Planning for Uncertainty in Coupled Water-Power Distribution Networks (NSF)
Description: Water distribution networks generally act as passive loads on power distribution networks; however, water pumping could be actively used to help manage distribution network constraints and provide balancing services in systems with high penetrations of distributed energy resources. We are developing stochastic approaches to operate and control coupled water and power distribution networks with the aim of improving the performance and economics of both.
