Disruptions to the electrical infrastructure propagate to oth er critical sectors causing a domino effect\, along with health and commun ity impacts. Climate change directly impacts the electric power system\; r ecord-breaking temperatures cause demand surges and contingencies beyond e stimations and distribution substations are highly vulnerable to flooding. These threats are compounded in the face of aging infrastructure.\n\nIn a ddition to mitigation strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions\, deve loping resiliency planning frameworks to adapt to the unavoidable impacts of severe events on the functions of the electric grid is necessary. Today \, there is no widely accepted metrics in the industry to measure resilien ce\, as opposed to reliability. This is complicated by the fact that there is no “one-size-fits-all” frameworks and metrics for resilience\, as they depend on regional and functional factors. Therefore\, there is a nee d for risk assessment based robust resilience metrics and methods that sho uld enable benchmarking across the industry and facilitate continuous impr ovement\, and quantify risk to guide investment prioritization decisions. Increasing frequency of events make it inevitable for resiliency planning frameworks to become a part of coordinated planning functions in the elect ricity sector and investment prioritization frameworks including generatio n\, transmission\, and distribution. Coordinated planning functions that i nclude resilience is even more important since not only the climate change and its impacts are evolving\, but also the grid is undergoing a paradigm shift toward a more sustainable and renewable future with emerging soluti ons such as Microgrids and distributed energy resources. To conclude\, a r esilient infrastructure is the building block of incorporating renewables and emerging technologies into the grid.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE Task For ce on Internet of Things for Power Systems\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Shay Bahrami rad\, \n\nAgenda: \n1.

Disruptions to the electrical infrastruc ture propagate to other critical sectors causing a domino effect\, along w ith health and community impacts. Climate change directly impacts the elec tric power system\; record-breaking temperatures cause demand surges and c ontingencies beyond estimations and distribution substations are highly vu lnerable to flooding. These threats are compounded in the face of aging in frastructure. &nbsp\;</p>\n<p>In addition to mitigation strategies to redu ce greenhouse gas emissions\, developing resiliency planning frameworks to adapt to the unavoidable impacts of severe events on the functions of the electric grid is necessary. Today\, there is no widely accepted metrics i n the industry to measure resilience\, as opposed to reliability. This is complicated by the fact that there is no &ldquo\;one-size-fits-all&rdquo\; frameworks and metrics for resilience\, as they depend on regional and fu nctional factors. Therefore\, there is a need for risk assessment based ro bust resilience metrics and methods that should enable benchmarking across the industry and facilitate continuous improvement\, and quantify risk to guide investment prioritization decisions. Increasing frequency of events make it inevitable for resiliency planning frameworks to become a part of coordinated planning functions in the electricity sector and investment p rioritization frameworks including generation\, transmission\, and distrib ution. Coordinated planning functions that include resilience is even more important since not only the climate change and its impacts are evolving\ , but also the grid is undergoing a paradigm shift toward a more sustainab le and renewable future with emerging solutions such as Microgrids and dis tributed energy resources.&nbsp\;To conclude\, a resilient infrastructure is the building block of incorporating renewables and emerging technologie s into the grid.</p><br /><br />Agenda: <br /><p>1.
