abstract：with the increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events, how to improve power grid resilience is a critical issue that the electric power industry is facing. power grid resilience improvement measures including infrastructure hardening, response, recovery and restoration span multiple timescales from years to seconds and are interdependent with other infrastructures such as transportation networks. this presentation will discuss a number of challenging issues associated with decision support tool development for improved power grid resilience ranging from grid hardening investment strategies, restoration plan optimization for both transmission and distribution grids to repair crew scheduling and mobile emergency generator dispatch.
