Assessing Resilience In Power Grids As A Particular Case Of Supply Chain Management, Gabriel Alejandro Montoya
Assessing Resilience In Power Grids As A Particular Case Of Supply Chain Management, Gabriel Alejandro Montoya
Theses and Dissertations
Electrical power grids represent a critical infrastructure for a nation as well as strategically important. Literature review identified that power grids share basic characteristics with Supply Chain Management. This thesis presents a linear programming model to assess power grid resilience as a particular case of Supply Chain Management. Since resilient behavior is not an individual or specific system's attribute but a holistic phenomenon based on the synergic interaction within complex systems, resilience drivers in power grids were identified. Resilience is a function of Reliability, Recovery Capability, Vulnerability and Pipeline Capacity. In order to embed heterogeneous variables into the model, parameterization …
