Solar panels have been improving in efficiency and dropping in price, and are therefore becoming more common and economically viable. However, the performance of solar panels depends not only on the weather, but also on other external factors such as shadow, dirt, dust, etc. In this paper, we describe a simple and practical data-driven method for classifying anomalies in the power output of sol...

A new approach for vague risk analysis based on the ranking of trapezoidal vague sets is proposed. Firstly, a new method for ranking of vague sets is presented. Then, the proposed method is applied to developed a new method for dealing with vague risk analysis problems. This analysis helps us to find out the probability of failure of each components of combustion system, which could be used for...

Society for Risk Analysis (Europe) Conference From the everyday to the extraordinary: challenges for risk analysis and management

This paper proposes a Cross Impact Analysis for supporting critical infrastructures risk analysis. This methodology contributes to decision-makers and planners with analytical tools for modeling complex situations. These features are generally useful in emergency management and particularly within the critical infrastructures scope, where complex scenarios for risk analysis and emergency plans ...
