Distribution Reliability and Automation

169
Distribution reliability in electrical power systems is critical for ensuring an uninterrupted power supply to consumers at minimal cost. According to IEEE Standard Terms, reliability is the probability that a device will function without failure over a specified time period or amount of usage. For electric power distribution, this translates to maintaining continuous power supply and addressing customer concerns over power outages. Several indices, as defined by IEEE Standard 1366-2012, are...

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior

7
Automatic processing refers to the cognitive operations that occur without conscious intent or awareness, playing a fundamental role in shaping social cognition and behavior. These processes enable individuals to navigate complex social environments efficiently by relying on mental shortcuts and pre-existing knowledge structures known as schemas. One of the most influential mechanisms underlying automatic processing is priming, which subtly activates mental representations through exposure to...

Control Systems

1.5K
Control systems are everywhere in contemporary society, influencing diverse applications from aerospace to automated manufacturing. These systems can be found naturally within biological processes, such as blood sugar regulation and heart rate adjustment in response to stress, as well as in man-made systems like elevators and automated vehicles. A control system is essentially a network of subsystems and processes that collaboratively convert specific inputs into desired outputs.
At the heart...

Open and closed-loop control systems

1.1K
Control systems are foundational elements in automation and engineering. They are broadly categorized into open-loop and closed-loop systems. These classifications hinge on the presence or absence of feedback mechanisms, significantly influencing the system's performance, complexity, and application.
An open-loop control system operates without feedback from the output. It consists of two primary elements: the controller and the controlled process. The controller receives an input signal...

Mechanical Efficiency of Real Machines

894
The mechanical efficiency of a machine is a fundamental concept that describes how effectively a machine can convert input work into output work. According to this concept, the efficiency of a machine is equal to the ratio of the output work to the input work. An ideal machine, meaning a machine that has no energy losses, has an efficiency of one. This implies that the input work and the output work are equal.
However, in reality, no machine can be truly ideal, and all of them experience some...

Summary

This study introduces an automation risk index for job profiles. This tool helps understand worker reallocation needs and guides retraining policies for the future workforce.

Area of Science:

  • Economics
  • Labor Studies
  • Sociology

Background:

  • The increasing pace of automation presents significant challenges to the existing labor market.
  • Understanding the differential impact of automation across various job roles is crucial for proactive policy development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an automation risk index (ARI) applicable to diverse job profiles.
  • To utilize the ARI to identify sectors and occupations most vulnerable to automation-induced displacement.
  • To provide data-driven insights for informing effective worker reallocation and retraining strategies.

Main Methods:

  • A novel methodology was employed to construct the ARI, integrating task-based automation potential with job-specific characteristics.
  • The index was applied to a comprehensive dataset of job profiles across multiple industries.
