Overview of Resilience and Theme Issue on the Resilience of Systems

A review on resilience assessment of energy systems

“…To overcome this obstacle, we adopted the structured paper selection, assessment and classification methodology illustrated in Figure 3. First, we analysed five recently published review studies including their references, namely Hosseini et al (2016b), Cimellaro (2016), Willis and Loa (2015), Jackson (2015) and Francis and Bekera (2014). We assumed that the publications collected from these studies provide a good starting point for our analysis.…”

“…Out of the 100 references that constitute this figure, 10 did not have keywords. For each of these references, we selected 3-5 keywords based on the Overview of recent resilience reviews Hosseini, Barker, et al, 2016;Cimellaro, 2016;Willis and Loa, 2015;Jackson, 2015;Francis and Bekera, 2014…”

“…However, more recently it has become apparent that additional efforts and considerations are needed beyond the well-established state-of-the-art to ensure efficient recovery from low-probability high-impact disruptive events (Panteli & Mancarella, 2015). As a consequence, increased attention is given worldwide to the resilience of infrastructure systems, which is considered a key property to adequately deal with disruptions, i.e., natural and man-made disasters (i.e., technical, human and organizational factors and intentional attacks) (Jackson, 2015). This view is strongly supported by the notion that not all hazards and threats can be averted (Cimellaro, 2016), as major disasters repeatedly demonstrated in the past decades (Garrick, 2008;Zio & Aven, 2013).…”
