Article Citation - Scopus: 1Contributions Toward Net-Zero Carbon in the Water Sector: Application to a Case Study(IWA Publishing, 2025-09-01) Ramos, Helena M.; Perez-Sanchez, Modesto; Correia, Tiago; Bekci, E.; Besharat, M.; Kuriqi, Alban; Coronado-Hernandez, Oscar E.This study presents an integrated smart water-energy nexus framework combining IoT-based water monitoring, hybrid renewables (hydropower/solar/wind), and AI-driven optimization. Real-time sensor data enables automated grid management, while AI analytics optimize operations and predict maintenance needs through a closed-loop system. The solution achieves bidirectional energy exchange, with the full hybrid system (G + H + PV + W) reducing costs by 41.5% (<euro>831K) and LCOE by 57.2% (<euro>0.0475/kWh). Financial analysis confirms viability with 26.4% IRR and 3.8-year payback, while achieving negative CO2 emissions (-160,476 kg/year). Progressive renewable integration enhances all key performance indicators (KPIs), cutting OPEX by 89.9% (<euro>7,156/year) through optimized operations. Dual water-energy performance metrics (leakage, pressure, % renewable share) ensure balanced and sustainable grid management. Key innovations include IoT-energy synergy, AI-driven predictive maintenance, and circular resource efficiency. The framework demonstrates how smart water grids can achieve both economic and environmental benefits through renewable energy integration and advanced digital solutions.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Microgrid Environmental Impact(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020-09-28) Al-Agtash, Salem Y.; al-Hashem, Mohammad; Batarseh, Mohanad; Bintoudi, Angelina D.; Tsolakis, Apostolos Charalampos; Tzovaras, Dimitrios K.; Hadjidemetriou, Lenos; Khiat, MounirPower plants have bad impacts on the environment. One of these impacts is Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emission resulted from power plants that depend on fossil fuel, oil and natural gas. Renewable energy is considered as an important solution for this problem since it is classified as clean and environmentally friendly source of energy and helps reducing the dependency on conventional power plants. High renewable energy penetration into power systems is a big challenge that can be solved by deploying the concept of smart Micro-Grids. This paper presents a study on how much reduction of CO2 emission can be resulted from deploying smart micro-grid concept on a university campus, German Jordanian University (GJU) campus was taken as a pilot. The micro-grid is meant to operate according to an optimum resource scheduling framework that guarantee a minimum operational cost while achieving high local power availability. © 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
