High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) effects on Energy-Water resilience
Executive Order 13865 emphasizes the need to focus on critical infrastructure resilience to high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) effects, indicating that simulation of EMP effects on both energy and water systems need to be studied. The key technical challenges in assessing ...

Quantifying compound hazard risk to energy and water systems
The focal area is identification and quantification of the risk of combined (compound) hazards on water and energy systems and their interactions. The existing challenge is addressing risk and consequences to energy and water systems by compound hazards is an emerging area of stud...

A Framework for Improving Locational Marginal Price Estimates for Technoeconomic Analysis of Hydropower Investments and Operational Decisions
The focus is on improving the analytics supporting hydropower investment decisions through the more accurate characterization of the locational marginal prices (LMPs) that will define future energy payments. Enhanced analytics around LMP prediction could also be used to improve op...
Balducci, P., DeSomber, K., and Zhou, Z.
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...

Unlocking Small-scale Hydropower using Water Infrastructure for National Energy Security
Reliable local energy generation and long-duration energy storage are critical to balancing peak demands and providing distributed emergency backup near both urban and rural populations. However, small-scale (< 10 MW) hydropower faces barriers, including siting, permitting, water ...

Harnessing water system flexibility for grid resilience
With new critical infrastructure that require uninterrupted power supplies (such as data centers that support the AI boom) and a rising share of intermittent generation sources on the grid, there is a growing need for flexibility in grid resources which can ramp up or down quickly...

GORMan: A framework for Governance, Ontologies, and Risk Management of scalable, cross-sector integration of secure energy-water infrastructure information
This white paper addresses the inherent challenges in applying data-driven approaches to integrated energy-water solutions across the US due to the lack of standardization in collection, storage, governance, management, curation and risk mitigation among data owners across scales...

Minimizing Costs and Risk for Rural Water Systems
Many rural and remote populations either lack access to treated water supplies or are served by water systems that are at risk from increasing contaminant concentrations, aging infrastructure, unreliable supplies, and/or groundwater depletion. Recent research has shown that these ...

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...

Supporting adoption of advanced forecast informed reservoir operations tools to improve agricultural and municipal water and energy outcomes
Expanding the use of advanced forecast-informed reservoir operations tools can optimize or improve water delivery and storage for energy generation, irrigation, and municipal uses. Advanced forecast-informed data and tools are increasingly being integrated into large-scale reservo...
