Abstract

Smart-grid technologies are essential to achieving sustainable high-level grid resilience. Integrating sensors and monitoring devices throughout grid infrastructure provides additional data on weather-related parameters in real-time, enabling the smart grid to respond appropriately to inclement weather and its associated challenges. The recording of all these data associated with each extreme weather event helps in the study and development of methodological tools for decision-making on issues of restoration and modification of the electricity network, with a view to enhancing its resilience and consequently ensuring the uninterrupted supply of electricity, even during the occurrence of these weather phenomena. This article focuses on enabling the utilization of meteorological data archives of past events, which demonstrate that natural disasters and extreme weather phenomena nowadays require network designs that can cope with the more frequent occurrence (high frequency) of events that have a significant impact (high impact) on the smooth operation of the network.
