Quantifying the importance of elements of a gas transmission network from topological, reliability and controllability perspectives, considering capacity constraints
Résumé
Nowadays, critical infrastructures, like electric or gas transmission and distribution systems, rail and road transport or communication networks, are essential to the functioning of modern society. The European Union heavily relies on natural gas imports, thus the security of supply is among the priorities in the newly adopted EU Energy Strategy. Finding critical elements in the gas transmission network is of high importance from the security of supply point of vie
