Self-Protective Safety Devices: An Economic Analysis

An Economic Analysis of Intraclass Marriage

An Economic Analysis of the Self Commitment of Thermal Units

Given the load profile of an electricity market and the capabilities of the set of generators supplying power to that market, it is likely that at any given point in time, available supply will exceed demand. If only a subset of generators is required, some method is required to commit and de-commit generators. In the past, system operators have employed a centralized method of unit commitment....

Evaluation of tunnel safety: towards an economic safety optimum

The aim of this paper is to propose a method for the evaluation of tunnel safety using probabilistic risk assessment. The framework includes three criteria; personal-, societal-and economic risk. The use of personal and societal risk is becoming more and more widespread. There are however, still some difficulties in using the economic risk criterion. Thus, as a first step towards economic risk ...

Safety Verification of Real Time Systems Serving Periodic Devices

In real-time systems response to a request from a controlled object must be correct and timely. Any late response to a request from such a device might lead to a catastrophy. The possibility of a task overrun, i.e., missing the deadline for completing a requested task, must be checked and removed during the design of such systems. Safe design of real-time systems running periodic tasks under th...
