Enhancing Resilience in Power Distribution Systems

Enhancing Resilience in Power Distribution Systems by Fangxing Fran Li; Qingxin Shi; Jin Zhao

Step into a practical, forward-looking guide that addresses one of the electric sector’s most urgent challenges: keeping distribution networks reliable in the face of extreme weather, cyber threats, and rapid technology change. This book combines rigorous analysis with actionable strategies to help utilities, engineers, planners, and policymakers strengthen grid performance where it matters most — at the distribution level.

Discover clear explanations of resilience concepts and modern approaches for assessment, planning, and operation. Topics include risk-based modeling, distributed energy resources (DER) integration, microgrid design and islanding strategies, restoration prioritization, and hardening techniques. Emphasis on real-world decision-making means readers learn how to translate theory into investment-grade plans and operational practices that reduce outage duration and social disruption.

Written by experienced authors Fangxing Fran Li, Qingxin Shi, and Jin Zhao, the text is both technically sound and accessible, making it useful for practitioners in utilities across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and developing regions seeking scalable solutions. Whether you’re a system planner, reliability engineer, asset manager, or regulator, you’ll gain frameworks and tools to evaluate resilience interventions and communicate value to stakeholders.

Practical, timely, and globally relevant, this book is an essential resource for anyone involved in grid modernization and climate adaptation.
