Abstract

This paper presents substantiation of the obligatory application of the strategic planning methods in order to improve efficiency of the automated systems of fire and explosion protection (ASFEP) at the facilities of the fuel and energy complex (FEC) in the special conditions. To this end, the technological production process of the FEC facilities is divided into destructive and creative subprocesses. It is assumed that the events that cause the potentially dangerous situations, which are connected with fires and explosions, form the destructive subprocess. The activities, which are carried out within the framework of fire safety plans at the FEC facilities and which are controlled by the shift on duty, form the creative subprocess. Events of the first subprocess reduce efficiency of the ASFEP, while events of the second subprocess increase efficiency of this system. Authors of the article propose the continuous curve of recovery of the ASFEP efficiency in order to ensure modelling the type of influence of various rehabilitation measures. Two kinds of the exponential functions enveloping the moments of fire and rehabilitation are analysed for these subprocesses. The article describes the graph of actual rehabilitation of the ASFEP efficiency taking into account assumptions concerning nature of these functions. It was established that management of the relevant measures, which is determined with the help of the strategic planning methods, is the most significant parameter in this model.

Highlights

  • Prevention of the dangerous situations, which can become the reasons of fires and explosions at the facilities of the fuel and energy complex (FEC) is largely dependent on compliance with various safety measures and on application of the state-of-the-art fire-fighting systems [1, 2]

  • We will assume that the ASFEP efficiency depends on time, Figure 1: Decrease in the ASFEP efficiency in the course of the destructive subprocess and rehabilitation the ASFEP efficiency in the case of performance of creative measures while decrease or rehabilitation of the ASFEP efficiency in the course of the above-described subprocesses we will denote as ∆W

  • Due to performance of measures of the creative subprocess, rehabilitation of efficiency of the ASFEP operation is ensured in respect of the fire safety (FS) maintaining

Summary

Introduction

Prevention of the dangerous situations, which can become the reasons of fires and explosions at the facilities of the fuel and energy complex (FEC) is largely dependent on compliance with various safety measures and on application of the state-of-the-art fire-fighting systems [1, 2]. Operational management of various measures of the fire safety (FS) is the important direction of activity of the duty shifts at the FEC enterprises. In order to increase level of awareness and make necessary decision, new practices are proposed. These procedures ensure the quickest finding of the source of ignition, as well as elimination of ignition in the real-time mode taking into account the rate of development of fires [3,4,5]. Timely elaboration of the full-fledged plan, which would ensure the required
