Summary

This TB provides information to support the design and life management of electrical installations exposed to severe weather conditions. The document includes consideration of a wide range of severe climatic conditions from around the world, its effect on AIS equipment, typical support systems and substation infrastructure employed by those electrical installation owners, operators and equipment providers. Consideration is given to the short, medium, future and reactive measures that can be implemented, to ensure resilience to future severe weather events, along with associated human performance under such conditions. Case studies for a number of weather types are included.
