Abstract
This study examines the impact of extreme weather events on electrical transmission lines, with a particular focus on high-impact, low-probability (HILP) meteorological conditions. Investigating how these conditions affect transmission lines and the potential effects of power outages is crucial for the reliability and continuity of electrical grids. The study conducts a comprehensive review of the literature on the effects of extreme weather events on electrical grids. Specifically, it categorizes and analyzes faults occurring on transmission lines caused by high-impact, low-probability meteorological conditions such as storms, hurricanes, and ice storms. Identifying and classifying these faults is a fundamental step in enhancing the reliability of power systems. Another focus of the study is examining various strategies to prevent power outages, including probabilistic modeling and resilience enhancement technologies. Solutions such as the development of advanced warning systems, design modifications to enhance the physical resilience of transmission lines, and emergency response plans have the potential to increase the reliability of electrical grids. In conclusion, the findings of this study contribute significantly to understanding the impact of HILP meteorological conditions on electrical transmission lines and identifying measures to enhance the reliability of electrical grids. The results of this study can provide valuable guidance to planners, engineers, and decision-makers in the energy sector.
