This research analyzed how nuclear power plants implemented safety review innovations introduced hy the Nuclear Regulatory Commission after the Three Mile Island accident. The findings suggested that nuclear power plants with relatively poor safety records tended to respond in a rule-hound manner that perpetuated their poor safety performance and that nuclear power plants whose safety records w...

At the current state of a airs it is hard to obtain a predictable performance from wireless sensor networks, not to mention performance guarantees. In particular, a widely accepted and established methodology for modeling the performance of wireless sensor networks is missing. In the last two years we have tried to make a step into the direction of an analytical framework for the performance mo...

The evaluation on nuclear power plant operational safety performance had great significance on whether the nuclear power plant operated safely or not. Currently the academic literatures on nuclear power plant operational safety performance are rare. Improved Fuzzy evaluation model which introduce confidence level had been used into the evaluation of nuclear power plant operational safety perfor...

Estimation of Productivity in Korean Electric Power Plants: A Semiparametric Smooth Coefficient Model This paper analyzes the impact of load factor, facility and generator types on the productivity of Korean electric power plants. In order to capture important differences in the effect of load policy on power output, we use a semiparametric smooth coefficient (SPSC) model that allows us to mode...

Through analyzing the complexity of energy saving and emission reduction system in thermal power enterprise, we can find that this system affected by various elements within the system, policies and technologies in the external environment. Therefore, in order to evaluate the performance of energy saving and emission reduction in thermal power plants, both the complex nonlinear relationships am...

Making potable water through desalination plants is a very important process in Iran where clean water is highly required. On the other hand, large amount of fossil fuel sources leads to the development of gas turbine power plants all over the country. Furthermore, Persian Gulf in the south and Caspian Sea in the north could be the main sources for supplying potable water in water scarcity area...

Industry 4.0 is expected to play a crucial role in improving energy management and personnel performance power plants. Poor problem maintaining plants the result of both human errors, factors poor implementation automation management. This can potentially be solved using artificial intelligence (AI) an integrated system (IMS). article investigates current challenges plants, identifies critical ...
