Complementary to resilience, with emphasis on foresight and institutional coordination rather than system performance during and after an event.((Zilli, R., Angelova, E. H., Bindner, H.

-</WRAP> +**Grid-forming inverter** | An inverter that establishes its own voltage and frequency reference, enabling it to support grid stability independently rather than synchronising to an existing grid signal. Systems with high shares of inverter-based generation require grid-forming capability for voltage control and black start.((ENTSO-E Expert Panel.

 **Resilience vs. reliability** \\ **Resilience vs. reliability** \\
 Reliability concerns continuous electricity supply under normal operating conditions and foreseeable contingencies. Resilience concerns the system's response to high-impact, low-probability events and chronic stresses that exceed normal planning assumptions. A reliable system may lack resilience if it cannot cope with conditions it was not designed for. Reliability concerns continuous electricity supply under normal operating conditions and foreseeable contingencies.

 **Resilience vs. preparedness** \\ **Resilience vs. preparedness** \\
 Resilience describes the capacity to withstand, adapt to, and recover from disruptions. Preparedness describes the ability to anticipate risks and coordinate responses before disruptions materialise. A system can be resilient in its technical design while underprepared institutionally. The 2025 Iberian blackout illustrated this gap: renewable installations met technical performance standards individually, but the system lacked the grid-forming inverter deployment and cross-TSO coordination protocols that preparedness planning would have identified as necessary. Resilience describes the capacity to withstand, adapt to, and recover from disruptions.
