Three-Dimensional Concept of Critical Energy Infrastructure Risk Analysis

A three-dimensional concept of energy infrastructure risk analysis has been developed. Named infrastructure is considered as a distributed safety-critical system. The result of the analysis conducted in accordance with the principles of the introduced concept is a taxonomy of the contemporary means focused on decreasing the level of risks taking place in critical distributed energy infrastructure, including the cyber risks in particular. Named taxonomy, in turn, is in-tended to serve as a background for developing an effective strategy for ensuring the resilience of energy infrastructure. Taking into consideration the circumstances Ukraine currently faces, caused by the unprovoked full-scale invasion of the aggressor from the East, the specified problem is of significant importance. Obtained research results provide the grounding to consider that the share of cyber threats is growing nowadays. This, in turn, determines the importance of developing a contemporary strategy focused on delivering the resilience of energy infrastructure.
