Abstract
Generator is key unit of steam turbine power plant which is used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. This energy is further used for completing the requirement generated by various sectors of country. Generator is one of the most important component of steam turbine power plant configured with seven subsystems in series configuration. So, it is necessary to ensure its smooth functioning which is attain by the proper functioning of its subcomponents. It is important to increase operational availability of subsystem. Hence, present study is proposed to investigate various reliability measures of generator used in STP through RAMD approach at component level. For this purpose, mathematical models using Markovian birth death process have been developed for all subsystems of generator. These models are very helpful in reliability, maintainability, and availability analysis of generators. RAMD analysis will play significant role in this direction. This will help to find critical component of system so that proper maintenance strategies can be proposed. It is assumed that all failure and repair rates associated with each component followed exponential distribution and adequate repair facility always remains available with system. Various system performance measures like reliability function, maintainability function, dependability function and steady state availability for different components as well as system have been evaluated. The numerical results have been derived to highlight the importance of study.
