For the power grids the mobile access network is among the most critical power consumers, in case of faults on the power grid it is important to find solutions to guarantee to the users the communication capabilities with the best quality available for as long as possible. The aim of this thesis is to study the case of power outages in the Turin Metropolitan area by analysing the data provided from a local power distribution company in order to model the impact of these even on the radio access network. By cross analysing the data about power outages with information about the RAN of one of the major Italian carriers it is possible to simulate a realistic scenario and to develop suitable management strategies.
