The “Cyclone Preparedness for Renewable Energy Projects” document provides a comprehensive framework for safeguarding utility-scale wind and solar projects against cyclone impacts. It outlines key resilience measures, including risk assessment, emergency response team formation, early warning systems, evacuation planning, infrastructure protection, equipment readiness, personnel training, and business continuity strategies.
Detailed checklists cover wind turbine maintenance, solar panel securing, and transmission network preparedness. Pre-cyclone actions include inventory checks, contractor coordination, and establishing communication hubs, while real-time monitoring and feeder shutdowns ensure grid stability during cyclones. Post-impact efforts focus on rapid damage assessment and phased restoration, prioritizing critical infrastructure.
The document highlights proactive planning, cross-sector coordination, and engagement with meteorological and disaster management authorities, serving as a crucial guide for fortifying renewable energy assets in cyclone-prone regions.
