Hydro-Based Microgrids to Support Grid Resiliency during Wildfires [HydroWIRES]

As wildfires are becoming more severe and commonplace in the U.S., researchers are evaluating how to mitigate the impacts from west coast wildfires on the grid since power is often critical for life-saving services. This project will create a framework to leverage hydropower resources to ensure grid resilience during and after wildfire events.
