The world has been experiencing natural disasters and man-made attacks on power system networks over the past few decades. These occurrences directly affect electricity infrastructures, thereby resulting in immense economic loss. The electric infrastructure is the backbone and one of the most essential components of human life. Thus, a resilient infrastructure must be constructed to cope with events of high-impact, low-possibility. Moreover, achieving resilience in the active distribution system (ADS) has been a vital research field of planning and operation of electric power systems. The incorporation of recent breakthrough technologies, such as micro- and smart grids, can make the distribution system become considerably resilient through planning-operation activities prior, during, and after an extreme event. This study offers the concepts premised on a systematic review of available literature by distinguishing characteristics between reliability and resiliency. Thereafter, the most relevant proceedings in conformity with an overview of the major blackouts, hardening and its guidelines, weather-related scenarios, taxonomies, and remedial actions are discussed. In addition, this research presents the planning, operational, and planning-operational attributes in response to catastrophes. Furthermore, a case study is conducted to support the review work, where the reliability and resilience of the ADS (IEEE 33-bus test system) are evaluated as performance indices with and without the addition of PV units. The performed research is laying out the importance of the distributed generation, such as PV, in the context of resilience, with the inclusion of different faults.

在过去的几十年中，世界一直在遭受自然灾害和对电力系统网络的人为攻击。这些事件直接影响电力基础设施，从而造成巨大的经济损失。电力基础设施是人类生活的中坚力量和最重要的组成部分之一。因此，必须构建有弹性的基础架构来应对高影响力，低可能性的事件。此外，在主动配电系统（ADS）中实现弹性已成为电力系统规划和运行的重要研究领域。结合最新的突破性技术（例如微电网和智能电网），可以通过在极端事件发生之前，之中和之后进行计划运营活动，使配电系统变得相当有弹性。这项研究通过区分可靠性和弹性之间的特性，提供了以对可用文献进行系统回顾为前提的概念。此后，讨论了与主要停电，加固及其指南，与天气有关的情况，分类法和补救措施的概述相关的最相关的程序。此外，这项研究还提出了应对灾难的计划，运营和计划运营属性。此外，还进行了一个案例研究以支持评审工作，其中在添加和不添加PV单元的情况下，将ADS（IEEE 33总线测试系统）的可靠性和弹性作为性能指标进行评估。进行的研究表明，在弹性的背景下，分布式发电（例如PV）的重要性，
