摘要：
Access to adequate and reliable electricity is paramount for the adaptation and resilience of typhoon-prone coastal communities, particularly in the face of intensifying challenges posed by climate change. Climate-related extreme weather events, such as typhoons and their consequent flooding and storm surges, exert significant pressure on electricity systems in these vulnerable regions, affecting every aspect from generation to transmission, distribution, and end-user utilization. Therefore, urgent action is required to fortify these communities with electric systems that are resilient enough to withstand such meteorological extremes. This review paper examines the far-reaching impacts of extreme weather events on electricity systems and showcases illuminating case studies that highlight innovative strategies to bolster these systems against such extremes. The review emphasizes the pivotal role of meticulous energy planning, strong support from local governments, and the significance of infrastructure hardening in building resilient energy systems. Future research opportunities exist in integrating renewable energy, engaging community members, assessing climate risks, and cross-sectoral resilience. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
