Against the backdrop of intensified global climate change and the large-scale rapid development of new energy, meteorological conditions become one of the key factors affecting the security of power grids and power supply. Transmission lines, distribution networks, and new energy power stations are prone to large-scale faults under weather conditions, which significantly increases the vulnerability of power grids and poses severe challenges to power supply and demand balance and system regulation capabilities.
Conventional power grid planning dispatch mainly focus on normal operation scenarios, lacking sufficient consideration for meteorologically driven uncertainties and multi-scale dynamic evolution. With the development of new technologies such as power-meteorological data, artificial intelligence prediction, distributed energy, and energy storage, it is imperative to explore systematic methods for power-meteorological sensing, vulnerability modeling, resilience assessment, operation optimization and market mechanisms to improve the power system's defense, adaptability, and recovery capabilities under extreme meteorological conditions.
Countries and regions such as the States and Europe have already explored issues such as meteorology-power fusion modeling, disaster scenario recovery, and market-based resilience incentive mechanisms. However, there are still problems such as adaptability to regional characteristics, insufficient utilization of flexibility resources, and lack of coupling between market rules and meteorological information. Domestically, on the one hand, power equipment is exponentially, and local power grids are becoming more complex. On the other hand, the "double-high" and "double-peak" characteristics of the new power system are highlighted and combined with meteorological factors, its meteorological dependency is even more prominent. How to establish a framework for enhancing the resilience of new power systems under the background of climate change has an important issue facing the power system.
