Recent climate-change driven extreme events and natural hazards, such as severe storms, hurricanes and earthquakes, have placed resilience in the spotlight of key stakeholders and policy-makers in the power system community worldwide. There is a growing concern over the critical need to address and boost resilience to such disastrous events, which are referred to as black sky hazards. This talk will share experiences and applications from relevant national and international research projects in the area of resilient power systems planning and operation. It will cover conceptual frameworks for better understanding the multi-faceted concept of resilience and advanced quantitative techniques based on specifically designed resilience metric systems, as well as risk-based and integrated planning approaches to support the decision-making on designing resilient power systems. The talk will conclude with insights on ongoing national and international relevant efforts (including activities in international professional bodies, such as IEEE and CIGRE ), further highlighting the recognition by the global power system community of the pressing need to move towards a more resilience-oriented engineering.

Biography: Dr Mathaios Panteli is a Lecturer in Power Systems in the Power and Energy Division, School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, The University of Manchester, UK. His main research interests focus on reliability, risk and resilience of future, low-carbon power networks, system integration of distributed energy resources and integrated modelling of co-dependent critical infrastructures. He has an extensive publication record in these areas and has been invited to give numerous seminars and talks in world-leading Universities, conferences and organizations. He currently leads/is involved in research projects of total worth over £10m in the areas of resilient and sustainable power systems planning and operation. Dr Panteli is an IEEE Senior Member, the co-chair and technical coordinator of the CIGRE working group C4.47 “Power System Resilience” and an invited member in multiple working groups in IEEE and CIRED . Notably, he is also the recipient of the 2018 Newton Prize, an annual prize awarded by Newton Fund, UK, to research projects between UK and Newton countries that demonstrated excellence in innovation, research and impact.
