Katrina SGER: Data Collection for Estimating Disruption and its causes of Power Quality by Hurricane Katrina

全世界人民都为受卡特里娜飓风影响地区的破坏和人民的苦难深感悲痛。墨西哥湾沿岸数百万人正遭受卡特里娜飓风的破坏。卡特里娜飓风过后，我们必须对受灾地区的电力分配系统的性能进行定量调查。在受影响的配电系统中，卡特里娜飓风造成的最严重破坏是对电网的物理破坏。卡特里娜飓风造成的另一个严重影响是飓风期间和之后的电力质量中断。由于余下的电力网络的停电和不合理的负荷/发电模式，在系统完全恢复之前，客户必须承受质量较差的电力供应。虽然对电能质量的破坏似乎没有对电力系统部件的物理损害那么严重，也不容易明显地将电能质量的破坏与货币价值联系起来，但对电能质量的破坏的估计也很重要，因为除非人们意识到卡特里娜飓风对电能质量的破坏的程度，否则就不会努力使其最小化。数据的收集和分析将为人们了解卡特里娜飓风对电力质量的破坏程度提供机会。造成电力系统故障的因素很多，例如与飓风有关的风、降雨、电力系统的空间配置等，进而导致电能质量的中断。为了研究卡特里娜飓风造成电能质量中断的原因，需要收集这些因素的数据。本提案旨在收集以下两组数据：1)。电能质量中断数据2)。电能质量中断原因数据

All of the people over the world are deeply saddened by the devastation and suffering of the people in the areas affected by hurricane Katrina. Millions of people from the Gulf Coast are suffering from Hurricane Katrina's devastation. After the Hurricane Katrina, we have to execute a quantitative investigation of the performance of electric power distribution systems in the affected areas. As to the affected power distribution systems, the most sever disruption by Hurricane Katrina is the physical damages on power grids.Another sever effects by Hurricane Katrina is the disruption of power quality during and after the Hurricane Katrina. Because of the outages and unreasonable load/generation pattern of the remaining electric power networks, customers have to suffer a power supply with poor power quality before the system is entirely restored.Although the disruption on power quality seems not as sever as the physical damages on power system components, and it is not easy to obviously relate the disruption of power quality to the monetary value, the estimate of disruption of power quality is also important because, no efforts will be made to minimize the disruption of Hurricane Katrina on power quality unless people realize its extent. The data collection and analysis will yield a chance for people to realize the disruption extent of Hurricane Katrina on power quality.There are many factors, for example, hurricane-related winds, rainfall and spatial configuration of power systems, causing the faults which further lead to the disruption of power quality. In order to study the causes of the disruption of power quality by Hurricane Katrina, data regarding these factors need to be collected.This proposal is aimed to collect the following two groups of data:1). Data of Disruption of Power Quality2). Data of Causes of Power Quality Disruption
