Future National Energy Systems, Energy Security and Comprehensive National Defence

This study addresses energy security from the perspective of comprehensive national defence, especially interaction between military and civilian aspects defence. Civilian infrastructure is seldom configured or developed with defence in focus. Therefore, aim facilitating a system-level discussion, this takes two steps. The first step to develop indicators for assessing setting. second qualitatively assess effect on three different development scenarios related either local solar, wind, bio-power production storage; an increased resilience high voltage electric power transmission system; increase large hydropower nuclear production. identifies that there are positive systemic effects increasing diversity system, solutions do not need external supply risk creating large-scale if attacked. However, these changes system also lead affect warfighting Such can be met by updated tactics technology would give defending force advantage.
