Maximizing American Energy Dominance with Forecasts of Energy Infrastructure Flood Exposure and AI Predictions of Consequences
This white paper focuses on water for energy.
High frequency, reliable, and spatially explicit flood forecasts are necessary to forecast impacts to the energy system from hydrological hazards. While these tools are nearing operation at scale, they have not yet been systematicall...

Agentic Optimization for Resilience in Hydropower Reservoir Systems
The growing electricity demand in the U.S. requires a resilient energy strategy. Hydropower is a major component of that strategy but is subject to environmental and human stressors that impact its dependability. AI-driven reinforcement learning, called "Agentic" learning, presen...

High-Rate Manufacturing of Corrosion Resistant Composite Piping for Water-Energy Infrastructure Resilience
The work focuses on rapid and cost-efficient manufacturing of composite piping for hydropower, waste-water infrastructure and data center thermal management offering extended service life and minimal inspection-maintenance requirement under corrosive and high temperature environme...
Saha, S., Kim, P., Kumar, V., Spencer, R., and Hassen, A.
Thermoelectric and Hydropower Drought Monitor and Outlook: Tools for more robust resource adequacy planning and management
The primary focus is on issues related to water for energy; specifically, how drought-impacted water supply limits the generation potential of hydropower and thermoelectric assets.
Existing Challenge: Twenty-two droughts, each causing a billion dollars or more in damages have im...
