Compared with single energy system, the hybrid power sources enhance the complexity of the system, thus a proper energy management strategy is necessary for keeping the system safe and reliable. Based on the analysis of the fuel cell and ultra-capacitor hybrid system, the wavelet-transform and rule based energy management strategy is proposed and verified by establishing the hybrid system model and simulation in Matlab/Simulink. The result shows that the proposed strategy can lever the characteristics of the different power sources and keep the state of charge of the ultra-capacitor in normal level.","PeriodicalId":161789,"journal":{"name":"2017 2nd International Conference on System Reliability and Safety (ICSRS)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134233356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the area of reliability, it was shown that gamma processes are able to describe the physical degradation of components and, so, their importance in safety evaluation has been proved by many previous researches. First, a mathematical overview of the gamma process is given along with basic examples. Furthermore, a model of the gamma process on the basis of Petri nets is developed followed by an estimation of the remaining useful life (RUL) and the reliability of a single component. In this work, we propose to consider two cases for the estimation of the RUL: with and without knowledge of the level of degradation. Due to the knowledge of the degradation level, the evaluation of the reliability can be different and results are compared between them. Finally, a discussion about the application of both gamma process and Petri nets for describing the system behavior and its reliability assessment is presented explaining the value of the model in the current and the future industrial problems.","PeriodicalId":161789,"journal":{"name":"2017 2nd International Conference on System Reliability and Safety (ICSRS)","volume":"17 12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134238739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Maturity of the risk analysis are always different for different risk contributors, resulting in different degrees of confidence on the associated results. The difference in maturity, and the sources of heterogeneity that cause such differences, should be taken into account for supporting a reliable and accurate representation of risk in respect of DM. In this paper, we first propose a hierarchical framework to evaluate the level of maturity of risk assessments in respect of DM. The framework consists of different attributes (uncertainty, conservatism, knowledge and sensitivity) and sub-attributes (availability of data, consistency of data, data reliability, experience, and value ladenness) that are believed to determine the level of maturity of a risk assessment. Evaluation guidelines are pre-defined for facilitating the attributes scoring process. Then, the maturity level is integrated in MHRA by developing a two-dimensional risk aggregation method. Finally, a numerical case study for the MHRA of a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) is carried out to show the applicability and the plausibility of the methods.","PeriodicalId":161789,"journal":{"name":"2017 2nd International Conference on System Reliability and Safety (ICSRS)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121653369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this issue, a robust prognostic framework is presented in this paper to assess the reliability of deteriorating equipment due to fatigue crack growth. In this framework, a new model ensemble methodology that integrates multiple stochastic crack growth models based on the quadratic best-worst weighted voting (QBWWV) is proposed for predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) of equipment. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework, a case study concerning fatigue crack growth is demonstrated. The results indicate that the proposed prognostic framework outperforms single crack growth models in terms of prediction accuracy under evolving operating conditions.","PeriodicalId":161789,"journal":{"name":"2017 2nd International Conference on System Reliability and Safety (ICSRS)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127025686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a hybrid Monte Carlo (MC) and possibilistic approach is proposed for uncertainty propagation and effective quantification of a protection system non-suppression probability. In particular, aleatory uncertainty is represented by probabilistic distributions and treated by MC sampling, whereas, epistemic uncertainty of human behavior by means of possibility distributions. The approach is applied to a switchgear room of a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). Uncertain responsiveness of the fire protection system is integrated into a detection-suppression event tree, allowing for a clearer modeling interpretation and a more accurate failure probability estimate.","PeriodicalId":161789,"journal":{"name":"2017 2nd International Conference on System Reliability and Safety (ICSRS)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122526436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the computation of the fragility curves requires a large number of time-consuming mechanical simulations with the finite element method (FEM). To reduce the computational cost, in this paper a statistical metamodel based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) is constructed to replace the FEM model. An adaptive ANNs learning strategy, aimed at prioritizing the data close to the limit state of the structures, is proposed in order to improve the design of experiments for the fragility analysis. The adaptive learning strategy is developed and tested on a nonlinear Takeda oscillator.","PeriodicalId":161789,"journal":{"name":"2017 2nd International Conference on System Reliability and Safety (ICSRS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128769636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the inner level, the defender responds to the attack to minimize the consequence of the attack by optimal operation of the system.
