The day the lights go out in Oregon, S11E1

from Engineering Out Loud · host Oregon State University College of Engineering

The long-feared 9.0 magnitude Cascadia subduction zone earthquake, which seismologists say is inevitable, will damage or destroy large swaths of Oregon's electrical grid. How long will it take to get the juice flowing again? Weeks? Months? Professor Ted Brekken and his team are applying high-powered simulations to find out and to identify which parts of the system should be hardened against the quake at any cost.  BONUS CONTENT: Oregon Resilience Plan  NSF Award: Earthquake Resilience of the Western Power Grid  Powering Back up in the Aftermath of the Big One https://engineering.oregonstate.edu/season-11-engineering-natural-disasters/day-lights-go-out-oregon-s11e1
