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...
Giovando, J., Chen, T., Fang, Y., Feng, S., McPherson, T., Regier, P., and Wang, T.
Employing AI-Enabled Prognostics for Energy-Water Resilience
This white paper focuses on strengthening the resilience and efficiency of hydropower systems at the energy-water nexus through AI-enabled prognostics and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation. It emphasizes integrating digital intelligence with physical infrastructure to optimize...

A Multi-Scale Integrated Assessment Model for How Emerging Biotechnologies Can Contribute to Decoupling Energy and Water Systems
Energy-water (EW) systems in the U.S. are deeply interconnected through complex networks vulnerable to disruptions, such as when a regional drought simultaneously impacts hydropower generation, thermoelectric production, and water availability across multiple sectors, producing kn...

Advancing Energy-Water Resilience in Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. Territories
Challenges facing Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. Territories for both "energy for water" and "water for energy" are distinctive from the contiguous U.S. In this whitepaper, we discuss opportunities for new hydropower development and non-traditional water-energy linkages in these regions...

Gaps Between Western U.S. Reservoir Inflows and Headwater Precipitation Timing, Amount, and Phase
Snowmelt from mountain headwater basins supplies approximately 80% of the runoff to reservoirs in the western United States (WUS), and is therefore a key component of western hydropower. Yet predicting runoff from hydrometeorological data in complex terrain (and its sensitivity to...
