Even though the science and technology in the field of energy production for buildings has reached an advanced stage of development, there is still a considerable part of the population who do not have access to electricity. Currently, renewable energy (Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Hydro, Wave energy, Biogas), are considered sources that will meet future energy requirements, but have geographical limitations, are not available throughout the territory and are difficult to integrate into energy systems due to of the unpredictable character, their functioning being determined by the weather conditions. Also, the power and efficiency of renewable energy systems are still limited. Given that gravity (the fundamental forces of nature) is available everywhere, regardless of the climatic conditions, it represents an inexhaustible source of energy. In the context of apocalyptic scenarios or cyberattacks on energy systems, gravitational electrical systems can offer solutions for restoring electricity supply from simple to most complex solutions. The article explores the conversion of potential energy from wastewater of the technological processes, into electricity. The study was performed on an experimental stand designed to be connected to the drainage system of a water-to-water heat pump. The efficiency of potential energy conversion for applicability to wastewater discharging systems of equipping civil and industrial buildings was analysed.
