Tropical cyclone damage assessment of distributed infrastructure systems under spatially correlated wind speeds

Probabilistic damage evaluation and loss estimation of spatially distributed infrastructure systems (e.g. an electric power system or a building portfolio) under scenario tropical cyclone must consider the spatial correlation wind speeds to estimate their impact on built environment statistically. Previous studies have seldom considered this assessments civil infrastructure. In paper, stochastic field model is developed capture uncertainty for North Atlantic region. A series recorded speed fields historical events are examined. The bias values between computed based widely used cyclonic obtained. statistics estimated using geostatistical tools. effect performance assessment illustrated system, where metrics ratio, outage ratio cost.
