Full textResiliencia en sistemas de potencia se está estudiando recientemente en la literatura, su principal preocupación es proporcionar la viabilidad de la red en caso de eventos de alto impacto y baja probabilidad (HILP). Las principales contribuciones de este trabajo son: (1) Proporcionar un marco novedoso que apoye la toma de decisiones estratégicas para maximizar la resiliencia del sistema eléctrico contra la amenaza de desastres naturales (el primero de acuerdo a la investigación realizada), en particular terremotos. (2) Proporcionar una alternativa a la planificación impulsada por incentivos económicos, que puede ser costrastada para decisiones de agregar nueva capacidad de generación y nuevas líneas. (3) Presentar un enfoque de optimización discreta vía simulación (DOvS) que aborda problemas que tienen incertidumbre en dos etapas. Los resultados computacionales preliminares muestran que se obtienen soluciones más robustas para este problema en particular. Se utiliza el algoritmo Industrial Strength COMPASS para abordar este problema de decisión discreto, donde la medida de resiliencia corresponde a la energía no suministrada esperada (EENS). La evaluación de la EENS se lleva a cabo a través de un simulador que cuantifica los impactos de los desastres naturales en la demanda y que contiene datos históricos sobre terremotos, curvas de fragilidad de los componentes de la red y un modelo operacional de la red eléctrica. A través de un caso de estudio, se demuestra la aplicabilidad de este método, sus principales características y, en última instancia, cómo un planificador de la red puede diseñar sistemas de potencia más resistentes frente a terremotos.

The number of natural hazards has been increasing over the last 10 years. Understanding the impact of natural hazards on retail networks is crucial to make effective planning against disruptions. We used daily sales and inventory data from a country-wide retail network and natural emergencies historic data to quantify the consequences triggered by these events in product and financial flows. We analyze sales and inventory flow through points of sale and distribution centers. We propose the Resilience Investment Model (RIM) to invest in resilience against the effects of natural hazards. This model takes into account the operational details of the organization. RIM is a two-stage multi-period inventory flow stochastic program. The resilience investments consist in acquiring additional inventory to buffer against disruptions and the use of real options contracts with suppliers to execute when a declared emergency happens. We use a set of risk profiles over the future costs to align the investment with the financials and preferences of the organization. This research shows how the risk profiles of the decision maker shape the location and distribution of backup stock in a retail network. We show that risk averse profiles reduce worst-case cost by 15% while increasing average cost by 2%. We recommend the use of risk profiles with cost targets to quantify the Value at Risk of the network due to natural hazards.

Wildcat Creek Watershed near Manhattan, Kansas, experiences damaging flash floods that have required evacuations in recent years (Spicer 2011). The purpose of this study was to qualitatively examine the issue of flooding in the Wildcat Creek Watershed through interviewing stakeholders (those that reside, own a business, or study) using a semi – structured approach. Interview discussion examined stakeholders’ perceptions of 1) how they understand the processes that create the flooding hazard, 2) whether or not they value the implementation of mitigation efforts to reduce the negative impacts of flooding, 3) whether they feel at risk to flooding, and 4) who they consider a trusted source of information about the hydrologic characteristics of the watershed. Based on the results of this study, a spatial relationship in perceptions of flooding issues in the Wildcat Creek Watershed was found. Across the study area, stakeholders understood many of the physical causes of flooding, but did not tend to see the connections among the many physical components. Overall, stakeholders believed that mitigation strategies to curb flash flooding were valuable, although many were not supportive of paying for these efforts through potential taxation from a watershed district. Despite the increase of flooding events in the past decade (Anderson 2011), many stakeholders neither saw any changes in their personal risk of exposure to flooding nor a change in their flood vulnerability. In the context of the flooding issue in Wildcat Creek Watershed, most participants trusted their neighbors and community leaders as sources of information instead of professionals who research and/or conduct work on the watershed.
