# EVOLV — Edge-Layer Evolution for Optimized Virtualization
|
|
|
|
Industrial automation platform for wastewater treatment, built as custom Node-RED nodes by Waterschap Brabantse Delta R&D. Follows ISA-88 (S88) batch control standard.
|
|
|
|
## Stack
|
|
|
|
Node.js, Node-RED, InfluxDB (time-series), TensorFlow.js (prediction), CoolProp (thermodynamics). No build step — pure Node.js.
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
Each node follows a 3-tier pattern:
|
|
1. **Entry file** — registers with Node-RED, admin HTTP endpoints
|
|
2. **nodeClass** — Node-RED adapter (tick loop, message routing, status)
|
|
3. **specificClass** — pure domain logic (physics, state machines, predictions)
|
|
|
|
3-port output convention: Port 0 = process data, Port 1 = InfluxDB telemetry, Port 2 = parent-child registration.
|
|
|
|
## What Works
|
|
|
|
| Capability | Status | Evidence |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| rotatingMachine state machine | proven | 76 tests passing, all sequences verified |
|
|
| 3D pump curve prediction (flow/power from pressure+control) | proven | Monotonic cubic spline interpolation across 34 pressure levels |
|
|
| NCog / BEP tracking per pump | proven | Produces meaningful values with differential pressure |
|
|
| machineGroupControl BEP-Gravitation | proven | Within 0.1% of brute-force global optimum |
|
|
| Combination selection (2^n exhaustive) | proven | Stable: 1-2 switches across 5-95% demand sweep, no hysteresis |
|
|
| Prediction health scoring | proven | NRMSE drift, pressure source penalties, edge detection |
|
|
| Hydraulic efficiency (η = QΔP/P) | proven | CoolProp density, head calculation |
|
|
| Unit conversion chain | proven | No double-conversion, clean layer separation |
|
|
|
|
## What Doesn't Work (honestly)
|
|
|
|
| Issue | Status | Evidence |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| C5 curve non-convexity | evolving | 5 raw data points cause spline artifacts, dP/dQ non-monotonic |
|
|
| NCog = 0 at high ΔP | evolving | At ΔP > 800 mbar for H05K, Q/P is monotonically decreasing |
|
|
| calcBestCombination (NCog-weight mode) | disproven | Uses NCog as proportional weight instead of BEP target |
|
|
|
|
## Current Scale
|
|
|
|
- 13 custom Node-RED nodes (12 submodules + generalFunctions)
|
|
- rotatingMachine: 76 tests, 1563 lines domain logic
|
|
- machineGroupControl: 90+ tests, 1400+ lines domain logic
|
|
- 3 real pump curves: H05K-S03R, C5-D03R-SHN1, ECDV
|
|
- Tick loop: 1000ms interval
