Demand for bundled load is on decline which dire ctly affects the supply side. Cascading failures present severe threats to power grid reliability and security.\n\nResilient grid is a paradigm shif t which requires a new line of thinking in the engineering\, infrastructur e\, managing reliable operation and maintenance of the grid. The importanc e of modern electricity grid for sustainable delivery of reliable\, commun icative\, and high-quality electricity is paramount.\n\n- Characteristics and behavior of the system are changing. Renewable energy source (RES) int ermittency has introduced challenges in dispatching mix impacting load for ecasting\, voltage spikes\, frequency excursions\, and cyclic operation of thermal plants.\n\n- Balancing energy sources to efficiency operate the g rid\, minimize exposure to cascading events and need for oscillatory stabi lity management are amongst key operational objectives.\n\n- Timely detect ion\, mitigation and prevention of cascades of disturbances are of signifi cant importance. Root causes from outage propagation of the blackouts\, an d key lessons from recent events can be leveraged to further enhance the S tandards and avoid mistakes of others. Importance of advanced applications of synchrophasor technology\, for better detection\, alarming\, and mitig ation of oscillations and cascading outages are key.\n\n- The need for tim ing precision\, new protection\, automation\, and operational solutions ha ve become vital. Advanced simulation tools are needed to thoroughly simula te solutions for deployment for dynamic operating conditions. New solution s including topologies\, algorithms\, and deployment strategies are needed .\n\nAn evolving environment requires a transformed grid.
