Assessing the Costs and Benefits of Resilience Investments: Tennessee Valley Authority Case Study

A Spatiotemporal Sequence Forecasting Platform to Advance the Prediction of Changing Spatiotemporal Patterns of CO₂ Concentration by Incorporating Human Activity and Hydrological Extremes

“…The capability for superimposing a drought scenario on a specific location under future climate will be provided (e.g., Allen et al [2017]) by using the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and the relationship between the lack of precipitation and water scarcity during relevant historical periods for locations of interest as a basis for incremental adjustments in water availability estimates for future dates. Furthermore, the cumulative effects of evapotranspiration and projected consumptive water use can be included to modify surface water levels.…”

Extreme Weather and Climate Vulnerabilities of the Electric Grid: A Summary of Environmental Sensitivity Quantification Methods

“…Many studies have found a linear relationship between annual runoff and generation [50,96]. Some have found a strong linear correlation between streamflow anomalies, expressed as deviations from historic averages, and generation anomalies [8]. However, the relationship between runoff and climate and weather variables such as temperature and precipitation is complicated by evaporation loss (from high ambient temperatures) and watershed storage, including snowpack.…”

A survey of analytical methods for inclusion in a new energy-water nexus knowledge discovery framework

“…Similarly, some regionspecific functions, as in one for the Colorado River Basin, show that every 1% decrease in streamflow causes power generation to decrease by 3% (Karl, 2009). Additional research examining vulnerabilities to hydropower output uses a Bayesian approach to examine correlations between streamflow anomalies, expressed as deviations from historic averages, and generation anomalies (Allen, Wilbanks, Preston, Kao, & Bradbury, 2017).…”
