The aim of this study is to analyze and
evaluate the installation of microturbines
placed at selected points of water
distribution systems to generating electricity from
excess and unused hydraulic energy. In order to
achieve this objective, we have considered some
alternatives to installation in hydraulic pressurized
networks of two municipalities in the province of
Huelva: Cañaveral de León and Aracena. These water
distribution systems are managed by the public
company Giahsa. An economic feasibility analysis of
the proposed installation alternatives as well as a
proposal for amortization of the investment were
shown in this work.
