Integrated Impact Model on Interconnected Critical Infrastructure Network Cascading Related to Its Operation Process

In this paper we consider dependent Critical Infrastructures (CI) at variable operation conditions and present multistate approach to their safety analysis. The safety of dependent Critical Infrastructures at variable operation conditions is described. The local, equal and mixed load sharing models of dependency subjected to the operation process are introduced. The conditional safety functions at the particular operation states and the unconditional safety functions of a multistate series network with dependent assets, with dependent subnetworks and with dependent assets of its subnetworks according to LLS, ELS and MLS rules are determined. Furthermore, the all models of dependency are applied to safety analysis of a multistate parallel and “m out of n” network with dependent assets, parallel-series and “m out of l”-series network with dependent assets of their subnetworks at variable operation conditions.
