resilience, assessment, quality-quantitative and deterministic methods, optimization modelsAbstract
The resilience approach has been actively developing since the early 2000s as an alternative to risk management due to the growing number of various threats, on one side, and the increase in requirements for the reliability of critical infrastructure, on the other side. The purpose of this investigation is to summarize the existing foreign literature to fill the methodological gap in Ukrainian science on the assessment of infrastructure resilience, in particular, energy and heating. It has been established that of the entire available list of approaches to assessing critical infrastructure resilience, the most widespread and interesting for application in the energy sector are qualitative-quantitative and deterministic methods and optimization models. The investigation revealed a wide range of proposed deterministic methods, based on single or a couple of indicators, to assess system resilience. They are simpler but require precise quantitative data and are less well aligned with the conceptual framework of the resilience approach. The last drawback of deterministic methods is partially or completely eliminated by qualitative-quantitative methods, which makes them more suitable for assessing the resilience of energy systems. Optimization models require a higher quality of the data used, which imposes certain restrictions on indicators for assessing resilience. In optimization models for assessing the resilience of critical infrastructure systems, in particular, energy, economic indicators embedded in the models are often used. However, in most cases, new functions that describe the resilience of the system are integrated into existing models. It has been found that along with this, more complex solutions have become widespread, which propose integrating into models maximization functions that describe not only the economic aspects of resilience, but also technical, environmental and socio-organizational ones. This approach has a number of advantages that characterize the resilience of the system from the standpoint of its life cycle, while covering all key dimensions of resilience (technical, economic, social, organizational).
