This book provides a comprehensive overview and in-depth discussion of smart grid resilience. It covers the three most critical resilience problems facing smart grids—resilience against extreme weather, resilience against cyber-physical attacks, and resilience under system inter-dependency. Each of these topics increases the risk of large-scale system-wide cascading failures. In-depth chapters allow the reader to define and quantify the smart grid’s ability to deal with extreme events and the critical infrastructures systems that connect it. Methods for improving system design are...
