“…Of those 21 definitions, 16 define resilience as capacities/actions that occur after some type of disturbance, stress, or adverse event has occurred. Consistent with the findings of Norris et al [3], several of the studies we reviewed [1,3,5,7,13 (citing [2])] describe resilience as the ability of an entity to recover, or "bounce back," from the adverse effects of a natural or man-made threat. These definitions take the position, either explicitly or implicitly, that protection and resilience are distinct elements of an overall strategy to address such threats.…”

“…Several recent studies (see [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]12], for example) have provided a range of perspectives on the role of resilience in policies and programs designed to address natural and man-made threats. A review of those studies reveals that there is strong agreement that the concept of resilience must play a major role in assessing the extent to which various entities-critical infrastructure and key resources, systems (e.g., electricity generation, transmission and distribution), communities, and regions-are prepared to deal with the full range of threats they face.…”

Several recent studies have provided a range of perspectives on the role of resilience in policies and programs designed to address natural and man-made threats. A review of those studies reveals that there is strong agreement that the concept of resilience must play a major role in assessing the extent to which various entities-critical infrastructure and key resources, systems, communities, and regions-are prepared to deal with the full range of threats they face. As resilience assessment methodologies continue to be developed and implemented for resilience at various levels, it is critical that a framework be developed to utilize measurements of resilience at multiple levels to characterize a community's resilience to potential hazards. Argonne National Laboratory, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, has developed a framework that combines existing measures of critical infrastructure and organization resilience with new measurement tools in order to characterize five subsystems of a community: the economy, physical infrastructure, government and nongovernmental organizations, emergency services, and the civilian population. The resilience of each of these subsystems will be measured through various tools, including an assessment of economic diversity; a review of community continuity of operations and government plans for essential functions; an analysis of critical infrastructure and organizational resilience to include lifeline utilities and vital private sector organizations; a study of disaster public education; communication and evacuation programs; and a review of the emergency services capabilities that a community possesses. Through the application of these measures, a community can better understand its current resilience posture, as well as implement a systematic approach to reduce vulnerabilities and consequences of potential hazards.

“…Yet, others associate resilience with robustness or resistance to minimize or absorb the impact of an event, specifically in the context of resilience engineering with the focus on limiting the damage to infrastructure during the event [5]. In the following discussion and reflecting the goals of the Institute for Resilient Communities, we focus on the process to enhance capabilities to minimize the impact during and support the recovery after an unexpected event [6,7]. This is similar to President Obama's statement describing resilience as "the ability to adapt to changing conditions and withstand and rapidly recover from disruption due to emergencies" [8].…”

Resilience: A New Paradigm of Nuclear Safety

Resilience is the key to a prosperous global and modern society; Efforts to mitigate physical damage, economic loss, and to protect social and political infrastructures in response to catastrophic events, such as a nuclear accident or a natural disaster, are essential for communities to survive and thrive in the aftermath of such incidents. The 2011 Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant accident serves as an example of the risks associated with advanced technologies and the need to minimize physical as well as psychological effects on local and global communities. Other examples can be found reflecting the misperception of risks including concerns associated with vaccination or genetically modified organisms. While we have to recognize the risks associated with the development, implementation, and utilization of advanced technologies, we also have to recognize that the impact of not adopting them can have much more detrimental effects to individuals, communities, and even societies. We have established the Institute for Resilient Communities in Berkeley, CA in collaboration with Japanese partners to address the needs for better scientific and technological capabilities to assess, predict, and minimize the impact of disruptive events in the future and to enhance the understanding of associated risks to the public. While the initial focus resides in radiological resilience and is closely related to the events in Fukushima more than 5 years ago, the goal is to establish a broader framework for researchers, educators, and communities to enhance resilience locally and globally together.

Summary The gradual sprawl of power system toward smart grid and enhanced integration of distributed energy resources at the distribution end is transforming the conventional distribution system and is eventually making it self‐sustained. The distribution system is thus continuously evolving to prepare itself for any unforeseen natural, man‐made, and complex events. These events may impact the distribution system as high‐impact low‐frequency (HILF) scenarios. The high intensity and widespread damage of the power system due to HILF scenarios necessitate resilience. Resilience analysis aims to identify these region‐specific vulnerabilities of the electricity network and implement appropriate methods to quickly restore the system to its predisturbance state. Further to enhance the network visibility and situational awareness, integration of synchrophasor to resilience is significant. Therefore, synchrophasor technology integrated with resilience provides online wide area visibility of the distribution system. Using synchrophasor for resilience assessment propels an agile network for coordinating accurate and timely analysis of the system parameters. Therefore, understanding the concept of resilience, its evolution, detailed overview, synchrophasor‐based resilience (SBR) methods as well as its applications are necessary. This article outlines the key points of the synchrophasor technology based resilience technique, its significance, and lays a foundation for continuing research in this area. It offers detailed insight into the comprehensive review of this evolving concept. The article majorly focuses on all the aspects of SBR, its necessity in performance evaluation, synchrophasor measurement based resilience enhancement methods, and application of different SBR techniques in the distribution system. A detailed comparative analysis of SBR features, sample efficiency, result accuracy, merits, and demerits based on available literature is provided. Finally, future perspectives are discussed for implementing resilience assessment using synchrophasor technology in the distribution system.
