| Abstract | This paper presents a methodology for assessing the vulnerability of power and energy systems and components to weapons effects, accidental explosions, and attacks by terrorists, saboteurs, and vandals. The functioning of these systems depends on such devices and equipment as fuel tanks, pumps, transformers, control panels, insulators, wiring and piping, and generators. Damage mechanisms for components such as these and the means to determine their occurrence for specific components and threats are described herein. The damage mechanisms considered include those associated with airblast, shock, cratering, ballistic impact, penetration, and fire threats, although the methodology could be extended to include a broader spectrum of threats including cyber, electromagnetic, hostile vehicle etc. To facilitate assessment of the sorts of infrastructure elements that are used by power generation and energy transmission utilities, a damage function for individual components is introduced. For example, the damage function can provide a means to estimate the level of damage incurred by various equipment as a function of their distance from the point of detonation, and the size and type of the explosive used. This function may be incorporated as part of an assessment code, or it may also be used as a standalone means to estimate damage for a specific utility component, such as described in [2]. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
