Concept development for quantification of integrated energy security

Energy security is one of the important factors for energy policy of the country. However, there are many concepts offered by the researchers on energy security, leading to such a diverse and complicated interpretation. Here we develop a novel concept which elaborates the global perspectives. It is realized through a deep evaluation on energy security evolution, followed by a philosophical study of the subject matter and sight of view of energy security, resulting in an integrated energy security theory. The concept is applied to quantify energy security of Indonesia. The operational concept is a set of measurement instruments consisting of 7 dimensions, 31 indicators and 97 sub-components using dynamic programming algorithm. The result of this study provides an approximated number reflecting the aggregate index of energy security.
