Evaluation of Reliability of a Power Plant with the Aid of Boolean Function Expansion Algorithm

چکیده
In this paper, investigation has been carried out for the evaluation of reliability behaviour of a power plant with the aid of Boolean function expansion algorithm. The complex system under consideration consists of four power generators in a power house. The object of the system is to supply power from a power house generated by generators to critical consumers fed from an output main switch and consequently, the reliability of the supply has been calculated by considering that failure times for various components i.e., cables, generators and main switch boards etc follow arbitrary distribution.

Optimal expansion of medium-voltage power networks is a common issue in electrical distribution planning. Minimizing total cost of the objective function with technical constraints and reliability limits, make it a combinatorial problem which should be solved by optimization algorithms. This paper presents a new hybrid simulated annealing and tabu search algorithm for distribution network expan...
متن کاملProjects performance evaluation model based on Choquet Integral
In most of the multi–criteria decision–analysis (MCDA) problems in which the Choquet integral is used as aggregation function, the coefficients of Choquet integral (capacity) are not known in advance. Actually, they could be calculated by capacity definition methods. In these methods, the preference information of decision maker (DM) is used to constitute a possible solution space. ...

Although significant private investment is absorbed in different sectors of power systems, transmission sector is still suffering from appropriate private investment. This is because of the pricing policies of transmission services, tariffs, and especially for investment risks. Investment risks are due to the uncertain behaviour of power systems that discourage investors to invest in the transm...

The present paper investigates the reliability and sensitivity analysis of a coal handling unit of a thermal power plant using a probabilistic approach. Coal handling unit is the main block of a thermal power plant and it is necessary for a good function of a power plant that its power supply, which is dealt in coal handling unit, must function continuously without any obstacle. The configurati...
