This paper delves into identifying the optimal scenario for the implementation of micro-turbines, specifically Pump-as-Turbines (PaTs), in a water distribution network (WDN) by achieving the highest consensus among the involved stakeholders. Utilising a simulations-optimisation model, the best...

The chance of success in implementing a new project in a water distribution network (WDN) significantly depends on the behaviour of the involved stakeholders. In this paper, the feasibility of installing the micro-turbines in WDNs for generating hydro-power energy is studied from the...
