Current paper analyzes the reservoir's useful water volume for hydropower efficiency in water supply systems. Data, retrieved from the Guanabara Water Supply System of the municipality of Ananindeua, state of Pará, Brazil, were analyzed. Two useful volume sizes were determined following recommendations by NBR 12.217/1994 "Project on the water distribution reservoir for public supply". The former featured the time curve of water consumption and the latter the rate of maximum daily discharge. The latter stage assessed the most adequate useful water volume from the point of view of hydropower efficiency by Epanet 2.0. Dimensions with or without water consumption curve provided useful volumes of 838 m3 and 2.043 m3, respectively. In the case of the lowest volume, 47 hours/day of CMB functioning and 987 kWh/day of electric power consumption in EAT were detected.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
