Energy and communication infrastructure for disaster resilience in rural and regional Australia
研究了澳大利亚农村和偏远地区频繁自然灾害对大型电网和通信网络的破坏，提出分布式智能可再生能源微电网系统可减少停电影响、提升韧性，但政策不确定性阻碍了投资和备灾。
Energy and communication infrastructure for disaster resilience in rural and regional Australia. Regional Studies. Australia's rural and regional areas are prone to frequent natural disasters with extensive socio-economic impacts. Resultant damage to large-grid energy and communication networks can lead to widespread, lengthy outages, signalling the need for alternative infrastructure developments to aid disaster risk reduction and resilience-building (DRRR). Distributed smart renewable energy micro-grid systems can mitigate adverse impacts through outage prevention and rapid service restoration, increase rural and regional resilience, and offer communities opportunities for socio-economic development. However, renewable energy and digital communications policy uncertainty currently adversely affects disaster preparedness and investment in alternative infrastructure, undermining rural and regional futures.
