This paper extends the generalized parity vector approach for fault detection and isolation presented in Omana and Taylor [2], [3], [4], to achieve sensor accommodation. In this study, this fault detection, isolation and accommodation technique is applied to a two-phase separator followed by a three-phase gravity separator model used in oil production facilities. This model simulates a large sc...

In this paper, the effects of the accuracy of HV network parameters on calculated make and break fault levels are investigated. Fault level calculations, using computer models, are an approximation to the behaviour of the actual distribution network and, due to assumed parameter values, include a level of inaccuracy. The results of the fault level sensitivity analysis studies show that the netw...

in the urumieh-dokhtar volcanic zone, there are nearly parallel faults to the zagros zone.they were formed during collision of the arabic plate with central iran plate. the northwest-southeast trending of qom-zefreh fault system has long been recognized as major faults in central iran. the general aim of this research is to identify the activity period of this fault and the extent of its effect...

Abstract: In the last few decades, the Smart Grid paradigm presence has increased within power systems. These new kinds of networks demand new Operations and Planning approaches, following improvements in the quality of service. In this sense, the role of the Distribution Management System, through its Outage Management System, is essential to guarantee the network reliability. This system is r...

As fault tolerance is the ability of a system to perform its function correctly even in the presence of faults. Therefore, different fault tolerance techniques are critical for improving the efficient utilization of expensive resources in high performance data grid systems. One of the most popular strategies of fault tolerance is the replication, it creates multiple copies of resources in the s...

Following our experience in the development of ExOS, the RTAI/Linux-based real-time operating system for the planetary rover ExoMaDeR, we realized that the management of onboard software configuration requires more powerful capabilities than those currently available, especially to react autonomously and in real-time to unexpected events, e.g. faults. Autonomous dynamic software reconfiguration...

this paper presents the application of radial basis neural networks to the development of a novel method for the condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of synchronous generators. in the proposed scheme, flux linkage analysis is used to reach a decision. probabilistic neural network (pnn) and discrete wavelet transform (dwt) are used in design of fault diagnosis system. pnn as main part of thi...

Queueing system model has been used to study the performance of Global Memory Management Systems. We extended the AMVA solution presented in 1] to model a multi-class system where applications can have diierent access patterns, i.e., diierent page fault rates. We believe this model is more accurate since it can capture sudden changes in application behavior when predicting the response time of ...
