Energy consumption in pumping stations represents a significant portion of operational costs in water management systems. This study focuses on the optimization of energy usage in pumping units at the KarakulVSP pumping station. The research evaluates technical, operational, and technological factors influencing energy efficiency and proposes modern optimization methods, including variable frequency drives (VFDs), hydraulic optimization, and intelligent control systems. Analytical and experimental approaches were used to assess performance improvements. Results indicate that implementing integrated optimization strategies can reduce energy consumption by 15–30% while maintaining system reliability. The findings contribute to sustainable water resource management and energy efficiency improvement in large-scale pumping systems.
