“…As Jun et al tried to provide an index to measure the cost of energy security, they had to limit themselves to a very narrow definition of energy security and they confessed that many other costs are not taken into their consideration. Other indexes measuring the cost are the fixed capital stock renewal factor or GDP per each percent of energy price change, the price's volatility, market costs of energy in €/MWh, economic costs of carbon price, or value of the energy not provided, such as value of lost load (VoLL) …”

“…On contrast, in a decentralized electricity generating system, an earthquake in one region will not affect the whole system as much as centralized facility affected by an earthquake . For this, Franki and Višković argue that decentralized systems that use renewable energy enhance energy security, because it combines the advantages of a centralized system (higher energy efficiency, better environmental performance, and better social effects) with the security advantages of the decentralized system. Therefore, developing decentralized renewable energy systems is the future to enhance energy security.…”

“…Energy security, as a universal concern, has received great attention and has been the subject of many studies within different fields of science, policymaking, national energy policies, politics, international relations, and as a national security issue . The importance of the topic stands behind its ability to shape policies and countries behavior .…”

“…A clear definition of energy security is critical, since energy security is a concept rather than a policy or a strategy. Enhancement of energy security is a key goal of society and sustainable energy strategies because energy security is required to fulfill basic human needs . Personal and national energy security are paths to achieve freedom of choice, which allows progress to self‐actualization in Maslow's hierarchy of needs …”

This paper sheds light on an integral aspect of the global energy system: energy security. Energy security is a universal topic that shapes policies and regulations in order to achieve higher levels of energy security and thus provides societies with a better life. Understanding the concept and its implications requires a holistic definition, but current research literature lacks a commonly accepted, precisely defined definition. Therefore, the research gap is the absence of a comprehensive definition that takes into account all energy security dimensions, and the absence of well-studied relationships between energy security and its dimensions. Taking that in mind, the gap is addressed by a systematic review of energy security definitions and by building a structural dimensionalization of energy security. Thus, this review aims to track changing definitions of energy security in modern times and formulate a concise and comprehensive definition. Furthermore, using a structural approach, 15 dimensions, and related parameters of energy security are determined and categorized to illustrate the range of issues covered by the term and to enable precise evaluation of the energy security of energy systems. The results of this review show clearly how energy security could be defined generically to account all dimensions, and show the relationships between these 15 dimensions and energy security. Understanding all dimensions of energy security provides insights for policymakers to formulate policies that account for all of these dimensions.

“…The European Union is striving to be the leader in implementing renewable energy solutions as main sources of electricity in an effort to overcome the greenhouse gas (GHG) problem achieving a low carbon electricity sector in line with global concerns regarding the environmental issues caused by the greenhouse effect (Franki and Viskovic 2015; Boluk and Mert 2014; Stern 2008). This situation stems from the 2030 goals adopted by the Council of Europe in terms of: 40 % reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 levels, 27 % of energy consumption to come from renewable sources, 27 % improvement in energy efficiency (EC 2013; FEA 2016; Carvalho 2012; Burman et al 2014).…”

The sustainable development and energy security are currently the priority challenges for the European Union countries. The sustainable and stable development of European economies is closely dependent on the stable access to energy resources. The constant increase of the demand for electricity requires long-term planning of the common European policy. The aim of the article is to analyse the fuel and energy resources situation of the member states with regard to their energy balances and with the determination of their import dependence in relation to fossil fuels, such as: coal, oil and natural gas. Based on the collected statistical data the analysis of clusters was presented in order to separate homogenous subsets, that is groups of the European Union Member States. The squared Euclidean distance has been adopted as the measure of similarities of the member states in the clusters, and the k-means algorithm has been used as the method of grouping. As a result of the analysis seven clusters were selected-groups of homogenous countries in terms of the import dependence due to the major energy resources (oil, natural gas and coal). The results of the paper can constitute bases for shaping the appropriate long-term common energy policy for the listed potential groups of countries. Statistical data were collected based on the Eurostat publication.
