There are two types of warranty: commercial and performance. Commercial warranties are short-term and cover defects, component failures and part replacements at the beginning of life (BOL) of an asset, whereas performance warranties are typically given for 15-20-year terms and guarantee the maintenance of specific performance standards.
Despite traditional safety engineering risk assessment techniques still being the most applied techniques, the increasing integration of renewable energy generation source introduces additional complexity to existing energy grid and storage system has caused difficulties for designer to consider all abnormal and normal situation to accustom for safety design into
