Reliability engineering

3. Generation Reliability analysis Generation system reliability deals with the relative ability of the system to supply system load considering that generation units may be out of service when needed due to planned or unplanned outages or that the basic energy sources may be inadequate. Generation system reliability, also known as generation system adequacy, is to be contrasted with security which deals with the relative ability of the system to survive sudden shocks or upset such as faults or

It is a technique to resolve potential problems in a system before they occur. It is most widely used reliability analysis technique performed between the conceptual and initial stage of the detailed design phase of the system in order to assure that all the potential failures have been considered and the proper provisions have been made to eliminate these failures. [1] (Ref. system reliability theory,2nd edition, Marvin Rausand) this technique can assist in selecting alternative concept for the

Executive Summary Above everything else, what consumers want from companies is the quality of the products that they are buying. Most consumers do not mind spending an extra buck for the sake of having the best product available. In addition, to this, consumers will go way out of their comfort zone to get a durable product. However, the truth of the matter is that most companies that lasted in the market do not have this in mind. Their provision of quality products is limited to what the statistical

We are developing a product that would revolutionize the way we use telecommunications. Picture a cell phone that uses 3d graphics to communicate with someone by simply clicking on the video- camera-function that is found on all smartphones. This cell phone will transform simple phone usage to virtual encounters that will enhance our current and future customer’s lives. The plan is to have this android smartphone be available to the consumer market as of 2015. In order for this to happen we, first

In the poem “Pass/Fail,” by Linda Pastan, the author speaks of an uncanny feeling of failure always looming. The persons desire to persevere is not enough to actually succeed; for there will always be a task waiting to be failed. The poem has a theme; it is a representation of a life goal that can not be achieved by simply dreaming. It takes initiative and courage to stand up and aim for that goal in life. Although the poem follows a negative prospective of achieving greatness, the writer does specify

Food safety is a highly overlooked yet crucial aspect of the food industry, as evident in the deadly 1993 Escherichia Coli outbreak in multiple Jack in the Box locations. Escherichia Coli is prevalent in raw and undercooked ground beef, which is a common food item on the Jack in the Box menu; the bacterial contamination during the slaughtering process of the meat lead to this gut wrenching epidemic (Wiley 2013). The horrific E. coli outbreak could have been prevented if it were not for Jack in the

Abstract This paper discusses John Kotter’s Eight-Stage Change Model and how it can be used as a guide when implementing change within an organization. The roles of various stakeholders including senior and emerging leaders, managers and employees throughout the eight stages are defined. In addition, factors which can contribute to a failed organization change initiative are discussed. Transforming an organization from a sub-optimizing enterprise of independently functioning departments to

HPC (high performance computing) frameworks are based on both software and hardware platforms. The mechanism called fault tolerance is nothing but process which allows system (frequently software based) to continue working properly in case of failure of its components (one or more faults) on MPI (message passing interface). In HPC systems like grid computing, cloud computing etc. fault tolerance method highly applicable in order to ensure that long operating applications are finished their tasks

We cannot just ignore the fact that not all students enroll in college courses and come out successfully after the specified years of study. Several incidences occur in between the year of admission and the graduation time, and therefore these events are known to contribute either positively or negatively to the final result by the student. According to recent research on college failure, it was concluded that this trait has grown so rampant in colleges. Following the above highlights, we need to
