Evaluation of a photovoltaic water-supply scheme for the surface water system in Xiamen, China

摘要: Abstract As one of many potential applications for new developments in energy, there is a need to further explore renewable energy urban ecological construction. In this regard, the construction water systems that utilize important safeguarding environments while improving aesthetic quality residential areas. study, we examine photovoltaic lifting and pumping method supplement an system Xiamen, China, with reclaimed from nearby sewage plant, which might serve as source during dry season. We analyzed current conditions planned Xiang’an District, well requirements maintaining constant supply system. This analysis illustrated necessity maintains balance area, necessary adopting water-supply scheme part The treatment plant District requires upgrades so standard its complies Class IV post-treatment surface water. Furthermore, scenarios based on 2011, when highest number non-rainy days past ten years were recorded. Based analysis, propose describe structure compatible water-pumping scheme. pump includes three stations: main station operates throughout year lifting, utilizes supply, other two are supplementary, increase recirculation river, operate design panels each relevant standards. paper describes application, effects, economic feasibility proposed study therefore provides reference future studies related sustainable development remediation highlighting application energy.
