Renewables and Natural Disasters

For any electric generation source. It is reasonable to ask how resilient it will be in the face of expected natural disasters. The answers for these questions are complicated by the impact of these disasters becoming worse over time. Unfortunately, this has recently been the case due to climate change creating more, and much worse weather-related catastrophes.
The most recent disasters worsened by climate change in the U.S. include wildfires (in the west), hurricanes (mainly on the Gulf and East Coasts) and non-coastal flooding (widespread).
This post will cover two subjects. The first and primary subject is hardening photovoltaic (PV) projects to withstand storms. The second subject is a case study for a small community’s recovery efforts after extensive river flooding.
