VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS OF ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION
The main purpose of vulnerability analysis is to identify deficiencies in the design and management mechanisms of the energy infrastructure, which can contribute to the spread of a major disturbance on itself and, also, on interconnected critical infrastructures. The article introduces a developing approach to the analysis of the vulnerability of the energy infrastructure, which vulnerability assessment characterizes in quantitative and qualitative form a drop in the productivity of the energy infrastructure after the impact of a major disturbance. The conceptual scheme of vulnerability analysis is considered as a chain processing, storage and analysis of natural and climatic data, time series values technological and socio-economic parameters functioning infrastructure facilities. Implemented as a distributed package of application programs, the developed approach to vulnerability analysis can be used to assess the effectiveness of the functioning of infrastructure facilities in particularly extreme conditions in order to form recommendations for monitoring the facility and the environment, as well as proposals for further development of facilities and their management from the point of view of protection from cereals. Also, some results of computational experiments to study the possibilities of scaling the computational scheme are given, formalizing the vulnerability assessment of energy infrastructure in the form of a set of parameters and operations on them.
