Miroslav Lesjak made contributions to the analysis presented in the paper. An oversight and confusion on the rights to the analysis work due to funding resulted to Miroslav Lesjak not added to the author group. The complete list of authors should be Miroslav Lesjak, Kevin Hor, and Khairil Rahmat.
Depletion in Malaysia's fossil fuels has caused the country to explore other potential energy source. Of all possible options, nuclear power has been considered the best. However, the plan for its implementation has been met with many challenges primarily within the issue of acceptance among public. This paper explores challenges of implementing nuclear power in Malaysia. Data were obtained through...
The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of component reliability towards the system reliability of the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems. New methodologies are applied to the AC Uninterruptible Power Supply (AC UPS) topologies to evaluate system's reliability by estimating the system's Failure Rates and Mean Time Between Failures. Reliability parameters obtained from five major...
This paper provides an overview of the Malaysian Energy Efficiency regulatory framework as well as current financing and incentive mechanisms available to the building sector. The review has found that some of the existing financing schemes have been successful while others could leverage on other existing schemes to improve its effectiveness. The review will explore the strengths and gaps of the...
The purpose of this paper is to describe the method used to calculate the Reliability and Availability estimations of the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems using Monte-Carlo simulation method. In this method, the failure rates (λ), and availability (A) of the major components in the UPS are simulated by the use of random number generators. The main objective of this method is to produce,...
The paper highlights the reliability estimation tool for power system's reliability estimation study. The reliability estimation tool was applied to the different configurations of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems Capacity, Isolated Redundant, Parallel Redundant, Distributed Redundant, and System plus System Redundant configurations. UPS reliability parameters such as failure rates, Mean...
The aim of this paper is to investigate the reliability parameters estimation method for the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems using the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) technique. FTA is a top-down approach to identify all potential causes leading to system failure. The computation of the system's failure probability is the main goal of this analysis, as this value can be used to calculate other...
The purpose of this paper is to describe and discuss an approach to estimate the Reliability and Availability values of the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems using Monte-Carlo simulation method. In this method, the failure rates (λ), and availability (A) of the major components in the UPS are simulated by the use of random number generators that produces deterministic reliability parameters...
