Analysis of single- and multi-family residential electricity consumption in a large urban environment
Balancing cost, water, emissions, and reliability in power systems operations
Traditionally, large-scale thermoelectric power generation has been operated to reduce system operational costs. To expedite the mitigation of the harmful effects of climate change, many have proposed additional incentives for system operation (i.e. policies) that incorporate greenhouse gas emissions. However, such policies rarely consider unforeseen impacts on the volumes of water required for cooling thermoelectric plants as well as the potenti…
A mass balance approach to urban water analysis using multi‐resolution data
With a growing urban population and increasing climate uncertainty, it is necessary to quantitatively understand the flux of resources through cities, specifically energy and water resources. Many methods exist to analyze the urban energy–water nexus based on either physical characteristics of the system or using available data. While data‐driven approaches can be valuable, they are often challenging to duplicate on a large scale due to data avai…
Exposure of urban food–energy–water (FEW) systems to water scarcity
Evaluation of power generation operations in response to changes in surface water reservoir storage
We used a customized, river basin-based model of surface water rights to evaluate the response \nof power plants to drought via simulated changes in reservoir storage. Our methodology \nmodels surface water rights in 11 river basins in Texas using five cases: (1) storage decrease of \nexisting capacity of 10%, (2) storage decrease of 50%, (3) complete elimination of storage, \n(4) storage increase of 10% (all at existing locations), and (5) const…
Clean energy and water
Technical analysis of a river basin-based model of advanced power plant cooling technologies for mitigating water management challenges
Thermoelectric power plants require large volumes of water for cooling, which can introduce \ndrought vulnerability and compete with other water needs. Alternative cooling technologies, such as \ncooling towers and hybrid wet–dry or dry cooling, present opportunities to reduce water diversions. \nThis case study uses a custom, geographically resolved river basin-based model for eleven river \nbasins in the state of Texas (the Brazos and San Jacin…

The Energy-Water Nexus in Texas
Understanding the nexus between energy and water -water used for energy and energy used for water -has become increasing important in a changing world. As growing populations demand more energy supplies and water resources, research aims to analyze the interconnectedness of these two resources. Our study sought to quantify the energy-water relationship in Texas, specifically the relationship between electricity generation and water resources as i…
