Simulation Model for Stochastic Analysis and Performance Evaluation of Steam Generator System of a Thermal Power Plant

摘要

This paper presents the stochastic analysis and performance evaluation of turbo generator system of a thermal plant by making the use of performance evaluation using probabilistic approach. The steam generator system of thermal power plant under the research study consists mainly sub-systems boiler, super heater and reheater arranged in series with two feasible states: working and failed. Failure and repair rates for all the sub-systems are assumed to be constant. Initially transition diagram representing the operational behavior is drawn and then problem formulation is done using Markov approach. Based on the data collection and its analysis for thermal Power Plant, Performance matrix for each subsystem is also developed. Then from these results, availability matrices and graphs of failure and repair rates for maximum availability of each system is analysed and then condition based maintenance decisions are decided.
