Course Description

Climate resilience refers to the capacity of energy systems to anticipate, absorb, adapt to, and recover from climate-related disruptions while maintaining essential services. It is distinct from vulnerability, which measures susceptibility to harm, and risk, which quantifies potential loss. Resilient energy systems are crucial for energy security, sustainability, and public safety. Regulatory frameworks increasingly emphasize resilience to protect critical infrastructure and ensure continuous energy delivery under adverse conditions.

What you'll learn in this course?

• Define climate resilience in the context of energy systems.

• Identify key risks posed by climate change to power generation and distribution.

• Explain methodologies to measure and quantify resilience in energy systems.

• Analyze climate-resilience metrics and performance indicators.

• Apply assessment frameworks to real-world energy systems.

• Develop strategies to enhance resilience of energy infrastructure.

Prerequisites

• Basic understanding of electrical energy systems and power-system reliability

• Familiarity with climate risks, renewable generation, or infrastructure planning is helpful
