Robustness analysis is concerned with the capability of a Complex Network, or System, to handle damaging events. It can consider errors or malicious attacks and is performed by simulating parts removals and quantifying such removals impact. Traditionally, errors are sampled with an assumption of equal failure probabilities for all susceptible system' parts. However, today engineered systems are becoming...
Weather conditions have an important influence on failure rates of Power Distribution Systems. An event with strong winds gust and a large number atmospheric discharge can increase the outages' quantity in a hard to predictable form and, consequently, impact in the System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI). A modelling of such weather impact in failure rate is useful for a better understand...
Power Distribution Systems are responsible for distributing electricity to the final customers, e.g., homes, hospitals, and factories. Such structures are classified as critical infrastructures, once its failure directly affects the functioning of essential systems for our society. The adoption of the Smart Grid philosophy are leading to changes in such systems, and one is the capability of monitoring...
