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 dissipation takes place during PRV operation. Thus, micro-hydropower turbines and, m...

The selection of pumps as turbines (PATs) for their respective use in energy optimisation systems is a complicated task, because manufacturers do not provide the characteristic curves. For this reason, some research has been carried out to predict them w...

An axial-flow pump as a turbine (PAT), as compared to the conventional Francis turbine, has the advantages of not being restricted by the terrain and having lower cost to reverse the pump as a turbine for power generation. When an axial-flow pump is reve...

Installing pumps as turbines (PaTs) in water distribution networks can recover otherwise wasted energy, as well as reduce leakage caused by high water pressure. However, a barrier to their implementation is the lack of information on their performance in...
