DURATION:
Fridays, 10:15 to 13:45

6 ECTS

In this course students will

  • analyze, and critically understand different definitions of resilience and fundamental concepts relevant in the context of energy systems analysis (e.g. complexity, homeostasis, equilibria, stressors,…)
  • understand and interlink assessment methods, principles and theories for resilience analysis of energy supply systems in different scientific disciplines
  • critically evaluate the suitability, meaningfulness and implications of different resilience-related indicators, theories and assessment methods from several disciplines
  • identify main barriers, potentials and driving factors for improving one selected assessment approach in the context of its application to a case study
