Abstract
Apparatus is provided featuring a signal processor or processing module configured at least to: receive signaling containing information about system energy consumption related to multiple pump combinations running in a multiple pump system; and determine whether to stage or de-stage a pump in the multiple pump system, based at least partly on the signaling received. The signal processor or processing module is configured to provide corresponding signaling containing information about whether to stage or de-stage the pump in the multiple pump system, and to implement control logic or a control logic algorithm based at least partly on the system energy consumption taking the form of specific energy that is a measure of energy used per unit mass for the multiple pump combinations running in the multiple pump system.
