Summary
The aim of the study is to reduce and mitigate the consequences to the electrical infrastructure, in the event of seismic events, with a particular focus on static equipment. The goal is to enhance the resilience of the national transmission grid by adopting a preventive approach, especially in the strategic and priority sector of electricity transmission. Italy is characterized by a medium to high seismic risk, distributed mainly along the Apennine chain and in southern regions. The national territory has experienced multiple destructive earthquakes: Irpinia (1980), L’Aquila
Read more Read less(2009), and Amatrice (2016). Over the years, following seismic events in Italy, Terna has developed and implemented passive seismic isolation solutions for high-voltage equipment.
With this study, the intention is to extend the analysis to static equipment, a field where current
European standards are still not sufficiently comprehensive. The purpose is to identify solutions that provide greater seismic safety, both for new equipment installations and for the renewal of existing plants, applicable across all voltage levels.
