Abstract :
The term "resilience" means the ability to prepare for and adapt to changing conditions and to withstand and recover rapidly from disruptions. Active distribution grids can provide support to system resilience in both aspects, more specifically to help system recovery and provide the necessary flexibility to adapt to changing conditions.
