· 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
