The　10　kV　poles　are　vulnerable　to　severe　typhoons　due　to　the　low　wind-resistance,　and　prediction　for　the　amount　of　10　kV　damaged　poles　is　important　for　the　deployment　of　preparedness　plans　and　the　allocation　of　emergency　resources　before　the　disaster.　Consequently,　we　proposed　a　prediction　method　for　the　amount　of　10　kV　damaged　poles　under　severe　typhoon　environment　based　on　meshing　and　support　vector　machine.　Based　on　the　theory　of　regional　natural　disaster　system,　a　feature　set　representing　the　influence　on　the　10　kV　poles,　including　disaster-causing　factors,　disaster-pregnant　environment　and　disaster-affected　body,　was　constructed　and　meshed　to　3　km×3　km　grid　units　as　the　input　of　support　vector　machine　regression　(SVR)　model.　Then,　the　amount　of　10　kV　damaged　poles　in　each　grid　unit　was　taken　as　the　output　of　the　SVR　model.　Thereby,　a　prediction　model　for　the　amount　of　10　kV　damaged　poles　under　severe　typhoon　environment　was　established.　Meanwhile,　the　model　was　adopted　to　predict　the　amount　of　10　kV　damaged　poles　in　a　certain　area　during　the　Typhoon　Meranti　(no.　1614),　and　the　predicted　value　is　significantly　correlated　with　the　actual　damage,　which　validated　the　proposed　model.　This　method　provides　a　possible　way　to　predict　the　amount　of　10　kV　damaged　poles　under　severe　typhoon　environment.　©　2020,　High　Voltage　Engineering　Editorial　Department　of　CEPRI.　All　right　reserved.
