ABSTRACT
Modern military infrastructures require high capability standards to support critical missions. In the era of interconnected battlefields, military microgrids host strategic laboratories and complex facilities in the task of supporting critical missions. As such, military infrastructures require secure and reliable energy sourcing, which should be resilient to coordinated physical or cyber-attacks. In this context, flexible energy sources, self-healing coordination paradigms, and automatic decision-making tools must be integrated into the current infrastructure to enhance critical power systems and reduce the loss of load probability. This special session investigates the most promising enabling technologies aimed at enhancing the resilience of military power infrastructures, even under severe and unexpected conditions.
