Maximizing American Energy Dominance with Forecasts of Energy Infrastructure Flood Exposure and AI Predictions of Consequences
This white paper focuses on water for energy.
High frequency, reliable, and spatially explicit flood forecasts are necessary to forecast impacts to the energy system from hydrological hazards. While these tools are nearing operation at scale, they have not yet been systematicall...

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 ...

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...

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...
Patelli, P., Solander, K., Gonzalez-Esquer, R., Xu, C., Bower, C., Davis, R., Carruthers, J., and Thomas, J.
Energy-Water System Resilience to Flooding
This white paper addresses the resilience challenges and opportunities within interdependent energy-water systems, particularly under the stress of flooding events. It describes how large-scale flood events impact these systems, posing risks such as operational constraints, infras...
McPherson, T., Giovando, J., Hou, H., Daniel, B., Bracken, C., Li, X., and Bixler, T.
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...

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...
Szinai, J., and Callaway, D.
Energy-Efficient Water Management Using Geo-AI for Evapotranspiration and Crop Risk Analysis
This white paper outlines a strategy for enhancing energy-efficient water management in agriculture through the application of Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI). The focus is on developing a Dynamic Irrigation Window Scheduling (DIWS) system that optimizes irrigation base...

Reinforcement Learning for Water-Energy Infrastructure Resilience and Evolution
This white paper outlines a foundational AI-based framework for improving resilience across the energy-water nexus, with a focus on electric grid and water system interdependencies under hydrologic and weather extremes. The focal area spans both "water for energy" and "energy for ...

Building Resilient Energy-Water Systems: Integrated Modeling, Scenario Selection, and Near-Term Decision Support
U.S. energy and water systems are increasingly interdependent, often leading to cascading and compounding system failures when faced with acute and chronic hazards. Such stressors propagate across multiple spatial scales, typically starting with changing earth system dynamics (for...
