Energy Infrastructure Resilience
Framework and Sector-Specific Metrics
1
The Purpose of This Exercise
• The President mandated a Quadrennial Energy
Review to be jointly conducted by several US
Departments.
• The concepts on resilience being discussed
today will establish a foundation for a national
roadmap in resilience, including:
– Strategic national thrusts
– R&D thrusts
2
Defining Resilience
Presidential Policy Directive (PPD) 21 “the ability to prepare for and adapt to changing conditions and withstand
and recover rapidly from disruptions. Resilience includes the ability to
withstand and recover from deliberate attacks, accidents, or naturally
occurring threats or incidents.”
-PPD-21: Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience
“without some numerical basis for assessing resilience, it would be
impossible to monitor changes or show that community resilience has
improved. At present, no consistent basis for such measurement exists. We
recommend therefore that a National Resilience Scorecard be established.”
-Disaster Resilience: A National Imperative, National Academy of Sciences
3
Goals For Today
� Begin a discussion about how to measure resilience
� Explore a general framework for developing energy resilience metrics
� Discuss ‘prototype’ resilience metrics for Oil, Gas, and Electricity
� Review plausible use-cases for electricity resilience metrics
� Collaboratively outline next steps
4
Takeaway Points
- R&D is needed to address this critical national
problem.
- Metrics are needed to enable resilience goals
and decisions for our US national strategy.
- The proposed framework applies common
principles across energy sectors
- We’re looking forward to your help!

Resilience-Enhancing Activities
� Utility prepares for hurricane
• Pre-positions recovery supplies
• Key assets outside of flooding areas
• Charges battery reserves
� While trying to cope with effects of damage, the utility
• Brings backup generation online
• Reconfigures lines to circumvent damaged assets
• Uses battery and reservoir discharge
� More rapid, less resource-intensive recovery

SCENARIO CONCEPTS FRAMEWORK CASES SUMMARY

Definition of a Metric
• A metric is a measure of something
– The unit ‘inch’ measures distances
– ‘Miles per hour’ measures speeds
• Metrics should not be confused with the values
that populate them
– 60 mph is an actual speed, where 60 populates the
metric
• We will be making a ‘speedometer’ for resilience
18
Resilience Complements Reliability
• Reliability is commonly applied to electric power, but
is informally applied to oil and gas sectors.
• This work does not seek to re-define, displace, or
extend existing reliability metrics
• We define resilience to be risk-based, with focus on
includes high consequences low probability threats
19
What Resilience Metrics Have to Do
– inform decision making
– provide validity (they properly discriminate)
– are repeatable (robustness to uncertainty)
– are feasible (implementable)
– be useable in a planning or operating context
– allow for uncertainty quantification
– be useable in an analytic context (such as an
optimization algorithm)
– the resiliency framework must be scalable
20
Metrics Inform Better Decision Making
Broad Categories of Decision Making For Energy
Infrastructure Systems
1. Policy decisions- how to direct national strategy
2. Planning decisions- whether to inform capital
investments
3. Operational decisions- informing real-time
decision making

The Form of Resiliency Metrics
• Our proposed
resilience metrics
take the form of
probability density
functions

Many PDFs exist for the
same system. They
reveal resilience for
different threats and

Challenges
• Strategic
– Stakeholder engagement
• Interdependencies
– Common models, knowledge sharing
• R&D
– Decision support tools, consequence estimation

Energy Resilience is a National Priority
• Energy resilience metrics are needed to make
measure baselines and create goals
• Metrics should allow depth of application, but
should simplify when desired
• R&D will be needed for advanced decision
support
• Success will depend on a multi-disciplinary
team
