Evaluation of Smart Grids (scripts)

This repository holds the python algorithm used to create the SHARPE scripts that quantitatively evaluate a fault tree generated by the methodology explained in the paper "Methodology for dependability evaluation of Smart Grids".

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and run on your local machine for testing purposes.

Prerequisites

• Windows OS
• SHARPE Tool
• Python 2.X

Installing SHARPE and choosing the approach

Firstly, you need to get SHARPE Tool and make a copy of its folder in your C: disk with the name Sharpe-Gui.

There are two ways to reproduce the results of the evaluation method for Smart Grids:

1. Use the python algorithm to see the results in Windows Command Prompt.
2. Use the scripts generated by the algorithm directly in SHARPE Tool.

Running the tests

If you choose the first approach, clone this repository by executing the following command:

git clone https://github.com/gisliany/lii-system-ft.git App

Go to the folder App and run the inputs.py file:

cd App
python inputs.py

The SHARPE script generated and used will appear in your command prompt, as well as the results of the evaluation. The failure condition of inputs.py is using the k-out-of-n gate. More precisely, the failure condition is 1-out-of-5.

If you choose the second approach, download the scripts folder in this repository and execute the following commands:

cd scripts
C:\Sharpe-Gui\sharpe\sharpe.exe kofn_1oo5.txt

The second command will call SHARPE in batch mode passing the kofn_1oo5.txt file. This tool will execute the commands in the kofn_1oo5.txt file and it'll show the same values as in the first approach.
