Energy Efficiency and Stability of Micro-Hydropower PAT-SEIG Systems for DC Off-Grids

Using pumps operating as turbines (PATs) offers the possibility of increasing the sustainability of water and energy systems by recovering the excess energy that would be otherwise lost in pressure-reducing valves or head loss chambers. Regarding on-grid applications, there have been many research w...
