Computing Substation Fragility as a Function of Seismic Component Failure

Creator:

Stark, William D.

Abstract:

The electrical grid of the Western Interconnection is vulnerable to earthquake damage, especially large-magnitude megathrust events, due to the unique seismic profile of the region. However, the size of the Western Interconnection makes it difficult to model seismic failure in electrical substations to the level of detail necessary to improve...
