A system dynamics model to quantify the impacts of restoration measures on the water-energy-food nexus in the Urmia lake Basin, Iran

Bakhshianlamouki E., Masia S., Karimi P., van der Zaag P., (Corresponding) Susnik J.

Topic:

Water, energy and/or food nexus

Water scarcity exacerbated by growing demand has created environmental, social, and economic challenges in the Urmia Lake Basin (ULB), Iran. Tackling these requires an integrated approach. A System Dynamics Model is developed simulating the water-energy-food nexus in the ULB as a holistic multi-...Read more

Perspectives, challenges and directions for future research into the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus

(Corresponding) Susnik J., Staddon C.

Topic:

Water, energy and/or food nexus

In 2018, Albrecht et al. published a review of water-energy-food (WEF) nexus literature, coming to five main criticisms in nexus research. The five central conclusions of that review together with a consideration of on-going projects and recent nexus research insights form the basis for this...Read more

A Water-Based Approach for Addressing RES Integration Challenges in Insular Energy Systems

(Corresponding) Tzanes G., Makropoulos C., Zafirakis D., Kaldellis J., Stamou A.

Topic:

Water, energy and/or food nexus

High shares of RES-based power capacity in island electricity grids often imply significant energy curtailments of non-dispatchable power generation, which in turn limits islands’ capacity to leverage RES environmental and economic benefits. The presence of energy storage systems and/or grid...Read more

Energy recovery from urea in decentralised wastewater streams

Asiain-Mira R., Zamora P., Rogalla F., Monsalvo V., (Corresponding) Torrente-Murciano L.

Topic:

Water, energy and/or food nexus

This work presents the design of a new process that enables energy recovery from wastewater, based on the selective adsorption of urea from urine and its subsequent decomposition into hydrogen. Removal of nitrogen compounds is at the core of wastewater treatment, as their uncontrolled discharge...Read more
