Hydrotwin: an AI-based physics and optimization framework for improved water resource resilience in systems experiencing adverse events
This white paper focuses on water for energy.
As we move ahead into an uncertain future for water resource demand and supply, a massive challenge exists to optimize water systems to be resilient to a range of press/pulse extreme event states and conditions. Optimal decision-makin...

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...

A Coupled Energy-Water Storage Architecture for Resilient Urban Power and Water Distribution
This white paper proposes a coupled energy-water storage architecture to enhance the resilience of urban power and water distribution networks. The concept leverages GLIDES concept (Ground-Level Integrated Diverse Energy Storage), which is a pneumo-hydraulic storage technology dev...

Improved quantification of river nutrient loading for better water quality and more efficient energy use
The focus of this paper is multi-sector dynamics involving agriculture practices, water quality and energy. Currently there lacks high-resolution spatiotemporal data regarding water quality and usage, forcing the planning for water treatment to adopt the conservative, worst-case a...

Unlocking the energy-water interdependency through bio-augmented treatment of produced water for agricultural re-use and aquifer recharge
The supply and demand for energy and water within the US is increasingly intertwined. Several examples of this include the large volumes of water consumed by hydraulic fracking, the reliance of energy-intensive groundwater pumping in agriculture, and the significant water and powe...

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...

Water-Energy-Economics: Leveraging Market Instruments for Building Resilience
Energy and water systems exist in an economic context that shapes their supply and use, which in turn shapes the macroeconomics of the country. A holistic energy-water-economics view is needed that links physical resource constraints, sectoral interdependencies, policy and managem...

Produced Water: A Potential Solution to Achieve America Energy Dominance
Produced water, a significant byproduct of oil and gas extraction, represents an underutilized water resource. However, the high salinity, presence of organics, and scale-forming compounds make it technically challenging to treat. Membrane desalination technologies suffer from fou...

Energy Needs for Water Supply Expansion in Urban Areas
Rising urban water demand requires new water supply provisioning in cities. Understanding and quantifying the energy-intensity of new water supply options can help planners identify pathways for water supply expansion with manageable energy requirements.
There is opportunity for ...
