Abstract
This paper proposes a framework to evaluate the resilience and vulnerability of Puerto Rico's power distribution system in the face of wind challenges. The study comprises three key components essential for achieving this objective: firstly, the paper undertakes the simulation and analysis of extreme wind events induced by hurricanes. Secondly, it puts forth parametrical fragility functions specifically tailored for utility poles, taking into account the stresses imposed by wind loads. Finally, the research endeavors to comprehensively assess the fragility and overall resilience of the power distribution network. By undertaking this multifaceted analysis, the paper seeks to provide valuable insights into enhancing the robustness of Puerto Rico's power distribution systems in the face of adverse climatic conditions.
