Component Criticality Importance Measures in Thermal Power Plants Design
This paper presents quantitative component criticality importance indices applicable for identifying and ranking critical components in the phase of thermal power plants design. Identifying critical components for power plant reliability provides one important input to decision-making and guidance throughout the development project. The study of components criticality importance indices to several characteristic structural schemes of conventional thermal power plant is presented and discussed. Keywords—Component criticality importance measures, discrete event, reliability, thermal power plant.
