Towards Energy System Resilience

This **** open access book addresses theoretical objectives and operational issues for the conceptualisation and development of a resilience monitoring tool for energy systems. Based on the results of the project ReMoDigital - Resilience Monitoring for the Digitalisation of the energy transition supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, it offers a multidisciplinary perspective on the process of building resilient digital energy system. The book is structured in three main parts. In the first part, a theoretical basis is provided regarding resilience in relation to complex systems. In the second part, a predominant focus is placed upon governance issues associated to resilience. In the third part, the emphasis lies on how resilience has been or can be operationalised within various contexts of energy systems, including electricity grids, energy supply, transport systems, and digitalisation technologies. The book concludes with a synthesis on the main lessons-learned and with key recommendations distilled from all individual contributions. Overall, the book offers a comprehensive guide on the stepwise development of future resilient low-carbon energy systems, and addresses researchers, professionals and policy makers involved in the digitalised energy system transition.

This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited access Covers multidisciplinary aspects on understanding, governing, and operationalizing energy system resilience About resilient of digitized energy system, relevant to sustainable and digital development. Interdisciplinary With lessons-learned for scientists, practitioners, and policy makers on digitalised energy system transition
