“…To highlight this, the simulation showed that December is the most disadvantageous month in these latitudes. The head reservoir is water storage (it maintains supply or emergencies) and an energy storage system [75,76], but they present inconveniences on higher water age. The tank option is truly energy-hungry [77] as pumps should fill the reservoir in a brief time (those high irradiation values).…”

The efficient management of water and energy is one challenge for managers of water pressurized systems. In a scheme with high pressure on the environment, solar power appears as an opportunity for nonrenewable energy expenditure reduction and emissions elimination. In Spain, new legislation that eliminates old taxes associated with solar energy production, a drop in the cost of solar photovoltaic modules, and higher values of irradiance has converted solar powered water systems into one of the trendiest topics in the water industry. One alternative to store energy (compulsory in standalone photovoltaic systems) when managing pressurized urban water networks is the use of head tanks (tanks accumulate water during the day and release it at night). This work intends to compare the pressurized network running as a standalone system and a hybrid solution that incorporates solar energy supply and electricity grids. The indicator used for finding the best choice is the net present value for the solar power water system lifespan. This study analyzed the possibility of transferring the energy surplus obtained at midday to the electricity grid, a circumstance introduced in the Spanish legislation since April 2019. We developed a real case study in a small town in the Alicante Province, whose findings provide planning policymakers with very useful information in this case and similar case studies

“…Photovoltaic is the device that can convert solar radiation into electricity using photovoltaic effect, desalinator to remove wasteful material, and concentrator to convert thermal radiation. In designing the system, some things need to be considered such as estimation of water needs for daily needs, estimation of solar potential, and components selection [14]. The following is the specification of tools that needed in this system.…”

Water is very important for all living things. Without adequate and sustainable water, the life we know today will not be on the face of the earth. Not only needed for basic needs of life, but water is also needed to produce various products with modern technology. The issue of clean water is not only limited in number but also in uneven distribution. This makes not all regions have access to the same clean water, especially the outer island island in Indonesia. One of the islands that has a problem with clean water is the island of Marore and Kawalasu, North Sulawesi. The island which is located on the border between Indonesia and the Philippines has always had difficulties with clean water every dry season because there is no clean water source to get clean water residents are forced to buy from docked ships. In this paper is proposed an Eco Water Treatment by using Parabolic Solar Concentrator and Photovoltaic Pump. This method consists of two main parts, namely PV Sea Water Pump and Solar PV-Distillator so that it can be used to meet the needs of residents in Marore and Kawalasu islands

“…Higher water consumption occurs during the day (when there is greater solar potential) and during the summer months (when there is greater irradiance at these latitudes). Similarly, managing drinking water distribution networks allows the storage of water (and energy) in elevated reservoirs [19,20]. These characteristics mean that solar energy is the most suitable for supplying electricity to water supply pumping stations.…”

Solar energy is presented as the main alternative to conventional energy sources that often rely on burning fossil fuels. However, one major obstacle to its wider adoption is the limited ability to store the energy produced that can only be generated for a few hours daily. One way to overcome this limitation is using photovoltaic energy to power urban water supply pumps. This allows the energy to be stored as potential energy in regulating reservoirs while also taking advantage of the temporal coincidence between the generation of solar energy and the daily and annual water and energy supply consumption. Given that implementing solar energy in pumping devices involves an enormous investment, the optimal payback period is identified as the key indicator to know which population is one in which this action is more advisable. This work aims to find the key factors influencing the payback period of solar photovoltaic installation in urban water supply networks. To accomplish this goal, this study analyzes all 20 municipalities in the province of Alicante (which consume groundwater) where these systems can be implemented. Furthermore, this study facilitates the identification of variables that influence the decision to install a solar photovoltaic system in an urban water supply. By measuring two or three parameters, it becomes possible to easily determine the economic viability of such an investment in towns supplied with groundwater. Furthermore, these results can be extrapolated to other municipalities with similar features (irradiance, inhabitants, etc.). This study also presents a straightforward formula that supply managers can utilize to calculate the payback period of the installation using readily available data. The main factors that affect the recovery period of a photovoltaic solar installation are the difference in monthly supply consumption between winter and summer months and the average water depth.
