Implementing Contract-for-Difference Arrangements for Hedging Electricity Price Risks of Renewable Generators on a Blockchain Marketplace

Olakunle Alao et al.

Summary: The dynamic nature of competitive electricity markets often leads participants to resort to derivative financial instruments such as contract-for-difference (CFD) to hedge price risks. However, using CFDs introduces new risks. Blockchain-based derivative instruments show potential as suitable hedging tools for renewable generators. This article proposes a decentralized finance instrument, an Ethereum blockchain marketplace governed by a smart contract, to hedge the price risk of renewable generators through bilateral CFD arrangements, mitigating traditional risks with autonomous mechanisms.

Fuel cell system production cost modeling and analysis

Achim Kampker et al.

Summary: Fuel cell technology is a promising option for reducing global transportation carbon emissions, but the current costs are too high for widespread adoption. Researchers at RWTH Aachen University have developed a cost calculation model for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cell systems and are exploring ways to reduce manufacturing costs through economies of scale. The study aims to present the results of cost modeling and identify areas for technical innovations that can lead to cost reductions through economies of scale. The research provides recommendations for strategic investments and highlights the need for further studies to lower costs through economies of scale in PEM fuel cell systems.

Stochastic modeling and cost-benefit evaluation of consecutive k/n: F repairable retrial systems with two-phase repair and vacation

Yan Wang et al.

Summary: This paper investigates a reliability model of consecutive k/n: F linear retrial system with two-phase repair and Bernoulli vacation. The system allows failure to occur to all non-failed components even when the system has already failed. Failed components join a retrial space and attempt repeated repairs if the repairman is not idle. The developed system model, treated as a Markov process, is analyzed using matrix analysis, state set analysis, and differential equation solving techniques. Various reliability indexes are derived and numerical experiments are conducted to study the effects of system parameters on performance indexes. Additionally, the system models with and without retrial or vacation are compared numerically based on a cost-benefit ratio. A relevant potential application is also provided to illustrate the proposed model.

Wind farm life cycle cost modelling based on oversizing capacity under load sharing configuration

Fredy Kristjanpoller et al.

Summary: This article proposes a method to improve the service level, availability, and reliability of wind farms by oversizing the allocation of Wind Turbine Generators (WTG). Results show that this method can increase availability by 2.11%, reduce corrective maintenance costs by 18.48%, and decrease total differential costs by 1.44%. Furthermore, it suggests that load sharing perspective can reduce stress on WTGs, enabling higher service levels at reduced costs and better results for maintenance and asset management planning, thus improving efficiency and reliability.

Availability analysis and cost optimization of a repairable system with a mix of active and warm-standby components in a shock environment

Mohammad N. Juybari et al.

Summary: The mixed redundancy strategy, a powerful technique to improve system reliability, is analyzed in a 1-out-of-n:G repairable system with warm-standby components for the first time. The system's behavior is modeled using a Markov chain approach and performance measures are derived. An age-dependent maintenance strategy is applied and a cost optimization problem is formulated to determine the optimal system replacement time. Numerical examples are presented to validate the method.

Performance efficiency and cost analysis of multi-state systems with successive damage and maintenance in multiple shock events

Hongyan Dui et al.

Summary: In this paper, a new model is developed to study the interaction between damage and maintenance in multi-state systems exposed to multiple shocks. The model measures the system's performance efficiency and budget surplus rate, which reflect the ability to recover from shocks and respond to losses. Markov processes are used to analyze the state transition process, and a case study of a nuclear power plant is conducted to demonstrate the proposed methods. Sensitivity analysis is also performed to evaluate the shock resistance and maintenance capability of the system.

Summary: This paper addresses the problem of identifying the optimal performance parameters of safety barriers for mitigating consequences of NaTech accidental scenarios at reasonable cost. The Multi-Objective Optimization approach is applied to a case study of a chemical facility. The results suggest that improving the performance of four out of six barriers (three active and one passive) optimally manages the NaTech risk.

L-moments and Bayesian inference for probabilistic risk assessment with scarce samples that include extremes

Deepan Jayaraman et al.

Summary: In structural applications, uncertainties are inevitable and have a significant impact on risk assessment. Probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) is used to determine the level of risk associated with complex systems. Bayesian inference and L-moments are proposed in this paper as an effective framework to analyze probabilistic risk. The proposed approach demonstrates better performance than traditional methods in the presence of limited data and extremes.

Dynamic probabilistic risk assessment of nuclear power plants using multi-fidelity simulations

Xiaoyu Zheng et al.

Summary: Dynamic probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) is a method that explicitly deals with timing issues and stochastic elements of risk models. This study proposes a cost-effective dynamic PRA approach using multi-fidelity simulations, which improves the multi-fidelity importance sampling (MFIS) algorithm to generate efficient samples for nuclear reactor accident sequences. The approach combines high-fidelity and low-fidelity models for simulation and prediction, and estimates risk triplets by building density functions using biased distribution from interested predictions. The proposed approach has proven to be effective in risk assessment while significantly reducing computational cost.

A general model for life-cycle cost analysis of Condition-Based Maintenance enabled by PHM capabilities

Michele Compare et al.

Summary: This work proposes a general modelling approach to estimate the life cycle cost of a system equipped with PHM capabilities and undergoing a CBM policy. The approach is based on the Markov Chain framework and incorporates transition probabilities linked to PHM performance metrics and a novel metric. The model can guide economic decisions about CBM development regardless of the specific PHM algorithm, as long as its performance metrics can be estimated. The model is validated through a case study on a mechanical component affected by fatigue degradation, considering two different prognostic algorithms: Particle Filtering and a Model-Based approach.

Summary: Failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) is a technique used in various industries to identify, mitigate, and eliminate failure risks. However, the traditional FMEA model has limitations in managing complex and uncertain environments. This study proposes a new FMEA model that combines minimum-cost conflict risk mitigation (MCCRM) and probabilistic linguistic information to reduce differences in individual risk assessments.

Summary: This paper investigates the issue of overvoltage caused by high and continuously increasing photovoltaic penetration in distribution networks. It introduces a metric called PV levelised cost of integration (LCI) to assess the economic viability of different measures. The study finds that active-reactive power control (ARPC) is the most cost-effective measure for voltage mitigation, and emphasizes the importance of reducing battery energy storage (BES) cost in addressing the overvoltage issue.
