Vulnerability analysis of an all-electric warship
Traditional design processes usually rely on cost as the metric the designer uses to select among different alternatives. Sometimes when costs cannot be calculated we use weight, volume and efficiency as surrogates for cost. However minimizing costs does not necessarily give us the best design for …

Volcanic risk assessment: integrating hazard and social vulnerability analysis
The vulnerability of communities at risk from volcanic activity at Volcan Tungurahua, Ecuador and Mount Rainier in the USA provided the focus for this thesis. The research aimed to develop an integrated approach to risk assessments that combined both hazard and vulnerability analysis. In phase one, …

Vulnerability analysis of electricity distribution networks with large-penetrations of PEVs and DERs
This thesis focuses on the vulnerability assessment of radial electricity distribution networks (DNs) under large-scale integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs). We formulate a two-player Stackelberg security game involving an attacker (external threat …
