Selecting a set of bearings to withstand anticipated loads is a common design task with power-transmission equipment. Another deals with finding a cumulative component reliability that exceeds the ...

Distribution system interruption data and IEEE performance indices can provide valuable insights into the tradeoffs involved with reliability improvement measures. Standard 1366 was issued in 1998 and ...

Here’s a way to calculate the reliability for designs with several subsystems. • Weibull plots fit a curve through data, not data to a predetermined distribution’s curve. • After evaluating subsystems ...

Experts at the Table, part 1: The biggest concerns in chip design and how new markets and technologies are affecting them. SE: How do we improve reliability at 7/5/3nm, especially when some of these ...

In downtown Shanghai, China, more than 1500 K-stations serve as the backbone of the medium-voltage 10-kV distribution network. A K-station typically is equipped with a single bus bar system divided ...

SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index) and SAIFI (System Average Interruption Frequency Index) are widely used reliability indices that measure the performance of power distribution ...

The U.S. power network received attention for tragic reasons in 2021. From February 10 through 20, Texas suffered a severe power crisis due to a confluence of catastrophic winter storms. Failures ...

Energy efficiency is often considered to be the main advantage of electric injection molding machines, but that neglects many ...
