Grid & asset resilience

What keeps your asset operating when conditions change?

Use SSI-ENN software to look beyond the asset boundary. Model how grid disturbances, heat, flood, water and communications dependencies can affect continuity, revenues and recovery.

Coverage across all OECD countries.

Full capability is live for Italy; other countries upon request. Local data, asset type and reporting scope are confirmed for each engagement.

One disruption can reach beyond one site.

A grid interruption may stop pumping or cooling. A communications failure may restrict control. A heat event can stress generation, networks and consumption at the same time. The investment question is which dependency matters at your location, and which intervention makes a useful difference.

Illustrative relationships between an asset and nearby services. Actual supply links, backup and recovery limits require local verification.

SSI-ENN uses a digital twin of the grid, enriched with socioeconomic, climate and resilience factors, to give these questions a structured starting point. Local operating data and engineering review establish which dependencies apply to your asset.

Flexibility example · illustrative assumptions

A service limit can change the preferred action.

Suppose a grid team needs 6 MW of relief for three hours: 18 MWh in total. Compare two options after checking the essential services they must preserve.

Water-pumping flexibility

A water-reserve limit permits one hour at 6 MW.

6 MWh deliverable12 MWh from other measures

Industrial flexibility

An assumed 5 MW remains available for three hours.

15 MWh deliverable3 MWh from other measures
9 MWh

less supplementary relief is needed with the industrial option. It becomes preferable if its full cost is lower and the same safety conditions are met.

Illustrative calculation. Both options meet the same 18 MWh requirement with supplementary measures; costs and availability determine the preferred option.

Three decisions, one evidence trail.

Where is the exposure?

Compare locations and assets by hazards, infrastructure dependencies, affected services and available recovery resources.

What should we do first?

Compare safeguards, storage, redundancy or operating changes against their cost, feasibility and contribution to continuity.

What remains at risk?

Document the assumptions, residual exposure and evidence behind a decision, so stakeholders can understand and revisit it.

Useful to investors, operators and grid teams.

For an investor, resilience analysis can test an acquisition or expansion assumption. For an operator, it can focus maintenance and contingency planning. For grid teams, it can help compare interventions by the capacity and critical services they support.

The approach can support evidence preparation for resilience obligations, including relevant CER requirements. Engineering, legal and regulatory responsibilities remain with the appointed specialists and responsible organisation.

Scenario outputs are tied to the supplied data and agreed scope. Potential connections identified from a model are verified locally before being treated as operational dependencies.
