Can water systems enhance grid stability? A study led by @StanfordWoods @WE3Lab found that water systems like desalination can shift up to 30% of their energy use during peak demand times, lowering costs and boosting grid resilience. Read more: stanford.io/4eIzOUv

How water systems can accelerate renewable energy adoption

As power grids rely more on renewable energy sources like wind and solar, balancing energy supply and demand becomes more challenging. A new analysis shows how water systems, such as desalination...

πŸ’§βš‘ Water resource recovery facilities could co-optimize costs & emissions with #energyflexibility. Our latest paper in @EnvSciTech from lab members Fletcher Chapin, Daly Wettermark, and Jose Bolorinos explores the tradeoffs. (1/3)

We estimate energy-related CO2e reductions of up to 16.8% when operating optimally-sized storage upgrades to minimize emissions. The reduction is smaller when co-optimizing for cost & emissions - a result of electric grid emission profile and electricity tariff misalignment (2/3)

Our latest paper formulates a computationally efficient and modular approach to reduce #desalination 🌊 energy costs by using time-based production scheduling. πŸ•™ Congratulations to Akshay (@raodoesresearch), Adam Atia (NETL) and Bernard Knueven (NREL)! buff.ly/402XTB5

β€œIf we’re going to reach net zero, we need demand-side energy solutions, and water systems represent a largely untapped resource.” Our latest paper, led by @raodoesresearch, reveals the water sector's potential to leverage energy flexibility. 🧡 buff.ly/4dubDYX

We define flexibility metrics which can help grid operators evaluate the magnitude and dispatchability of distributed energy resources in the water sector. We explore the financial implications by defining the Levelized Value of Flexibility, illustrated with a few case studies:

Carson Tucker, with Tim Bartholomew and Alex Dudchenko, isolated cost drivers of mechanical vapor compression for concentrating RO brines. They find opportunities to reduce costs with heat transfer and material innovation. Read the paper in Water Research: buff.ly/3WekU1K
