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，它们在能源基础设施/资产寿命期间对它们的影响往往被过分简单化。因此，将气候数据转化为基础设施负荷需求的现有转换机制存在很大差距。此外，气候变化对结构和基础设施的评估通常是在竖井中进行的，要么过度泛化，要么对某种类型的资产进行定制评估，而不考虑对依赖/相互依赖的资产的影响。该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(如风力涡轮机塔架)的负载/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
