Marine-Source Integrated Heat Pump System for Remote Coastal and Island Communities

The white paper "Marine-Source Integrated Heat Pump (MS-IHP) System for Remote Coastal and Island Communities" focuses on the Water for Energy research area. Roughly 3.8 million U.S. coastal homes still rely on fossil fuel heating, and 1.3 million use inefficient electric resist...

Semi-Autonomous Facility Emergency Response (SAFER) for Energy-Water Resilience

The focal area of this whitepaper is enhancing cyber security for integrated energy-water systems. The near-term opportunity is to provide a decision support system (controller) to assist the hydroelectric plant operators during communications outages or during a cyber event (cybe...

Monitoring, Planning, and Management of Water Quality and Quantity for Resilient Water and Energy Systems

Both resilient systems where water is used for energy production and energy is used for treatment and operation depend not only on the quantity of water, but also quality and environmental health. Addressing gaps in environmental health and infrastructure condition/capability data...

Advancing Industrial Sector Water Management for Energy Recovery in Water Supply, In-Process, and Discharge Systems

This paper addresses both water-for-energy and energy-for-water by integrating hydropower generation to improve industrial water system resilience. Conduit hydropower is produced by capturing flowing water under pressure in closed-pipe systems and converting the energy into usable...

Dynamic Population Mapping to Advance Energy-Water Resilience

Dynamic population mapping, combined with household-level energy and water demand profiling, enables precise, actionable forecasting and resilience planning for U.S. energy-water systems under variable population and climate conditions. Energy and water systems face growing stres...

Integrated Water-Energy-Economics Framework for Public Water System Resilience

This paper highlights key energy-for-water challenges in U.S. public water systems (PWS): aging infrastructure, cost recovery gaps, hydrologic vulnerabilities, and high-demand users like data centers--which concentrate near population centers and existing PWS. It underscores the n...

Electrocoagulation for Water Recycle and Resource Recovery from Farm Wastewater

The goal of this proposed project is to use an electrochemical process to recover ammonia as struvite, a slow-release fertilizer, from real dairy-farm wastewater and recycle the treated water for animal cooling, feeding, cleaning, or irrigation. The produced solid fertilizer (bulk...

Adaptive 3D Printed Micro-Hydropower for Resilient Grids: Digital-to-Deployment Framework

We propose to enhance the resilience of the U.S. electricity grid by enabling the rapid, adaptive, and on-demand manufacturing of site-specific micro-to-small hydropower systems for low-head dams. This approach directly addresses the nation's untapped 85,000+ non-powered dams (NPD...

Field-Validated, Grid-Interactive Irrigation for Energy-Water Resilience in Puerto Rico's Agricultural Experimental Stations

Puerto Rico's irrigation infrastructure depends primarily on electrically powered pumping and distribution systems, making agricultural water delivery highly vulnerable to grid instability and frequent outages. This white paper proposes the development and validation of grid-inter...

Digital Twin and HIL Framework for Grid-Interactive Microgrids in Non-PRASA Aqueducts: Enhancing Energy-Water Nexus Resilience

This white paper addresses the energy for water focal area by developing and validating grid-interactive microgrids for aqueducts which operate outside the centralized Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (non-PRASA). These aqueducts depend on electricity for pumping and treat...
