VSD SAVINGS CALCULATOR FOR PUMPS
References and Equations

![]() |
For the energy savings analysis, this tool used power curves developed from data obtained by measuring the operating characteristics of various fans and from information provided in "Flow Control", a Westinghouse publication, Bulliten B-851, F/86/Rev-CMS 8121. The curves are representative, not precise. Final economic analysis should be based on actual power (kW) measurements of the pumping system. |
Constants:
Conversion Constant (kW/hp) = 0.746
Polynomial Coefficients A1, A2, A3 and A4:

Equations:
Power at Design CFM = Nameplate Horsepower × Conversion Constant (kW/hp) × Motor Load at Design GPM / Nameplate Efficiency
Computed for each capacity level:
Percent of Design kW = A1 + (A2 × Capacity) + (A3 × (Capacity2)) + (A4 × (Capacity3))
Percent of Design kW for VSD = A1 + (A2 × Capacity) + (A3 × (Capacity2)) + (A4 × (Capacity3))
Percent of Design kW = A1 + (A2 × Capacity) + (A3 × (Capacity2)) + (A4 × (Capacity3))
Percent of Design kW for VSD = A1 + (A2 × Capacity) + (A3 × (Capacity2)) + (A4 × (Capacity3))
Current Power (kW) = Percent of Design kW × (Power at Design CFM / 100)
VSD Power (kW) = Percent of Design kW for VSD × (Power at Design CFM / 100)
VSD Power (kW) = Percent of Design kW for VSD × (Power at Design CFM / 100)
Current Energy (kWh) = Current Power (kW) × (Percent of time at this Capacity / 100) × Operating Hours
VSD Energy (kWh) = VSD Power (kW) × (Percent of time at this Capacity / 100) × Operating Hours
VSD Energy (kWh) = VSD Power (kW) × (Percent of time at this Capacity / 100) × Operating Hours
Current Annual Energy Use = sum of all Current Energy (kWh)
VSD Annual Energy Use = sum of all VSD Energy (kWh)
Annual Energy Savings = Current Annual Energy Use – VSD Annual Energy Use
Annual Cost Savings = Annual Energy Savings × Cost of Electricity
VSD Annual Energy Use = sum of all VSD Energy (kWh)
Annual Energy Savings = Current Annual Energy Use – VSD Annual Energy Use
Annual Cost Savings = Annual Energy Savings × Cost of Electricity
