📄 Abstract（原文）
Wildfires have grown in frequency, scale, and impact, driven by climate change, expanding vegetation, and the spread of development into wildland–urban interface (WUI) areas. The WUI, where human development meets wildland vegetation, is especially vulnerable as it combines flammable fuels with dense infrastructure and population. Protecting these zones is critical because fires in WUI regions pose heightened risks to lives, property, and grid assets. Some of the most destructive wildfires in California have been attributed to distribution and transmission systems, underscoring the need for a system wide approach to mitigation. While electric infrastructure accounts for only a fraction of ignitions, these events often occur during extreme weather and can produce disproportionately large and destructive fires. This makes it imperative for utilities to revisit grid design, engineering practices, and protection strategies to reduce ignition risk under evolving environmental conditions. Addressing this challenge requires a coordinated effort that extends beyond utility boundaries, recognizing wildfire mitigation as a public priority supported by agencies, regulators, and communities. A robust, multi-stakeholder ecosystem, spanning research, manufacturing, utilities, and policy bodies, must work together to accelerate the development and deployment of effective solutions. Hierarchical policies should guide utilities in redefining operational processes, adopting advanced technologies, strengthening standards, and integrating wildfire risk reduction into every aspect of system planning and operation. This paper reviews wildfire incidents from multiple authoritative sources, examines the physical mechanisms by which electrical faults can ignite fires, and considers engineering, protection, and monitoring measures to reduce this risk. The discussion emphasizes proactive design and physical system strategies to move beyond incremental improvements, aiming for a fire-aware and resilient grid. Achieving this vision requires coordinated policy, targeted funding, and active stakeholder collaboration to address the challenge holistically.
