AbstractThis paper highlights a case study of typical premature failure of a radiant platen superheater tube of 210 MW thermal power plant boiler. Visual examination, dimensional measurement and chemical analysis, are conducted as part of the investigations. Apart from these, metallographic analysis and fractography are also conducted to ascertain the probable cause of failure. Finally it has been concluded that the premature failure of the super heater tube can be attributed to localized creep at high temperature. The corrective actions has also been suggested to avoid this type of failure in near future.

In this paper, kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) is studied for fault detection and identification in the instruments of nuclear power plants. We propose to use mean values of the sensor reconstruction errors of a KPCA model for fault isolation and identification. They provide useful information about the directions and magnitudes of detected faults, which are usually not available from other fault isolation techniques. The performance of the method is demonstrated by applications to real NPP measurements.
