Catastrophic events such as the Fukushima nuclear meltdown have intensified global interest in improving the resilience of electric power systems in East Asia. Defined as the ability to plan and prepare for, absorb, recover from, and adapt to threats, resilience represents the ability of engineered systems to take positive action under known and unknown stress. Recent corruption cases that caused the shutdown of multiple Korean nuclear power plants demonstrate that social dimensions such as management practices, public concern for nuclear power, and disaster protocols must be considered when measuring the resilience of the grid. However, resilience analysis of engineered systems often does not incorporate social dimensions and cannot measure disaster planning, preparation, or adaptation. Until a new method is developed that can link social and electric power infrastructure dynamics together, Korea's electric grid will remain fragile to disaster. This project seeks to create empirical network models of Korean institutions and electric power infrastructure to measure the resilience of the interdependent socio-infrastructure system. With resilience expert Dr. Jeryang Park at Hongik University, data about generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure will be collected to create a network model of the Korean grid.Korean resilience and electric power experts will be interviewed to create a network model of Korean electric power and disaster governance and management institutions. The models will be analyzed to determine their topological features that influence disaster planning and preparation, absorption, recovery, and adaptation. Furthermore, both models will be analyzed to determine interdependencies between social institutions and built infrastructure to identify resource and operations decisions that can reduce the impacts of future disasters. Overall, this project is a first step towards better analytical tools for resilience analysis and validated theories of coupled social-ecological-technological resilience. This NSF EAPSI award is funded in collaboration with National Research Foundation of Korea.

福岛核泄漏等灾难性事件，加强了全球对改善东亚电力系统恢复能力的兴趣。弹性被定义为计划和准备，吸收，恢复和适应威胁的能力，代表了工程系统在已知和未知压力下采取积极行动的能力。最近导致多个韩国核电站关闭的腐败案件表明，在衡量电网的弹性时，必须考虑管理实践、公众对核电的关注和灾难协议等社会因素。然而，工程系统的复原力分析往往不包括社会层面，无法衡量灾害规划、准备或适应。除非开发出一种新的方法，将社会和电力基础设施的动态联系在一起，否则韩国的电网将仍然脆弱。该项目旨在创建韩国机构和电力基础设施的经验网络模型，以衡量相互依赖的社会基础设施系统的弹性。与弘益大学的抗灾专家朴哲阳博士一起，收集发电、输电和配电基础设施的数据，创建韩国电网的网络模型。访问韩国抗灾和电力专家，创建韩国电力和灾害治理和管理机构的网络模型。将对这些模型进行分析，以确定影响灾害规划和准备、吸收、恢复和适应的拓扑特征。此外，这两个模型将被分析，以确定社会机构和建成的基础设施之间的相互依赖关系，以确定资源和运营决策，可以减少未来灾害的影响。总的来说，该项目是迈向更好的弹性分析工具和验证耦合社会-生态-技术弹性理论的第一步。NSF EAPSI奖是与韩国国家研究基金会合作资助的。
