indicators. It should be emphasized that the resilience index reflects the
essential parameter of the energy system under consideration.
2.6.1.2. Option B - Environnemental Change
Option B comprises the environmental change with the assumption of 0
gr/kWh, while other indicator values are 0.015 cEuro/kWh, 260 Euro/kW, and
3.3 Jobs/kW, respectively (see also table 1). The option with the zero change
of the environmental indicator represents the case with the Resilience Index
changes resulting from the changes introduced by respective change of other
indicators. In the determination of the change of indicators for this option, it is
anticipated that these changes are reflecting the same time change of other
indicators. It is of interest to notice that this option is also reflecting the same
time increment.
2.6.1.3. Option C - Technological Indicator Change
Option C represents the technology change equal to 0 Euro/kW and the
other indicators defined with the following characteristic values: an economic
indicator change of 0.023, an environmental indicator change of 200 gr/kWh,
and a social indicator change of 6.6 Jobs/kW (see also table 1). This option
comprises the fluctuation imposed by the multi-variable indicator change
expressed by numerical values of the time change of individual indicators.
2.6.1.4 . Option D - Social Change
Option C - Social Change is designed under the assumption that the social
Indicator change is 0, the economic indicator change of 0.046 cEuro/kWh, the
environmental indicator change is 400 gr/kWh, the technological Indicator
change is 520 Euro/kW (see also table 1). The social indicator change option
equal to zero is the option characterized with the other indicators having
maximum indicators change. This means that the fluctuations introduced are
the maximum potential change of the indicators.
2.6.2. Indicators Change
In this analysis, the characteristic indicators used the following change
indicators.
2.6.2.1. Economic Indicator Change - EcIC
The Electricity Cost [13] is used as the economic indicator. It is
anticipated that the maximum potential change of this indicator is 0.046
