ISCUSSION
The
Resilience Index is the measure of the
potential ability of an
energy
system to recover after changes introduced by the respective indicator change.
In this exercise, four indicators were used for the evaluation of the system. In
designing specific cases, individual cases
are anticipated with single indicator
change equal to
zero and other indicator changes as specified in table 2.
Results obtained by this analysis are presented as the agglomerated
indicators reflecting constrains introduced for every case. It is of interest to
notice specific cases.
Case 1 is reflecting a situation, which imposes zero Economic Indicator
Change while other indicators have values as specified in table 2. Regarding
obtained results for this case it reveals that
the agglomerated indicator rating
with the priority to Option 4 -Social Indicator Change with other options rated
as shown in table 2. It is of interest to notice that this case is designed with the
aim to show the effect of economic indicator change on the ability to avoid,
minimize, withstand, and recover from the effects of adversity, whether
