11 Weather Driven Risk Analysis Risk = Hazard x Vulnerability x Economic Impact Probability of hazardous weather conditions Depends on Weather Forecast Pick a moment in time (or a period of time) and estimate probability of hazardous conditions Probability that hazardous conditions will cause an event in the network Depends on Historical Weather and Outage Data Learn from the historical data what may happen if hazardous conditions occur Expected economic impact in case of an event Depends on the type of economic loss that the user wants to consider Identify type of economic loss that is of interest for the study and calculate it 2016 Mladen Kezunovic, Mladen Kezunovic, Zoran Obradovic, All All Rights All Reserved Rights Reserved 11

20 Conclusion The use of the predictive weather hazard is presented with two examples: - Insulation coordination study. - Vegetation management study. The variety of weather data (historical and weather forecast models). The spatiotemporal correlation of data. Prediction based on the linear regression model. The accuracy of the prediction is larger than 75% for all cases that were studied Mladen Kezunovic, Mladen Kezunovic, Zoran Obradovic, All All Rights All Reserved Rights Reserved
