Negative Binomial Regression of Electric Power Outages in Hurricanes

Abstract

Hurricanes can cause extensive power outages, resulting in economic loss, business interruption, and secondary effects to other infrastructure systems. Currently, power companies are unable to accurately predict where outages will occur. Therefore, it is difficult for them to deploy repair personnel and materials, and make other emergency response decisions in advance of an event. This paper describes negative binomial regression models for the number of hurricane-related outages likely to occur in each one square kilometer grid cell and in each zip code in a region due to passage of a hurricane. The models are based on a large Geographic Information System database of outages in North and South Carolina from three hurricanes: Floyd (1999), Bonnie (1998), and Fran (1996). The most useful explanatory variables are the number of transformers in the area, the company affected, maximum gust wind speed, and a hurricane effect. Wind speeds were estimated using a calibrated hurricane wind speed model. Pseudo R-squared values and other diagnostic statistics are developed to facilitate model selection with generalized negative binomial models.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
