Challenges in operationalizing the water–energy–food nexus
Concerns about the water–energy–food (WEF) nexus have motivated many discussions regarding new approaches for managing water, energy and food resources. Despite the progress in recent years, there remainmany challenges in scientific research on theWEF nexus, while implementation as a management tool is just beginning. The scientific challenges are primarily related to data, information and know...
متن کاملModeling of water, energy, food nexus in Varamin city and evaluating its social and environmental sustainability
Population growth, growing scarcity of freshwater resources and food security have convinced all operators that spending large sums of money on cross-cutting responses to water, energy and food needs, especially in the face of climate change and global warming, is unreasonable.According to the latest classification of the International Geographical Organization, Iran is located in the category ...
متن کاملThe Carbon-Water Interface: Modeling Challenges and Opportunities for the Water-Energy Nexus.
Providing clean water and sufficient affordable energy to all without compromising the environment is a key priority in the scientific community. Many recent studies have focused on carbon-based devices in the hope of addressing this grand challenge, justifying and motivating detailed studies of water in contact with carbonaceous materials. Such studies are becoming increasingly important becau...
متن کاملTechnical-economic analysis of the combined system power generation, production of fresh water and cooling production
In gas power plants, a lot of energy is lost in the form of heat more than the electricity produced. In the present research, techno-economic evaluation of combined power, desalination and cooling systems running by the exhaust flue gases of a gas turbine in Iran is performed. In addition to using power generated by the gas turbine, attempts were made to use Organic Rankine Cycle to recover the...
متن کاملAssessment of Wind Energy Use to Store the Water for Generation Power with Two Stage Optimization Method
In recent years, energy predicament and environmental problems in the world caused by fossil fuels combustion make us to pay serious attention to optimizing energy consumption and using renewable energies. One of the potential renewable energies which can be helpful in electricity generation is harness wind and water energy or using these two kinds of energy simultaneously. In this study, to pr...
