Bonthuys, Gideon Johannes; Van Dijk, Marco; Cavazzini, Giovanna (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2020-05)Potential for energy recovery exists at any point within a water distribution system where the mechanical energy of excess water pressure can be converted into electrical energy. Energy conversion decreases the average ...
