The increasing penetration of distributed photovoltaic (PV) energy and other distributed energy resources (DERs) such as energy storage batteries, diesel generators, and mobile generators deployed in distribution grids must be properly controlled and coordinated to ensure reliable, resilient, and affordable grid operation in response to various operating conditions. Particularly, weather-induced power outages, such as natural disasters, are among the most common causes of power supply interruptions for distribution grid operations [E-1]. Distributed PV and DERs feature advanced grid supporting capabilities and can potentially enhance power supply continuity during and after extreme weather events. To leverage PV and other DERs to provide resilience benefits while ensuring operational and economic feasibility, distribution grids must be carefully designed, proactively managed, and safely operated through a comprehensive framework.
