Electric power distribution systems are susceptible to damage due to tornadoes with the utility poles being the most vulnerable components. Additionally, the reliability of power distribution systems can be affected by the deterioration of the strength of utility poles with age. Many utility companies nowadays are considering the use of steel and prestressed concrete poles instead of wood poles, which are the most widely used in the United States. Up to date, very few studies have been performed to study the behavior of power networks when subjected to tornadoes. This research proposes a framework to perform reliability analysis, cost analysis, and target hardening of power distribution systems subjected to tornado hazard. It also offers a framework to compare the reliability of wood, steel, and prestressed concrete utility poles subjected to tornadoes through fragility analysis considering the deterioration of the strength of the poles with age. 2019-01-29 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1543584694806575 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1543584694806575 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
