Energy Water Nexus Resilience Analysis Using Integrated Resource Allocation Approach
Hesan Elfaki, Mohammad Lameh, Dhabia M. Al-Mohannadi
June 27, 2025
Abstract
This work presents a macroscopic, high-level representation of the interconnected nexus system, utilizing a resource allocation model to capture the interactions between the power and water subsystems. The model is employed to assess the system's performance under various external stressor impact scenarios, determining the thresholds at which the system can no longer maintain a continuous supply of functional services (i.e. power and water), which reveal the system's vulnerabilities. Resilience metrics are incorporated to interpret these results and characterize the nexus performance. The proposed methodology is generalizable, and its capabilities will be demonstrated through a case study on the energy-water nexus in the Gulf Cooperation Council region.
