Power system encounters significant challenges for its resilient, stable and reliable operation given the recently incorporated renewable and dynamic sources and loads. These challenges not only exist in the operational control of the power systems but also the planning and market aspects. Specifically, the requirements of a resilient, reliable and sustainable power system will include the capability to survive disasters, ability to afford fluctuations from dynamic sources and loads, and the intelligence to operate and control with flexibility to system scales and changing topologies. Autonomous operation, for example, is a key way to achieve the enhancement of such features. This panel will present and discuss the needs, trends and insights over existing and future technologies to drive the strengthening of power grid resilience, reliability and sustainability, considering both operating and planning phases for transmission and distribution grids.
