WOGNEWS.NET, Global Energy Market Climate Changes News.

Climate change is posing an unprecedented threat to power systems worldwide, with increasing extreme weather events causing widespread disruptions and highlighting the urgent need for enhancing grid resilience. Although this is a global issue, least developed countries (LDCs) and Small Islands Developing States (SIDS) have a greater degree of vulnerability and fewer resources to prevent, withstand, and recover from the impacts of these events. At the core of the issue is the vulnerability of power systems to these extreme weather events, which cause severe damage to power infrastructure and often lead to power outages. The power system is an interconnected network and the failure of one component can have cascading effects and lead to extensive outages. Furthermore, the vulnerabilities of the power sector have cascading effects on critical infrastructure such as communication, health and other emergency services. On a power system level, a lack of situational awareness, inadequate system visibility and ageing infrastructure further contribute to a wider disturbance propagation and slowing down of restoration services. #climate #energy Click and see more https://lnkd.in/gsqSgyRh
