osmosis, membrane bioreactors, and electrodialysis reversal. It includes a comparison with theoretical energy efficiencies and an identification of the factors affecting energy consumption at ten different treatment facilities. Project partner: California Energy Commission. Ongoing projects “Review of International Desalination Research” Project #3055 The project will develop a searchable database of current international desalination technology research and development efforts that will include a list of organizations, abstracts, reference documents, potential impacts on cost and energy and an updated status of research efforts. Project period 2006 to 2009. Project partner: California Energy Commission. “Desalination Facility Design and Operation for Maximum Energy Efficiency” Project #4038 The research will compile and analyze data from operating brackish (ground and surface), seawater, and wastewater membrane desalination facilities to result in recommendations for the design and operation of desalination facilities to maximize energy efficiency and reduce energy use and costs, and will also investigate the relationships between plant location, design, operation and maintenance, and energy use and cost. Project period: Project partner: California Energy Commission Decision Support System for Sustainable Energy Management” Project 4090 The research project will compile a list of tools to assist water utilities with energy management and information gathered using the tools, as well as case studies to develop a decision support tool that will allow utilities to explore and quantify the economic, environmental, and social impacts of various energy management options. “Evaluating Effects of Climate Change on Water Utility Planning Criteria and Design Standards” Project 4154 The tailored collaboration project will evaluate current planning criteria and design standards for effects due to future climate modification with the purpose of assisting water utilities in the engineering of new facilities. The purpose of the project is to evaluate current planning criteria and design standards for effects due to future climate modification with the purpose of assisting water utilities in the engineering of new facilities. This project will use four case studies from west coast agencies in Seattle, San Diego County Water Authority, Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area. Energy and greenhouse gas emission reduction will be a component. Project period: 2008 – 2009. “Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventory Guidance, Specialty Protocol Development, and Management Strategies for Water Utilities” Project 4156 The tailored collaboration project with Santa Clara Valley Water District will develop tools to assist water utilities across the United States and Canada to prepare greenhouse gas (GHG) emission inventories using a systematic and consistent methodology. The research team will coordinate with California Climate Action Registry (CCAR) so that the CCAR considers GWRC Water & Energy - Draft report 48
drafting the protocol as part of their GHG inventory and reporting process. Project period: 2008 – 2009. “A New Water Source: Can Fuel Cells Provide Safe and Cost-Effective Potable Water Sources?” Project #4139 This unsolicited research project will assess the viability of integrating fuel cell technologies into the toolbox of options for municipal water providers by quantifying the net water yield, water quality, and net energy output from different types of fuel cells. It will investigate whether fuel cells can be operated to maximize water production instead of energy production and will assess whether additional treatment of fuel cell water is needed to serve as potable water.
