Abstract:

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 configuration of the coal handling system consists of two subsystems connected in series, also each subsystem have two units in parallel configuration. Failure and repair rate of both the subsystems are taken constant. With the help of Laplace transforms and differential equations, the transition state probabilities, availability, reliability, MTTF, sensitivity analysis and cost-effectiveness of the system have been evaluated.

RELIABILITY MEASURES AND SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS OF A COMPLEX MATRIX SYSTEM INCLUDING POWER FAILURE

This paper investigates the reliability characteristics of a complex system having nine subsystems arranged in the form of 3x3 matrix in which each row contains three subsystems. The configuration of the row is of the type 2-out-of-3: F. Each subsystem has n units connected in series. The system fails if any one row containing three subsystems fails. The considered system analyzed incorporating...

Operation and Maintenance of Crusher House for Coal Handling in Thermal Power Plant

Many utility systems in the world have power plants operating with fossil fuel. In the thermal power plants maximum requirements of fuel is a coal. The handling of this fuel is a great job. To handle the fuel, i.e., coal, each power station is equipped with a coal handling plant. Maintenance of Critical Equipments for Coal Handling Plants (CHP) of Thermal Power Stations is typical job. The fail...

Radioactivity level of soil around a coal-fired thermal power plant of northwest China

Background: The activity concentrations of natural radionuclides in soil around a coal-fired thermal power plant of northwest China were investigated for assessing the radioactivity level. Materials and Methods: Soil samples were collected around the coal-fired thermal power plant and their radioactivity levels were determined using gamma ray spectrometry. Radiation hazards were assessed by rad...
