MCSS Based Numerical Simulation for Reliability Evaluation of Repairable System in NPP
نویسندگان
چکیده
The quantitative analyses of Nuclear Power Plant (NPP)’s repairable systems are conventionally Markov-based methods. The thing is, systems’ state space grows exponentially with the increase of basic events, which makes the problem hard or even impossible to solve. In addition, the maintenance /test activities are frequently imposed on some safety-critical components, which make the Markov based approach unavailable. In this paper, a new numerical simulation approach based on MCSS (Minimal Cut Sequence Set) is proposed, which can get over the shortcomings of the conventional Markov method. Two typical cases are analyzed and results indicate that the new approach is correct as well as feasible.

In this paper, a hybrid meta-heuristic approach is proposed to optimize the mathematical model of a system with mixed repairable and non-repairable components. In this system, repairable and non-repairable components are connected in series. Redundant components and preventive maintenance strategies are applied for non-repairable and repairable components, respectively. The problem is formulate...
