Evaluating Water-Energy Nexus related Water Saving Potentials of Residential Households with Solar PV and Electric Storage. Schiller, Jonas; Pruckner, Marco. In Proceedings of the 11th ACM International Conference on Systems for Energy-Efficient Buildings, Cities, and Transportation, of BuildSys ’24, pp. 159–163.

The energy sector is one of the largest consumers of water in Europe. As water scarcity has a severe impact on nature and human health, energy related water consumption, similar as for CO2 emissions, should be included in an environmental assessment. This study investigates the indirect water usage of households through their energy consumption based on a case study for two European countries, Germany and Spain. We calculate the water consumption of several thousand individual residential households based on their electricity consumption and the water intensity of the electric grid in an hourly resolution. Additionally, we investigate the effect of residential photovoltaic and battery electric storage systems on the water consumption and contrast potential optimization strategies towards high self-consumption and water consumption minimization. Our results show that the introduction of a small 0.89 kWp solar system can already reduce indirect water consumption by on average 20 % while a battery and solar photovoltaic system optimized for minimal water consumption achieves a mean reduction of over 40 % in Spain and 25 % in Germany.
