Mitigating Wildfire-Driven Hydrological Impacts on Energy Generation

Following a wildfire, increased sedimentation and altered flow regimes can disrupt water quantity and quality for years, impacting water users (e.g., municipal, industrial, agricultural) and undermining energy reliability, efficiency, and infrastructure longevity. Upstream restora...

Accounting for Water-Energy Co-Benefits of Floating Photovoltaics (FPV)

Floating photovoltaic projects, as well as those that span over waterways (i.e. canopy), present potential technological and economic advantages over ground-mounted systems that have fueled rapid global growth in installed capacity in recent years. Aside from expanding generation,...

Aquifer Storage as a Core Strategy for Energy-Water Resilience: Near and Long-Term Development Across U.S. Regions

This research area primarily addresses the "Energy for Water" focus area. Depleted aquifers pose serious economic liabilities if left as is, however, they are a core asset for long term water storage throughout the US. Current efforts to store surface water, while successful are s...

Energy-Water Interdependence Network (EWIN) of Regional Water Supply using Nonconventional Water for Energy-Water Resilience

The focal area of this paper is energy and water interconnection. The challenges faced include the need for extra energy to treat nonconventional water (NCW) and high reginal energy intensity of water supply using NCW. Near-term opportunities are establishing energy-water interdep...
