Energy Infrastructure Security in the Digital Age

In this article, the current application of information technology in the energy infrastructure security will be introduced. The digital system can help us to identify the framework of energy infrastructure security, characterize the energy network, generate the strategy of self-recovery and handle the uncertainty of identified damage. It will also integrate the comprehensive evaluation of population distribution, roadway safety, the constraint of transportation routes, transportation capacity and capability for the optimal emergency response planning with the minimal potential impact to the community for the management of intelligent and secure energy infrastructure.
