Energy Security Assessment: A Review

Abstract:

Facing with increasingly serious problems such as energy depletion, global warming, world economic depression, and even political fluctuation, energy security gradually became a global concerned issue. Correspondingly, many studies on energy security have been conducted. Focusing on energy security assessment, a review is presented in this paper, covering the definition of energy security, assessment indicators of energy security, and assessment cases at different scales. It is concluded that a systematic model is required to simulate the energy system in a holistic way and to establish more objective and comprehensive indicators of energy security. The review is hopeful to shed light on the development of energy security study in the future.
