“…Trees near distribution lines are usually managed by trimming, and other management activities include the application of tree-growth regulators, the application of herbicides, and tree-removal and replacement programs (Kuntz et al, 2002). The North American Electric Reliability Corporation has enforced the applicable transmission owners to follow the vegetation management standards (NERC, 2012).…”

“…Establishing a fixed-time interval schedule based on tree growth and weather studies is a traditional method for vegetation management (Dai and Christie, 1994). Kuntz et al (2002) derived an optimal vegetation management scheduling for distribution systems by proposing a maintenance-scheduling algorithm that can determine when and where to perform vegetation management.…”

Boosting the resilience of power systems is a core requirement of smart grids. In fact, resilience enhancement is crucial to all critical infrastructure systems. In this study, we review the current research on system resilience enhancement within and beyond smart grids. In addition, we elaborate on resilience definition and resilience quantification and discuss several challenges and opportunities for system resilience enhancement. This study aims to deepen our understanding of the concept of resilience and develop a wide perspective on enhancing the system resilience for critical infrastructures.

Concerns about the power outages caused by extreme weather events have led the study of grid resilience. Among the grid resilience studies, this paper presents an overview to evaluate and improve grid resilience through the analysis of determinants of the impact and the grid capability. The impact is determined by the extreme weather events, grid exposure, and grid vulnerability. Whereas, the determinants of the grid capability are physical durability, operational versatility, and rehabilitation capacity. Conceptual knowledge for quantifying the impact and the grid capability is also presented. Then, some improvement strategies to reduce the impact and to improve the grid capability based on their determinants are discussed. The study of the impact and the grid capability provides a preliminary guideline to plan appropriate grid resilience improvement strategies.

-This paper proposes optimal maintenance strategies for power distribution systems that involve the use of the reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) method. We developed an improved decision model based on the Markov process. This model can obtain the optimal inspection interval and maintenance method based on the total expected cost. We used ordinal optimization for solving the optimal problem. Optimal maintenance strategies were presented by applying the developed method to the RBTS model. A B/C analysis proved that these strategies offer maximum benefit-to-cost.
