Integrated water-power system resiliency quantification, challenge and opportunity

Abstract

Resiliency has been studied in the power and water systems separately. Often the resiliency study is not so comprehensive as to understand interdependent, integrated water and power systems. This research outlines the relevant factors necessary to understand and advance quantification of such integrated systems. It also presents a review of integrated water-power systems resiliency. Based on literature survey and identification of challenges, the authors present quantification and computational steps needed to understand integrated water-power systems resiliency. A conceptual framework is proposed to quantify integrated water-power system resiliency. Finally, the authors presented an opportunity for improved water and power system resilience.
