This book presents methods and models for assessing reliability of supply and infrastructural dependency in energy distribution systems with multiple energy carriers. The three energy carriers of electric power, natural gas and district heating are considered. Models and methods for assessing reliability of supply in electric power systems are well documented, frequently applied in the industry and continuously being subject to research and improvement. On the contrary, there are comparatively few examples of formal reliability assessment models and methods applied to natural gas and district heating systems. This work aims at contributing to bridge this gap, considering the structural, operational and physical similarities and differences between the systems. The methods and approaches presented are demonstrated by use of simple examples, and applied to test networks and case studies.
