Electrification demands from sectors like tr ansportation and buildings rely heavily on a resilient\, reliable grid—e specially as extreme weather events\, such as wildfires and hurricanes\, i ncreasingly challenge its stability. Ensuring continuous power during thes e events is crucial\, both for maintaining infrastructure and minimizing d isruption to daily life.\n\nAs a result\, stakeholders across governments\ , utilities\, and regulatory bodies are focusing more than ever on policie s and initiatives to enhance grid resiliency. However\, a fundamental ques tion arises: how do we effectively measure grid resiliency?\n\nDeveloping metrics that assess the grid's ability to withstand and recover from extre me weather events is essential to ensure progress.\n\nThis talk will intro duce a comprehensive resiliency metric framework\, designed to evaluate th e grid's performance in adverse weather conditions. The metrics fall under two categories: System Performance\, which assesses the grid's ability to endure extreme events\, and Operational Performance\, measuring its recov ery capacity. Through this framework\, we can better understand\, measure\ , and enhance the resilience of our electric distribution grid.\n\nVirtual : https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/440558 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/440558 ORGANIZER:memrick@ieee.org SEQUENCE:48 SUMMARY:IEEE Guide for Distribution Grid Resilience Metrics URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/440558 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p dir="ltr"><strong>Date:</strong> October 3 1\,2024 - 11 AM to 12:30 PM PST</p>\n<p dir="ltr"><strong>Topic: </strong> IEEE Guide for Distribution Grid Resilience Metrics</p>\n<p dir="ltr"><str ong>Who Should Attend:</strong> Power system engineers working in electric utilities\, system planners\, researchers\, policy makers and regulators. </p>\n<p dir="ltr"><strong>Speaker:</strong> Shikhar Pandey holds a Bachel or&rsquo\;s in Electrical Engineering from NIT Patna\, India\, and a Maste r&rsquo\;s and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Washington State Unive rsity Pullman.
