Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of energy optimization strategies for the Ferrarin and Arzergrande water pumping stations, located in the Piovese Area, close to Padua, managed by multiutility company AcegasApsAmga S.p.A. Based on studies conducted by the University of Naples Federico II, the paper compares current operational configurations and proposes innovative solutions to reduce energy consumption, improve hydraulic efficiency, and enhance operational flexibility. The integration of high-efficiency pumps, strategic network interconnections, and the use of hydraulic turbines are evaluated for their impact on energy savings and system resilience.
Keywords: water pumping stations; energy optimization; hydraulic efficiency; turbine installation; simulation analysis; operational flexibility; cost reduction water pumping stations; energy optimization; hydraulic efficiency; turbine installation; simulation analysis; operational flexibility; cost reduction
