Puerto Rico (PR) faces ongoing threats from hurricanes and earthquakes, and needs power infrastructure able to withstand and recover from such events. This capability is defined as Infrastructure integrity (II): the ability of infrastructure to be reliable (maintain service availability), flexible (respond quickly to changes in demand), resilient (use operational measures to minimize service cost impact for recovery from extreme events), and adaptable (invest to adapt infrastructure to changing futures to provide continuous low-cost services). PR is an extreme example of the choices facing utilities, either because of natural disasters, or because aging infrastructure, energy markets and distribution smart grid opportunities present utilities with more (and possibly conflicting) choices for capital investments in transmission, distribution, central or distributed generation, as well as smart grid operation. The project has four stages over one year to: 1) Identify main threats to providing continuous, low-cost electric energy services in PR and the primary impediments to restoring electric energy services following occurrence of such events; 2) provide five visions for enhancement of infrastructure integrity, and identify strengths and weaknesses of each; 3) critique and revise the visions based on industry panel debates on strengths and weaknesses of each vision; 4) simulate the economics, infrastructure integrity and environmental sustainability of each vision. The final report will summarize the work and provide a recommendation to move forward with one or a combination of the visions.The project's strength comes from 1) our team's previous peer-reviewed work simulating infrastructure improvements for greater integrity on behalf of large utilities in the continental US; 2) our experts-- research professors, utilities from all sectors, and consulting engineers, in PR and in the continental US, with long experience in generation, transmission, distribution, and load-side infrastructure investment, all of whom study and confront choices in investment to satisfy Infrastructure Integrity; 3) development of an in-depth "on-the-ground" study of a catastrophic impact on electric systems infrastructure and innovative approaches to enhance infrastructure integrity for future such events. The development and vetting of this vision can be replicated for other utilities at different scales, providing a roadmap for infrastructure investment.

波多黎各（PR）面临飓风和地震的持续威胁，需要能够承受此类事件并从中恢复的电力基础设施。这种能力被定义为基础设施完整性（II）：基础设施的可靠性（保持服务可用性）、灵活性（快速响应需求变化）、弹性（使用运营措施最大限度地减少服务成本影响，以便从极端事件中恢复）和适应性（投资使基础设施适应不断变化的未来，以提供持续的低成本服务）。公共关系是公用事业面临的选择的一个极端例子，无论是因为自然灾害，还是因为老化的基础设施，能源市场和配电智能电网的机会，为公用事业提供了更多（可能是冲突的）选择，用于输电，配电，集中或分布式发电以及智能电网运营的资本投资。该项目在一年内分为四个阶段：1）确定在公共关系中提供连续、低成本电能服务的主要威胁，以及发生此类事件后恢复电能服务的主要障碍; 2）提供增强基础设施完整性的五个愿景，并确定每个愿景的优势和劣势; 3）根据行业小组对每个愿景的优缺点的辩论，对愿景进行批评和修改; 4）模拟每个愿景的经济、基础设施完整性和环境可持续性。最终报告将总结工作，并提供推进一个或多个愿景的建议。该项目的优势来自1）我们团队之前的同行评审工作，代表美国大陆的大型公用事业公司模拟基础设施改进，以实现更大的完整性; 2）我们的专家-研究教授，来自各个部门的公用事业公司，以及公关和美国大陆的咨询工程师，在发电，输电，配电方面拥有长期的经验，和负荷侧基础设施投资，所有这些研究和面对的投资选择，以满足基础设施的完整性; 3）发展一个深入的“实地”研究的灾难性影响的电力系统基础设施和创新的方法，以提高基础设施的完整性，为未来这样的事件。这一愿景的发展和审查可以复制到不同规模的其他公用事业，为基础设施投资提供路线图。
