Results of the CSNI Task Group on the Robustness of Electrical Systems (ROBELSYS)

In this paper we present the results of the CSNI task group on the Robustness of Electrical systems in the light of the Fukushima Daiichi accident (ROBELSYS). Based on the conclusion of a workshop organized in April 2014 and on further work, this task group has identified the three following main areas for international cooperation: Enhancement of the robustness of electrical systems, development and improvement in the analysis and simulation of the behavior of NPP’s electrical systems and safety challenges related to the use of power and software based electronics in electrical power systems. The paper concludes on the recently approved CSNI framework that will address these issues.
