Abstract
High impact low probability "extreme events" can have serious impacts on the GB energy system. The GB energy system is rapidly transitioning, with an increased dependency on renewable generation and an increased reliance on electrification: a combination which will lead to greater system vulnerability. The increasing frequency of extreme weather events along with influences of other geopolitical events (COVID / war) can have both direct and indirect impacts on the system. This project sets out to better understand how whole-energy system resilience can be impacted by extreme events, identifying vulnerabilities, and informing future investment planning decisions.
