The Use of Probabilistic Networks to Evaluate Passive Fire Protection Measures in Hospitals
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes how probabilistic networks may be used to evaluate the effectiveness of different passive fire protection measures in contributing to fire safety in hospitals. In particular, study is made of the benefit of basic fire safety management, fire-resisting doorsets and the influence of self-closing devices. It is concluded that probabilistic networks offer a useful tool which can inform decisions regarding the cost benefit of fire protection measures.

متن کاملOptimal Sitting, Sizing, and Operation of Batteries and Passive Filters to Mitigate Over-voltage and Harmonic Problems in Distribution Networks with High Photovoltaic Penetration
Photovoltaic systems (PVs), despite their many advantages, may have effects such as power quality issues (voltage and harmonics increase), short-circuits level increase, protection issues, and transient stability for network. Some of these effects are due to the high PV penetration, which encounters the network with the over-voltage and harmonics problems. In this paper, the location, size and ...
