The shut-down process of bulb tubular pumping station with VFD will be a stabile and safe transient process through the speed lowing gradually. The features of normal shut-down process with VFD were analyzed. The flowing rate balance and torque dynamic balance equations were established. According to the characteristics of the VFD, the speed lowing law was designed and the main hydraulic parameters were simulated during the shut-down transient period by the numerical calculation, the optimal combination between the speed-lowing, the starting time point and closing time of the gate was discovered. The findings of the study provided various shut-down suggestions for safety and stability operation of bulb tubular pumping stations with VFD.
