Water Energy Nexus - Model

This dataset contains the SATIM-W model runs and assumptions for the study.The interdependency between water and energy is growing in importance
as demands for both water and energy increase. Several regions of the
world are already experiencing water and energy security challenges,
which adversely affect sustainable economic growth. In addition, the
world’s population is expected to grow, which will in turn increase
demand for water and energy, especially in fast-growing developing
countries.
The project aims to represent the evolving cost of water to the
technologies represented in an energy system’s planning model, ERC’s
SATIM model, by representing the planned augmentation schemes for key
water supply regions to 2050 and their projected costs and capacities.
This will thus be a water-smart energy planning model (SATIM-W) which is
hoped will give powerful insights into infrastructure decisions when
combined with climate scenarios.

本数据集收录了SATIM-W模型的运行结果及假设。随着对水和能源需求的不断上升，水与能源之间的相互依存性日益凸显。全球多个地区已面临水安全和能源安全挑战，这些挑战对可持续经济增长产生了不利影响。此外，全球人口预计将持续增长，进而导致对水和能源的需求增加，尤其是在快速发展的发展中国家。项目旨在通过呈现至2050年关键供水区域规划扩充方案及其预计成本和容量，反映能源系统规划模型中ERC的SATIM模型所代表的水资源的演变成本。因此，这将形成一个智能用水能源规划模型（SATIM-W），并有望在结合气候情景时，为基础设施决策提供深刻的洞见。
