6 FAQs about [Mexico microgrid resilience]
Are microgrids resilient?
In addition to studies on strategies adopted by microgrids for enhancing their resilience, studies on the resilience of particular components are also available in the literature. The failure of a distribution line and its impact on the resilience of a microgrid is analyzed in , where fragility curves are utilized to predict the line failure.
Is a microgrid resilient against cyber threats?
Microgrids can provide a backup source of power during grid outages and ensure the resilience of critical loads. However, this requires that the microgrid itself is resilient to both physical and cyber threats.
