Abstract
A method can be used for determining resiliency in a microgrid that includes a number of assets. The method includes obtaining status data about devices used to control the assets as well as about communication resources of this control, determining, based on the status data, the health and availability of each asset to assist each of a plurality of functions for handling disruptive events in the microgrid, determining a resiliency index of the microgrid in performing the plurality of functions, providing the resiliency index to a control system of the microgrid, comparing, in the control system, the resiliency index with a least one threshold, and changing the control of the microgrid if any of the thresholds is crossed.
