[0030] In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present disclosure more obvious and understandable, the present disclosure will be further explained in detail hereinafter with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] In FIG. 1, in the parallel water pump units, three water pumps of the same model equipped with frequency converters form a sub-pump unit A, k=3. No water pumps of other models are provided, k1=0. The parallel water pump units use a constant pressure operation mode with the constant pressure value H.sub.s=17 (meters). The constant pressure value is the constant pressure value of the total head of the water pump unit. The water pump unit delivers clean water, and any water pump in the sub-pump unit A is designated as the first water pump. The water output of the i-th water pump in the sub-pump unit A is Qi, the input power of the frequency converter is P.sub.i, the operating frequency is f.sub.i, the total water output of the sub-pump unit A is Q.sub.A, and the total input power of the frequency converter in the sub-pump unit A is P.sub.A, Q.sub.A=Q.sub.1+Q.sub.2+Q.sub.3, P.sub.A=P.sub.1+P.sub.2+P.sub.3, α=0, φ=1, λ=0, μ=0, β=1, ω=0, δ=0, ξ=0, σ≤1. ρ.sup.αQ.sub.A.sup.φH.sub.s.sup.λP.sub.A.sup.μ−βρ.sup.ωQ.sub.A.sup.δH.sub.s.sup.ξP.sub.A.sup.σ becomes Q.sub.A−P.sub.A. Q.sub.A−P.sub.A is used as the working curve w. While keeping the operating status of the constant pressure H.sub.s=17 (meters), the water output Q.sub.1 of a first water pump in the sub-pump unit A and the input power P.sub.1 of the frequency converter corresponding to Q.sub.1 are recorded, where Q.sub.A=Q.sub.1, P.sub.A=P.sub.1. The Q.sub.A−P.sub.A curve of an operating water pump is taken as the working curve w.sub.1, where Q.sub.A=2Q.sub.1 and P.sub.A=2P.sub.1. The working curve w.sub.2 of two operating water pumps is obtained, where Q.sub.A=3Q.sub.1 and P.sub.A=3P.sub.1. The working curve w.sub.3 of three operating water pumps is obtained. The working curve w.sub.1 and the working curve w.sub.2 intersect at point C, which is the optimal switching point between an operating water pump and two operating water pumps under the constant pressure H.sub.s=17 (meters), where Q.sub.A=Q.sub.1, 2, P.sub.A=P.sub.1, 2; P.sub.1, 2 is selected as the optimal switching point. At the intersection point, H.sub.s is the same, Q.sub.A is the same and P.sub.A is the same, so that the efficiency of an operating water pump is the same as that of two operating water pumps, which is referred to as “equivalent switching”. When P.sub.A>P.sub.1, 2, an operating water pump is switched to two operating water pumps. When two water pumps are operating, f.sub.1=f.sub.2 is kept. The frequency converters corresponding to the operating water pumps of the same model operate at the same output frequency, which is referred to as “the same pump with the same frequency”, where Q.sub.1=Q.sub.2, P.sub.1=P.sub.2. H.sub.s is the same. When P.sub.A<P.sub.1, 2, two operating water pumps are switched to one operating water pump. The working curve w.sub.2 and the working curve w.sub.3 intersect at point D, which is the optimal switching point between two operating water pumps and three operating water pumps under the constant pressure H.sub.s=17 (meters), where Q.sub.A=Q.sub.2, 3, P.sub.A=P.sub.2, 3; P.sub.2, 3 is selected as the optimal switching point. When P.sub.A>P.sub.2, 3, two operating water pumps are switched to three operating water pumps. When three water pumps are operating, f.sub.1=f.sub.2=f.sub.3 is kept. When P.sub.A<P.sub.2, 3, three operating water pumps are switched to two operating water pumps, and f.sub.1=f.sub.2 is kept. The process requirements have time limits on the start-stop interval of water pumps. In order to avoid frequent switching of the number of operating water pumps near the optimal switching point, the value of the actual switching point is within a range near the optimal switching point. When the number of operating water pumps increases from 1 to 2, the actual switching point is P.sub.1, 2 (1+0.08), and when the number of operating water pumps decreases from 2 to 1, the actual switching point is P.sub.1, 2 (1−0.08). When the number of operating water pumps increases from 2 to 3, the actual switching point is P.sub.2, 3 (1+0.08), and when the number of operating water pumps decreases from 3 to 2, the actual switching point is P.sub.2, 3 (1−0.08). The value near the optimal switching point is used as the actual switching point value. The number of operating water pumps is maintained at the switching point, the number of operating water pumps is increased when it is greater than the switching point value, and the number of operating water pumps is decreased when it is less than the switching point value. These actual switching points are approximately optimal switching points. For different constant voltage operating values H.sub.s, different optimal switching points and different actual switching points are obtained by the same method.

