Conclusions
• Quantitative resilience assessment has two distinct types of measurement: inherent
resilience and adaptive resilience.
• Inherent resilience can be measured with composite indicator based methods, while
adaptive resilience is measured with a probabilistic methods applied in computer
simulation tools.
• Indicator based methods are comparable, multidimensional and easy to use, but are
highly generalized, static (lacking the dynamic interaction) and are subjective in
weighting.
• Probabilistic methods applied in simulation tools can be used to perform different
scenario analysis, are precise in short term, but highly dependent on data availability,
often address only one sub-system and lack social aspects.
• Energy systems resilience assessment models should aim on including the dynamic
interaction between social and technological aspects of energy systems and provide an
output that can be used for comparison of different systems.
