An AI solution for any distribution network
The Grundfos Demand Driven Distribution -DDD- solution offers unique advantages in terms of efficiency & performance. While reliability is its strongest point, it also sets itself apart from other solutions through its ability to handle drops in pressure in the network and to maintain the ideal pressure in critical areas.
The DDD solution’s AI updates the information regarding pressure loss once a day, distributing the optimal pressure to the farthest points on the network. This solution is currently a market leader in water network management.
To optimize the pump performance curve, a few sensors are installed to specific areas of the network. Every day, the controller adapts the pump performance curve automatically to guarantee optimal pressure at the most critical points.
When the demand for water is low, the controller lowers the discharge pressure of the pumping station to save energy, reduce potential leaks and limit the wear & tear of the pipes.
