Field surveys of typhoon damage in Dalian had revealed that light steel building has the high risk of typhoon disasters. The goal of this study is to describe the framework of risk management of typhoon disaster to light steel building, including risk identification, risk analysis, and risk assessment and risk control. This paper reviewed the previous study of risk management, and identified three components of a typhoon hazard to light steel buildings. Then summarized and analyzed several vulnerability models as a reference for developing typhoon disaster vulnerability curves. Finally, the author puts forward some proposals for risk control. The research will be valuable to disaster mitigation effectively and will be useful to property owners, construction units, decision maker and insurance companies to manage typhoon disasters.","PeriodicalId":430801,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Risk Management & Engineering Management","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134224426","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}

The multi-agent evolutionary algorithm (MAEA) is specially useful in load optimal dispatching, the model of which is set up based on characteristic curve of the generator coal consumption approached by quadratic function. In particular, the following restraints are considered: power balance, spinning reserve, upper and lower limit, unitpsilas suspending times, minimum continuous suspending time and the minimum continuous running time, and power response speed. The proposed MAEA used in the load optimal dispatching among power plant units for the first time is proved to be feasible and efficient in the simulation result of the example.","PeriodicalId":430801,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Risk Management & Engineering Management","volume":"359 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134501006","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}

This paper aims at analyzing the behaviors, characters of transmission investment and its scale economy, meanwhile, it will focus on studying the uncertainty of the transmission investment in the electricity market. Options views is adopted for the dilatation of transmission lines to dominate the opportunity costs of the dilatation investment and accordingly , the optimal decision discriminant model is built in the light of the stochastic theory , providing a new assistant decision method for the transmission dilatation investment. Analysis of examples show that the previous model could discriminate reasonably the scale capacity of different transmission lines and their scale economy after dilatation, providing reliable basis for decision-makers.","PeriodicalId":430801,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Risk Management & Engineering Management","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122842672","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}

The proposed method attempts to devise a generic method for designing importance sampling method. Firstly, evaluation function and objective function are expressed in a way that there is a linear relation between response estimator and majorized function. Order structure is imposed not only on sample paths but also on parameters of candidate density. Then the parameters are estimated by surrogate maximization algorithm. Secondly, cut-off point at which response function can maintain the same sample paths structure is obtained. Based on the low quadratic bound principle and the convexity of the second moment of the estimator, a quadratic surrogate function for objective function is derived. Finally, empirical results show that our approach is straightforward to implement and flexible to be applied in a generic Monte Carlo setting.","PeriodicalId":430801,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Risk Management & Engineering Management","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127225662","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}
