Abstract
The articles in this special section focus on the challenges faced by power grids worldwide. Global electric power systems are facing unprecedented challenges worldwide. Extreme events such as hurricanes, wildfires, and earthquakes have fundamentally changed the way the power grid is designed and operated. Power system planning and operation ought to go above and beyond the classical reliability indices that have governed industry practices for many decades. The fact that extreme events are of high impact and low frequency (HILF) renders traditional reliability- oriented system-enhancement measures insufficient and ineffective. Rather than focusing on routine power system component failures and outages, resilience specifically refers to the ability of a system to anticipate, absorb, react to, and recover from a rare, widespread, quickly changing, and extreme event scenario that may cause substantial and enduring damage to our society.
