DESCRIPTION:In the past decade\, the global shift towards addressing climat
 e change has highlighted the electric grid as a critical enabler in achiev
 ing net-zero emissions. Electrification demands from sectors like transpor
 tation and buildings rely heavily on a resilient\, reliable grid—especia
 lly as extreme weather events\, such as wildfires and hurricanes\, increas
 ingly challenge its stability. Ensuring continuous power during these even
 ts is crucial\, both for maintaining infrastructure and minimizing disrupt
 ion to daily life.\n\nAs a result\, stakeholders across governments\, util
 ities\, and regulatory bodies are focusing more than ever on policies and 
 initiatives to enhance grid resiliency. However\, a fundamental question a
 rises: how do we effectively measure grid resiliency? Developing metrics t
 hat assess the grid's ability to withstand and recover from extreme weathe
 r events is essential to ensure progress.\n\nThis talk will introduce a co
 mprehensive resiliency metric framework\, designed to evaluate the grid's 
 performance in adverse weather conditions. The metrics fall under two cate
 gories: System Performance\, which assesses the grid's ability to endure e
 xtreme events\, and Operational Performance\, measuring its recovery capac
 ity. Through this framework\, we can better understand\, measure\, and enh
 ance the resilience of our electric distribution grid.\n\nSpeaker(s): Shik
