  This comprehensive review paper explores power system resilience, emphasizing
its evolution, comparison with reliability, and conducting a thorough analysis
of the definition and characteristics of resilience. The paper presents the
resilience frameworks and the application of quantitative power system
resilience metrics to assess and quantify resilience. Additionally, it
investigates the relevance of complex network theory in the context of power
system resilience. An integral part of this review involves examining the
incorporation of data-driven techniques in enhancing power system resilience.
This includes the role of data-driven methods in enhancing power system
resilience and predictive analytics. Further, the paper explores the recent
techniques employed for resilience enhancement, which includes planning and
operational techniques. Also, a detailed explanation of microgrid (MG)
deployment, renewable energy integration, and peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading
in fortifying power systems against disruptions is provided. An analysis of
existing research gaps and challenges is discussed for future directions toward
improvements in power system resilience. Thus, a comprehensive understanding of
power system resilience is provided, which helps in improving the ability of
distribution systems to withstand and recover from extreme events and
disruptions.
