Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The purpose of this Special Issue is to study metrics that could be used for quantifying the resiliency of power systems. Additionally, another purpose of this Special Issue is to determine how such metrics would be calculated for which systems under what conditions. Distribution and transmission infrastructures expanded over a wide geographic area are always affected by continuously occurring weather-related disasters. Therefore, a safe and reliable operation is essential for the obtainment of resilient power systems able to survive in hard conditions. Metrics to be investigated in this Special Issue are to be quantitative and defined based on the topology, hardware, and efficiency of the systems, reliability indices, and also the type and severity of threats. The accurate assessment of each of these metrics could help to properly understand the concept of resilience in power systems. Additionally, another aim of this Special Issue is to obtain an appropriate assessment of power network resilience by selecting an appropriate set of these metrics according to the type of threat and goal.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

One of the main objectives of new operating regimes, such as transactional power systems, is to make the power grid more resilient to catastrophes and disturbances, while at the same time making it possible to supply electricity to the largest number of customers. Although this is true, it is well known among power system operators that not all customers are the same. The consequence of this is that any discussion around the impact of transactional power systems on power system resilience should consider the needs of its critical users (such as control centers, fire stations, and hospitals) over other users. In assessing power system resilience, a metric is needed that gives “bonus points” to those systems that, under all circumstances, can continue to provide electricity to their critical users. In order to serve as a parameter in the assessment of power grid resilience, the research presented here discusses the proportion of critical loads existing in critical infrastructures. Once the critical loads are characterized, the next step is the inclusion of these loads in resilience metrics. This paper proposes resiliency metrics in which certain customers (those categorized as critical) are assigned a higher weight than others. One thing to keep in mind is the fact that there is no one-size-fits-all approach for all power systems, and that the assignment of such weights to customers can vary significantly from one operator to another based on their unique systems and the current and expected states of their critical customers.
