3.5.7. Conclusions
Resilience Index as the parameter of energy system is quantification of the
elasticity of the system. If the instant change of a single parameter introduced,
it leads to the Resilience Index defined with the exponential time change.
Multi-indicators change requires respective definition of Resilience Index
which include agglomerated indicator as the measuring resilience parameter of
the system.
Resilience Index of energy system expressed in the form of agglomerated
indicator gives opportunity to verify a complex system assessment complied
with potential mail function of the energy system and its evaluation. It is the
special interest to learn about the relation of among indicators leading to
degradation of energy system. In this respect the behavior of energy system is
vulnerable with the complex degradation.
It is of interest to establish appropriate methodology for the energy system
resilience measurement as the tool for quantitative verification of the system.
In particular there is a need for the resilience quantification as the safety
assessment parameter. The Energy system as the complex system has an
imminent need for the safety assessment and evaluation during operation.
Even if this paper is devoted only to the energy system, it is of the great
importance to recognize resilience as the system parameter to be analyzed as
the potential possibility for the quantification of safety of any system.
