    Workshop Report: Developing a Research Agenda for the Energy Water Nexus NSF Grant Number CBET 1341032 Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental and Transport Systems Sumanta Acharya, Thermal Transport Processes Bruce Hamilton, Environmental Sustainability Debra Reinhart, Environmental Engineering Principal Investigators: Mike Hightower Sandia National Laboratories Danny Reible Texas Tech University Michael Webber The University of Texas at Austin December 31, 2013 NSF Energy Water Nexus Workshop Page 1 of 45 December 2013 Report Summary: The energy water nexus has attracted public scrutiny because of the concerns about their interdependence and the possibility for cascading vulnerabilities from one system to the other. There are trends toward more water-intensive energy (such as biofuels , unconventional oil and gas production, and regulations driving more water consumption for thermoelectric power production ) and more energy-intensive water (such as desalination, or deeper ground water pumping and production). In addition demographic trends of population and economic growth will likely drive up total and per capita water and energy demand, and due to climate change related distortions of the hydrologic cycle, it is expected that the existing interdependencies will be come even more of a concern. Therefore, developing a research agenda and strategy to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and to meet economic and environmental targets for efficiently using energy and water would be very worthwhile. To address these concerns, the National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsored a workshop on June 10-11, 2013 in Arlington, VA (at NSF headquarters) to bring together technical, academic, and industry experts from across the country to help develop such a research agenda. The workshop was sponsored by NSF Grant Number CBET 1341032 from the Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental and Transport Systems.

And imagine that our city – Austin, Texas – is leading the evolution of America’s energy delivery system. I Residents and business owners across the city are seizing new opportunities to manage their energy use, enabled by modifications to Austin Energy’s system that allow for a real-time, two-way flow of energy and data. Customers who install solar or other renewable distributed generation equipment at their homes or businesses sell their excess power seamlessly back to the grid. Users are monitoring and managing their use and consumption online and on their phones as easily as they can pay bills or buy a movie ticket. his report is a narrative of the Austin Energy has transitioned to a new pricing system that not only al- Tdeliberations, assumptions, lows customers a real-time gauge of the true cost of energy, but also has conclusions and recommenda- tions of the Pecan Street Project helped the utility more aggressively control peak demand on Austin’s hot- team.
