In this context\, this presentation introduces the paradigm shift from reliability to resilience\, emphasising the need for modern gr ids to withstand\, adapt to\, and recover rapidly from disruptive events. We will first clarify the conceptual differences between reliability and r esilience and present widely used resilience frameworks. The presentation will then highlight planning strategies\, introducing mathematical models for resilient network design. It discusses the need for a balanced investm ent portfolio between network expansion\, infrastructure hardening\, and s mart grid technologies\, emphasising the significance of probabilistic ana lysis and risk metrics like Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) in decision-m aking. It also reviews alternative modelling approaches that use stochasti c and robust optimisation. The presentation differentiates between resilie nce and traditional reliability concepts\, proposing a holistic decision-m aking process for planning. It also introduces fairness considerations in resilient planning and underscores the balance between traditional asset-h eavy investments\, operational measures\, DER\, and other non-wire solutio ns. This presentation aims to make informed\, risk-aware investment decisi ons to enhance power system resilience.\n\nIn this talk\, the speaker will walk the audience through the key shift from reliability to resilience\, then show how these concepts become actionable in planning models and inve stment choices. The presentation will include a brief preview of the speak er’s upcoming book\, with a focus on how risk-aware metrics (including C VaR) and modern optimisation approaches can support resilient\, fair\, and cost-effective grid investment strategies.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Rodrigo Mor eno\, \n\nAgenda: \n16:00–16:10 | Welcome and Opening Remarks\n\nWelcome to the session\, a brief overview of the topic\, and an introduction of t he speaker.\n\n16:10–16:45 | Featured Talk: Power System Resilience and Investment Planning\n\nA structured overview of resilience fundamentals an d practical investment-planning approaches\, including selected insights f rom the speaker’s forthcoming book on power system resilience and invest ment decision-making.\n\n16:45–17:00 | Q&A and Discussion\n\nOpen floor for questions from both in-person and online participants.\n\nRoom: 909 B\ , Bldg: Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering\, Imperial Col lege London\, Exhibition Rd\, South Kensington\, LONDON\, England\, United Kingdom\, SW7 2AZ\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/532096 LOCATION:Room: 909 B\, Bldg: Department of Electrical and Electronic Engine ering\, Imperial College London\, Exhibition Rd\, South Kensington\, LONDO N\, England\, United Kingdom\, SW7 2AZ\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ie ee.org/m/532096 ORGANIZER:f.rajaei-najafabadi@imperial.ac.uk SEQUENCE:36 SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Power System Resilience with a Focus on Investment Planning URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/532096 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">T he increasing frequency of high-impact\, low-probability (HILP) events\, s uch as extreme weather and natural disasters\, has exposed the limitations of traditional reliability-centred planning and operation of power system s.
