Claim 0:
1. A system for providing renewable electrical power for transporting water from a first location to a second location through a water pipeline having one or more pumps operating with an electrical power grid, comprising:
at least one micro-turbine fluidly coupled with the water pipeline, wherein the micro-turbine is located along a down-sloped portion of the pipeline, the micro-turbine generating electricity as water passes through the micro-turbine, the micro-turbine having an electrical output coupled with the one or more pumps to provide electricity to the one or more pumps; and
a controller coupled with the micro-turbine, the controller monitoring the electrical demands of the one or more pumps, the controller monitoring the electrical output of the micro-turbine, and if power is available from the micro-turbine, the controller directing power from the micro-turbine to the one or more pumps to pump the water through the one or more pumps towards the second location thereby reducing an amount of electricity consumed from the electrical power grid.
