Renewable Energy in the Context of Sustainable Development (2011, background): “Compared to fossil fuels, RE resources are far more evenly distributed around the globe (WEC, 2007) and in general less traded on the world market; increasing their share in a country’s energy portfolio can thus diminish the dependence on actual energy imports (Grubb et al., 2006).”
Resilience and electricity systems: A comparative analysis (2012, background): “…to focus on diversity of supply (Stirling, 1994, Stirling, 2010), with forays into the implications of carbon emission constraints on diversity (Grubb et al., 2006), and security of supply in liberalized markets (Rodilla and Batlle, 2012, Joskow, 2006) rather than a broader view of the process…”
Mitigation from a cross-sectoral perspective (2007, unknown): “New technologies that diversify the generating mix and low-carbon options tend to be quantifiably more diverse than business-asusual reliance on fossil fuels (see Stirling, 1994; 1996; Grubb et al., 2006).”
Diversification of oil import sources and energy security: A key strategy or an elusive objective? (2009, background): “Similarly, Kalicki (2007) argues that while diversification is a crucial initiative for energy security, it is just as important as interdependence.”
Evaluating energy security in the Asia Pacific: towards a more comprehensive approach (2011, background): “For more on these themes, see Stirling (2010), Vivoda (2009), and Grubb et al. (2006). Decentralization involves ‘‘reliance on small-scale sources of energy supply near the point of consumption’’.”
Security aspects of future renewable energy systems–A short overview (2013, unknown): “[21,22]).”
Three blind men and an elephant: The case of energy indices to measure energy security and energy sustainability (2015, background): “Extending this concept to secondary sources of energy, security and sustainability of electricity conversion has also been studied [35–37].”
Long-term energy services security: What is it and how can it be measured and valued? (2010, background): “See among others: Bazilian and Roques (2008), Awerbuch and Berger (2003), Grubb et al. (2006), and Jansen and Beurskens (2008). countries with large inland coal reserves, such as the US, China and India.”
Conceptualizing Energy Security (2012, background): “…products on the market, at a price which is affordable for all consumers (private and industrial), while respecting environmental concerns and looking towards sustainable development“ Grubb et al. (2006) Diversity and security in UK electricity generation: The influence of lowcarbon objectives.”
Indicators for energy security (2009, methodology): “However, in case supply concentration (essentially a lack of diversity in suppliers) is calculated, the HHI is almost exclusively used (Percebois and Jaques, 2006; Grubb et al., 2005; IEA, 2004a, 2007a, Neff, 1997).”
