Evaluate and formulate climate change impact on loading/actions on energy infrastructure as a function of different climate projection scenarios

随着近年来极端环境事件的频率和规模的增加，关键基础设施资产所有者和管理者的优先领域之一是提供一个适应气候变化的基础设施系统。气候变化预测往往以温度和降水量的变化来表示;然而，其对能源基础设施/资产在其寿命期内的影响往往被过分简化。因此，在将气候数据转换为基础设施负荷需求的现有转换机制中存在重大差距。此外，气候变化对建筑物和基础设施的评估通常是孤立进行的，对某类资产进行过度概括或定制评估，而不考虑对依赖/相互依赖资产的影响。本项目将根据不同的气候预测情景，评估和制定气候变化对能源基础设施（例如，风力涡轮机塔架）的负荷/作用的影响

With the increased frequency and magnitude of extreme environmental events in recent years, one of the priority areas for the critical infrastructure asset owner and managers is to provide a climate change resilient infrastructure system. Climate change projections are often presented as changes in temperature and precipitation level; however, their impact on energy infrastructures/assets during their lifetime is often oversimplified. Hence there is a significant gap in the existing converting mechanism to translate climate data to infrastructure loading demand. Additionally, the assessment of climate change on structures and infrastructures is generally conducted in silos, either with over-generalisation or bespoke assessment for a certain type of asset without considering the impact on dependent/interdependent assets. This project will evaluate and formulate climate change impact on loading/actions on energy infrastructure (e.g. wind turbine towers) as a function of different climate projection scenarios
