Inverse reliability measures and reliability-based design optimisation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several inverse reliability measures (e.g. Probabilistic Performance Measure (PPM) and Probabilistic Sufficiency Factor (PSF)) that are essentially equivalent have been introduced in recent years as measures of safety. The different names for essentially the same measure reflect the fact that different researchers focused on different advantages of inverse measures. These advantages include improved computational efficiency of Reliability-Based Design Optimisation (RBDO), accuracy in Response Surface Approximations (RSAs) and easy estimates of resources needed for achieving target safety levels. This paper surveys these inverse measures and describes their advantages compared with the direct measures of safety such as probability of

متن کاملSintered silver finite element modelling and reliability based design optimisation in power electronic module
This paper discusses the design for reliability of a sintered silver structure in a power electronic module based on the computational approach that composed of high fidelity analysis, reduced order modelling, numerical risk analysis, and optimisation. The methodology was demonstrated on sintered silver interconnect sandwiched between silicon carbide chip and copper substrate in a power electro...
متن کاملReliability Measures Measurement under Rule-Based Fuzzy Logic Technique
In reliability theory, the reliability measures contend the very important and depreciative role for any system analysis. Measurement of reliability measures is not easy due to ambiguity and vagueness which exist within reliability parameters. It is also very difficult to incorporate a large amount of uncertainty in well-established methodologies and techniques. However, fuzzy logic provides an...
متن کاملA critical evaluation of deterministic methods in size optimisation of reliable and cost effective standalone hybrid renewable energy systems
Reliability of a hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) strongly depends on various uncertainties affecting the amount of power produced by the system. In the design of systems subject to uncertainties, both deterministic and nondeterministic design approaches can be adopted. In a deterministic design approach, the designer considers the presence of uncertainties and incorporates them indirectly...
متن کاملDesign of Reliability Insurance Scheme Based on Utility Function for Improvement of Distribution Grid Reliability
The regulatory schemes currently used for reliability improvement have weaknesses in the provision of quality services based on the customers’ perspective. These schemes consider the average of the service as a criterion to incentivize or penalize the distribution system operators (DSOs). On the other hand, most DSOs do not differentiate electricity services at the customer level, due to the st...
