[EN] This paper analyses the energy performance of simple pressurised water transport systems, in which a pipe transfers water from the point of origin to the end. The aim of the analysis is to evaluate the energy efficiency ...

[EN] For humankind to survive, access to sufficient and safe drinking water is fundamental. This study explores the connection between rising domestic water consumption and planetary phenomena, such as rapid population ...

[EN] As a common method to control leakage of water distribution system, pressure management has the advantages of reducing energy consumption, reducing the possibility of explosion and avoiding the aggravation of leakage. ...

[EN] The benefits of applying pressure management in urban water supply networks are well known for more than 10 years. Apart from reducing leakage, it also reduces burst frequency and consumption. However, the reduction ...

[EN] In water distribution networks, the adjustment of the driving curves of pumping systems to the setpoint curves allows for determining the minimum energy cost that can be achieved in terms of pumping. This paper ...
