Comprehensive resource focusing on natural hazards and their impact on power systems, with case studies and tutorials included.

Fundamentals of Power System Resilience is the first book to cover the topic of power system resilience in a holistic manner, ranging from novel conceptual frameworks for understanding the concept, to advanced assessment and quantifying techniques, to optimisation planning algorithms and regulatory frameworks towards resilient power grids. The text explicitly addresses the needs and challenges of current network planning and operation standards and examines the steps and standard amendments needed to achieve low-carbon, resilient power systems. Practically, it provides frameworks to assess resilience in operation and planning and relevant quantification metrics.

Case studies from around the world (real data and project developments as well as simulations) including windstorms, wildfires, floods, earthquakes, blackouts, and brownouts, etc. are included, with applications from the UK, Chile, Australia, and Greece.

In Fundamentals of Power System Resilience, readers can expect to find specific information on:

  • Classical reliability standards, covering the changing energy landscape and limitations of existing reliability-driven network planning and operation standards
  • How resilience is interpreted in the power systems community, and characterisations and differentiation of threats
  • Spatiotemporal impact assessment of external shocks on power systems, trapezoid applications to different events of different time-scales, and AC cascading models for resilience applications
  • Conventional approaches to asset failure data representation and modelling of the relationship between weather/asset outages

Fundamentals of Power System Resilience provides fundamental knowledge of the subject and is an excellent supplementary reference for final year undergraduates and postgraduate students due to its mix of basic and advanced content and tutorial-like exercises. It is also essential for regulators and practitioners for shaping the future resilient power systems.
