State‐of‐the‐art review on power system resilience and assessment techniques

Abstract

Modern societies these days are more dependent on electrical energy and they expect a continuous supply as per demand. In this regard, the complex power system is designed to supply electrical energy with a certain level of quality and continuity though it is still susceptible to vandalism, natural disasters, and extreme weather. The black sky event where the power grid goes down is more of a possibility nowadays than ever due to more frequent severe weather events. This in turn has increased the need to study resilience in the context of the power system. This study presents a comprehensive review of the literature on power system resilience from various perspectives. First, well‐developed power system safety concepts are discussed and critically reviewed in view of large‐scale power outages. Then, the various definitions and confounding features of resilience in the power system domain are presented. Subsequently, several frameworks, resilience curves, and quantitative metrics proposed in recent years for power system resilience are investigated, followed by a summary of hardening strategies. Next, a case study is presented to illustrate how the resilience of a 69‐bus system is assessed against a hurricane. Finally, the study highlights challenges and proposes several future works to achieve a resilient power grid.

A robust decision framework for strategic behaviour of integrated energy service provider with embedded natural gas and power systems in day‐ahead wholesale market

“…Decentralization of the energy production units has been proven to be a workable solution to tackle many obstacles, including economic, environmental and reliability issues [1]. Distributed energy resources (DERs) are far cheaper than conventional large-scale power plants, which attributes to the proliferation of private investors, leading to the emergence of a free market environment, wherein so-called invisible hands of the economy foster efficiency and increase reliability [2].…”

“…Based on the analysis of the existing cases, we can know that the scientific and systematic nature of AC4E can be clearly recognized by using semi-formal methods for verification and simulation experiment operation. [8][9][10][11][12]…”

An analytical approach for reducing k ‐line failure analysis and load shed computation

“…Research focusing on improving the resilience of power grid has attracted much interest in recent years [6]- [7]. Various solutions are proposed and investigated to improve the power system resilience from extreme events [8]- [9]. The power system resilience enhancement using a mixed-integer stochastic optimisation problem is studied in ref.…”
