Coastal engineering planning (CEP) must deal with routine and non-routine hazardous conditions, particularly from cumulative hazards or from events with low probability but large consequences. We develop and exemplify a risk-based assessment to support coastal engineering planning, which is consistent with the precautionary principle, and provides scientific support for decision-making processes....
This paper presents a probabilistic methodology to assess risks of major accidents on large electric power plants. Major accidents are those resulting on complete loss or impediment of any high voltage unit, with consequent operational and/or economic hazards, or human injuries to operating personnel or customers. A top-down, systematic approach is proposed, so that It can be applied to any high voltage...
Based on the theory and methods of power system, this paper combines five kinds of state characteristics of the power system operation and researches hierarchical network model which is suitable to the probabilistic risk assessment .More, with the lack of risk indicators of traditional power system in the operation of risk assessment, giving six reliable indicators including line overload, transformer...
This paper introduces a unique modeling framework for developing PRA of large and complex-engineered systems, such as used in the current Space Shuttle PRA at NASA. With an overview of the specific methodology and techniques employed in the Space Shuttle PRA modeling process, the paper further describes a structured multi-phase and multi-level modeling approach (SMM), which is utilized to treat the...
