Probabilistic Assessment of Power-Producing Components

Abstract:

Assessment of existing components of power producing facilities is based on probabilistic methods of the theory of structural reliability. An example of quick-closing steel valves in a hydroelectric power plant indicates the assessment of reliability and prediction of the remaining working life of a structural component for the considered model of corrosion.
