Electrical Distribution Systems are extensively penetrated with Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) to cater the energy demands with the general perception that it enhances the system's resilience. However, integration of DERs may adversely…
The electrical distribution system is moving toward a more decentralized, complex, and dynamic system. The system is experiencing a higher penetration of distributed energy resources, flexible resources, and active end-users, leading to an…
Distribution systems hold a very significant position in the power system since it is the main point of link between bulk power and consumers. A planned and effective distribution network is the key to cope up with the ever increasing…
This study presents a framework for assessing urban critical infrastructure resilience during extreme events, such as hurricanes. The approach combines GIS and network analysis with open remote sensing data of the aftermath, vector data on…
Repair crews (RCs) and mobile power sources (MPSs) are critical resources for distribution system (DS) outage management after a natural disaster. However, their logistics is not well investigated. We propose a resilient scheme for disaster…
Communication networks are vulnerable to natural disasters, such as earthquakes or floods, as well as to physical attacks, such as an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) attack. Such real-world events happen at specific geographical locations and…
Loss minimization in distribution networks (DN) is of great significance since the trend to the distributed generation (DG) requires the most efficient operating scenario possible for economic viability variations. Moreover, voltage…
We focus on large blackouts in electric distribution systems caused by extreme winds. Such events have a large cost and impact on customers. To quantify resilience to these events, we formulate large event risk and show how to calculate it…
A key objective of the smart grid is to improve reliability of utility services to end users. This requires strengthening resilience of distribution networks that lie at the edge of the grid. However, distribution networks are exposed to…
Defense hardening can effectively enhance the resilience of distribution networks against extreme weather disasters. Currently, most existing hardening strategies focus on reducing load shedding. However, for electricity-hydrogen…
This paper explores a variety of strategies for understanding the formation, structure, efficiency and vulnerability of water distribution networks. Water supply systems are studied as spatially organized networks for which the practical…
The measurement and mapping of transportation network vulnerability to natural hazards constitute subjects of global interest, especially due to climate change, and for a sustainable development agenda. During a flood, some elements of a…
This paper presents sensitivity analyses of resilience-based active distribution system planning solutions with respect to different parameters. The distribution system planning problem is formulated as a two-stage risk-averse stochastic…
This paper presents a practical approach to utilizing emergency response resources (ERRs) and post-disaster available distributed energy resources (PDA-DERs) to improve the resilience of power distribution systems against natural disasters.…
Quick and reliable power system restoration is critically important after natural disasters or other sudden threats, such as cyber-attacks. Leveraging renewable resources in system restoration shortens recovery times, resulting in prevented…
Quantifying the potential benefits of microgrids in the design phase can support the transition of passive distribution networks into microgrids. At current, reliability and resilience are the main drivers for this transition. Therefore,…
Link failures repeatedly induce large-scale outages in power grids and other supply networks. Yet, it is still not well understood, which links are particularly prone to inducing such outages. Here we analyze how the nature and location of…
Recent advances in smart grid technologies bring opportunities to better control the modern and complex power grids with renewable integration. The operation of power systems, especially distribution network (DN), is facing with preeminent…
Advances in microgrids powered by Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) make them an attractive response capability for improving the resilience of electricity distribution networks (DNs). This paper presents an approach to evaluate the value…
Residential and commercial buildings, equipped with systems such as heat pumps (HPs), hot water tanks, or stationary energy storage, have a large potential to offer their consumption flexibility as grid services. In this work, we leverage…
