Abstract
Electric grid automation is designed so that any single
component failure can be isolated, and that supply can be
quickly restored to the remainder of the network.
However, environmental hazards such as flooding may cause
the failure of several components in the grid, resulting
in an unforeseen loss of power. Automation may be helpful
in limiting the consequences of environmental hazards,
but no methods exist for assessing grid automation
against plausible hazards. Such a method is proposed in
thi paper. An underground electric grid, its automation
and flood in the environment are simulated, and
interfaces are defined so that flood, steam and
condensing water may damage components in the grid
simulation.
