To address the vulnerability of Integrated Energy Systems (IES) to disruptions and enhance their resilience, this study employs an approach integrating Energy Routers (ER) into IES. The study minimizes total cost as the objective function and defines Expected Energy Not Supplied (EENS) as the core resilience metric. Focusing primarily on power systems and electrical loads, it employs randomly generated scenarios to compare traditional Business-As-Usual (BAU) operation with the innovative ER-integrated mode, analyzing metric variations across modes. Optimization model results show EENS reduced by 19.02% and total cost decreased by 18.94%. Furthermore, simulation results demonstrate that ER integration positively impacts metrics such as total load curtailment reduction and generator ramping capacity. This validates ER's crucial role in resilience enhancement and confirms the proposed methodology's feasibility and effectiveness.
