Design of an Axial Turbine for Excessive Pressure Recovery in Smart Distribution Systems
Original language description
The ongoing digital transformation of water distribution systems necessitates a sustainable and efficient energy source. Traditional systems employ pressure reduction valves (PRVs) to manage excess pressure, a method that unfortunately dissipates potential energy as heat. This study proposes the design of an axial turbine as a novel substitute for PRVs, aiming to recover this otherwise wasted energy. The axial turbine design, encompasses an innovative variant featuring counter-rotating runners. This design is geared towards harnessing energy from excess pressure, thus generating electricity. This electricity can then power the digitalization of the network and cater to its self-consumption needs, promoting a self-sustaining infrastructure. This research contributes to the development of smarter, more sustainable water management practices by integrating energy recovery into system architecture, aligning with broader environmental and economic goals.
