Water System Modernization using Advanced and Resilient Technologies (WaterSMART)
This white paper presents a comprehensive vision for modernizing U.S. water and water-energy infrastructure through advanced, resilient, and energy-integrated technologies. It highlights the pressing challenges posed by aging treatment plants, distribution systems, and stormwater ...
DeNeale, S., Chavez, L., and Chu, A.
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...

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...
Plaza, J., and Andrade, F.
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...

Energy/Water Operation Smart Contract for Hydropower Plant/Data Centers
We propose an Energy/Water Operation Smart Contract that securely coordinates hydropower plant operations with energy-intensive data-center clusters using Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). The smart contract provides a decentralized, tamper-resistant layer for operational contr...
Hink, R., Piesciorovsky, E., Hahn, G., Werth, A., and Wang, H.
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...
