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...
Plaza, J., and Andrade, F.
Multisector Energy-Water Management
This white paper focuses on energy-water supply, storage, transmission, and demand across multiple sectors.
Challenges include separate planning, operation, and management of energy and water; compounding sectors compete for energy and water supplies; increase in risk and uncerta...
