Energy Saving Measures in Pressurized Irrigation Networks: A New Challenge for Power Generation
García Morillo, J.; Rodríguez-Díaz, Juan Antonio; Crespo Chacón, Miguel; McNabola, Aonghus (MDPI, 2018)In Spain and other countries, open channel distribution networks have been replaced by on demand-pressurized networks to improve the water-use efficiency of the water distribution systems, but at the same time the energy ... -
Multi-Country Scale Assessment of Available Energy Recovery Potential Using Micro-Hydropower in Drinking, Pressurised Irrigation and Wastewater Networks, Covering Part of the EU
Mitrovic, Djordje; Crespo Chacón, Miguel; Mérida García, Aida; García Morillo, J.; Rodríguez Diaz, Juan Antonio; Ramos, Helena M.; Adeyeye, Kemi; Carravetta, Armando; McNabola, Aonghus (MDPI, 2021)Studies have shown micro-hydropower (MHP) opportunities for energy recovery and CO2 reductions in the water sector. This paper conducts a large-scale assessment of this potential using a dataset amassed across six EU ... -
Potential Energy Recovery Using Micro‐Hydropower Technology in Irrigation Networks: Real‐World Case Studies in the South of Spain
Crespo Chacón, Miguel; Rodríguez-Díaz, Juan Antonio; García Morillo, J.; Gallagher, John; Coughlan, Paul; McNabola, Aonghus (MDPI, 2018)The agricultural sector is one of the most significant users of water resources worldwide. Irrigation infrastructure has been modernized in recent years in many regions dedicated to agriculture, transitioning from ... -
Pump-as-Turbine Selection Methodology for Energy Recovery in Irrigation Networks: Minimising the Payback Period
Crespo Chacón, Miguel; Rodríguez-Díaz, Juan Antonio; García Morillo, J.; McNabola, Aonghus (MDPI, 2019)In pressurized irrigation networks, energy reaches around 40% of the total water costs. Pump-as-Turbines (PATs) are a cost-effective technology for energy recovery, although they can present low efficiencies when operating ...
