The presentation of certain elements by critical infrastructure in the electricity sector in relation to the Danube flood of September 2024

Abstract

The Danube flood in September 2024 also offers the possibility of scientific research. These events can serve as an example in the prevention and management of other similar events affecting critical infrastructure. During the defense, voltage was relieved in the vicinity of the city of Baja, affecting the residential area and facilities belonging to the critical water infrastructure. Based on this pattern, a thesis was established, the proof of which is illustrated through examples. The controlled flood inundation and the defense appear at the same time and geographical location. In this context, we compare the events in the field of protection and operation of critical infrastructure elements from the perspective of the electricity sector and industrial safety. Taking into account the legal background of this, the defense committee measures are presented, the electrical networks used for defense are presented, to which the description of the restoration tasks is also closely related.
