15 Challenges of Opportunities for A Safer, More Reliable/Resilient Grid 14

16 Reliability vs. Resiliency The National Infrastructure Advisory Council on Resiliency the ability to reduce the magnitude and/or duration of disruptive events. The effectiveness of a resilient infrastructure or enterprise depends upon its ability to anticipate, absorb, adapt to, and/or rapidly recover from a potentially disruptive event. NATF s reference for Reliability vs. Resiliency RELIABILITY - defined as the ability of the system and its components to withstand instability, uncontrolled events, and cascading failures, during normal operation and routine (i.e., reasonably expected) events. RESILIENCY - defined as the ability of the system and its components (i.e., both the equipment and human components) to minimize damage and improve recovery from non-routine disruptions, including high impact, low frequency (HILF) events, in a reasonable amount of time. Inconvenience vs. mass human suffering and loss of lives 15
