1) Review of risk and uncertainty management
approaches used in the energy sector; and
2) Integration of risk and uncertainty in decision
support tools.
A risk management framework, developed by VTT of
Finland, according to the emphasis of the industrial
partners, has since been tested and applied in various
energy sectors (e g hydro CHP bio wind etc )
