  In the past decade, natural disasters such as hurricanes have challenged the
operation and control of U.S. power grid. It is crucial to develop proactive
strategies to assist grid operators for better emergency response and minimized
electricity service interruptions; the better the grid may be preserved, the
faster the grid can be restored. In this paper, we propose a proactive
posturing of power system elements, and formulate a Security-Constrained
Optimal Power Flow (SCOPF) informed by cross-domain hurricane modeling as well
as its potential impacts on grid elements. Simulation results based on
real-world power grid and historical hurricane event have verified the
applicability of the proposed optimization formulation, which shows potential
to enable grid operators and planners with interactive cross-domain data
analytics for mitigating hurricane impacts.
