COMPUTER IMPLEMENTED FRAMEWORKS AND METHODOLOGIES FOR ENABLING CLIMATE CHANGE RELATED RISK ANALYSIS

摘要

Described herein are computer implemented frameworks and methodologies for enabling climate change related risk analysis. Aspects of the technology are especially applicable where a desire exists to understand risks in systems containing a large number of interdependent assets.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method for performing risk analysis for a system including a plurality of physical assets, the method including:
for each asset, defining an asset data item; for each asset data item, maintaining data indicative of: (i) dependent assets, being other assets which will fail in response to a failure of the asset;
(ii) precedent assets, being other assets in respect of which failure will cause failure for the asset; operating a risk assessment engine thereby to perform a risk assessment for the system, wherein the risk assessment engine determines an inherent asset failure risk value for each asset; and maintaining a register of asset failure risks, which is populated with inherent asset failure risk values for the asset items as those are determined for the asset in isolation; and for each asset, combining the inherent asset failure risk value for that asset with asset failure risk values for its precedent assets, thereby to define a total asset failure risk value of the asset.
