Designing resilient electrical networks to withstand natural disasters

An innovative mathematical model that includes natural disasters in electrical planning, increasing the resilience of supply and social welfare of consumers. Chile is a nation highly prone to natural disasters. Since the planning of the electrical networks did not consider this risk originally, when such events occur the supply is usually interrupted way beyond acceptable periods and often extends outside

Creating cutting-edge tools for the active prevention of forest fires

A model that incorporates fire risk in forest management planning to avoid economic and human loss There are between 6,000 and 7,000 forest fires each year in Chile, 99.7% of which are caused by human activities, with an average of 52,000 hectares burned annually, between bush, meadow, and forest plantations. Work in ongoing at the Complex Engineering Systems Institute on
