Resiliency of Power Distribution Systems
Author: Anurag K. Srivastava (Editor), Chen-Ching Liu (Editor), Sayonsom Chanda (Editor)
A revolutionary e-book covering the relevant concepts for resiliency-focused advancements of the distribution power grid
Most resiliency and security guidelines for the power industry are focused on power transmission systems. As renewable energy and energy storage increasingly replace fossil-fuel-based power generation over the coming years, geospatially neighboring distributed energy resources will supply a majority of consumers and provide clean power through long transmission lines. These electric power distribution systems—the final stage in the delivery of electric power—carry electricity from the transmission system to individual consumers. New distributed devices will be essential to the grid to manage this variable power generation and enhance reliability and resilience while keeping electricity affordable as the world seeks solutions to climate change and threats from extreme events.
In Resiliency of Power Distribution Systems, readers are provided with the tools to understand and enhance resiliency of distribution systems—and thereby, the entire power grid. In a shift from the present design and operation of the power system, the e-book is focused on improving the grid’s ability to predict, adapt, and respond to all hazards and threats. This, then, acts as a guide to ensure that any incident can be mitigated and responded to promptly and adequately. It also highlights the most advanced and applicable methodologies and architecture frameworks that evaluate degradation, advance proactive action, and transform system behavior to maintain normal operation, under extreme operating conditions.

Solar Energy Squad: Illuminating a Sustainable Future
Solar energy is a renewable form of energy that harnesses the power of the sun to generate electricity or heat. It is considered one of the cleanest and most abundant sources of energy available to us. Solar energy technologies have advanced significantly over the years and are increasingly being adopted as a viable alternative to traditional fossil fuel-based energy sources.
Governments and organizations around the world are increasingly investing in solar energy as a key part of their sustainable energy strategies. The continued development and adoption of solar energy technologies hold great potential for a cleaner and more sustainable future.
Solar Panels: Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) panels, are the most common way to capture solar energy. These panels are made up of interconnected solar cells that convert sunlight directly into electricity. When sunlight hits the solar cells, it excites the electrons in the cells, creating a flow of electricity.
Solar Thermal Systems: Solar thermal systems use sunlight to heat water or other fluids. These systems are commonly used for heating water in residential and commercial buildings or for generating steam to produce electricity in large-scale power plants.
