Managing Systemic Interdependence within Energy-Water-Transportation Systems
This white paper discusses the complex interdependence between energy, water, and transportation (EWT) systems, which underpins critical infrastructure and supply chains. Failures in any of these systems can cause cascading disruptions across the others due to their tight integrat...

Quantifying Energy Use across U.S. Water Sectors: A Scalable AI/ML-Driven Framework for Data Integration and Resilience Planning
This white paper explores opportunities to quantify and characterize energy use across major U.S. water sectors, including irrigation, water supply, and water treatment, with a focus on energy for water dimension. A scalable AI/ML-driven framework will be developed to harmonize fr...

Water for Baseload Power-A Revamp of the Nation's Nuclear Water Use Data
Providing approximately 20% of total U.S. electricity generation each year from a fleet of only 54 plants (94 reactors) nationwide, the nuclear sector is characterized by large and locally impactful power generating facilities. About half of existing reactors rely on once-through ...

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...

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...

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...
