Teilnahmevoraussetzungen
Kompetenzziele

After successful completion of the module students should be able to:

·         analyze, and critically understand different definitions of resilience and fundamental
          concepts relevant in the context of energy systems analysis (e.g. complexity, homeostasis,
          equilibria, stressors,…)

·         understand and interlink assessment methods, principles and theories for resilience analysis
         of energy supply systems in different scientific disciplines

·         critically evaluate the suitability, meaningfulness and implications of different resilience-
          related indicators, theories and assessment methods from several disciplines

·         develop a scientific discourse on suitable approaches for assessing particular aspects of a
          resilient energy system design in the context of a particular real-life case study

·         identify main barriers, potentials and driving factors for improving one selected assessment
         approach in the context of its application to a case study

·         perform a literature review, apply a selected resilience and extract the main related
         conclusions, arguing critically on them

·         present scientific results and conclusions both verbally and in written form, including
          quotation to a professional standard

Modulinhalte

The module “Resilient energy systems” provides the theoretical background for understanding main concepts and interdisciplinary scientific methods from the context of resilience assessment as well as their role in the debate towards resilient energy systems.

Resilient Energy Systems (Lecture & Seminar, 180 h workload):

·         Definitions and fundamental concepts in resilience analysis of energy systems (complexity,
          homeostasis, equilibria, feedback loops,…)

·         Approaches and methods for resilience assessment from different relevant disciplines:

-       epistemic approaches

-       resilience as guiding principle

-       aggregation methods for resilience assessment

-       cyber-security and informatics

-       environmental modelling

-       risk and vulnerability analysis

-       agent-based models

-       governance studies
