چکیده

Policy-makers and planners have to make decisions in the face of varying degrees of uncertainty and risk. SimCoastTM is an intelligent computing system designed to addresses these problems explicitly. Here we look at how fuzzy logic and expert systems two of the fundamental approaches within SimCoastTM can be used to improve decision-making in relation to conditions of high levels of uncertainty, subjectivity in data and inexact reasoning.

A novel risk-based analysis for the production system under epistemic uncertainty

Risk analysis of production system, while the actual and appropriate data is not available, will cause wrong system parameters prediction and wrong decision making. In uncertainty condition, there are no appropriate measures for decision making. In epistemic uncertainty, we are confronted by the lack of data. Therefore, in calculating the system risk, we encounter vagueness that we have to use ...

Using a New Method to Incorporate the Load Uncertainty into the SEP Problem

In this paper, a new method is conducted for incorporating the forecasted load uncertainty into the Substation Expansion Planning (SEP) problem. This method is based on the fuzzy clustering, where the location and value of each forecasted load center is modeled by employing the probability density function according to the percentage of uncertainty. After discretization of these functions, the ...

Promoting safety by increasing uncertainty – Implications for risk management

Recent developments in risk assessment acknowledge the need to capture both quantitative and qualitative uncertainties in order to better understand and manage risks. This paper goes a step further yet by arguing that existing uncertainties do not only have to be acknowledged in order to improve risk management and safety, but that in certain circumstances deliberate increases in uncertainty ar...
