Industrial Automatic Control Systems and Controllers Annotation << Back Method of Estimation of Probabilistic Consequences of Refusal of Electric Power Plants with Automatic Reservation A.S. Ganichev The work is devoted to the urgent problem of increasing the reliability of electric power plants with automatic redundancy. A method for estimating the consequences of equipment failure based on the use of scoring of the consequences of its key links failure is proposed. Consequences of failure are considered as a certain characteristic of the object, which shows the loss from disconnecting the equipment as a result of any node failure. The factor of equipment failure is considered when using redundancy system in the object. The application of the proposed method allows increasing the effi ciency of the use of production equipment with the help of available means, within existing automated control systems, due to operation by the criterion of technical condition. Specifi c ways of implementing the proposed method are outlined.
