Resilience Assessment of Interdependent Energy Systems Under Hurricanes

IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, 2020
Energy systems, e.g., power systems and natural gas systems, are increasingly interdependent, which brings benefits under normal conditions and introduces risks under extreme weather events, e.g., hurricanes. A comprehensive method is proposed to reflect

An Integrated Preventive Operation Framework for Power Systems During Hurricanes

IEEE Systems Journal, 2020
Severe weather is the primary cause of power outages in the U.S. Despite the availability of weather forecast information, such data are not systematically integrated into operation models. This article proposes an integrated framework to convert weather

Spatial–Temporal Reliability and Damage Assessment of Transmission Networks Under Hurricanes

IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, 2020
Hurricanes can damage transmission network structure components, e.g., towers and conductors, and threat the system reliability. To quantify the consequence severity of hurricanes on transmission networks, a spatial–temporal reliability and damage ...

Supply location and transportation planning for hurricanes: A two-stage stochastic programming framework

European Journal of Operational Research, 2019
We develop a two-stage stochastic programming model with recourse actions for hurricane preparedness. In the first stage, it works to optimize the locations of Points of Distribution (PODs), medical supply levels, and transportation capacity, and in the ...

Resilience-Promoting Proactive Scheduling Against Hurricanes in Multiple Energy Carrier Microgrids

IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, 2019
Proactive preparedness is the key necessity of power systems to successfully cope with high-impact rare (HR) events. A resilience-oriented proactive methodology is proposed in this paper, which aims at enhancing the preparedness of multiple energy ...

Disaster Preparedness and Disaster Response: Evidence from Sales of Emergency Supplies Before and After Hurricanes

Journal of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists, 2019
Government information warns households to acquire emergency supplies as hurricanes threaten and directs households to stay off roads after hurricanes make landfall. Do households follow this advice? If so, who, when, and how much?

Hurricane Fatalities and Hurricane Damages: Are Safer Hurricanes More Damaging?

Southern Economic Journal, 2005
The rising cost of hurricanes and other natural hazards has been a concern to policy makers and insurance industry executives. We offer a heretofore overlooked explanation for rising hurricane damages—the reduction in fatalities from hurricanes. Improved hurricane forecasts, more extensive evacuations, and other improvements make hurricanes less lethal,
