The energy efficiency of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is a subject of growing interests by water utility and WWTPs operators. As consequence, benchmarking in recent years has become an important tool to assess the ...

This article examines the potential benefits of using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) for conducting energy-efficiency assessment of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). WWTPs are characteristically heterogeneous (in size, ...

Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTPs) account for more than 1% of consumption of electricity in Europe, one of the largest shares of energy use among public industries. The aim of ENERWATER is to provide measuring tools to ...

Wastewater treatment plants are relevant energy consumers. As they carry out complex operations submitted to large variability caused by, among others, the influent and loading variations, the assessment of the performance ...

In response to strong growth in energy intensive wastewater treatment, public agencies and industry began to explore and implement measures to ensure achievement of the target indicated in the 2020 Climate and Energy ...

This project will develop, validate and disseminate a standardized methodology for continuously assessing, labelling and improving the overall energy performance of Waste Water Treatment Plants. The methodology will be ...

Academic research on benchmarking energy efficiency predominately focuses on two main streams of alternatives techniques: parametric and nonparametric. Since there is no agreement on the consistency of their estimates, the ...
