RELIABILITY OF LARGE SCALE CONVEYOR SYSTEMS A Simulation Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
The overall performance of industrial conveyor systems for bulk depends on the reliability of individual system components and their arrangement. A model for dimensioning of large scale systems in the early design stage is discussed. In the model discrete event simulation is used for the modelling of equipment reliability and simple numerical integration is applied for the stacking and loading processes. With the model stock pile dimensions, production flow and service rates of a mineral export terminal can be determined. The use of the model is illustrated with a case. The model is generic with respect to equipment break down distributions and customer characteristics. In case of different equipment arrangements the model logic has to be adapted.

Reliability analysis of repairable systems using system dynamics modeling and simulation
Repairable standby system’s study and analysis is an important topic in reliability. Analytical techniques become very complicated and unrealistic especially for modern complex systems. There have been attempts in the literature to evolve more realistic techniques using simulation approach for reliability analysis of systems. This paper proposes a hybrid approach called as Markov system ...
متن کاملTransmission Reliability Cost Allocation Based on Contingency Filtering by Economic Indices in Large Power Systems
In this paper, the new approach for the transmission reliability cost allocation (TRCA) problem is proposed. In the conventional TRCA problem, for calculating the contribution of each user (generators & loads or contracts) in the reliability margin of each transmission line, the outage analysis is performed for all system contingencies. It is obvious that this analysis is very time-consuming fo...
متن کاملMultiarea Transmission Cost Allocation in Large Power Systems Using the Nodal Pricing Control Approach
This paper proposes an algorithm for transmission cost allocation (TCA) in a large power system based on nodal pricing approach using the multi-area scheme. The nodal pricing approach is introduced to allocate the transmission costs by the control of nodal prices in a single area network. As the number of equations is dependent on the number of buses and generators, this method will be very ti...
متن کاملSimulation-based Knowledge Acquisition for Intelligent Belt Conveyor Monitoring
The development of knowledge-based systems (KBS) enables accumulated experience and knowledge to be applied to the intelligent monitoring in the field of large-scale belt conveyor systems. The first step of building knowledge bases in a KBS is referred to the knowledge acquisition (KA). KA from domain experts and field experiments has often been considered as the most difficult task and time-co...
