This chapter aims to acquaint the reader with the discipline of grid architecture as the basis for introducing a structural approach to the definition, characterization, and analysis of electric power system resilience. It provides the reader with an appreciation for the concept that interconnection of grid elements is as important in the consideration of resilience as are the characteristics of individual grid components and systems. Resilience and reliability do have a relationship, but it is not simple. The Smart Grid Dictionary discussion suggests that resilience “impacts” reliability. A limiting factor has been the lack of a connection between foundational grid architecture principles and methods on the one hand and clearly defined relationships between resilience improvement objectives and actual means for assessing, planning, and implementing resilience measures on the other. At the core of this limitation is the need for principled definition, quantification, and valuation of the resilience impacts of grid architectures and architecture changes.
