“…A heat wave is a weather condition that involves particular stress for the distribution networks [4], especially for those ones covering large urban areas, where the load density is high and the grid is mainly (even, almost completely) constituted by underground cables: during very hot and drought periods, the network is often subject to a large number of faults, as a consequence of the over temperatures the power lines are exposed to. The thermal stress is caused by the combination of a few phenomena taking place during heat waves:…”

This paper describes a methodology for the evaluation of the distribution networks resilience in large metropolitan areas during heat waves. These weather conditions (very hot and dry periods) in recent years have become more and more frequent due to climate changes. Thus, procedures to evaluate their impact on electricity networks assumed a particular interest. In the paper, a novel approach for the modeling of heat waves is presented and an example is provided based on a simple network in order to better highlight how the procedure works, the results obtained and the methodology potentials. A combination of three in-cascade models is used to evaluate the fault risk of each network component: a thermal, an aging and a reliability model. On the basis of the work described in this paper, a software tool has been implemented, used by the Italian DSO Areti SpA for evaluating the resilience of the distribution system of the Italian capital of Rome. 
