Abstract: The distribution of water is an energy intensive process in which potential to recover energy currently wasted exists, via the installation of microhydro energy recovery systems. Pump-as-turbine (PAT) technology offers an ...

Abstract: Water supply is energy intensive, resulting in large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions and increased electricity bills for water service providers (WSPs). In recent years, the incorporation of microhydropower (MHP) ...

Abstract: Significant amounts of energy are consumed in the heating of water in the hospitality and food services sectors. The majority of this energy is still present in the subsequent wastewater, which is sent to the sewer system, ...

Abstract: Water distribution networks have a significant water and energy demand and, therefore, must face the challenge of adopting measures that improve how these resources are used. Previous investigations have demonstrated the ...

Abstract: Pressure management in water supply pipe networks using conventional pressure reducing valves (PRVs) results in the dissipated energy being lost. In pursuit of more energy efficient solutions in the sector, researchers are ...

Abstract: Incorporating microhydropower (MHP) turbines within water supply networks has the potential to improve the economic and environmental sustainability of the sector. However, long-term flow and head variations in water ...

Abstract: In recent years, many researchers have recognized pressure reducing valves (PRVs) as potential microhydropower (MHP) sites, aiming to improve the efficiency of water networks. Pump-as-turbines (PATs) have been pointed out ...
