Abstract

The overarching goal of this paper is to explore innovative ways to adapt existing urban infrastructure to achieve a greener and more resilient city, specifically on synergies between the power grid, the wastewater treatment system, and community development in low-lying coastal areas. This study addresses the technical feasibility, benefits, and barriers of using wastewater resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) as community-scale microgrids. These microgrids will act as central resilience and community development hubs, enabling the adoption of renewable energy and the provision of ongoing services under emergency conditions. Load flow modeling and analysis were carried out using real network data for a case study in New York City (NYC). The results validate the hypothesis that distributed energy resources (DERs) at WRRFs can play a role in improving grid operation and resiliency.

基于废水资源回收设施的社区微电网对电网的影响

本文的总体目标是探讨如何以创新的方式改造现有的城市基础设施，以实现更环保、更具弹性的城市，特别是电网、污水处理系统和低洼沿海地区社区发展之间的协同作用。本研究探讨了将废水资源回收设施 (WRRF) 用作社区级微电网的技术可行性、优势和障碍。这些微电网将作为中央恢复能力和社区发展中心，能够采用可再生能源并在紧急情况下提供持续服务。在纽约市（NYC）的一个案例研究中，使用真实网络数据进行了负荷流建模和分析。研究结果验证了以下假设，即 WRRF 的分布式能源资源（DER）可在改善电网运行和恢复能力方面发挥作用。
