MEASUREMENT OF RELIABILITY PARAMETERS FOR A POWER PLANT BY USING ALGEBRA OF LOGICS

Reena Garg

Abstract: In this paper, the author has considered a power plant to evaluate its reliability parameters by using algebra of logics. The system configuration has been shown in fig-1. In this power plant, there are two identical generators G1 and G2 in standby redundancy. Only one generator is sufficient to fulfill the power requirements of whole system. The author has used four change over devices CO1 through CO4 to feed power to four machine 1 2 3 M ,M ,M and M4 .It is assumed that the cables used, to connect all equipments, are hundred percent reliable and we need to operate two machines , , M1 M2 or M 3 and M4 simultaneously. These machines can be operated by switching devices SD1 through 4 SD .

Keywords: power plant, identical generators, standby redundancy, changes over devices
