Reliability simulation of a multi-configurable power generation system
Reliability simulation of a multi-configurable power generation system
The power generation system of the Type 23 Frigate is multi-configurable, with a range of operator rules for choosing a configuration under various operational requirements or subsystem failures. YARD built a model of this system under contract to Yarrow Shipbuilders Ltd., in order to forecast the system availability as a function of mission profile, and thus identify any potential weaknesses in the system or its equipment, and non-compatibilities with specified target requirements. The model uses discrete-event Monte-Carlo simulation, and includes the system topography, start-up and random failures, and the system operating rules. The complexity of these operating rules required the concepts of a knowledge-based system approach to be applied to the problem, giving an interesting combination of O.R. and Expert Systems methodologies.

Abstract
The power generation system of the Type 23 Frigate is multi-configurable, with a range of operator rules for choosing a configuration under various operational requirements or subsystem failures. YARD built a model of this system under contract to Yarrow Shipbuilders Ltd., in order to forecast the system availability as a function of mission profile, and thus identify any potential weaknesses in the system or its equipment, and non-compatibilities with specified target requirements. The model uses discrete-event Monte-Carlo simulation, and includes the system topography, start-up and random failures, and the system operating rules. The complexity of these operating rules required the concepts of a knowledge-based system approach to be applied to the problem, giving an interesting combination of O.R. and Expert Systems methodologies.
