MV underground cable systems are one of the main assets in electrical distribution
infrastructures in densely populated urban areas. Experience of several distribution …

The existing electricity infrastructures are increasingly challenged by the frequency and
intensity of natural adverse events as most of their assets have been built to operate in …

The electrical distribution network (EDN) is a critical infrastructure that plays a primary role in
a person's life. Its resilience is a primary property to be achieved in order to withstand all …

In the last years, the frequency and the intensity of adverse meteorological conditions are on
the rise and climate changes have the potential to affect negatively the electrical systems in …

The analysis of soil thermal properties is essential for the design, choice and installation of
underground cables, as improper installations can often lead to premature failures. Indeed …

The paper presents a procedure able to assess the resilience of an electrical network, as
well as to identify remedial actions that allow the system operator to reduce the impact of a …

Electrical distribution networks deliver a fundamental service to citizens. However, they are
still highly vulnerable to natural hazards as well as to cyberattacks; therefore, additional …

The quality of any electricity transmission service is based on the ability to ensure continuity
of the electricity supply in compliance with adequate voltage and frequency values over …

Traditional reliability analysis tools for electrical systems must be advanced to represent the
potential impacts from climate change and other natural hazards and must embed system-of …

Electrical distribution networks (EDN) are still very vulnerable to natural hazards, including
earthquakes. Tools and methods are needed to support and demonstrate the business case …
