Resilience of Electricity Infrastructure
ثبت نشده
چکیده
2. Resilience is not achieved by picking off and solving individual problems but results from the inter-play of all the multiple inter-related components and factors that form the whole electricity system. The lessons that can be learnt from the last period when electricity resilience was an issue, the 3 day week in the 1970s, are of limited value in the current context because both the underlying issues and the opportunities for resolving them are significantly more diverse.

Integrated Approach to Assess the Resilience of Future Electricity Infrastructure Networks to Climate Hazards
Electricity systems are undergoing unprecedented change, with growing capacity for low-carbon generation, and an increasingly distributed approach to network control. Furthermore, the severity of climate related threats is projected to increase. To improve our understanding of the risks from these changes, this paper presents a novel modeling approach to assess the resilience of future electric...
متن کاملEvaluating infrastructure resilience to extreme weather – the case of the Dutch electricity transmission network
This paper reports the development and results of a model exploring the resilience of the Dutch electricity transmission infrastructure to extreme weather events. Climate change is anticipated to result in an increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events over the coming decades. Situated in a low-lying coastal delta, the Netherlands may be particularly exposed to certain type...
متن کاملResilience and adaptability of infrastructures – A complex adaptive systems perspective
While we rely on the continuous functioning of infrastructures such as water, electricity and Internet, 100% uptime is not possible. Infrastructure systems must therefore be resilient – they must be capable of flexing in response to disruptions and recovering quickly. In this paper we explore options for supporting infrastructure resilience from a complex adaptive systems perspective. Building ...
متن کاملEvolving a climate-resilient electricity infrastructure in the Netherlands
A resilient electricity infrastructure is one which preserves continuity of service despite perturbations in its environment, if it fails, it does so gracefully, not catastrophically. Electricity infrastructures globally are undergoing a low-carbon transition with a yet-to-be defined endpoint. What will be the impact of these transitions on network resilience? How can we steer them to foster re...
متن کاملMaturity and Process Capability Models and Their Use in Measuring Resilience in Critical Infrastructure Protection Sectors
This paper provides a literature review and survey of maturity and process capability models, Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) tools and frameworks to identify strategies for assessing and measuring resilience and risk management capabilities, with a specific focus on the electricity generating sector. The focus is on the use of models such as CERT-RMM, and others, as a means of address...
