Grid Resilience

Grid resilience refers to the capacity of power systems to anticipate, absorb, adapt to, and rapidly recover from disruptive events, such as natural disasters, cyberattacks, and equipment failures. Attributes that define a resilient grid include predictive capacity, robustness, adaptability, rate of recovery, and adaptive capacity. With the growing importance of renewable energy sources and smart grid technologies, grid resilience has become a critical aspect of modern power systems. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has developed advanced grid resilience metrics to evaluate the performance of power systems under various scenarios.
