The water-energy nexus at water supply and its implications on the integrated water and energy management.

摘要: Abstract Water and energy are highly interdependent in the modern world, hence, it is important to understand their constantly changing nonlinear interconnections inform integrated management of water energy. In this study, a hydrologic model, systems an model were developed into system dynamics modeling framework. This framework was then applied supply northeast US capture its water-energy interactions under set future population, climate, operation scenarios. A first used simulate system's inflows outflows temperature precipitation changes on weekly-basis. that combines rules (e.g., release transfer) dynamically storage head. Outputs from estimate hydropower generation. It found critical synergies tradeoffs exist, there possibility for achieve better outcomes. analysis also shows importance holistic understanding as whole, which would allow utility managers make proactive long-term decisions. The generalizable other with generation capacities resources.
