Building resilient grids

This report explores how virtual power plants (VPPs) can transform energy resilience in the Caribbean, using the US Virgin Islands as a case.

The report reveals how U.S. corporate utilities fuel climate chaos and inequality through fossil fuel expansion, shutoffs during extreme heat, and opposition to renewables, worsening risks like heatwaves and wildfires across multiple states.

Electric utilities across the United States are shutting off power to a growing number of households, according to a recent report that also found most shutoffs happened during last year’s record-hot summer.

A new study published in PLOS Climate is among the first to parse how different kinds of extreme events affect the power grid in the United States.

Hong Kong’s largest electricity provider has rolled out an artificial intelligence-assisted platform to strengthen its ability to detect and respond to threats to the power supply.

Early detection of earthquakes could be vastly improved by tapping into the world's internet network with a groundbreaking new algorithm, researchers say.

This study explores the compounding impacts of climate change on the power system's load and generation, emphasising the need to integrate adaptation and mitigation strategies into investment planning in Italy.

This document is the result product of a project which used fire risk modelling methods developed previously by a Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC’s Project IGNIS to quantify the potential impacts of bushfires to and from Powerlink infrastructure.

Extreme weather is becoming more common around the world, with climatic events such as storms often causing damage to power networks, resulting in a loss of electricity – but could satellites prove to be a solution to maintaining energy supplies on earth?

In this article, authors combine four years of daily electricity outages data from 370 locations across India with temperature, wind, precipitation and flood inundation data to provide empirical evidence of their impacts of the electricity system.
