Optimal Operation for Resilient and Economic Modes in an Islanded Alaskan Grid
Legacy energy management systems for distribution system or microgrids are typically driven by economics. During extreme events, resiliency can be defined as ability of the system to keep supplying critical loads. Resilient operation during extreme events (e.g. avalanche in Alaska...
