Over the years, power systems have been severely affected by extreme events. This
situation has worsened given that climate change has proven to exacerbate their frequency …

Historical tropical cyclones (TCs) are usually insufficient in determining extreme hazards
due to limited data. This study developed a full-track stochastic model to generate synthetic …

This paper proposes a comprehensive wind-induced performance evaluation framework for
transmission tower-line systems (TTLSs) from both structural safety and normal operation …

The Texas power grid on the Gulf Coast of the United States is frequently hit by tropical
cyclones (TCs) causing widespread power outages, a risk that is expected to substantially …

This paper aims to develop a linear two-stage optimization problem based on an attacker-
defender resilient planning (AD-RP) model to improve the power system's operational and …

The increasing severity and occurrence of multiple hazards attributed to climate change
exacerbate the failure risk of infrastructure systems. This paper proposes a Kriging-based …

Structures in a power transmission network, such as towers and conductors, are vulnerable
to hurricanes. Failures of these structures trip transmission lines and usually result in large …

Stochastic unit commitment is an efficient method for grid operation in the presence of
significant uncertainties. An example is an operation during a predicted hurricane with …

Wind fragility is essential to performance-based wind engineering, risk, and resilience
assessment for transmission towers. However, it has not been sufficiently studied due to the …

A small number of the strongest windstorms can account for a major share of power
interruptions. In addition to large direct costs, such windstorms may shift the strategic …
