Water distribution networks (WDNs) are significant users of energy and contributors to
greenhouse gas emissions. Energy recovery strategies (ERSs) have potential for switching …

Abstract Water Distribution Networks (WDNs) are becoming an attractive area of application
for small hydropower, which can contribute to the development of distributed energy …

Abstract Water Distribution Networks (WDNs) represent a noteworthy field for possible
implementation of Small Hydropower (SHP), by replacing Pressure Reduction Valves (PRV) …

Water distribution network are energy-demanding systems affected by low efficiency. In such
systems, the pressure is generally kept under control by regulation valves to reduce the …

In a historical context where renewable energy is increasingly being adopted, the
installation of Pumps as Turbines (PaTs) in Water Distribution Networks (WDNs) is gaining …

The use of pumps working as turbines (PATs) to improve the energy efficiency of water
networks has been studied in the last years. This recovery system is justified due to a low …

In recent years, many researchers have recognized pressure reducing valves (PRVs) as
potential microhydropower (MHP) sites, aiming to improve the efficiency of water networks …

The need for energy is growing due to concerns about development and well-being, but the
traditional methods of energy production harm people and the environment. This impact can …

The recovery of excess energy in water supply networks has been a topic of paramount
importance in recent literature. In pressurized systems, a pump used in inverse mode (Pump …

Recent statistics shows that CO2 emissions from road transport have been increasing. In
addition, the paradigm of “more electric vehicles” does not seem to be positive from the …
