| description | This study presents an advanced co-optimization model for water–energy nexus systems (WENSs), illustrating considerable benefits in both energy conservation and cost reduction through synergistic operations. Case studies compare the co-optimized operations of a 33-bus power distribution network (PDN) coupled with a commercial-scale 15-node water distribution network (WDN) via water pumps and a standalone operations of a PDN and WDN, revealing that co-optimization notably decreases the operational costs for both networks by 23% and 49%, respectively, leading to substantial daily savings. In addition, this paper summarizes the current problems based on previous research, delineating the challenges in the co-optimization and management of WENSs, such as modeling inaccuracies, uncertainty management, and multi-stakeholder governance, providing meaningful insights and potential directions for future research. |
