A resilient system can withstand disruptions, mitigate potential losses, and recover rapidly.
Planning for an unexpected event is a significant challenge, but one that the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s researchers in the Resilient Systems Design and Engineering Group within the Energy Security and Resilience Center are working to address.
In this interview, resilience researcher Jordan Cox described NREL’s innovative approach to analyzing system vulnerabilities, measuring risk, and keeping communities safe.I am an odd duck at NREL. In college, I became very interested in energy poverty, energy access, and energy security. I wanted to address these issues, so I pursued a Ph.D. in nuclear engineering as a promising solution to meet future needs.
Energy access is a never-ending process, even with renewable energy added to the mix. Although we are deploying gigawatts of energy capacity in developing countries, if we continue at our current pace, it’s possible that by 2050 more people will be without energy than there are today due to population growth.Resilience assessments are an important part of our Resilient Systems Design and Engineering Group’s research activities.
