Power Plants

[ccrodrig]

Dear Members:

At a power plant with 40 years old, we have a MTBF of 1300 hrs, with 6 units of 80MW each. Where Do I can get more information to Benchmark?

Thanks in advance

Dear members:
what are the differences of using "Time-to-Failure" and Markovian Prediction Models in a Power plant environment ?

dear carlos
please guide me ro calculate MTBF for power plant? also if you have some document on the mtbf, reliability & weibll analysis , please help me & will request your urgent mail on my e-mail address qakaue@yahoo.co.uk

how i can find power plant (thermal) reliability please guide me (babak.am63@gmail.com)

if you have failure data of the plant/components then first findout the failure distribution and then you can go for the analysis for reliability.

I think you're looking for the impossible. It would be very difficult the benchmark plant of this age working under the same conditions, (duty/redundancy), with the same maintenance regimes etc etc

If you have failure data, the best you could do was carry out anaylsis to detemine failure distribution and take it from there.

Good Luck.

Construction costs are very difficult to quantify but dominate the cost of Nuclear Power. The main difficulty is that third generation power plants now proposed are claimed to be both substantially cheaper and faster to construct than the second generation power plants now in operation throughout the world
