The debate on the resilience of our energy systems has a central motivation in informing and shaping the transformation of our energy infrastructure. For that, resilience and vulnerability assessment needs to provide insights to policy and decision-makers on suitable pathways to shape the energy system and on interdependencies between paradigm changes (such as sector-coupling, digitalization or the importance of redundant or cellular structures) and the resulting system behaviour.
Providing a solid and informed basis for fulfilling the above mentioned aims requires models that shed light on possible system dynamics. A wide range of modelling and characterization approaches are coming up within the scientific arena. Some of them are:
