This paper presents reliability evaluation techniques which are applied in distribution system planning studies and operation. Reliability of distribution systems is an important issue in power engineering for both utilities and customers. Reliability is a key issue in the design and operation of electric power distribution systems and load. Reliability evaluation of distribution systems has be...

Boolean expression evaluation algorithm is widely used to deal with process control in application systems. But, in the current Boolean expression evaluation algorithm, the name, priority and operation rule of operator are hard-coded in algorithm, which makes some serious problems that the algorithm can not expand its operator and the expansibility is poor. An improved Boolean expression evalua...

By evaluation of the blasting results, a proper blast pattern can be presented. It is, therefore, essential to employ a reliable method to evaluate blastings for the effective control and optimization of the main cycle operations. This paper aims to propose a criterion for evaluating the blasting results such as the fragmentation, muckpile condition, back-break, and fly rock, and to make a poss...
