Measure cascading failure risks across utility infrastructure networks

You can use NetResilience to measure cascading failure risks across water and electric utility infrastructure networks. The software evaluates your physical asset dependencies, fault history, and system configurations to calculate baseline resilience scores on a ten-point scale. You can pinpoint which specific assets trigger wide-scale outages and determine the maximum probable financial loss per disruptive event. Utilities use these metrics to simulate hardening projects, prioritize capital investments, calculate recovery timelines, and justify funding requests during regulatory rate cases or bond rating presentations.

What Criticality Sciences, Inc. does

Import network models and fault data to map infrastructure dependenciesGenerate all-hazards baseline resilience scores for utility infrastructureIdentify single points of failure capable of causing cascading blackoutsCalculate maximum probable monetary loss per failure eventSimulate system design modifications to evaluate risk reductionExport quantified risk metrics for boardroom and regulatory filingsCalculates resilience scores on a zero to ten scale across all hazardsEstimates maximum probable financial loss from cascading network failuresDetermines mean and maximum probable recovery duration and repair costsRanks system assets and dependencies by their failure risk contributionModels hardening interventions before committing capital investmentsProtects data using hardware-isolated trusted execution environments
