Energy recovery in water transmission system using in-Pipe turbine technology

الملخص EN

This paper deal with the hydraulic grade line for the Man- Made River project at phase I in Tazirbo - Sarir line, by studying it using EPANET software and Excel spreadsheet, as well the methodology to quantify the potential for hydropower based on the excess energy in a network is proposed and applied to a real case.

This study presents a sustainable source that might use as a source of energy in the Man-Made River Project (Tazirbo - Sarir pipeline).

The results show the excess energy by pressure reduce valve (PRV).

Besides, the in-pipe turbine system (Lucid Pipe System) will be able to provide 8MW of clean energy.

Finally, this technology will decrease energy consumption and provide more than 70% of leftover energy.
