Definition of Maintenance Policies in Power Systems Using a Sequential Monte Carlo

U.Porto Journal of Engineering, 2015
This paper reports an application of a simulationmethod called chronological Monte Carlo to evaluate power systems reliability. The Monte Carlo methods are, nowadays, the most widely used method for the estimation of reliability indices.

Monte Carlo simulation for statistical Hauser-Feshbach theory

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2010
Monte Carlo simulations for particle and γ-ray emissions from a compound nucleus based on the Hauser-Feshbach statistical theory are performed. The Monte Carlo method is applied to the neutron induced nuclear reactions on 56Fe, and the results are ...

Monte Carlo and kinetic Monte Carlo methods

, 2009
This article reviews the basic computational techniques for carrying out multi-scale simulations using statistical methods, with the focus on simulations of epitaxial growth. First, the statistical-physics background behind Monte Carlo simulations is briefly described.

Method “Monte Carlo” in healthcare

World Journal of Methodology
In public health, simulation modeling stands as an invaluable asset, enabling the evaluation of new systems without their physical implementation, experimentation with existing systems without operational adjustments, and testing system limits without real-world repercussions.

Multilevel Monte Carlo Methods [PDF]

, 2001
We study Monte Carlo approximations to high dimensional parameter dependent integrals. We survey the multilevel variance reduction technique introduced by the author in [4] and present extensions and new developments of it. The tools needed for the convergence analysis of vector-valued Monte Carlo methods are discussed, as well.
