4. Conclusion
We demonstrate our ability to manage a set of pumps in order to reduce the associated total electricity bill. We observe that, in some cases, variable speed drives do not significantly reduce energy costs if pumping is efficiently scheduled.
Next stage is now to address more complex water distribution networks to validate the relevance of our tool.
