  1. 1. Transmission expansion planning considering Probabilistic Risk Assessment : Implemented at Swedish National Grid

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Jakob Björns; [2023]
    Keywords : Probabilistic risk assessment; PSS E; Transmission expansion planning; National grid; Probabilistisk riskbedömning; PSS E; Transmissionsnätsutveckling; Stamnät;

    Abstract : Svenska kraftnät (Swedish National Grid) is the transmission system operator in Sweden and is responsible for maintaining and developing the Swedish transmission grid. One of the tasks included in this responsibility is transmission expansion planning, which means analyzing and planning the capacity in the future transmission grid for the requested load and generation.

  3. 2. Clinical Assessment of Deep Learning-Based Uncertainty Maps in Lung Cancer Segmentation

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

    Author : Federica Carmen Maruccio; [2023]
    Keywords : 3D U-Net; Contouring; Clinical validation; Deep learning; Lung cancer; Monte Carlo dropout; Probability map; Reliability diagram; Segmentation; Uncertainty map;

    Abstract : Prior to radiation therapy planning, tumours and organs at risk need to be delineated. In recent years, deep learning models have opened the possibility of automating the contouring process, speeding up the procedures and helping clinicians. READ MORE

  4. 3. A GP-Surrogate-Based Bayesian Framework for Surge Barrier Optimization

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Abel Valko; [2022]
    Keywords : Bayesian Optimization; Gaussian Process Regression; Storm Surge; GeoClaw; GISSR;

    Abstract : Tropical cyclone induced storm surges are some of the largest environmental risks facing infrastructure and human life in dense urban environments. Hurricane Sandy caused 44 deaths and damage of 19 billion US dollars in New York City alone. READ MORE

  5. 4. Mescape - A probabilistic mesoscopic model for fire evacuation in large gatherings

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Lorenzo Contini; [2022]
    Keywords : Human behaviour; crowd evacuation; mesoscopic modelling; hydraulic model; large gatherings; fire safety; performance-based design; quantitative risk assessment; consequence analysis; uncertainty analysis; probabilistic modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This study presents a mesoscopic model that predicts pedestrian evacuation in large gatherings with probabilistic methods. The model is based on a coarse network representation of buildings, where occupants are treated at a different scale according to their location. READ MORE

  6. 5. The verification and validation of a probabilistic risk analysis method for road tunnels

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Kim Genberg; Karin Sandin; [2020]
    Keywords : Tunnels; fire; evacuation; probabilistic risk analysis; QRA; verification and validation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In this thesis, a new probabilistic risk assessment tool for road tunnels has been verified and validated. The verification and validation were performed along with a literature review to find different key variables that affect the risk in a road tunnel and find out how these variables can be handled.
