Reliability Analysis of the Electrical Control System of Subsea Blowout Preventers Using Markov Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reliability analysis of the electrical control system of a subsea blowout preventer (BOP) stack is carried out based on Markov method. For the subsea BOP electrical control system used in the current work, the 3-2-1-0 and 3-2-0 input voting schemes are available. The effects of the voting schemes on system performance are evaluated based on Markov models. In addition, the effects of failure rates of the modules and repair time on system reliability indices are also investigated.

This paper presents a quantitative reliability and availability evaluation method for subsea blowout preventer (BOP) system by translating fault tree (FT) into dynamic Bayesian networks (DBN) directly, taking account of imperfect repair. The FTs of series system and parallel system are translated into Bayesian networks, and extended to DBN subsequently. The multi-state degraded system is used t...
متن کاملRAMS Analysis of Hybrid Redundancy System of Subsea Blowout Preventer Based on Stochastic Petri Nets
This paper presents the stochastic Petri net (SPN) model of the hybrid redundancy system. The capacity of fault detection is taken into account in the model. Besides, the method to perform reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS) analysis has been proposed based on the isomorphic Markov chain of the SPN model. The presented methodology is demonstrated by a case study of the ...
