POWER GRID RESILIENCE AGAINST NATURAL DISASTERS How to protect our
power grids in the face of extreme weather events The field of
structural and operational resilience of power systems,
particularly against natural disasters, is of obvious importance in
light of climate change and the accompanying increase in
hurricanes, wildfires, tornados, frigid temperatures, and more.
Addressing these vulnerabilities in service is a matter of
increasing diligence for the electric power industry, and as such,
targeted studies and advanced technologies are being developed to
help address these issues generally--whether they be from the
threat of cyber-attacks or of natural disasters. Power Grid
Resilience against Natural Disasters provides, for the first time,
a comprehensive and systematic introduction to resilience-enhancing
planning and operation strategies of power grids against extreme
events. It addresses, in detail, the three necessary steps to
ensure power grid success: the preparedness prior to natural
disasters, the response as natural disasters unfold, and the
recovery after the event. Crucially, the authors put forward
state-of-the-art methods towards improving today's practices in
managing these three arenas. Power Grid Resilience against Natural
Disasters readers will also find: Data, tables, and illustrations
to supplement and clarify the points put forward in each chapter
Case studies on realistic power systems and industry standards and
practices related to the topics covered Potential to be a
supplementary text in advanced level power engineering courses
Power Grid Resilience against Natural Disasters will be of interest
to specialists and engineers, as well as planners and operators
from industry. It can also be a useful resource for senior
undergraduate students, postgraduate students, researchers, and
research libraries. More, it will appeal to all readers with a
strong background in power system analysis, operation and control,
optimization methods, the Markov decision process, and probability
and statistics.
