This exercise is aimed to demonstrate the potential to use of resilience
index in the assessment of the
safety of the selected energy system.
In this analysis, we will consider a coal fired power plant of 300 MW in
condensed regimes [12]. Due to the limited availability of data, this exercise
will be limited to the economic, environmental, technological and social
aspects of the respective criteria. As
it
was defined, the Sustainability Index
time derivative is the measure of the Resilience Index. In this respect, the
