The characteristic of component-level faults is that their source impact can be<br />

confined to a component <strong>and</strong> this source impact is independent of other faults locally. So,<br />

the independence features <strong>for</strong> individual component-level faults can be found by<br />

investigating their source impacts. The independence features <strong>for</strong> service faults can be<br />

found by investigating their impact when the system stops.<br />

Deliverable 2.1.5 described the details about how to decouple the RTU faults<br />

based on the taxonomy. Figure 4-2 summarizes the decoupling scheme <strong>for</strong> component<br />

<strong>and</strong> system level faults. Equation (4-3) <strong>for</strong>mulates the decoupling scheme <strong>and</strong> results of<br />

all the rooftop faults. It can be seen that the matrix L of equation (4-3) is sparse <strong>and</strong><br />

lower triangular. The algorithm described in Deliverable 2.1.5 can solve this unilateral<br />

decoupled problem.<br />
