SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This book explores the potential risks and vulnerabilities of the European electricity infrastructure, other infrastructures and our society as a 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."--Jacket.
