A Self-Study Resource

Welcome to our Self-studying area on Resilient Energy Systems. On the different pages you will find all the information that is given in the lecture “Resilient Energy Systems” at the University of Oldenburg by Dr. Herena Torio and her colleagues. A little bit of text, some figures and short videos from the lectures that were given in Winter 21/22 summarize the important aspects.

Learning outcomes

  • Understand different conceptional approaches of resilience and bring them to the context of RE Systems.
  • Understand interdisciplinary dependences and concepts required to design resilient RE Systems:
    • address technical
    • and non technical dimensions of resilience assessment
      (Social, Ecological…)
  • Get to know different methods for assessing/quantifying the concept of resilience for RE Systems design
  • Look at the role and sources of transformability and adaptability of energy systems.
  • Reflect on the strengths, weaknesses and flaws of the resilience concept for energy systems analysis

Making the link: people and resilience

The lecture “Resilient Energy Systems” is linked to a Case Study Seminar. Here, the introduced approaches are applied to a Mini Grid System in San Rafael (Colombia). You can find out more about the Resilient Energy System for the community of San Rafael (Colombia)
