RECIPE: Resilient Infrastructures for the Swiss Energy Transition

  • Coordinator: Prof. Giovanni Sansavini, Reliability and Risk Engineering (RRE)
  • Deputy Coordinator: Dr. Turhan Demiray, Research Center for Energy Networks (FEN), ETH Zürich
  • Integration Expert: Dr. Adamantios Marinakis, Research Center for Energy Networks (FEN), ETH Zürich
  • KTT Expert: Johanna Zwahlen, external page Zoï Environment Network

Short summary: RECIPE studies the risks, associated with the energy transition and climate change, that Switzerland can be exposed to in the coming 25-30 years. RECIPE will identify hazards and develop vulnerability storylines for the interdependent energy and ICT infrastructures of Switzerland. The consortium will assess the hot spots (infrastructure criticalities) based on systemic impact on the Swiss economy, society, vital resources, and ecosystem. The consortium’s ambition is to propose resilience enhancements for the quantified risks and vulnerabilities harmonized with the energy transition goals.

RECIPE leverages the complementarities of the academic and industrial partners. The team encompasses experts in risk and reliability engineering, energy networks, economic development, climate extremes, digital twins and machine learning, consumer decision-making, cyber-physical systems, public policy, and strategic climate mitigation. These experts will work closely with communication/energy infrastructure owners, who are also part of the consortium.
