Pre-Print Exploring requirements for sustainable energy supply planning with regard to climate resilience

The National Intelligence Council of the United States for example states that the “[electric power] sector is itself vulnerable to projected changes in climate” [6] and the “[…] Electric power in Asia and the Pacific is […] a vulnerable sector in a vulnerable region” [6]. [...] This explains the need to assess the potential impacts of climate change on such infrastructure, to identify the nature and effects of possible adaptation options and to assess the technical and economic viability of these options” [18]. [...] The second 9 Exploring requirements for sustainable energy supply planning with regard to climate resilience of Southeast Asian islands element is the exposure of a community towards these events and stresses and is only addressed by migrating to other places, which is often the last resort. [...] While talking about climate resilience it is first of all important to define the context 10 Exploring requirements for sustainable energy supply planning with regard to climate resilience of Southeast Asian islands (“Resilience of what?”) and the cause of potential disturbances (“Resilience to what?”) [28]. [...] We consider the data of version 1.4 which provides current data (interpolations of observed data, representative of 1960-1990) and future data (downscaled global climate model data from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 for the Firth IPPC Assessment for the year 2050) and calculate the difference (in this case the absolute change to keep the actual value of precipitation in- or dec.
