In this paper, the authors analyze data from four major service regions representing Upstate New York, both during normal operations and Super Storm Sandy, which took place in fall 2012. The study shows that extreme weather does not cause, but rather worsens, existing vulnerabilities, which are obscured in daily operations.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis study\u0026nbsp;demonstrates the important role of data science in studying the resilience of the operational energy grid.\u0026nbsp;The paper\u0026nbsp;provides\u0026nbsp;insights\u0026nbsp;on the\u0026nbsp;impact of extreme weather events on the grid infrastructure and customers. The methodology developed\u0026nbsp;also helps\u0026nbsp;policy-makers and utility companies to decide where investments are most effective in order to improve the resilience of the infrastructure.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAn associate professor in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Ji wrote this paper with 11 colleagues.
