Abstract
Considering the special importance of power systems in each country as well as warden’s theory, it is necessary to investigate these systems with aim of presenting ways to improve its performance with passive defense approach. The present study has been prepared to investigate and propose strategies for supply and localization capability in power systems with passive defense approach. After environmental analysis and identification of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, the proposed strategies were developed using the SWOT matrix. To prioritize these strategies, the opinion of relevant elites in the electricity industry have been gathered by distributing questionnaires. Also, for a more detailed investigation of prioritization, each strategy was re-rated based on indicators and criteria of prioritization, such as: primacy and latency of strategies in terms of time, time to achieve the first output, cost imposed on the organization, variety of use in other combat areas, the possibility of benefiting from national capacities, the degree of dependence of the strategy on non-indigenous knowledge and technology, and the level of sustainability of the strategy. Finally, the prioritization of strategies in four categories from high to low importance has been identified and the measures of these strategies include four categories of supportive measures, law-related measures, reinforcement measures and creative measures.
