“…This is totally the case for the critical infrastructures which can be described as socio-technical systems [54,55]. Thus, a technical infrastructure, such as water distribution network, natural gas network or electric power network, can be seen as a large integrated socio-technical system that is built from objects linked together in a coherent system structure [56]. Besides, the second hypothesis is that the system has to reach a high level of complexity.…”

“…The functional complexity comes from the interactions of both physical and actor networks since they collectively form an interconnected complex network where the actors determine the development of the physical network, and the physical network structure affects the behavior of the actors [56]. This functional complexity is a major common feature of all critical infrastructures, characterized by dynamic behavior, nonlinearity, emergence [58], diversity [59] dispersed interaction and cross-cutting hierarchical organization [60].…”

Abstract. The vulnerability of critical infrastructures facing hazards is a burning issue for urban risks management. In this context, developing methodologies for analysing the causes and consequences of critical infrastructures vulnerability appears necessary for improving the proper functioning of cities that strongly depend on such infrastructures. The critical infrastructures are complex socio-technical systems in which the components are particularly interdependent. Interdependencies also exist between critical infrastructures. All these interactions may imply many failures caused by cascade effect in a context of risks. After a review of existing methodologies for assessing the interdependencies within and between critical infrastructures, the paper develops a global methodology based on dependability methods in order to automatically produce the scenarios of failures caused by cascade effect within a rail transport system, as an example of critical infrastructures, facing a flood hazard, as an example of urban risks. The paper discusses the generalizability of the methodology to other critical infrastructures.

Summary. With the continuous expansion of grid-connected power generation from renewable energy sources, such as wind and light, the forms of power sources are more diversified. The coupling and uncertainty of multiple energy sources will cause significant changes in the characteristics of the power system. Problems like the complexity of the power system lack a scientific and complete explanation. This paper comprehensively considers the regional weather conditions, the uncertainty of the output of wind and solar energy sources, and the time and space complementary characteristics of multiple power sources. Based on the theory of complex adaptive systems, a systematic and holistic optimization planning method is studied. Combining the idea of complementarity because of differences, a multipoint layout planning and design method for multienergy power systems is proposed to give full play to the synergistic effects of natural resources, achieve optimal resource allocation, and provide a theoretical basis for improving the consumption of wind and renewable energy. Taking an actual provincial power system in China as an example, through the comparison of production simulation calculations and multiscenario analysis and planning methods, the proposed method can significantly increase the consumption of wind and solar renewable energy.
