保护国家的电力基础设施和人员免受自然和人为灾害的影响，并确保持续、可靠和有弹性的能源供应是电力行业的首要任务。近年来，野火一直在显著威胁电网的安全和保障，需要创新的框架来确保恢复能力。我们提出的方法侧重于减轻野火中断，一旦发生，可能危及电气设备的健康和人员的安全。所提出的框架首先提供了一个全面的野火表征包，可以时空监测和分析野火行为，即，野火强度、到达时间以及从点火点到电气设备的绑定路径。这允许电力系统运营商在火灾接近电气元件之前做出主动决策，例如，配电线路接下来，提出了一种用于电网中野火管理的决策支持工具，使得各种本地发电资源，即，分布式可再生能源和能量存储系统可以有效地用于减轻野火对电网的影响。建议的集成解决方案技术确保大幅减少停电，并提高电网和运营人员的安全性和弹性。
Safeguarding the nation’s electrical infrastructure and personnel against natural and man-made disasters, and ensuring a continuous, reliable, and resilient supply of energy are among the top priorities for the electric industry. In recent years, wildfires have been remarkably threatening the safety and security of electric power grids demanding innovative frameworks for ensured resilience. Our proposed approach focuses on mitigation of wildfire disruptions that, once occur, can jeopardize the well-being of electrical equipment and the safety of the personnel. The proposed framework first offers a comprehensive wildfire characterization package that can spatiotemporally monitor and analyze the wildfire behaviors, i.e., wildfire intensity, arrival time, and binding paths from ignition points to electrical equipment. This allows power system operators to make proactive decisions before the fire approaches the electrical elements, e.g., power distribution lines. Next, a decision support tool for wildfire management in power grids is proposed such that various local generation resources,—i.e., distributed renewable energy resources and energy storage systems, can be effectively employed to mitigate the wildfire impacts on the power grid. The proposed integrated solution technology ensures a significant reduction in power outages and enhances the safety and resilience of the power grid and the operating personnel.
