Abstract:
The article focuses on addressing the issue of increasing the resilience of the energy supply system in the face of terrorist threats. The research carried out made it possible to substantiate the feasibility of the widespread creation of local energy systems for territorial communities as a means of minimizing energy capacity losses due to terrorist and cyber attacks. The aim of the study is to develop technical and organizational principles for building local energy systems (LES) aimed at providing energy to a specific territorial community (TC) through the development of distributed generation and maximum possible use of renewable energy sources (RES). The methodological basis of the study includes decomposition, system, and comparative approaches. In the course of the study, methods of comparative analysis were used (comparing technical and organizational approaches to building energy systems); abstraction (isolating the properties of electric power that most affect the organization of the related market); and synthesis (to develop principles for building a distributed energy system aimed at meeting the needs of a territorial community). The study examined the decisive influence of the physical properties of electric power on the technical foundations for building Ukraine’s unified energy system, and based on this, developed recommendations for the architecture and principles of creating local energy systems focused on supplying energy to a specific community. The analysis of the legal and regulatory principles for organizing the nationwide market was used as the basis for developing proposals on the organization of local electric power markets. These studies made it possible to identify four groups of key factors that affect the process of building local energy systems for territorial communities: technical, organizational, economic, and legal. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the further development of a scientific-methodological approach to building LES for TC through a comprehensive consideration of these four groups of factors: technical, organizational, economic, and legal. The practical value of the results is in developing recommendations on the sequence of technical and organizational measures aimed at creating local energy systems, as well as improving the relevant regulatory and legal framework.

Keywords: electric power market; distributed energy; local energy systems.
