Model of the Failure Rates of the Valves of St Laurent des Eaux Power Plant According to Influential Parameters

摘要

We intend in this paper to study the reliability of the valves of Saint Laurent des Eaux in terms of their characteristics (section, type, fluid, pressure, temperature) with the help of: data analysis methods (histograms, factorial analysis); mathematical statistics methods (analysis of the trends of the Poisson's law parameters, semi-parametric tests). These methods will allow us to choose the most meaningful parameters and to evaluate their influence. These approaches, which consider the failure rates as functions of the parameters, seem to give some new insights to the state of the art. (Atomindex citation 11:502965)
