Understanding Power System Threats and Impacts
From the Background: "Understanding potential threats to a power system is an essential first step in supporting power sector resilience. It is important to assess both current and future threats, as well as the likelihood of these threats over time. Threats can be grouped in three categories, as highlighted below. 'Natural threats' resulting from acts of nature (e.g., severe weather, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, and solar flares), as well as wildlife interactions with the power system (e.g., squirrels, snakes, or birds causing short circuits on distribution lines). 'Technological threats' resulting from failures of systems and structures (e.g., defects in materials or water line disruption). 'Human-caused threats' resulting from accidents (e.g., cutting an underground line) or from intentional actions of an adversary (e.g., cyberattacks or acts of terror)."

Powering Post-COVID-19 Resilient Recovery with Green Stimulus
From the Introduction: "As the coronavirus (COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019]) pandemic spread globally in early 2020, many governments enacted lockdown measures as an initial containment response. These lockdowns, while effective in slowing infection rates, have also had substantial economic consequences. A series of supply and demand shocks, workforce and supply chain disruptions, and other impacts of the pandemic and ensuing lockdowns have upended the livelihoods for much of the world's population. The International Monetary Fund estimates, as of this writing, that global growth in 2020 will contract -4.4%. Other thought leaders anticipate that before the disease runs its course, COVID-19 will likely lead to a fundamental restructuring for many major economies. [...] This factsheet focuses on mid-term recovery and long-term planning to address the following question: 'What economic recovery solutions following the COVID-19 pandemic can support power sector resilience, support future growth, decarbonize electricity generation, and strengthen the power sector against future threats?'"

Battery Storage for Resilience
From the Background: "As the capital costs of battery storage systems are decreasing, new opportunities to cost-effectively deploy the technology, often paired with renewable energy technologies, are emerging. At the same time, the duration and frequency of natural disasters is increasing. As a result, a growing number of institutions are deploying battery storage systems as a resilient energy solution because traditional backup power solutions, like diesel generators, are not always sufficient, especially during longer-duration and larger-scale disasters. [...] This fact sheet describes how battery storage, along with additional generation sources, can be used both to provide cost savings while grid-connected and to provide backup power when the grid goes down."
