- Abstract:
- The use of simulation tools for industrial system analysis is continuously increasing in Oil & Gas applications, (such as the development of lubricating systems). In particular Virtual HazOp (acronym of Hazard and Operability) analysis is an important tool to optimize the plant in terms of diagnostics for Maintainability, Safety, Risk assessment and management. Also the use of simulation tools can drastically increase speed, efficiency and reliability in the design process of safety critical systems. Authors, in collaboration whit GE-Nuovo Pignone, have developed a library of customizable models of thermal-hydraulic components, through an innovative thermal-hydraulic library, that is an extension of the Simscape libraries in Matlab-Simulink™. Furthermore, this tool is optimized for Fixed Step solvers to make easier the simulation of complex interactions with digital logic components, controllers and the fast prototyping of Real Time code. Aim of the proposed tool is non-destructive testing for production purposes. Results of the Virtual HazOp analysis are presented, according to the simulation of the model carried out, and automatically performed through a graphical user interface. In this work, two case studies are then presented: a lubrication system of an auxiliary system of a rotating machine and a RunDown Tank applied to a rotating machine.
