Identifying critical components for system reliability in power transmission systemsSetréus, Johan January 2011 (has links)
Large interruptions of power supply in the transmission system have considerable impact on modern society. The goal for the transmission system operator (TSO) is to prevent and mitigate such events with optimal decisions in design, planning, operation and maintenance. Identifying critical power components for system reliability provides one important input to this decision-making. This thesis develops quantitative component reliability importance indices applicable for identifying critical components in real transmission systems. Probabilistic models with component failure statistics are combined with detailed power system models evaluated with the AC power flow technique. In the presented method each system component is assigned three importance indices based on outage events expected probability and consequence to (i) reduced system security margin, (ii) interrupted load supply and (iii) disconnected generation units. By ranking components by each of the three interests, a more complete view of the risks to system reliability can be assessed than if, as traditionally, only (ii) is modelled. The impact on security margin is studied in well established critical transfer sections (CTS) supervised by the TSO. TSOs set the CTSs limits [MW] based on deterministic security criteria, with regard to thermal, voltage level, and system stability limits, and the CTSs' condition at post-contingency state is in the method used as an indicator of the system security margin. The methodology is extended with three indices modified to quantify the component importance for common-cause events initiated by acts of sabotage. The developed methods are applied on a significant part of the Great Britain transmission system, modelling 7000 components and 107 substation layouts. The study includes several load demand scenarios, 200 million initiating outage events and non-functioning protection equipment. The resulting component ranking provides an important input to the TSO's decision-making, and could be implemented as a complement to the existing deterministic N-1 criterion. With the methods applied a TSO can perform further and more detailed assessments on a few critical components in order to enhance system reliability for equipment failures and strengthen the system vulnerability against sabotage. / QC 20110920

Registro audiovisual da omissão do estado brasileiro nas políticas públicas de saúde segundo depoimento de lideranças indígenas / Audio-visual record of the omission of the Brazilian State in public policies of health according to testimony from indigenous leaders.Baptista, Valdir 19 September 2016 (has links)
Método: Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa de cunho documental utilizando o audiovisual como lócus de instalação de depoimentos de lideranças indígenas do Estado do Acre, Brasil. O objetivo é analisar registros de vivências de lideranças indígenas sobre suas condições de vida, como contribuição às políticas públicas do SUS. E apresentar uma proposta interventiva a partir das potencialidades do vídeo documentário. Resultados: A população indígena, por uma série de motivos, certamente é a parcela da população brasileira sobre a qual menos existem dados específicos que permitam o estabelecimento de políticas de saúde pública eficazes. Embora tenham ocorrido avanços significativos no conhecimento das questões indígenas e um crescente empoderamento das lideranças indígenas na luta por seus direitos básicos de cidadania, a situação ainda está aquém do esperado. Temas relevantes abordados: 1. Participação nas instâncias do poder público/ direitos indígenas. 2. Medicina tradicional exterioridade da doença. 3. Dificuldades com o SUS. 4. Cuidados de saúde nas aldeias. 5. Segurança Alimentar e desnutrição. 6. Qualidade da água e saneamento básico. 7. Logística. 8. Cobertura vacinal. 9. Saúde das mulheres indígenas. 10. Ecologia e biodiversidade. 11. Morte de crianças indígenas. Conclusões: 1. A omissão sistemática dos governos em qualificar agentes de saúde indígenas no tocante às intervenções em saúde individual e coletiva e no exercício dos direitos sociais. 2. Falta de empenho do SUS em contratar profissionais com formação especializada para compor as equipes e direções do Sistema de Saúde que atuam nas aldeias e nos postos avançados de saúde no interior do território. 3. Dificuldades de comunicação entre as equipes do SUS e os povos indígenas. Há barreiras de idioma, de cultura e de percepção do processo saúde-doença / Method: This is a qualitative research that uses the documentary audio-visual like a place of installation register statements of native indigenous leaders of Acre, Brazil. The objective is to analyze records of indigenous leaders from experiences about their living conditions as a contribution to public SUS policies. And present an interventional proposal from the documentary video potentiality. Results: The indigenous population, for a number of reasons, it is certainly the Brazilian population, on which there is less specific data that allow the establishment of effective public health policies. Although there have been significant advances in knowledge of indigenous issues and a growing empowerment of indigenous leaders in the struggle for their basic rights of citizenship, the situation is still below expectations. Relevant topics approached:1. Participation in public authoritys instances / indigenous rights. 2. Traditional medicine - externality of the disease. 3. Difficulties with SUS. 4. Health care in villages. 5. Food security and malnutrition. 6. Water quality and basic sanitation. 7. Logistics. 8. Vaccination coverage. 9. Indigenous women\'s health. 10. Ecology and biodiversity. 11. Death of indigenous children. Conclusions: 1. the systematic omission of governments in qualify indigenous health workers with regard to the individual and collective health interventions and the exercise of social rights. 2. Lack of commitment of the SUS in hiring professionals with specialized training to compose the teams and directions of the Health System that work in the villages and in the outposts of health in the territory. 3. Difficulties in communication between SUS teams and indigenous peoples. There are barriers to language, culture and perception of the health-disease process
