Resilience Framework, Methods, and Metrics for the Prioritization of Critical Electrical Grid Customers

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The subject approached in this paper is very interesting, but I but I recommend clarifying some issues:

-             The Introduction is well supported by the references, but at the line 128, please avoid the listing [38-59], it is recommended to explain what the approach in these papers was.

-             In the Figure 1, please specify the measurements units on the axes, and also what is the duration in time

-             Then, you specify that the Figure 1 is taken from the [41], then at the line 206, you speak about the same figure, but you have now the reference [69]. Please clarify this aspect!

-             In figure 2, you mention something about a trajectory and a resilience curve, but the figure does not show very clearly where exactly they are positioned

-             It is not necessary to repeat the equations (2) and (4) in the Section 3, if you mention them already with the numbers.

-             The own contribution of the authors in this paper is not very well highlighted. In Table I, please explain how did you choose Ptc, the weighting of a customer type? Also, it is not very clear how it was calculated the Value of the resilience metric from Table 2, using formula (2). It should be better explained how you chose the rise time and the fall time from the equation (2).

Also in Table 3, line Residential loads, you should divide to 300, not to the total load 316.

Reviewer 2 Report

This paper focuses on assessing power system resilience. However, some descriptions are not clear. Some revisions are necessary in the manuscript.

1.       It is suggested to refine the title to reflect the core content of the paper.

2.       Please further analyze the specific definition of power system resilience and its influencing factors.

3.       It is suggested to write contributions in stripes.

4.       Please add further analysis about the impact of the size of the power system on the evaluation results.

5.       Compared with reference [72], please indicate what improvements have been made to construct a quantitative model and metrics of electrical grids’ resilience.

6.       According to Fig 1, please further analyze the influence relationship between disruption duration and residual performance.

7.       In this study the authors have focused on impact of customers and different types of resources on power system. The comparisons of the system impact considerations are suggested to supply to indicate advantages of your work, which can refer to：[a] IEEE Trans. Power Systems, DOI: 10.1109/TPWRS.2022.3142969; [b] Journal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy, vol. 9, no. 4, pp. 919-929, 2021; [c] IEEE Trans.
