Ranking transmission lines by overload probability using the empirical rate function

B Patch, B Zwart

Conference Proceedings  |  2020  |  2020 International Conference on Probabilistic Methods Applied to Power Systems, PMAPS 2020 - Proceedings

We develop a non-parametric procedure for ranking transmission lines in a power system according to the probability that they will..

Analyzing large frequency disruptions in power systems using large deviations theory

B Patch, B Zwart

Conference Proceedings  |  2020  |  2020 International Conference on Probabilistic Methods Applied to Power Systems, PMAPS 2020 - Proceedings

We propose a method for determining the most likely cause, in terms of conventional generator outages and renewable fluctuations, ..

Networks of of infinite-server queues with multiplicative transitions

Dieter Fiems, Michel Mandjes, Brendan Patch

Journal article  |  2018  |  PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

This paper considers a network of infinite-server queues with the special feature that, triggered by specific events, the network ..

Transient provisioning and performance evaluation for cloud computing platforms: A capacity value approach

Brendan Patch, Thomas Taimre

Journal article  |  2018  |  PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

User demand on the computational resources of cloud computing platforms varies over time. These variations in demand can be predic..

We consider a finite capacity Erlang loss system that alternates between active and inactive states according to a two state modul..

A correction term for the covariance of renewal-reward processes with multivariate rewards

Brendan Patch, Yoni Nazarathy, Thomas Taimre

Journal article  |  2015  |  STATISTICS & PROBABILITY LETTERS

We consider a renewal-reward process with multivariate rewards. Such a process is constructed from an i.i.d.sequence of time perio..
