This paper focuses on the development of a weather impacts classifier embedded in a Geographic Information System (GIS). It is able to put together a massive variety of information, from historical outage and weather data, to real-time weather forecast and network monitoring, into a parameter known as weather hazard defined as a probability of occurrence of a weather threat of intensity T. It enables the real-time, just-in-time interpretation of the expected impacts of the severe weather conditions. It is developed to assist in evaluating the risk of weather impacts on the power systems operation and planning. Since the data comes with different spatial and temporal resolutions, it is critical to correlate all the data into a unified spatiotemporal model. As a result, a variety of features of interests can be extracted from such fused data, such as probability of lightning flashover on a tower, probability of vegetation coming in contact with power lines, severe storm probability, etc. A classification of weather impacts is based on a set of extracted features relevant to a given application. The unified hazard framework assigns a hazard probability to each location in the network for each moment in time. The hazard model is built to support the development of a predictive risk map based on weather impact assessment. The main goal of the model is to provide the capability of predicting various weather impacts and their expected levels of severity that will enable implementation of proactive mitigation measures for power system assets and outage management. In order to demonstrate the applicability of the model to solving problems in different sectors of electric utility, the developed model was tested on two different applications: one for prediction of transmission line lightning performance caused by deterioration of the insulators, and second one for prediction of distribution line performance caused by the impact of severe weather and vegetation growth.
