Analysis and Information System in the Indicative Assessment of the Level of Energy Security of the Northem and Arctic Regions

Negative northern factors with a complex impact of the natural environment on the conditions of life and production are so significant that they put forward a monitoring of the energy security of the regions belonging to the Northern Territories and the Arctic zones to an important position. Specificity of the composition of threats has an aggravating effect in conditions of infrastructure isolation and climate severity for the functioning of the energy economy and the livelihoods of settlements. At present, there is no single approach, both to defining indicators of such territories, and to the toolkit for their tracking and identification of decentralized conditions. The research has developed an information and analytical system that allows in the integrated environment to calculate current indicators indicators. The author's methodology for assessing weak and vulnerable places defines priority areas with stringent requirements for providing comfortable living conditions for electricity consumers. This increases the speed of problem analysis in isolated areas of the North with low reliability indicators. The developed analytical unit, as a component of an integrated information system for monitoring the level of energy security, provides an opportunity to update the initial data of indicators and calculate their effective values for the formation of a strategic platform for targeted strengthening of energy security positions. The model and toolkit for diagnosing decentralized territories are examined on the example of the zone of absolute discomfort - the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), as the leader of large-scale exploitation of small-scale power engineering objects.
