Abstract
A control method, a control system, and a non-transient computer-readable storage medium are provided. The control method is applicable to a pumping station comprising one or more pumps. The method may include: comparing an inflow rate of the pumping station with a flow rate for optimal energy consumption of the pumping station; determining, based on whether the inflow rate of the pumping station is greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to, the flow rate for optimal energy consumption of the pumping station, a corresponding constraint that indicates whether a target outflow rate of the pumping station is to be greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to, the flow rate for optimal energy consumption of the pumping station; and setting a target outflow rate that meets the constraint, for constant flow rate control of the pumping station.
