The Western Interconnection’s bulk power system (BPS) has experienced challenges due to extreme weather events becoming more frequent and intense. Furthermore, the changing resource mix with higher renewable penetration adds more variability to the system. Climate change has emphasized the need to study extreme events, which can co-occur like extreme heat and wildfires, causing widespread impacts on the BPS.
