Abstract
The frequency of extreme weather events has dramatically triggered numerous power outages in recent years. Therefore, the concept of power system resilience and its enhancement efforts gaining significant popularity among power engineers. This paper aims at investigating the resilience of power systems. Based on the existing literature, we provide a comprehensive review of current practices for the resilience of power systems from various perspectives. Firstly, several definitions and confounding characteristics of resilience in the power system domain are described. Furthermore, various curves for resilience and quantitative metrics were discussed followed by a summary of evaluation and enhancement strategies for power systems. The study provides a way of analysis to aid in the formulation of definitions, metrics, evaluation techniques, and improvement initiatives that are accepted worldwide.
