To better prepare and plan for potential extreme events, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) worked with the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) to conduct a synthesis climate assessment (SCA). The purpose of the SCA is to assess current and future climate conditions in the Los Angeles region, including extreme weather events, and to identify vulnerabilities relevant to LADWP’s power system.
EPRI also performed a transmission resilience assessment (TRA) for three possible future scenarios of the LADWP system in the year 2030. The team used the risk-based Resilient System Investment Framework (RSIF) to assess the impacts of extreme contingency events and quantify the resilience of the scenarios.
