Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to systems and methods for atmospheric water generation using curtailed renewable energy. Embodiments of the systems and methods described herein may include an atmospheric water generator (AWG) system configured to selectively generate water from ambient air located at a first elevation, a water storage and distribution system configured to store at least a portion of the water generated by the AWG system located at a second elevation equal to or less than the first elevation, and an energy generation system configured to receive at least a portion of the stored water from the water storage and distribution system located at a third elevation less than the first elevation and the second elevation. The energy generation system may be configured to convert a potential energy of the received water into energy.

Abstract: A mobile atmospheric water generation (AWG) system may comprise a water generation unit configured to transition between an inactive state and active state, wherein: in the active state, the water generation unit is configured to generate liquid water from atmospheric air; and in the inactive state, a liquid water generation function of the water generation unit is suspended. The mobile AWG system may comprise an orientation sensor configured to generate a reading indicating a tilt angle of the mobile AWG system relative to a horizontal plane. The mobile AWG system may further comprise a computing device configured to: obtain, from the orientation sensor, the tilt angle of the mobile AWG system based on the at least one reading; and in response to a determination that the tilt angle of the mobile AWG system satisfies a predetermined threshold, transition the water generation unit from the active state to the inactive state.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a closed-loop water system. The closed-loop water system may include an atmospheric water generator (AWG) module configured to extract water from ambient air, a greywater recycling module with a membrane bioreactor for treating greywater, water storage units, a humidification module integrated with the AWG and recycling modules, a natural treatment module with a biome for additional natural treatment, and a control and monitoring module with an AI-based controller. The AWG module, greywater recycling module, and humidification module may operate in tandem to form a closed loop, minimizing external water input. The system may extract atmospheric water to compensate for losses and supplement supply, while continuously reusing treated greywater. The AI-based controller may monitor system parameters and automatically adjusts operations based on real-time data and environmental conditions.

Abstract: An integrated data center resource system includes an absorption cooling subsystem thermally coupled to a hot exhaust stream and configured to produce chilled coolant for cooling data center equipment. A desiccant-based water harvesting subsystem receives at least a portion of the hot exhaust stream to regenerate a moisture-absorbing desiccant, extract water vapor from ambient air, and release and condense liquid water. A carbon capture subsystem downstream of the cooling and water harvesting subsystems removes carbon dioxide from cooled exhaust gas. A control system dynamically allocates the hot exhaust stream among the subsystems to simultaneously provide cooling, recover water, and reduce carbon emissions.

Abstract: A device comprising a photosensitive sorbent material is configured to concentrate a target chemical species. The photosensitive sorbent material has a stepped Type F-IV isotherm profile with a high working capacity and can adsorb the target chemical species in a porous open phase. The photosensitive material can be converted into a less porous closed phase upon exposure to light of a certain wavelength through a photochemical transformation to allow for desorption and collection of the target chemical species. The photosensitive material can be converted back to the open phase upon exposure to light of a different wavelength for regeneration and this process can be repeated cycles of adsorption and desorption.

Abstract: An atmospheric water generation system absorbs water from an atmospheric air stream into a desiccant flowing along a flow path of a closed desiccant circulation loop. An amount of water output by the atmospheric water generation system depends on an energy expenditure and environmental conditions at the location of the system. To optimize the performance of the atmospheric water generation system, the system includes controllers and a control system that are configured initiate one or more atmospheric water generation operations based on time-based energy predictions for the system. The time-based energy predictions are generated using machine learning models that learn correlations between optimization inputs aggregated from a plurality of different sources and the performance of the atmospheric water generation system.

Abstract: A coating comprising a photosensitive sorbent composition is configured to be able to modulate the spectral signature of an object. The photosensitive sorbent composition has a stepped Type F-IV isotherm profile and can switch between a porous open phase which absorbs electromagnetic radiation and a less porous closed phase which reflects electromagnetic radiation. The photosensitive material can be converted to the closed phase upon exposure to light of a first wavelength through a photochemical transformation to allow for an object coated in the photosensitive material to be detectable by reflecting electromagnetic radiation. The photosensitive material can be converted from the open phase to the closed phase upon exposure to light of a second wavelength to camouflage an object coated the photosensitive by absorbing electromagnetic radiation.
