This book presents cutting-edge research on the impact of energy dependence and strategies to mitigate it. As a crucial component of critical infrastructure, energy security is a top priority for nations worldwide. The protection of this infrastructure, along with the latest research tools and methodologies, is of significant interest to both policymakers and industry leaders.
The book delves into two primary areas of research: cybersecurity and physical security, summarizing the latest findings in these critical fields. The papers in this volume offer valuable insights for both academic and industrial audiences, addressing the pressing challenges of energy security.
Energy is integral to every aspect of our daily lives. Our comfort, as well as our safety, hinges on the uninterrupted supply of energy. Recent global events, particularly the Russian-Ukrainian war, have underscored the vulnerability of nations lacking sufficient energy resources. Europe's energy supply has been severely disrupted by sanctions, highlighting the need for energy resilience. However, this crisis has also accelerated the adoption of renewable energy sources, marking a pivotal shift towards sustainable energy solutions.
