Abstract: With the development of carbon-neutral economy, urban power grids are evolving towards low-carbon power grids. In this process, the low-carbon power grid presents the characteristics of the decarbonization of the power sector, the electrification of the end-use energy sector, and the expansion of the use of low-carbon fuels, while achieving carbon emission reductionl; such changes induce new challenges in the safe and stable operation of the urban power grid. Facing the increasing external security threats and changes in the meteorological environment, enhancing grid resilience becomes indispensable. This paper first analyzed the transformation and development trend of low-carbon power grids. Then, it summarized the basic characteristics that high-resilience low-carbon urban power grids should have, i.e. affordability, accessibility, and sustainability. Furthermore, from the perspective of game theory, the important techniques for improving the resilience of low-carbon power grids were reviewed. Finally, prospects of resilient low-carbon urban power grids were made to outline future research directions.
