Analysis of Vulnerability and Recoverability of the Energy System in China Based on Inoperability Input-Output Model and a Dynamic Extension

Abstract

In this paper, the Inoperability Input-Output Model (IIM) is used to simulate the degree of functional decline of the energy sectors under the perturbation of demand and supply. The Dynamic Inoperability Input-Output Model (DIIM) is used to simulate the time-varying operation state of the energy sectors. The paper then performs some case study that utilizes accounts from 2012 Input-Output Tables of China. The vulnerability and recoverability of energy system are analyzed by using relevant indicators in order to manage and develop the energy system.
