T&D World article: Improving Grid Resiliency One Microgrid at a Time
Despite utilities’ best efforts to build the perfect grid, outages still occur. The important question to ask is this: When an outage occurs, how quickly and by what means will service be restored? The ability of the power grid to resume normal operations after a disruption is known as resiliency. In the Southeastern United States, the threat of hurricanes, ice storms and other severe storms cause the greatest disruptions for electricity customers. However, they are not the only perils. The T&D industry is filled with events that “almost occurred” but do not make headlines for anyone outside utility control rooms or the operational planning and engineering departments of electric utilities.
