Weather Innovation, Smart Energy, and Resilience (WISER) is an NSF Industry-University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC).
🌩️⚡ The ongoing project funded by WISER is advancing grid resilience by developing a real-time simulation testbed to assess power grid vulnerabilities under extreme weather conditions.
By integrating high-resolution weather data with real-time digital simulations, this project models grid behavior during hurricanes, heatwaves, and storms to identify critical failure points and cascading outage risks. The insights generated will help utilities and policymakers enhance monitoring systems, optimize risk mitigation strategies, and strengthen infrastructure against climate-driven disruptions.
With a focus on improving forecasting capabilities and grid hardening measures, this project is set to be a vital tool in safeguarding energy reliability and resilience. Stay tuned for updates on how this research is shaping the future of power grid stability! 🔋🌎
