Global Risks and Energy System Resilience

Global Risks and Energy System Resilience provides a comprehensive examination of the intricate interplay between various global risks and the resilience of energy systems. This essential reference delves into the complex geopolitical, economic, and financial factors that shape energy security today, offering a structured framework for understanding and addressing these challenges. The book covers crucial topics such as the evolution of energy system resilience, the development of an evaluation framework, and the quantification of the impacts of geopolitical, financial, and economic risks. This book follows the logical framework of “indicator measurement-impact assessment-scenario prediction.” It first analyses the current situation and provides an overview of global risks and the energy system resilience, measures the levels of different types of global risks and energy system resilience, and analyses the spatio-temporal evolution law. Second, the theoretical transmission mechanism of different kinds of risks on energy system resilience is analysed through literature review and theoretical review, and the actual impacts of different kinds of risks on energy system resilience are assessed by corresponding econometric models. Then, the influencing factors affecting the resilience of energy systems under the digital background are identified. The future development of the energy system resilience is then predicted. Researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals in energy strategy and policy evaluation, energy system resilience optimization, and risk avoidance policies will find this book invaluable for designing effective strategies to enhance energy security and stability. By bridging theoretical insights with practical applications, it equips readers with the knowledge necessary to navigate the complexities of today's energy landscape.
