High-Resolution Energy Intensity Modeling to Improve Water Distribution System Performance

2020 | Robert B. Sowby and Steven J. Burian (Univ. Utah)

Water distribution systems can improve their sustainability by implementing the most energy-efficient scheme for water delivery, but this is difficult to determine for complex systems. A method proposed here combines facility-level energy intensity data with hydraulic simulations to map the flow of energy through the water distribution system and quantify the response of local energy intensities to proposed  modifications.
