The Concept of Ensuring the Strong Sustainability of Ukraine's Electric Power Industry in the Conditions of Terrorist and Military Threats

Abstract

To support the strong sustainability of the energy sector in the conditions of terrorist and military threats, the concept of structural variability of the electric power industry is proposed. Structural variability is defined as the power system's ability to form such a number of subsystems and electrical connections between them that enables the operator to control the structure of the system and, in this way, ensure the hard stability of the power sector in conditions of purposeful destructive actions. We proposed a model of distributed market management of a structurally variable electric power system. The model is based on the decomposition of a single liberalized market into an upper-level market and regional markets interacting with each other according to uniform rules.
