| Sumario: | [EN] This final Project was designed to show the importance of energy efficiency in urban water distribution systems, and the possibility of using Pumps As Turbines (PATs) as means to this end. For that reason the focus of the study is on the Picanya water distribution network. The water supply of the town is done by direct connection to the metropolitan core network, this makes the pressure excessive, and because of this, there is a pressure reducing valve (PRV) which helps to bring the pressures required in the municipality. After doing an identification of the consumed flow rates and a characterization of the network, an energy audit of the distribution system was performed. That audit concludes that one way to improve the energy efficiency of the system would be recovering the energy dissipated by the VRP located at the head. For this reason, it was decided to install in parallel with the VRP a pump operating as a turbine. The simulation of the energy recovery was performed by ALLIEVI software, which is able to show a model of a pump working as a turbine through universal curves leading implemented. Once the model of the net was created, different operating points were tested until finding the one that allowed the highest energy recovery with proper operation of the system. Once this was done, different scenarios were simulated and studied, such as: an increase in the inlet pressure from the metropolitan core network and the elimination of the VRP in order that at all times the volume can flow through the pump. Finally, the study of the Picanya water distribution network used to draw conclusions. |
