2.1. Energy system resilience. Resilience is a broad concept of "bouncing back" (literal translation of the Latin word "resiliere" [ 51 ]) that allows application in many fields, but is difficult to precisely define [ 52 ]. The vague definition is found to be the most common critique of the resilience concept [ 52 ].
