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 ...

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...

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...

Integrated Energy-Water Data for Cross-Sector Resilience
Disjointed management of water and energy systems has created systemic vulnerabilities in the United States, particularly as aging infrastructure, population and industrial growth, and severe weather events strain both sectors. High-quality, standardized datasets like those provid...

A Coupled Energy-Water Storage Architecture for Resilient Urban Power and Water Distribution
This white paper proposes a coupled energy-water storage architecture to enhance the resilience of urban power and water distribution networks. The concept leverages GLIDES concept (Ground-Level Integrated Diverse Energy Storage), which is a pneumo-hydraulic storage technology dev...
