Risk Assessment and Optimal Response Strategies for Resilience of Electric Power Infrastructure to Extreme Weather
… networks. Firstly, we formulate an asymmetric hurricane wind field model that is applicable to forecasting and large-scale ensemble simulation. The hurricane wind field model incorporates low-wavenumber asymmetries, and its parameters are estimated using a Constrained Nonlinear Least Squares …
