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 …

Urban water distribution systems (WDSs) exhibit significant energy potential that is currently
dissipated in the form of excess pressure, either at brake-pressure tanks (BPTs) or pressure …

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

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 …

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 …

The constant growth of the population and the increase in the need for resources create
challenges, and it is necessary to seek more sustainable solutions to manage them more …

A novel approach is investigated, based on an integrated solution aiming at exploiting the
energy harvestable from both drinking water reaching a municipality (or district) and …

The operating state of a pump-turbine unit under no-load conditions is directly related to its
safe and stable operation. In order to probe into the influence of hydraulic characteristics on …

Tidal energy represents a clean and sustainable source of energy generation that can
address renewable energy challenges, especially the global challenge of optimizing …

[EN] Irrigation plays a vital role in productive and sustainable agriculture. In the current
context, it is determined not only by water availability but also by the efficient management of …
