Abstract: Hurricanes can cause devastating damage to overhead distribution lines leading to large power outages in electric grids. Power outage prediction models can help utilities to plan for an expedited power recovery by identifying ...

Abstract: This study develops a methodological framework to prioritize urban areas for the deployment of hyper-local, real-time flood-monitoring sensors. These sensors promise enhanced flood risk management in cities, where flood ...

Abstract: Projections indicate that solar energy will constitute 55% of total electricity capacity by 2050 in the US. Despite solar energy’s growing importance, few studies have analyzed the risks of countrywide deployments of solar ...

Abstract: Distributed energy resource systems (DERs), such as rooftop solar panels, are gaining traction in the energy sector to improve infrastructure resilience to earthquakes by facilitating electricity sharing in seismic regions ...
