  4. Abstract:
  5. The power system is the foundation for a modern society, and its safe and efficient operation is the prerequisite for our social and economic life. Manmade attacks and natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, volcanic eruptions, and wildfires can cause temporary or permanent damages to the electric power system infrastructure. Wildfires are among the natural disasters rapidly growing in the last years. This has aroused growing attention toward the resiliency enhancement of power systems against wildfires. This paper reviews the activities developed to improve the resiliency of power systems, focusing on wildfires. In this regard, hardening and pre-event preparation, corrective actions and emergency responses, and restoration actions for power system resiliency enhancement against wildfires are evaluated and critically reviewed. © 2021 IEEE
