We are very excited to invite you to the project’s final event – REDAWN and Beyond
Join us for a lively event by the REDAWN team and external featuring partners exploring the potential for energy recovery in water networks.
The event will present the key results and successes from the research stakeholders, including those from the water, wastewater and irrigation industries, policy makers and regulators, supply chain, process and product manufacturers, customers, academia and other related groups.
Register now - HYDREOS B-to-B webinar and meetings "Energy in the Small Water Cycle" on 22 October in partnership with the Agence de l'Eau Rhin Meuse, Astee - Association scientifique pour l'eau et l'environnement and FNCCR.
This webinar will focus on energy efficiency and renewable energy production in wastewater treatment plants and drinking water treatment plants. The objective of this first part will be to present feedback and innovative solutions that make it possible to manage and produce energy, as close as possible to needs.
Read this fascinating interview with Helena Ramos, who is leading WP7 of the REDAWN project, for the AmbientalIST website.
Helena describes the insights which REDAWN's real-world case studies are bringing to help unlock our understanding of the potential for energy recovery and the reduction of lossses in existing water networks.
We've just added details from another REDAWN pilot site, which has been developed in joint association with IST-Lisboa and IG Energy.
This demonstration site explores an adapted pico Pelton turbine that uses a Tungsten mine reservoir to produce hydropower to supply a family home in Hídrica do Seixoso – Portugal.
Although it is still being tested, on average this unit produces around 1000 kWh energy per month, providing a sustainable alternative to grid energy.
Energy booster: a new opportunity for energy recovery in urban water networks
An innovative technology has been developed by a working group of Federico II in Naples, ITALY. One of the major obstacles to the exploitation of hydropower plant (HPP) technology in water distribution networks is represented by the cost of the civil waterworks for housing electromechanical devices, piping and electronic controls.
