Abstract

See full text

Method for automatically controlling a pumping station of a fluid circulation system with flowrate control valves, comprising the following control steps which are cyclically repeated: (b) driving said pumping station in accordance with a set curve belonging to a group of predefined driving curves; (c) monitoring over time the variation in flowrate of fluid circulating in the system at the pumping station, or a parameter related thereto; (d) if, during the monitoring step (c), the variation in flowrate exceeds or falls below a control threshold and if said condition is maintained for a stabilization time, (e) modifying the set driving curve, replacing it with another curve from the plurality of driving curves; and (f) reinitializing the monitoring step (c) from a new working point reached by the pumping station.
