This paper discusses a way to optimize the speed settings for a multi-pump system such that it can operate with highest efficiency. A short description of an actual multi-pump system is given and the mathematical formulas for single pump and multi-pump systems are presented. Then a set of objectives are formulated which, when used in a MATLAB toolbox implementation of NSGA-II, describe the most efficient distribution of speeds amongst the pumps in the system. The system is tested for a number of pressure references with good results.
