Abstract

The article considers the urgent choice of a solution to the problem of reliable operation of power plants in the maneuvering modes. The performance reliability of power units is assessed. There are listed actual methods of studying the reliability of power plants, which are used in the practice of operation and design of power plants, in particular the electrical part in a statistical state. There is proposed a structural-functional method of studying the reliability of power plants, which allows to analyze the cause-and-effect relationships of the structural diagram elements in the stationary and transient modes of operation and obtain a synthesizing assessment of the final result of the power plant operation, taking into account the factors affecting the mode change. The scheme of directed graphs is illustrated: serial and parallel connection of elements, with direct and reverse stochastic connections. Formulas are given for calculating the availability factor (operability of an individual element or a functional circuit), as well as the inoperability factor due to the frequency of failures and remedial repairs. A case of practical application of the structural-functional method studying the reliability of power plants is considered. The elements of the block diagram of the power unit, turbine plant, electrical connections are listed. An algorithm for calculating the reliability of operation of a 250-300 MW power unit in the modes of start-up, shutdown, load control, stationary and emergency shutdown is considered. The logical sequence of operations of the technological process of the power unit is given. It is noted that the calculations were made on a personal computer in an interactive mode, labor costs amounted to about eight hours for an engineer of average qualification. According to the calculations performed, the conclusions were drawn for the power plant operating in the shunting mode as a whole: frequent starts/stops have a negative impact on the performance of power units, therefore, there is recommended a load mode within the allowable limits of power change.
