Abstract:
This paper is focused on Reliability Block Diagram generation with the aim of providing a reliability prediction in the early stages of Oil&Gas product development, in particular for gas turbine auxiliary systems. Reliability assessment is achieved with a dedicated tool named RBDesigner that semi-automatically generates a RBD starting from the sketch of thermal-hydraulic systems and provides the most important reliability parameters.
Furthermore this paper shows a new approach to assessing reliability of standby redundancy architectures that are widely used in Oil&Gas applications.
