Abstract
This research explores the joint expansion planning of power and water distribution networks, which exhibit interdependence at various levels. We specifically focus on the dependency arising from the power consumption of pumps and develop models to seamlessly integrate new components into existing networks. Subsequently, we formulate the joint expansion planning as a Mixed Integer Nonlinear Program (MINLP). Through the application of this MINLP to a small-scale test network, we demonstrate the advantages of combining expansion planning, including cost savings and reduced redundancy, in comparison to independently expanding power and water distribution networks
