Infrastructure resilience assessment through control design
Infrastructure resilience is a priority for homeland security in many nations around the globe. This paper describes a new approach for quantitatively assessing the resilience of critical infrastructure systems. The mathematics of optimal control design provides the theoretical foundation for this methodology. This foundation enables the inclusion of recovery costs within the resilience assessm...
متن کاملSustainable Infrastructure Assets: Capability for Infrastructure Capacity Management
Building for a sustainable environment requires sustainable infrastructure assets. Infrastructure capacity management is the process of ensuring optimal provision of such infrastructure assets. Effectiveness in this process will enable the infrastructure asset owners and its stakeholders to receive full value on their investment. Business research has shown that an organisation can only achieve...
متن کاملAssessment of Resilience in Desalination Infrastructure Using Semi-Markov Models
As the supply of desalinated water becomes significant in many countries, the reliable long-term operation of desalination infrastructure becomes paramount. As it is not realistic to build desalination systems with components that never fail, instead the system should be designed with more resilience. To answer the question how resilient the system should be, we present in this paper a quantita...
متن کاملTime-dependent resilience assessment and improvement of urban infrastructure systems.
This paper introduces an approach to assess and improve the time-dependent resilience of urban infrastructure systems, where resilience is defined as the systems' ability to resist various possible hazards, absorb the initial damage from hazards, and recover to normal operation one or multiple times during a time period T. For different values of T and its position relative to current time, the...
متن کاملResilience of Electricity Infrastructure
2. Resilience is not achieved by picking off and solving individual problems but results from the inter-play of all the multiple inter-related components and factors that form the whole electricity system. The lessons that can be learnt from the last period when electricity resilience was an issue, the 3 day week in the 1970s, are of limited value in the current context because both the underly...
