ESIC Power Group Seminar – Ensuring power system resilience against extreme weather events: challenges and opportunities, Dr. Josue Prado, WSU Vancouver

About the event

Extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, wildfires, and ice storms have been an escalating problem in many countries for decades, causing devastating damage to property and human life. In particular, the power grid been significantly affected by such events, which have caused significant damage along with large and extended blackouts in several regions, thus pressing utilities, system operators, and policy makers to prioritize the development of tools and methods to enhance the power grid resilience during those events. This talk aims to present some recent works on power system resilience against extreme weather events conducted by the Power Systems Research Group (PSRG) at WSU Vancouver. The talk will also briefly present select challenges, barriers, and opportunities for future research and development in this important area.
