This project aims to elucidate the main climate-change-related threats for the electrical networks and main infrastructures affected, and how to define an adaptation pathway over time. It seeks to establish methods, identify the computational framework, and provide a demonstration of how a prediction system could be exercised in a risk-based assessment to identify proactive solutions toward electric network resilience, reliability and sustainability. These methodologies help the transition from the current reactive state-of-practice to a new energy planning and operations paradigm in which one can proactively anticipate damage to energy system equipment, predict associated outages and lack of service, and recommend optimal mitigation strategies.
