Extending the reliability framework for electric power systems to include resiliency and adaptability
Frank A. Felder,Marie Petitet +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a cost-effectiveness analysis of reliability, resiliency and adaptability of power systems is presented, including common-cause failures, characterizing outages, enhancing the concept of the loss of load probability, considering social costs beyond economic ones, and explicitly assessing the probability that the supply-demand mechanism succeeds.
Water and Energy Nexus in Middle East, North Africa, and the United States
Aida Tabakovic,Elisabeta Poci +1 more
TL;DR: Water and energy are tied together closely as discussed by the authors and this symbiotic relationship is often referred to as the water-energy nexus, and there is a growing need for integrating the planning and design of energy and water systems.
