Conventionally, reliability prediction of electronic components is carried out using standard handbooks such as MIL STD 217plus, Telecordia, etc. But these methods fail to provide a realistic estimate of reliability for upcoming technologies. Currently, electronic reliability prediction is moving towards applying the Physics of Failure approach which considers information on process, technology, fabrication...
The traditional reliability analyses, considers components to be in binary state, either functional or faulty, and does not consider the concept of multi state or intermediate states between these two binary states. However, there are several components, which need to be operated in different states and their failure criterion also depend on these states. Hence, when dealing with these types of components...
Economic trading brought on by the introduction of markets in the realm of power systems has witnessed a drastic shift in the way customer-say is incorporated into reliability apportioning. As customers are the sole determinants of profit making ventures in the liberalized regime, it is imperative that they be provided with ample decision support through reliability management options for the selective...
In a competitive business landscape, large organizations such as insurance companies and banks are under high pressure to innovate, improvise and distinguish their products and services while continuing to reduce the time-to market for new product introductions. Generating a single view of the customer is vital from different perspectives of the systems developer over a period of time because of the...
Wireless sensor network (WSN) consist of a large number of sensor nodes which are limited in battery power and communication range and are having multi-modal sensing capability. One of the most significant applications of wireless sensor network is environment monitoring. In this paper, a multi-sensor data fusion algorithm in WSN using fuzzy logic for event detection application is proposed. In the...
Utilities in most of the developing countries do not possess relevant information to evaluate the electricity supply outage cost incurred by the customers. This paper shows the significance of customer survey techniques to evaluate customer outage cost in developing countries in the era of restructuring and globalization. Residential customer surveys that are extensively used by utilities in the developed...
Electric power industry deregulation has brought about the unbundling of generation, transmission and distribution services and as such, new techniques for reliability assessment are being developed to account for the consequent structural changes in the restructured environment through direct analytical techniques or stochastic simulation. To this end, reliability equivalent techniques have been...
