This paper examines different off-grid renewable energy-based electrification schemes for
an informal settlement in Windhoek, Namibia. It presents a techno-economic comparison …

The energy communities based on the integration of microgrids make it possible to gain
economic, environmental, technical, and social benefits. The paper aims to propose a …

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

The impacts of natural hazards on infrastructure, enhanced by climate change, are
increasingly more severe emphasizing the necessity of resilient energy grids. Microgrids …

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 …

Power systems are generally designed to be reliable when faced with low-impact, high-
probability, and expected power outages. By contrast, the probability of extreme event …

A comprehensive review of uncertainties in power systems, covering modeling, impact, and
mitigation, is essential to understand and manage the challenges faced by the electric grid …

The impact of increasingly frequent and intense climate change events on power supply and
consumption has become a concern for many countries. This study evaluated the impact of …

Most wildfires started by electrical power are caused by the contact of trees and surface fuels
with power lines. We propose a preignition risk mitigation model to reduce the risk of crown …

As climate change increases the risk of large-scale wildfires, wildfire ignitions from electric
power lines are a growing concern. To mitigate the wildfire ignition risk, many electric utilities …
