Description:
The LIFE SWSS project aimed to demonstrate and disseminate an innovative management and decision-support platform for water supply systems, namely the Smart Water Supply System. The SWSS platform would be composed of five modules – predictive, hydraulic simulation, assessment, leakage and optimization – that together support the water companies in their efforts to improve energy efficiency and water efficiency. The SWSS modules would be based on previous developments from consortium partners of the project, which would be integrated into a single platform. Three demonstration water supply systems águas do Algarve (AdA) and Empresa Portuguesa das águas Livres (EPAL) Centre and West would implement the project platform under real working conditions. At these three sites, the objective would be to reduce energy consumption, GHG emissions and water leakage by implementing the SWSS platform and the reverse-pump for energy recovery (renewable energy) in gravity systems.
