Abstract The Archimedes Screw Turbine (AST) is an innovative type of hydroelectric power
plant that can be particularly useful in locations with very low-head sites (less than 10 m …

With the increasing emphasis on clean energy, there is growing attention to the use of
microturbines or pumps as turbines (PATs) to recover excess hydraulic energy in the water …

The use of microturbines in irrigation applications represents a great opportunity for
increasing sustainable energy generation. Irrigation systems have water flow that can be …

Electricity demand in residential areas is generally met by the local low-voltage grid or,
alternatively, the national grid, which produces electricity using thermal power stations …

This paper aims to evaluate the possibility of using non-utilized hydraulic energy in urban
water distribution systems. For this purpose, the viability and possible alternatives of …

Optimising energy use in systems and buildings is crucial to reduce climate change. This
paper aims to address the gap in knowledge for pico-hydropower (< 5 kW) that has been …

This paper delves into identifying the optimal scenario for the implementation of micro-
turbines, specifically Pump-as-Turbines (PaTs), in a water distribution network (WDN) by …

For this paper, a computer program was designed and developed to calculate which
turbines could be placed in a water distribution system considering the hydraulic constraints …

In this study, a composite control algorithm based on classical control methods is developed
to achieve all control objectives, such as power production, load reduction, and motion …

The Francis runner is a critical component of the Francis turbine generator unit, playing a
central role in converting water energy into rotating mechanical energy that drives the …
