Coordination of the Water Supply System and the Power Grid to Support System Performance

Room: BC141, Bldg: D.J. Bordini Center at FVTC, 5 N. Systems Drive, Appleton, Wisconsin, United States, 54914

Large amounts of renewable energy sources (e.g., solar photovoltaics and wind power) and new electric loads (e.g., plug-in electric vehicles) are being added to the electric power grid in a push to mitigate the effects of climate change. Due to the intermittent and uncertain nature of these resources, more flexibility is needed to ensure safe operating conditions of the power grid. A growing body of research has shown that real-time control of flexible electric loads can provide flexibility to the power grid. The water supply system (including drinking water distribution and wastewater treatment processes) can be treated as flexible, controllable assets. For instance, the power consumption of water supply pumps in drinking water distribution networks and biogas electricity generation can be shifted in time given the storage capabilities of water and pressurized gas tanks, respectively. In this talk, I will present an optimization framework to optimally schedule and control assets within the water supply system to provide services to power networks. Throughout the talk, I will discuss the associated benefits and drawbacks of the integrated water-power optimization framework, with a particular focus on performance, resilience, and computational tractability. This presentation will count for 1 Professional Development Hour (PDH) for the PE License in Wisconsin and Michigan.
