This paper provides a literature review of methods and modeling techniques to estimate the
cost of power system outages, along with the value of outage mitigation or system resilience …

Over the past decade, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events have
significantly increased worldwide, leading to widespread power outages and blackouts. As …

Enhancing the resilience of power distribution systems to extreme weather events is of
critical concern. Upgrading the distribution system infrastructure by system hardening and …

Self-healing smart grids are characterized by fast-acting, intelligent control mechanisms that
minimize power disruptions during outages. The corrective actions adopted during outages …

Both frequency and intensity of natural disasters have intensified in recent years. It is,
therefore, essential to design effective strategies to minimize their catastrophic …

The primary purpose of this paper is to enhance the resilience of the distribution system (DS)
against the direct and indirect effects of extreme winds (EWs), considering the variety of …

The ever-increasing dependence on electrical power has posed more challenges to power
system engineers to deliver secure, stable, and sustained energy to electricity consumers …

With the rapidly increasing deployment of distributed energy resources (DERs), electric
power systems across the world are moving towards more distributed designs and …

Obtaining accurate solutions in an acceptable computation time for the problem of
distribution systems reconfiguration is very important because the topology of real …
