Faults on overhead power line infrastructures in electric power distribution systems (DSs)
can potentially ignite catastrophic wildfires, especially in areas exposed to high wind …

Climate change leads to extreme climate events that result in frequent wildfires that cause
numerous adverse societal impacts. Public Safety Power Shutoffs, adopted by utilities to …

Mitigating and adapting to climate change requires decarbonizing electricity while ensuring
resilience of supply, since a warming planet will lead to greater extremes in weather and …

Microgrids are emerging to mitigate the degradation in grid resiliency and reliability resulting
from an increasing frequency of grid outages. Because microgrids incorporate a local source …

Abstract The Optimal Power Shutoff (OPS) problem is an optimization problem that makes
power line de-energization decisions in order to reduce the risk of igniting a wildfire, while …

Electric grid faults are increasingly the source of ignition for major wildfires. To reduce the
likelihood of such ignitions in high risk situations, utilities use preemptive de‐energization of …

Extreme events such as wildfires and winter storms result in disruptions to grid-based
electricity delivery. Electricity supply disruptions are both reactive, whereby specific events …

Electric grid faults are increasingly the source of ignition for major wildfires. To reduce the
likelihood of such ignitions in high risk situations, utilities use pre-emptive deenergization of …

Natural disasters and cyber-physical attacks can cause massive damage to physical
infrastructure like the power grid. The impacts from widespread and long duration outages …

The implementation of an effective wildfire early warning system can significantly enhance
the ability of the grid to detect potential outages. In addition, the strategic deployment of …
