Combining energy recovery and leakage reduction in water distribution networks

Bonthuys, Gideon Johannes; Van Dijk, Marco (South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2019-06)

Energy consumption in water supply and distribution networks represents 7% of the world’s consumption of energy. According to the Key World Energy Statistics published by the International Energy Agency, the water ...
Leveraging water infrastructure asset management for energy recovery and leakage reduction

Bonthuys, Gideon Johannes; Van Dijk, Marco; Cavazzini, Giovanna (Elsevier, 2019-04)

The purpose of this paper is to bridge the gap between the awareness of potential for energy recovery within Municipal Water Distribution Systems and the lack of knowledge of the extent and location of such potential so ...
The optimization of energy recovery device sizes and locations in municipal water distribution systems during extended-period simulation

Bonthuys, Gideon Johannes; Van Dijk, Marco; Cavazzini, Giovanna (MDPI, 2020-08-31)

Excess pressure within water distribution systems not only increases the risk for water losses through leakages but provides the potential for harnessing excess energy through the installation of energy recovery devices, ...
