Abstract Pumps as Turbines (PATs) are standard water pumps utilized as hydraulic turbines
by reversing the flow direction across them. The off-the-shelf availability of water pumps and …

The cities and townships should increase their sustainability to achieve the different targets,
which are included in the sustainable development goals. The water distribution networks …

In recent years, pump-as-turbines (PATs) have been highlighted for their potential benefits
as an application of micro-hydropower (MHP) in water distribution networks. However, PATs …

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 …

Agriculture is one of the most energy intensive activities within the European Union. The
common absence of electric infrastructure in these rural settings has led to the need for in …

Pressure Reducing Valves (PRV) have been widely used as a device to control pressure at
nodes in water distribution networks and thus reduce leakages. However, an energy …

A comparative environmental and economic impact analysis between a hybrid pump-as-
turbine/solar pilot system (PAT-PV) and a traditional diesel generator, with the innovation of …

In pressurized irrigation networks, energy reaches around 40% of the total water costs.
Pump-as-Turbines (PATs) are a cost-effective technology for energy recovery, although they …

The use of micro-hydropower (MHP) for energy recovery in water distribution networks is
becoming increasingly widespread. The incorporation of this technology, which offers low …

Alterations in annual temperature and precipitation patterns are imposing heightened strain
on both urban and agricultural systems. The insufficiency of available water resources to …
