Multidisciplinary Teams on the Battlefield: An Innovative Approach to Overcrowded Field Hospitals and Trauma Centers

A Customer Oriented Approach for Distribution System Reliability Improvement using Optimal Distributed Generation and Switch Placement

The reliability of distribution networks is inherently low due to their radial nature, consequently distribution companies (DisCos) usually seek to improve the system reliability indices with the minimum possible investment cost. This can be known as system-oriented reliability planning (SORP). However, there can exist some customers that are not satisfied by their reliability determined by ado...

Estimate of Components Reliability and Maintenance Strategies Impact on Trains Delay

In this paper the authors present a procedure for estimating the impact of design choices, dealing with subsystems architecture, basic components reliability performances or maintenance policies, on the service quality provided by a railway or metro system. The procedure is based on the use of an innovative modular simulator, developed by the authors. Through a Monte Carlo approach and a suitab...
