Energy efficiency, flexibility, and robustness can promote system sustainability and decarbonization under low-impact and high-probability events, whereas energy resilience is significant to survive power systems when suffering from high-impact and low-probability events. However, energy resilience is at its pregnancy stage with inconsistency in multiple perspectives, ranging from concept definition to quantifi-cation approach. Moreover, the consideration of energy resilience will conflict with energy efficiency, calling for the necessity on trade-off solutions. In this study, in order to ensure the survivability of district power systems when suffering from extreme events, an up-to-date review on concept definition and quantification approach of energy resilience was conducted, together with distinguished boundary and correlation with reliability, robustness, and flexibility in multi-energy systems. Recent advancement in distributed renewable systems, electric vehicles, peer-to-peer energy sharing, electrification and hydro-genation in power systems was provided, together with their potential contributions in future smart energy systems. By enabling each agent to become a power supply agent, a typology transformation from centralized to distributed energy prosumers was proposed, with an intermediate step-by-step transition from centralized power plants to distributed energy prosumers. Afterwards, multi-scale applications and future prospects of energy resilience are provided, including resilient heating/cooling of buildings, dynamical downscaling for robust design on urban morphology, mobility-based interactive energy shar-ing in regional districts, and smart microgrids with V2X (vehicle-to-everything) and energy flexible build-ings. This study can highlight the significance in district energy resilience with joint and continuous endeavors and tradeoff solutions, during energy planning, design and operation stages.(c) 2022 Elsevier B.V.
