 ===== Why this matters =====
-Power grids are facing numerous challenges, driven by increasing complexity, higher energy demand, and a growing number of hazards/threats.((Zio, E., Aven, T. (2011). Uncertainties in smart grids behavior an modeling: What are the risks and vulnerabilities? How to analyze them?. //Energy Policy//, 39, 6308-6320.)) These changing circumstances have significant consequences. On the one hand, the risk of a grid failure is rising; on the other hand, risks are becoming increasingly difficult to calculate. In addition to that it raises questions about insurability and the possible rise of costs for maintaining, financing, expanding power grids.
