Comprehensive resource focusing on natural hazards and their impact on power systems, with case studies and tutorials included Fundamentals of Power System Resilience is the first book to cover the topic of power system resilience in a holistic manner, ranging from novel conceptual frameworks for understanding the concept, to advanced assessment and quantifying techniques, to optimization planning algorithms and regulatory frameworks towards resilient power grids. The text explicitly addresses the needs and challenges of current network planning and operation standards and examines the steps and standard amendments needed to achieve low-carbon, resilient power systems. Practically, it provides frameworks to assess resilience in operation and planning and relevant quantification metrics. Case studies from around the world (real data and project developments as well as simulations) including windstorms, wildfires, floods, earthquakes, blackouts, and brownouts, etc. are included, with applications from the UK, Chile, Australia, and Greece. The text is further supported by problem, solutions, and tutorial examples for classrooms. Lastly, a companion website includes digital files with codes to run the book's examples in open-source software. In Fundamentals of Power System Resilience, readers can expect to find specific information on: <ul> <li>Classical reliability standards, covering the changing energy landscape and limitations of existing reliability-driven network planning and operation standards</li> <li>How resilience is interpreted in the power systems community, and characterizations and differentiation of threats</li> <li>Spatiotemporal impact assessment of external shocks on power systems, trapezoid applications to different events of different time-scales, and AC cascading models for resilience applications</li> <li>Conventional approaches to asset failure data representation and modeling of the relationship between weather/asset outages</li> </ul> Fundamentals of Power System Resilience provides fundamental knowledge of the subject and is an excellent supplementary reference for final undergraduates and postgraduate students due to its mix of basic and advanced content and tutorial-like exercises. It is also essential for regulators and practitioners for shaping the future resilient power systems.

The concept of Demand Response (DR) generally concerns methodologies, technologies and commercial arrangements that could allow active participation of consumers in the power system operation. The primary aim of DR is thus to overcome the “traditional” inflexibility of electrical demand and, amongst others, create a new powerful tool to maximize deployment of renewable energy sources as well as provide active network management solutions to help reducing the impact of limited grid capabilities. DR allows consumers to actively participate in power system operation, thus bringing new opportunities in emerging energy markets as well as tangible system benefits. In this sense, DR is considered one of the key enablers of the Smart Grid concept. However, DR also poses a number of challenges, particularly when “active demand” is connected to the Low Voltage network, thus affecting all the actors involved in the electricity chain. This book presents for the first time a comprehensive view on technical methodologies and architectures, commercial arrangements, and socio-economic and regulatory factors that could facilitate the uptake of DR. The work is developed in a systematic way so as to create a comprehensive picture of challenges, benefits and opportunities involved with DR. The reader will thus be provided with a clear understanding of the complexity deriving from a demand becoming active, as well as with a quantitative assessment of the techno-economic value of the proposed solutions in a Smart Grid context. Many research contributions have appeared in recent years in the field of DR, both in journals and conference proceedings. However, most publications focus on individual aspects of the problem. A systematic treatment of the issues to be tackled to introduce DR in existing electricity grids, involving the extended value chain in terms of technical and commercial aspects, is still missing. Also, several books have recently been published about Smart Grid, in which there is some mention to DR. However, again while DR is seen as a key pillar for the Smart Grid, there is no dedicated, comprehensive and systematic contribution in this respect.
