Upcoming Energy Webinars, Presented by SCE and PG&E

SCE & PG&E are presenting two energy webinars in July. The webinar dates and times are listed below. One of the webinars will focus on Pumps; Energy & Water Efficiency, while the other will focus on Variable Frequency Drives for Agricultural Pumping. The presentations include SCE Hydraulic Services and PG&E Advanced Pumping Efficiency Program. There is no cost to participate in these two opportunities. For more information and registration please see the links below.

 

Pumps; Energy and Water Efficiency (WEBINAR)

July 23, 2020 / 9am – 11am

More information & registration here

Course Description:

The Pumps, Energy and Water Efficiency workshop will begin with SCE Hydraulic Services and PG&E’s Advanced Pumping Efficiency Program descriptions and eligibility. We will then move to a basic discussion about how pumps work, efficiency, operating conditions, pump curves and general component discussion. It will progress into a live demonstration of pump efficiency, water flow and Total Dynamic Head (TDH). SGMA and ILRP regulations will also be discussed.

Learning Outcomes:

• How pumps work
• Pump components,
• Pump curves
• Total Dynamic Head
• Flow Meters
• Measuring Water

 

Variable Frequency Drives for Agricultural Pumping (WEBINAR)

July 30, 2020 / 9am – 11am

More information & registration here

Course Description:
The course will begin with SCE Hydraulic Services and PG&E’s Advanced Pumping Efficiency Program descriptions and eligibility.  A refresher discussion from the previous live webinar on basic pumps and efficiency.   There will be demonstrations and discussion on how Variable Frequency Drives are becoming more common in agricultural pumping and production facilities. It will progress into a beginner’s discussion of how VFDs work, VFD controls of irrigation equipment, proper installation and maintenance. Other topics such as grower reporting of SGMA and ILRP regulations will be discussed.

Learning Outcomes: 
• Basic pump components and efficiency
• How VFD’s save energy when moving water
• Demonstration of VFD’s
• Where VFD’s are found and how they help manage proper flow
• Pressure and energy
