Abstract

WP4 has a central role in achieving RECIPE’s objectives. It is devoted into (i) quantifying the criticality of the considered infrastructures and (ii) identifying and quantifying the vulnerabilities of the Swiss energy system to the trends and hazards identified in WP1 throughout the energy transition scenarios. Criticality will be assessed by means of the methods developed and knowledge collected in WP3. WP4 aims at answering the following questions: (a) Which components (or combination of components) of the Swiss energy (and related ICT) infrastructures are critical for the well-being of the Swiss society and economy? (b) Under which conditions the criticality is changing (for the worse or the better)? (c) How can hazards propagate throughout the energy (and related ICT) system infrastructures and processes? (d) Which are the main vulnerabilities? (e) What combinations of hazards, trends and evolution scenarios make Switzerland more exposed to risks? WP4 will make up the first available criticality and vulnerability analysis which, at the same time, covers (i) an adequate representation of future scenarios (energy system, climate, ICT), (ii) a broad set of hazards selected by a multi-disciplinary team (WP1), (iii) the interactions among different infrastructures and societal systems at various spatial and time scales (WP2 and WP3), and (iv) an in-depth-analysis-based quantification of criticality (WP3). New methodologies will be developed, both interdisciplinary, such as the generative AI-driven system stressing for vulnerability identification, as well as transdisciplinary, applying the RECIPE’s transdisciplinarity approach on an analysis involving “information” (running of models), “consultation” (inputs from stakeholders, case studies) and “co-production” phases.
