Use of water supply for microgeneration of electricity in buildings and residential

Microgeneration of electricity through the use of renewable sources has established itself as a viable alternative for reducing energy costs and promoting sustainability, especially in residential and building environments. The generation of energy from water supplies, particularly in places with adequate pressure systems, appears to be promising. Microgeneration of hydroelectric power can be implemented on a small scale, leveraging the pressure of the water used to supply buildings or residences. The use of water supplies to generate electricity is an ecological alternative, since it does not require large reservoirs or environmental transformations, and represents a more efficient way of using the infrastructure proposed by sustainable civil construction. In this sense, the objective of this study was to evaluate the possibility and viability of producing sufficient electrical energy using energy from the water supply in buildings and residences. The implementation of the system proposed in this work demonstrates to be possible and feasible in some cases and meets the aforementioned perspectives, especially when the system is correctly dimensioned in locations where the minimum dynamic pressure offered is approximately 50 mca, as this is how a significant amount of power is generated.
