Section 1 of 5What is Grid Resilience?
Grid resilience is the ability of an electricity system to anticipate, absorb, adapt to, and rapidly recover from disruptions. As climate change increases the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, building resilient grids has become essential for reliable energy delivery.
The Growing Challenge
- • Hurricanes and storms damaging infrastructure
- • Wildfires threatening transmission lines
- • Heat waves overloading transformers
- • Flooding submerging substations
- • Cyber attacks targeting control systems
The Resilience Solution
- • Microgrids for localized power
- • Energy storage for backup power
- • Smart grid technologies
- • Underground infrastructure
- • Predictive maintenance systems
Resilience Stress Test Simulator
Test how different climate threats and disruptions affect grid stability. Select a scenario to see how stress levels build and recovery times vary.
Core Resilience Principles
Prevention
- • Hardened infrastructure
- • Redundant systems
- • Predictive maintenance
Recovery
- • Rapid response teams
- • Alternative power sources
- • Community coordination
