  1. 16. Third-party risks in industrial control systems: : A case study in the wind power sector

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Abdullahi Ahmed; [2023]
    Keywords : Supply chain security; Wind power; Risk management; Third-party risk management; SCADA-system; Säkerhetshantering för försörjningskedjan; Vindkraft; Riskhantering; Tredjeparts riskhantering; SCADA-system;

    Abstract : This report investigates third-party risk for SCADA systems, using Swedish wind power as an empirical case study. Supervisory, Control, and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are used in the wind power industry to monitor and control the operational process. The paper also proposed potential strategies for reducing third-party risks and exposures. READ MORE

  3. 17. Rapid expansion of roof mounted PV systems in commercial facilities - How can they be insured?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI); Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Erik Lindén; [2023]
    Keywords : PV system fires; PV component failures; PV regulations; future PV regulations; PV risk assessment; PV risk evaluation; PV insurance price; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : PV system components that are exposed to unmanageable strain can be overheated, which subsequently results in a fire ignition. Common failure factors are poor component quality, mechanical exposure due to natural phenomena and poor craftmanship. The underlying problem is that PV regulations are lacking in quality or are non-existent. READ MORE

    Keywords : Risk Matrix; Coarse Risk Analysis; Risk Assessment; Probability-Consequence Diagram; Guidance; Guidelines; Recommendations; Improvement.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Risk matrices are tables with rows representing consequences, and columns representing frequencies. The risk matrix is considered a simple and convenient tool for visualizing risk. However, it has faced critique from the scientific community. READ MORE

  6. 20. Improving Objectivity and Reliability of Observational Risk Assessment Tools by using Technical Instruments

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Cephas Charsmar-Etor; [2023]
    Keywords : Direct measurement instruments; Observational instruments; Body segments and postures; Inertial measurement unit; Wearable sensors;

    Abstract : Ergonomic assessments to determine risks of work-related musculoskeletal disorders as well as to compare designs of work-tasks and workstations, are imperative for high sustainability and productivity in any given industry. Hence, assessment tools that can objectively and reliably capture postures, joint angles and muscle activities play very important role in properly determining risks relating to work and various tasks.
