The recent developments in the research area of grid management and resilience have shown a significant shift towards integrating distributed energy resources (DERs) and advanced control strategies to enhance grid stability and efficiency. A notable trend is the focus on grid-forming inverters (GFMs) and their role in providing synchronous generator-like characteristics, which is crucial for maintaining grid stability in low-inertia systems. This approach is being complemented by decentralized autonomous control methods that ensure resilience-constrained operations, particularly during transient events. Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on energy equity, with new planning methods for distributed generator siting and sizing that consider the specific needs of vulnerable customer groups. The integration of residential HVAC systems into grid management strategies is also emerging as a promising area, offering localized solutions to voltage control issues caused by high penetration of rooftop solar PV. Furthermore, the concept of demand response is being redefined to better align with the decentralized nature of modern power systems, aiming to maximize the economic and environmental benefits of DERs. Overall, the field is moving towards more integrated, adaptive, and equitable grid management solutions that leverage the full potential of DERs and advanced control technologies.
