The aggregate energy sector criticality risk assessment

One of the aims of this work is to create a method of identification of critical elements (elements or groups of elements) in the energy infrastructure, and this method should allow ranking these critical elements by relevance to consumers (the consumer could be from the systems of different energy sector).The risk estimate of an element is one of the proposed sorting criteria for critical elements or their groups. It allows assessing the importance of the combination of critical elements and takes into account the probabilities of faults of these combinations. The key result of the research is the identification of the weakest links in the system, namely those elements, the failure of which (together with other elements) would lead to the worst consequences for the consumers and response to the availability of the infrastructure element.