[0032] In FIG. 2, in the parallel water pump units, three water pumps of the same model equipped with frequency converters form a sub-pump unit A, k=3. No water pumps of other models are provided, k1=0. The parallel water pump units use a constant pressure operation mode with the constant pressure value H.sub.s=17 (meters). The constant pressure value is the constant pressure value of the total head of the water pump unit. The water pump unit delivers clean water, and any water pump in the sub-pump unit A is designated as the first water pump. The water output of the i-th water pump in the sub-pump unit A is Qi, the input power of the frequency converter is P.sub.i, the operating frequency is f.sub.i, the total water output of the sub-pump unit A is Q.sub.A, and the total input power of the frequency converter in the sub-pump unit A is P.sub.A, Q.sub.A=Q.sub.1+Q.sub.2+Q.sub.3, P.sub.A=P.sub.1+P.sub.2+P.sub.3. α=0, φ=1, λ=0, μ=0, β=1, ω=0, δ=1, ξ=0, σ=−1. ρ.sup.αQ.sub.A.sup.φH.sub.s.sup.λP.sub.A.sup.μ−βρ.sup.ωQ.sub.A.sup.δH.sub.s.sup.ξP.sub.A.sup.σ becomes Q.sub.A−Q.sub.A/P.sub.A. Q.sub.A−Q.sub.A/P.sub.A is used as the working curve w. While keeping the operating status of the constant pressure H.sub.s=17 (meters), the water output Q.sub.1 of a first water pump in the sub-pump unit A and the input power P.sub.1 of the frequency converter corresponding to Q.sub.1 are recorded, where Q.sub.A=Q.sub.1, P.sub.A=P.sub.1. The Q.sub.A−Q.sub.A/P.sub.A curve of an operating water pump is taken as the working curve w.sub.1, where Q.sub.A=2Q.sub.1 and P.sub.A=2P.sub.1. The working curve w.sub.2 of two operating water pumps is obtained, where Q.sub.A=3Q.sub.1 and P.sub.A=3P.sub.1. The working curve w.sub.3 of three operating water pumps is obtained. The working curve w.sub.1 and the working curve w.sub.2 intersect at point C, which is the optimal switching point between an operating water pump and two operating water pumps under the constant pressure H.sub.s=17 (meters), where Q.sub.A=Q.sub.1, 2; Q.sub.1, 2 is selected as the optimal switching point. When Q.sub.A>Q.sub.1, 2, an operating water pump is switched to two operating water pumps. When two water pumps are operating, f.sub.1=f.sub.2 is kept. When Q.sub.A<Q.sub.1, 2, two operating water pumps are switched to one operating water pump. The working curve w.sub.2 and the working curve w.sub.3 intersect at point D, which is the optimal switching point between two operating water pumps and three operating water pumps under the constant pressure H.sub.s=17 (meters), where Q.sub.A=Q.sub.2, 3; Q.sub.2, 3 is selected as the optimal switching point. When Q.sub.A>Q.sub.2, 3, two operating water pumps are switched to three operating water pumps. When three water pumps are operating, f.sub.1=f.sub.2=f.sub.3 is kept. When Q.sub.A<Q.sub.2, 3, three operating water pumps are switched to two operating water pumps, and f.sub.1=f.sub.2 is kept. The process requirements have time limits on the start-stop interval of water pumps. In order to avoid frequent switching of the number of operating water pumps near the optimal switching point, the value of the actual switching point is within a range near the optimal switching point. When the number of operating water pumps increases from 1 to 2, the actual switching point is Q.sub.1, 2 (1+0.04), and when the number of operating water pumps decreases from 2 to 1, the actual switching point is Q.sub.1, 2 (1−0.04). When the number of operating water pumps increases from 2 to 3, the actual switching point is Q.sub.2, 3 (1+0.04), and when the number of operating water pumps decreases from 3 to 2, the actual switching point is Q.sub.2, 3 (1−0.04). That is to say, the value near the optimal switching point is used as the actual switching point value. The number of operating water pumps is maintained at the switching point, the number of operating water pumps is increased when it is greater than the switching point value, and the number of operating water pumps is decreased when it is less than the switching point value. These actual switching points are approximately optimal switching points. For different constant voltage operating values H.sub.s, different optimal switching points and different actual switching points are obtained by the same method.

When three water pumps are operating, if f.sub.A<f.sub.2, 3, three operating water pumps are switched to two operating water pumps, and f.sub.1=f.sub.2 is kept. The process requirements have time limits on the start-stop interval of water pumps. In order to avoid frequent switching of the number of operating water pumps near the optimal switching point, the value of the actual switching point is within a range near the optimal switching point. When the number of operating water pumps increases from 1 to 2, the actual switching point is f.sub.1, 2 (1+0.02), and when the number of operating water pumps decreases from 2 to 1, the actual switching point is f.sub.2, 1 (1−0.02). When the number of operating water pumps increases from 2 to 3, the actual switching point is f.sub.2, 3 (1+0.02), and when the number of operating water pumps decreases from 3 to 2, the actual switching point is f.sub.3, 2 (1−0.02). That is to say, the value near the optimal switching point is used as the actual switching point value. The number of operating water pumps is maintained at the switching point, the number of operating water pumps is increased when it is greater than the actual switching point, and the number of operating water pumps is decreased when it is less than the actual switching point. These actual switching points are approximately optimal switching points. For different constant voltage operating values H.sub.s, different optimal switching points and different actual switching points are obtained by the same method.
