Abstract
A number of unnecessary false alarms generated from a loose part monitoring system during heating and cooling operation of a power plant increase the workload of the power plant operators and the analysts. Accordingly, there is a need to develop an algorithm capable of reducing the occurrence of unnecessary false alarms by effectively decreasing the alarms generated by thermal shocks. In this study, the algorithm is suggested to effectively decrease the alarms generated by thermal shocks, and the performance of algorithm is tested by both simulation scenarios and actual alarm signals collected from power plants. The suggested algorithm only uses the values already calculated in LPMS and does not require additional computational effort. From the result, the algorithm is capable of reducing 62.5% of false alarms occurred by thermal shocks. Through this, it is expected that the effort spent on unnecessary task can be reduced, and the workload of the power plant operators and analysts can be reduced.
