As the total mileage of natural gas pipeline network continues to increase, the topological structure of natural gas pipeline network will become more and more complex. The complicated topological structure of natural gas pipeline network is likely to cause inherent structural defects, which have serious impacts on the safe operation of natural gas pipeline network. At present, related researches mainly focused on the safe and reliable operation of natural gas pipeline network, which has become a research hotspot, but few of them considered the complexity of natural gas pipeline network and its potential impacts. In order to understand the complexity of natural gas pipeline network and its behaviors when facing structural changes, this paper studied the robustness of natural gas pipeline network based on complex network theory. This paper drew on the methods and experience of robustness researches in other related fields, and proposed a robustness evaluation method for natural gas pipeline network which is combined with its operation characteristics. The robustness evaluation method of natural gas pipeline network is helpful to identify the key components of the pipeline network and understand the response of the pipeline network to structural changes. Furthermore, it can provide a theoretical reference for the safe and stable operation of natural gas pipeline network. The evaluation results show that natural gas pipeline network shows strong robustness when faced with random disturbances represented by pipeline accidents or component failures caused by natural disasters, and when faced with targeted disturbances represented by terrorist disturbances, the robustness of natural gas pipeline network is very weak. Natural gas pipeline network behaves differently in the face of different types of random disturbances. Natural gas pipeline network is more robust when faced with component failures than pipeline accidents caused by natural disasters.

Background To reduce the effects of climate change, the current fossil-based energy system must transition to a low-carbon system based largely on renewables. In both academic literature and non-academic discourse concerning the energy transition, resilience is frequently mentioned as an additional objective or requirement. Despite its frequent use, resilience is a very malleable term with different meanings in different contexts. Main text This paper seeks to identify how resilience is understood in the field of the energy system and whether there are similar aspects in the different ways the term is understood. To this end, we review more than 130 papers for definitions of energy system resilience. In addition, we use different aspects to categorize and examine these. The results paint a diverse picture in terms of the definition and understanding of resilience in the energy system. However, a few definition archetypes can be identified. The first uses a straightforward approach, in which the energy system has one clearly defined equilibrium state. Here, resilience is defined in relation to the response of the energy system to a disturbance and its ability to quickly return to its equilibrium. The second type of resilience allows for different equilibriums, to which a resilient energy system can move after a disruption. Another type of resilience focuses more on the process and the actions of the system in response to disruption. Here, resilience is defined as the ability of the system to adapt and change. In the papers reviewed, we find that the operational definition of resilience often encompasses aspects of different archetypes. This diversity shows that resilience is a versatile concept with different elements. Conclusions With this paper, we aim to provide insight into how the understanding of resilience for the energy system differs depending on which aspect of the energy system is studied, and which elements might be necessary for different understandings of resilience. We conclude by providing information and recommendations on the potential usage of the term energy system resilience based on our lessons learned.
