Power Systems Resilience Enhancement through Renewable Energy Integration: Insights and Future Directions

Grid resilience, defined as a power system’s ability to endure and rebound from adverse events, assumes paramount importance in today’s ever-changing world. Conventional centralized power systems have exposed vulnerabilities to disruptions, ranging from natural calamities to cyberattacks. This paper underscores the critical role of renewable energy sources as decentralized alternatives that bolster grid resilience. These renewable sources offer a range of electricity generation options, fortifying the grid’s resilience against various challenges. Moreover, this study sheds light on the complexities involved in integrating renewables and underscores their indispensable role not only in mitigating environmental impacts but also in fortifying the power grid. As we embark on a transition towards a more sustainable future, it becomes increasingly evident that collaborative research efforts will be pivotal in unlocking the full potential of renewables to enhance grid resilience.
