7. 5. Risk and Vulnerability Analysis of Large Scale Technical Infrastructures - Electrical Distribution Systems

   Author : Jonas Johansson; Industriell elektroteknik och automation; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : The thesis treats the subject of risk and vulnerability analysis of large-scale technical infrastructures. In particular the focus is on the development of methods for vulnerability analysis of electrical distribution systems. The methods and the concepts behind them should nevertheless also be seen as applicable to other technical infrastructures. READ MORE
