Critical infrastructures and risk analysis of electricity supply
نویسندگان
چکیده
Failures in critical infrastructures can cause major damage to society, and thus there is a need for a common approach to cross-sector risk analyses. This paper presents such an approach, which includes an extended preliminary hazard analysis and detailed risk analysis of electricity supply, carried out in a case study. The risk analysis approach constitutes an important basis for analyzing interdependencies between sectors and assessing overall risks of failures in critical infrastructures. The case study results show that the approach is a promising starting point for risk analysis of electricity supply interruptions and the consequences for dependent infrastructures.

Risk analysis of critical infrastructures emphasizing electricity supply and interdependencies
Failures in critical infrastructures can cause major damage to society. Wide-area interruptions (blackouts) in the electricity supply system have severe impacts on societal critical functions and other critical infrastructures, but there is no agreed-upon framework on how to analyze and predict the reliability of electricity supply. Thus, there is a need for an approach to cross-sector risk ana...
