<p>A system for generating electricity in a water distribution network includes a hydroelectric generator in fluid communication with a pipeline or a valve of the network. A differential pressure control pilot limits differential pressure across the hydroelectric generator. A solenoid coupled to the differential control pilot controls water passage through the differential control pilot, and thus the operation of the hydroelectric generator. An electronic controller may be used to optimize power generated by the hydroelectric generator.</p> |
