Abstract: Given the often-limited availability of real electricity network data, this paper presents methodology for the synthesis of multilevel electricity networks for use in applied network failure and risk analysis. The proposed ...

Abstract: Water resource planning in large river basins requires large sets of hydrological sequences to evaluate system performance under conditions that extend beyond the historical record, in turn requiring techniques capable of ...

Abstract: Flood risk studies require hydraulic modeling in order to estimate flow depths and other hydraulic variables in the floodplain for a wide range of input conditions. Currently there is a need to improve the computational ...

Abstract: Rail networks comprise complex interdependent systems with extensive trackside and off-track assets that are exposed to extreme weather-related hazards. In this paper, a methodology is presented for flood risk assessment ...

Abstract: Sensitivity analysis is well recognized as being an important aspect of the responsible use of hydraulic models. This paper reviews a range of methods for sensitivity analysis. Two applications, one to a simple pipe bend ...

Abstract: The flooding system includes the physical process of flooding, the inhabitants of floodplains, their infrastructures and ecosystems, and the people and organizations in the public and private sector that influence or are ...

Abstract: National infrastructure systems (energy, transport, digital communications, water, and waste) provide essential services to society. Although for the most part these systems developed in a piecemeal way, they are now an ...
