sudden change of indicators is scaled in the single scale, and the time of
integration for all indicators is the same. The Resilience Index of the power
plant under consideration will be defined under specific constrains, namely,
the sudden change of specific indicators with other indicators being constant.
This approach will give us the possibility to validate the change of indicators
on the safety of the energy system under specific constrain.
2.6.1. Options
The following options of energy system resilience were taken into
consideration.
Option A - Economic Change - EcIC
Option B - Environnemental Change - EnIC
Option C - Technological Change - TIC
Option D - Social Change - SIC
It is of interest to note
that the design of individual options is linked to the
complexity of the energy system exposed by the different potential fluctuation
of the individual characteristic parameters of the system. Since the
characteristic parameters of the energy system reflect specific features of the
system, it is important to notice that every fluctuation of the characteristic
indicators should be investigated under multi-variable change. In this respect,
this analysis focused on the Resilience Index resulting due to multi-variable
fluctuations.
2.6.1.1. Option A - Economic Change
The design of Option A is based on the assumption to introduce the
Economic Indicator change of 0 cEuro/kWh [13], with an Environmental
Indicator change of 100 gr/kWh [14], a Technological Indicator change of 130
Euro/kW [15] and a social indicator change of 1.75 Jobs/kW [16] defined
within the same time increment (see also table 1).The validation of the
indicator changes is made for Option A with the calculation of the General
Sustainability Index change for individual cases reflecting respective
constrains. In particular, attention is focused on the introduction of constrains
on the mutual relation between options under consideration. Using selected
data the resilience value is determined for every case reflecting changes of the
