Abstract: 

Modern power grid is evolving towards carbon neutrality by deploying increasing
amount of renewable energy resources. However, the impact of renewable generation on
power system planning and operation is not sufficiently investigated, especially the capability
of renewable penetrated power systems to resist and recover from major disturbances, which
is a concern for system operators. Novel metrics and evaluation methodologies are needed to
depict systems’ ability in response to events caused by natural disasters, and quantitatively
evaluate system performance. In this presentation, we will discuss operational resilience
metrics for power systems with penetration of renewable energy resources based on transient
stability principles. A resilience-oriented disaster management strategy will be illustrated
using a modified IEEE 39-bus test system.
