Energy informatics (EI) is the area of research that addresses the application of technology to resolve complex problems in the energy domain. Goebel et al. (BISE 6:25–31, 2014) provided an EI research framework to encompass all aspects of EI research. Due to rapid EI improvements, many current research areas have not been incorporated into this framework. Specifically, this research posits that grid reliability is an underrepresented research area and should be incorporated into the framework. The rapidly changing nature of energy generation, and new developments in the electric-power network, are driving the need for grid reliability research. The goal of this paper is to extend the EI research framework offered by the Goebel et al. through a systematic review of current literature. This literature review includes current publications (2015–2017) in power utility and technical reference libraries together with the earlier foundational EI papers. The systematic literature review is based on a broad automated search of appropriate digital sources (IEEE Xplore and the Web of Science) using relevant search terms. The paper also details the components of grid reliability research as well as their accompanying use cases. The expanded EI research framework presented in this literature review should help researchers identify areas for future research endeavors. In the extended EI research framework, service reliability is now included as a third research component adding to the existing energy efficiency and renewable-energy supply components.

电网可靠性研究

能源信息学（EI）是研究领域，致力于解决能源领域中复杂问题的技术应用。Goebel等。（2014年BISE 6：25–31）提供了一个EI研究框架，涵盖了EI研究的各个方面。由于EI的快速改进，许多当前的研究领域尚未纳入此框架。具体而言，该研究认为网格可靠性是一个代表性不足的研究领域，应将其纳入框架。能源生产的日新月异，以及电力网络的新发展，都推动了对电网可靠性研究的需求。本文的目的是扩展Goebel等人提供的EI研究框架。通过对当前文献的系统回顾。这篇文献综述包括电力实用程序和技术参考库中的最新出版物（2015-2017年）以及早期的基础EI论文。系统的文献综述基于使用相关搜索词对适当数字源（IEEE Xplore和Web of Science）的广泛自动搜索。本文还详细介绍了网格可靠性研究的组成部分及其随附的用例。本文献综述中提出的扩展的EI研究框架应有助于研究人员确定未来研究工作的领域。在扩展的EI研究框架中，现在将服务可靠性作为第三个研究组成部分，增加了现有的能效和可再生能源供应组成部分。
