Europe witnessed in the last years a number of significant power
contingencies. Some of them revealed the potentiality of vast
impact on the welfare of society and triggered pressing questions
on the reliability of electric power systems. Society has
incorporated electricity as an inherent component, indispensable
for achieving the expected level of quality of life. Therefore, any
impingement on the continuity of the electricity service would be
able to distress society as a whole, affecting individuals, social
and economic activities, other infrastructures and essential
government functions. It would be possible to hypothesize that in
extreme situations this could even upset national security. This
book explores the potential risks and vulnerabilities of the
European electricity infrastructure, other infrastructures and our
society as whole increasingly depend on. The work was initiated by
the need to verify the potential effects of the ongoing market and
technical transformation of the infrastructure, which is
fundamentally changing its operation and performance. The final aim
is to set the basis for an appropriate industrial and political
European-wide response to the risk challenges.
