Summary: This research has been directed towards the problem of
powerplant maintenance with the aim to increase availability andreliability
of the plant, its safe functioning and to prolonglife time and functioning
of its components abd systems.
Research has been directed to solve:
- optimal maintenance organization,
- defunition of maintenance informational system as preconditionfor
efficient preparation, organization and quidance ofmaintenance and revision
works,
- measurement and control of the influence of the plant on itsenvironment
and giving of proposals to decrease the harmfuleffects,
- investigation of possibilities for introduction of theautomatized control
and regulation of processes to improvefuelconsumption and safety of work,
- research and development of the expert systems for promptdetection of
failures and finding out of the appropriate removaltechnology.
Keywords: Power plant maintenance system, organization, software for maintenance and diagnosis, automated control, expert systems.
Research goals: Research and definition of the reguired organization
and the maintenance system for complex plants with increase of reliability
and efficiency, operational and maintenance cost optimalization. These are
to be realized through: - Investigation of the key parametars in
powerplants, chemical and processing plants having the purpose to define
the strategy of maintenance, ensuring efficient, economical and reliable
functioning and the increase of profit, - Definition of maintenance
strategy, choice of methods and approaches to decrease stillstands and
failures of components and parts, - Improvement of new methods for
establishing degree of wear, fatique of material, failure of components,
systems and the whole plant, - Investigation and definition of the concept
of quidance of the informational system ASUR as support to the maintenance
system, its development and application through the following
subsystems:definition of the plant components DEFEL, supply and storage of
the spare parts and components NAZAL, subsystem for functioning and failure
FUOTK as well as planing, monitoring of control plant revisions and
maintenance ASURP), - Work out of program systems ASUR (DEFEL, NAZAL, FUOTK
and ASURP) in two variants: for smaller plants in the form of PC network
and for larger plants in the form of medium large systems with relational
data bases and UNIX operational system defining the required activities and
adaptation of existing computer equipment of the user, - Definition of the
required connections of the ASUR with the business informational systen of
power plants, - Development, definition, elaboration and introduction of
the expert systems for detection of failures of certain parts of the plant,
- Research and development of automatization of the process quidance to
increase safety and reliability of work. Other information about the project.
