Application of Chernoff bound to passive system reliability evaluation for probabilistic safety assessment of nuclear power plants

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2022
There is an increasing interest in passive safety systems to minimize the need for operator intervention or external power sources in nuclear power plants. Because a passive system has a weak driving force, there is greater uncertainty in the performance

The Sustainability of the Popular House in Saharan Human Settlements

open access: yesProceedings of the International Conference of Contemporary Affairs in Architecture and Urbanism-ICCAUA, 2019
Hot desert regions, like ALGERIAN SAHARA, are very challenging in terms of building energy consumption. The energy demand needs to be reduced significantly before employing renewable energy, and a way to achieve that is through applying vernacular ...

ON PASSIVE SYSTEMS: FROM LINEARITY TO NONLINEARITY

open access: yesIFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1992
In this note we study when the passivity of a nonlinear system can be infered from the passivity of the associated first order approximation. Our contribution is the proof that this is possible provided the input vectorfields and output functions of the nonlinear system satisfy some rank and integrability conditions.

System Identification for Passive Linear Quantum Systems [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2016
System identification is a key enabling component for the implementation of quantum technologies, including quantum control. In this paper, we consider the class of passive linear input-output systems, and investigate several basic questions: (1) which parameters can be identified?
