluating the EWave system in the Rheinisch-Westfälische Wasserwerksgesellschaft mbH (RWW) distribution network. The conditions from the real pilot system to be met during operation and the potentials for improvement to be exploited are translated into various requirements for the development of the EWave system concerning architecture, data interfaces, computational modules and system models.
